Included code reorg of zotnet/mts
[nmh] / ChangeLog
1 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
2
3 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
4 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
5 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
6 now finally mts.
7
8 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
9 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
10 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
11 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
12
13 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
14 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
15 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
16 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
17 merged into the smtp code).
18
19 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
20 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
21 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
22 of it for us.
23
24 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
25 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
26 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
27 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
28 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
29 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
30 in the appropriate Makefile.in
31
32 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
33
34 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
35 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
36 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
37 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
38 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
39 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
40 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
41 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
42 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
43 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
44 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
45
46 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
47
48 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
49 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
50 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
51 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
52 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
53 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
54 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
55 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
56 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
57
58 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
59
60 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
61 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
62 able to access them.
63
64 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
65
66 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
67 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
68
69 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
70
71 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
72 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
73 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
74 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
75
76 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
77
78 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
79 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
80 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
81 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
82 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
83
84 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
85 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
86
87 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
88
89 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
90
91 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
92 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
93 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
94 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
95
96 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
97 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
98 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
99 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
100
101 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
102 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
103 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
104 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
105
106 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
107 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
108 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
109
110 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
111
112 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
113 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
114 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
115 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
116 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
117 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
118 my users.
119
120 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
121 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
122
123 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
124 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
125
126 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
127
128 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
129
130 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
131
132 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
133 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
134 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
135 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
136
137 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
138
139 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
140 be easily changed from "," to "#".
141
142 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
143
144 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
145
146 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
147 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
148 README.developers.
149
150 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
151
152 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
153 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
154 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
155 but not for the subsequent data stream.
156
157 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
158
159 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
160 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
161 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
162 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
163 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
164
165 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
166
167 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
168 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
169
170 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
171 cat, also define lorder as echo.
172
173 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
174
175 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
176
177 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
178 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
179 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
180
181 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
182
183 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
184 #if 0 block).
185
186 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
187 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
188
189 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
190
191 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
192 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
193
194 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
195
196 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
197 inc does not need to be setgid.
198
199 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
200
201 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
202 library, as found on Debian systems.
203
204 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
205
206 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
207
208 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
209 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
210 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
211 case-insensitivity flag.
212
213 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
214
215 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
216 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
217
218 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
219
220 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
221 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
222 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
223 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
224 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
225 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
226 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
227 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
228 getting moved aside).
229
230 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
231 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
232
233 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
234
235 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
236 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
237 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
238 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
239 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
240 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
241 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
242 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
243 the prototype, but never sets it.
244
245 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
246 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
247 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
248 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
249 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
250 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
251
252 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
253 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
254 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
255 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
256 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
257
258 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
259
260 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
261 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
262 of tws.h.
263
264 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
265 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
266 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
267 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
268 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
269 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
270 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
271
272 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
273
274 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
275
276 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
277 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
278 this works on other systems.
279
280 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
281
282 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
283 checks for write failures.
284
285 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
286
287 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
288
289 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
290 is patched in.
291
292 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
293
294 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
295
296 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
297
298 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
299 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
300 a buffer boundary.
301
302 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
303
304 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
305 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
306 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
307 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
308
309 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
310
311 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
312 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
313 place.
314
315 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
316 as well as Makefiles.
317
318 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
319
320 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
321 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
322 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
323 should make maintainability easier.
324
325 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
326 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
327 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
328 whatever you know works.
329
330 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
331
332 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
333 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
334 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
335
336 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
337 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
338 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
339 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
340
341 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
342 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
343 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
344
345 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
346 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
347 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
348 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
349 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
350
351 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
352 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
353 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
354 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
355 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
356 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
357 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
358 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
359 from the BSD version.
360
361 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
362 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
363 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
364
365 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
366 in ruserpass.c also.
367
368 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
369 report:
370
371 This happens on solaris:
372
373 % man mts.conf
374 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
375 No manual entry for mts.conf.
376
377 It is fixed by
378
379 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
380
381 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
382 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
383
384 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
385
386 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
387 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
388 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
389 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
390 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
391 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
392 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
393 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
394 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
395 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
396 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
397
398 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
399 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
400 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
401 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
402 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
403 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
404 out of nowhere.
405
406 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
407 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
408 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
409 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
410 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
411
412 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
413 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
414
415 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
416
417 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
418 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
419 to stdin, such as exmh.
420
421 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
422 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
423 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
424 other files.
425
426 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
427
428 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
429 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
430 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
431 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
432 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
433 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
434 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
435
436 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
437
438 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
439 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
440
441 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
442
443 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
444 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
445
446 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
447
448 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
449 --enable-apop.
450
451 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
452 along with any -host or -user option.
453
454 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
455
456 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
457
458 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
459 process was fresh in my mind.
460
461 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
462
463 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
464 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
465
466 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
467
468 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
469
470 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
471 patch:
472
473 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
474 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
475 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
476 part of the program's name.
477
478 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
479 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
480 to quote.
481
482 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
483
484 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
485 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
486 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
487 single-character format would cause programs using this
488 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
489 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
490 when the format string was one character. This eventually
491 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
492 in the array.
493
494 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
495
496 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
497 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
498 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
499 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
500 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
501 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
502
503 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
504 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
505 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
506 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
507 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
508 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
509 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
510 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
511
512 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
513 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
514 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
515 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
516 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
517 tags, and "&lt;" and "&gt;" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
518 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
519 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
520 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
521 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
522
523 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
524
525 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
526 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
527
528 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
529 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
530
531 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
532 exit 2
533
534 and:
535
536 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
537
538 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
539 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
540 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
541 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
542
543 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
544 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
545 problem in the routine.
546
547 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
548
549 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
550 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
551
552 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
553 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
554 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
555 spool somehow.
556
557 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
558
559 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
560 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
561 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
562 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
563 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
564 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
565 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
566 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
567 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
568 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
569
570 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
571
572 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
573 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
574 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
575 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
576 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
577 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
578 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
579 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
580 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
581 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
582 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
583 interesting than a duplication of the default.
584
585 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
586 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
587 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
588 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
589 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
590
591 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
592 POP is enabled.
593
594 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
595
596 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
597 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
598 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
599 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
600 here.
601
602 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
603
604 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605
606 * Applied, after some finessing,
607 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
608
609 Here's a patch that allows you to add
610
611 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
612
613 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
614 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
615 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
616 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
617
618 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
619
620 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
621 forgetting to do so!).
622
623 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
624 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
625 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
626 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
627 arguments to enable all three types.
628
629 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
630 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
631
632 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
633 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
634 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
635 updated copy of mts.conf.
636
637 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
638
639 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
640 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
641 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
642
643 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
644 and
645 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
646
647 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
648 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
649 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
650
651 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
652 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
653 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
654
655 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
656 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
657 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
658
659 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
660
661 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
662
663 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
664
665 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
666
667 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
668 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
669
670 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
671 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
672 certain suffix to run properly.
673
674 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
675 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
676 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
677
678 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
679 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
680 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
681 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
682 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
683 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
684 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
685
686 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
687
688 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
689 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
690 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
691 until some year far in the future).
692
693 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
694
695 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
696
697 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
698 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
699
700 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
701 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
702 corrupted.
703
704 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
705
706 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
707 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
708 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
709 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
710 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
711 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
712
713 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
714
715 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
716
717 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
718 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
719 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
720
721 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
722 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
723 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
724 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
725 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
726 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
727 leads me to:
728
729 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
730 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
731 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
732 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
733 of masquerading individually.
734
735 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
736 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
737 GECOS field delimiters.
738
739 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
740
741 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
742 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
743 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
744 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
745 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
746 and explaining the feature.
747
748 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
749
750 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
751 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
752 so).
753
754 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
755 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
756 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
757
758 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
759 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
760 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
761 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
762
763 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
764 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
765 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
766 anywhere.
767
768 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
769
770 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
771 code to be executed.
772
773 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
774
775 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
776
777 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
778 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
779 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
780 quotes embedded in them.
781
782 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
783
784 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
785 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
786 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
787 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
788 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
789 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
790 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
791 allowed to specify.
792
793 The other theory is that because you can say something like
794 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
795 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
796 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
797 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
798
799 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
800
801 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
802
803 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
804 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
805 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
806 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
807
808 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
809 KPOP server.
810
811 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
812
813 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
814
815 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
816
817 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
818 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
819 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
820
821 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
822 mhn.defaults.sh.
823
824 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
825
826 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
827 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
828 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
829 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
830 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
831 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
832
833 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
834 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
835
836 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
837
838 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
839 page.
840
841 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
842
843 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
844 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
845 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
846 to be setgid.
847
848 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
849 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
850 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
851 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
852 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
853 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
854 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
855 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
856 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
857 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
858 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
859 processing that post has).
860
861 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
862
863 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
864 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
865 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
866 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
867 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
868 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
869 Solaris 2.6).
870
871 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
872
873 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
874
875 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
876
877 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
878
879 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
880 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
881
882 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
883 command-line.
884
885 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
886
887 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
888 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
889 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
890 some development.
891
892 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
893
894 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
895 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
896 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
897 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
898 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
899 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
900
901 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
902
903 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
904
905 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
906
907 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
908 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
909 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
910 caught again. This works for now.
911
912 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
913
914 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
915
916 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
917 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
918
919 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
920
921 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
922 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
923
924 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
925
926 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
927
928 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
929
930 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
931 changes. Both need more cleanup.
932
933 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
934
935 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
936 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
937 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
938 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
939 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
940 multiple purposes.
941
942 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
943
944 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
945 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
946 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
947
948 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
949 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
950 config.guess.
951
952 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953
954 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
955 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
956 to a directory on another device with more free space.
957
958 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
959
960 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
961 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
962
963 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
964
965 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
966 distributed.
967
968 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
969 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
970
971 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
972 macros, regardless of platform.
973
974 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
975 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
976
977 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
978 with x-conversions=gzip.
979
980 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
981
982 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
983 post.c.
984
985 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
986 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
987 implicit definition of ioctl().
988
989 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
990 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
991 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
992 want to mess with them.
993
994 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
995
996 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
997 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
998
999 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1000 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1001
1002 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1003 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1004 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1005
1006 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1007 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1008 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1009
1010 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1011 function initgroups.
1012
1013 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1014 function.
1015
1016 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1017 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1018 to fix warnings.
1019
1020 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1021 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1022 prevent warnings.
1023
1024 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1025 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1026 statements).
1027
1028
1029 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1030
1031 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1032 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1033 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1034
1035 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1036 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1037
1038 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1039
1040 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1041
1042 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1043 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1044 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1045 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1046
1047 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1048 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1049
1050 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1051
1052 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1053
1054 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1055
1056 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1057 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1058
1059 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1060
1061 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1062 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1063
1064 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1065 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1066 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1067 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1068
1069 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1070 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1071
1072 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1073
1074 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1075 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1076
1077 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1078
1079 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1080 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1081 proper #defines.
1082
1083 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1084
1085 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1086
1087 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1088
1089 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1090 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1091
1092 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1093 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1094 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1095
1096 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1097 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1098 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1099
1100 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1101 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1102 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1103
1104 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1105 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1106 <swb@nconnect.net>.
1107
1108 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1109 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1110
1111 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1112 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1113
1114 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1115 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1116
1117 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1118 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1119 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1120
1121 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1122 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1123
1124 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1125 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1126 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1127
1128 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1129 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1130 <rmg@netapp.com>.
1131
1132 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1133 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1134
1135 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1136 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1137 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1138 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1139
1140 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1141 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1142
1143 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1144
1145 * Released nmh-1.0.
1146
1147 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1148 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1149 would not be changed.
1150
1151 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1152 one from the Apache web server.
1153
1154 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1155 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1156
1157 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1158 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1159 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1160
1161 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1162
1163 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1164
1165 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1166 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1167 verbose printing).
1168
1169 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1170 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1171 removes a bad race condition.
1172
1173 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1174 style drop file.
1175
1176 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1177 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1178 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1179
1180 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1181 sequence information.
1182
1183 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1184 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1185
1186 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1187 count.
1188
1189 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1190 is empty.
1191
1192 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1193
1194 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1195 interpret 034 as octal.
1196
1197 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1198
1199 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1200 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1201
1202 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1203 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1204
1205 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1206 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1207
1208 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1209 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1210
1211 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1212 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1213
1214 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1215 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1216 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1217
1218 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1219 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1220 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1221
1222 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1223
1224 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1225
1226 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1227 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1228 file "mhoutsbr.c".
1229
1230 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1231
1232 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1233 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1234
1235 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1236 header field information.
1237
1238 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1239 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1240
1241 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1242 values when parsing a content.
1243
1244 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1245 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1246
1247 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1248 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1249
1250 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1251 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1252
1253 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1254 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1255
1256 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1257
1258 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1259
1260 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1261
1262 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1263
1264 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1265 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1266 read.
1267
1268 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1269 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1270
1271 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1272 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1273 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1274 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1275 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1276 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1277 be setuid/setgid.
1278
1279 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1280
1281 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1282 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1283 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1284
1285 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1286 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1287
1288 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1289
1290 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1291 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1292 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1293 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1294
1295 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1296 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1297 fix).
1298
1299 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1300 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1301 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1302 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1303 arguments.
1304
1305 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1306
1307 * Released nmh-0.27.
1308
1309 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1310 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1311
1312 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1313 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1314 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1315 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1316 with no arguments.
1317
1318 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1319 mhbuild returns an error.
1320
1321 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1322 rename the draft file.
1323
1324 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1325 use a global variable.
1326
1327 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1328 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1329
1330 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1331 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1332
1333 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1334 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1335 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1336
1337 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1338 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1339
1340 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1341 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1342 this new page.
1343
1344 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1345 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1346 viamail program.
1347
1348 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1349 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1350
1351 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1352 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1353 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1354
1355 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1356 to new function output_content_folder.
1357
1358 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1359 new function output_content_file.
1360
1361 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1362 to new function parse_format_string.
1363
1364 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1365 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1366 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1367 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1368
1369 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1370 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1371 message/external file from ftp.
1372
1373 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1374 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1375 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1376
1377 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1378 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1379 mhfree.c.
1380
1381 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1382 file mhshowsbr.c.
1383
1384 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1385 new file mhstoresbr.c
1386
1387 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1388 file mhparse.c.
1389
1390 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1391 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1392
1393 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1394 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1395
1396 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1397 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1398 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1399
1400 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1401
1402 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1403
1404 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1405 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1406 to main().
1407
1408 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1409 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1410
1411 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1412 to mhparse.c).
1413
1414 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1415
1416 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1417
1418 * Released nmh-0.26.
1419
1420 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1421 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1422 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1423 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1424
1425 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1426 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1427 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1428 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1429 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1430
1431 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1432 But it is not on by default.
1433
1434 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1435 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1436
1437 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1438
1439 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1440
1441 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1442
1443 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1444
1445 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1446 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1447
1448 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1449
1450 * Released nmh-0.25.
1451
1452 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1453 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1454 uses the original name of the library.
1455
1456 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1457 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1458 links remaining.
1459
1460 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1461 list_content and list_debug.
1462
1463 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1464
1465 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1466 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1467
1468 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1469
1470 * Released nmh-0.24.
1471
1472 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1473
1474 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1475 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1476
1477 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1478 large sequence line.
1479
1480 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1481
1482 * Released nmh-0.23.
1483
1484 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1485
1486 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1487 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1488 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1489 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1490
1491 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1492 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1493 file h/mhnsbr.h.
1494
1495 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1496
1497 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1498
1499 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1500
1501 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1502 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1503
1504 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1505 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1506
1507 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1508 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1509
1510 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1511 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1512
1513 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1514
1515 * Released nmh-0.22.
1516
1517 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1518 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1519
1520 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1521
1522 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1523 mh-profile(5) man page.
1524
1525 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1526 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1527
1528 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1529
1530 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1531
1532 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1533 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1534
1535 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1536
1537 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1538 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1539 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1540
1541 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1542 source message on the standard input.
1543
1544 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1545
1546 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1547 rather than -rfc934mode.
1548
1549 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1550 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1551 only one message.
1552
1553 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1554 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1555
1556 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1557 it is still needed.
1558
1559 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1560
1561 * Released nmh-0.21.
1562
1563 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1564 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1565
1566 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1567 encoding to use.
1568
1569 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1570 to use for text contents.
1571
1572 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1573
1574 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1575
1576 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1577
1578 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1579
1580 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1581 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1582
1583 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1584 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1585 spaces between encoded word are.
1586
1587 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1588
1589 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1590 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1591
1592 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1593 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1594 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1595
1596 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1597
1598 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1599 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1600
1601 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1602
1603 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1604
1605 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1606 ISO-8859-X character set.
1607
1608 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1609 pager more.
1610
1611 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1612 permissions, not write permissions.
1613
1614 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1615 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1616
1617 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1618 distribution.
1619
1620 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1621
1622 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1623
1624 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1625 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1626
1627 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1628 message contains valid character set.
1629
1630 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1631 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1632
1633 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1634 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1635
1636 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1637 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1638 between an encoded word and normal text.
1639
1640 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1641 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1642
1643 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1644 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1645
1646 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1647 and -help.
1648
1649 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1650 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1651 loops).
1652
1653 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1654 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1655
1656 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1657 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1658
1659 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1660
1661 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1662
1663 * Released nmh-0.20.
1664
1665 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1666
1667 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1668
1669 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1670 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1671 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1672
1673 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1674 and the To: line was missing.
1675
1676 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1677
1678 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1679
1680 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1681
1682 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1683 watch the POP transaction.
1684
1685 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1686 first, and use it if available.
1687
1688 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1689 first, and use it if available.
1690
1691 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1692
1693 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1694
1695 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1696 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1697 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1698 sequence line.
1699
1700 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1701 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1702 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1703
1704 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1705 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1706 lines.
1707
1708 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1709
1710 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1711 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1712
1713 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1714
1715 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1716 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1717
1718 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1719 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1720 message to which you are replying.
1721
1722 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1723 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1724 making group replies.
1725
1726 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1727
1728 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1729
1730 * Released nmh-0.19.
1731
1732 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1733 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1734
1735 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1736 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1737 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1738 to the end of the man page.
1739
1740 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1741 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1742 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1743 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1744 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1745 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1746
1747 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1748 pages.
1749
1750 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1751 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1752 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1753
1754 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1755 the next available number above the message number you wish
1756 to preserve.
1757
1758 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1759 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1760
1761 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1762 file sbr/seq_print.c
1763
1764 * flist will now update the current folder.
1765
1766 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1767 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1768 but now undocumented.
1769
1770 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1771 traversing folders.
1772
1773 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1774 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1775
1776 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1777
1778 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1779 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1780
1781 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1782
1783 * Released nmh-0.18.
1784
1785 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1786 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1787 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1788
1789 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1790 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1791
1792 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1793 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1794 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1795 previous public/private status.
1796
1797 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1798 correctly.
1799
1800 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1801 private sequences).
1802
1803 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1804 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1805 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1806
1807 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1808 take option to determine whether it should get current
1809 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1810 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1811
1812 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1813
1814 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1815 wait for stopped processes.
1816
1817 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1818 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1819
1820 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1821
1822 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1823
1824 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1825 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1826
1827 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1828 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1829
1830 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1831 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1832 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1833 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1834
1835 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1836 status allocation).
1837
1838 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1839 the code.
1840
1841 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1842
1843 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1844 the debugging output.
1845
1846 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1847 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1848
1849 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1850
1851 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1852
1853 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1854 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1855
1856 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1857
1858 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1859 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1860 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1861 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1862 in the given sequence.
1863
1864 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1865 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1866 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1867 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1868 subdirectories of a given directory.
1869
1870 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1871 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1872 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1873
1874 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1875 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1876
1877 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1878
1879 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1880 to 0700 (was 0711).
1881
1882 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1883 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1884 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1885
1886 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1887 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1888 are calculated at runtime.
1889
1890 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1891
1892 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1893
1894 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1895 about checking for global mh.profile.
1896
1897 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1898 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1899 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1900 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1901 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1902 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1903
1904 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1905 adding message to folder itself.
1906
1907 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1908 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1909 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1910 instead of exiting.
1911
1912 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1913 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1914 the error EEXIST.
1915
1916 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1917 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1918 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1919
1920 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1921 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1922
1923 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1924 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1925 code to use it yet).
1926
1927 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1928
1929 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1930
1931 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1932 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1933
1934 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1935 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1936
1937 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1938
1939 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1940 to folder_addmsg.c
1941
1942 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1943
1944 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1945
1946 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1947
1948 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1949
1950 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1951 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1952
1953 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1954
1955 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1956
1957 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1958
1959 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1960
1961 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1962

1973 * Released nmh-0.17.
1974
1975 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1976
1977 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1978 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1979
1980 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1981 defined.
1982
1983 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed

1987 number of refiled message.
1988
1989 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.

2001
2002 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2003
2004 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2005 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2006 deal with binary messages, yet).
2007
2008 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2009
2010 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2011
2012 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2013 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2014 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2015 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2016 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2017 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2018
2019 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2020 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2021
2022 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2023 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2029 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2030
2031 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2032

2034 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2035 composition files.
2036
2037 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2038 files.
2039
2040 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2041
2042 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2043 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2044 which used unsigned chars by default.
2045
2046 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2047
2048 * Released nmh-0.15.
2049

2052
2053 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2054
2055 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2056
2057 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2058 return 0.
2059
2060 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2061 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2062 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2063
2064 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2065 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2066
2067 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2068
2069 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2070 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2071
2072 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2073 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2074 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2075 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2076
2077 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2078 and put in own subroutine.
2079
2080 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2081 and put in own subroutine.
2082
2083 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2084 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2085 refile.c to use new routine.

2092 seq_getnum.
2093
2094 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2095 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2096 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2097
2098 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2099 no longer used.
2100
2101 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2102 adding message to sequence.
2103
2104 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2105 corresponding file in sbr.
2106
2107 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2108 file in sbr.
2109
2110 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2111

2113 all selected messages from a sequence.
2114
2115 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2116 selected messages to a sequence.
2117
2118 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2119 and m_seqok.c.

2144
2145 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2146 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2147 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2148 environment variable.
2149
2150 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2151 draft folder facility in nmh.

2158 fmt_addr.c.
2159
2160 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2161 options.
2162

2164
2165 * Released nmh-0.13.
2166
2167 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2168 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2169 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2170 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2171 to MAXARGS).
2172
2173 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2174 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2175
2176 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2177
2178 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2179 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2180
2181 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2182
2183 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2184 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2185
2186 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2187
2188 * Released nmh-0.12.

2193
2194 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2195
2196 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2197 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2198
2199 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2200 mp->attrstats with macros.
2201
2202 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2203 in msh.c instead.
2204
2205 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2206 to hide dd->dd_fd.
2207
2208 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2209 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2210
2211 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2212 will suppress the display of the message header.
2213
2214 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2215
2216 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2218
2219 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2220
2221 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2222
2223 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2224
2225 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2226 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2227
2228 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2229 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2230
2231 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2232
2233 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2234
2235 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2236 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2237
2238 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2239 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2248 by default.
2249
2250 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2251
2252 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2253 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2254
2255 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2256 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2257
2258 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2259 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.

2282 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2283
2284 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2285
2286 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2287 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
2288
2289 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2290
2291 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2292
2293 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2294 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2295
2296 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2297
2298 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2299 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2300
2301 * Released nmh-0.08.
2302
2303 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2304 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2305 locking database itself.
2306
2307 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2308
2309 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2310
2311 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2312 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2313 option.
2314
2315 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2316 rather than mmdf format.
2317
2318 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2319 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2320 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2321 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2322
2323 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2324
2325 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2326
2327 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2328 added to packf.
2329
2330 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2331 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2332 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2333
2334 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2335 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2336 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2337
2338 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2339
2340 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2341 can still easily change this in config.h).
2342
2343 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2344 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2345 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2346
2347 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2348
2349 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2350 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2351

2363 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2364 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2365
2366 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2367 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2368 on SCO 5.x.
2369
2370 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2371 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2372
2373 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2374 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2375
2376 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2377
2378 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2379
2380 * Added configure check for tzset.
2381
2382 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2383
2384 * Released nmh-0.06.
2385
2386 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2387 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2388
2389 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2390 many such machines around anymore.
2391
2392 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2393 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2394
2395 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2396 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2397
2398 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2400 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2401 pre-generated version if necessary.
2402
2403 * Released nmh-0.05.
2404
2405 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2406 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2407 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2408 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2409
2410 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2411 be linked in one pass.
2412
2413 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2414
2415 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2416 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2417
2418 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419
2420 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2421
2422 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2423
2424 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2425 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2426 become the current folder.
2427
2428 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2429
2430 * Released nmh-0.04.
2431

2436
2437 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2438 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2439 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2440
2441 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2442
2443 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2444 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2445
2446 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2447
2448 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2449 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2450 using POP.
2451
2452 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2453 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2454
2455 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2456
2457 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2458 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2459 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2460 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2461 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2462 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)

2464 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2465
2466 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2467 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2468
2469 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2470 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2471
2472 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2473
2474 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2475 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2476
2477 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2478
2479 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2480 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2481 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2482
2483 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2484
2485 * Released nmh-0.03.
2486
2487 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2488 .mh_sequence file existed.
2489
2490 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2491 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2492
2493 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2494 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2495 man page.
2496
2497 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2498
2499 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2500 flist man page.
2501
2502 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2503
2504 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2505 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2506 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2507
2508 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2509
2510 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2511 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2512 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2513
2514 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2515
2516 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2517 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2518
2519 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2520
2521 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2522
2523 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2524 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2525 directory from where the source code is located.
2526
2527 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528
2529 * Released nmh-0.02.

2532
2533 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2534 and rcvtty.
2535
2536 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2537
2538 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2539 and sys_nerr directly.
2540
2541 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2542

2547 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2548
2549 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2550 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2551 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2552 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2553 rather than in script.
2554
2555 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2556
2557 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2558
2559 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2560 macro defined on Solaris.
2561
2562 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563
2564 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2565 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2566
2567 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2568 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2569 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2570 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2571 options if enabled.
2572
2573 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2574
2575 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2576 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2577
2578 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2579 correctly found.
2580
2581 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2582
2583 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2584
2585 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2586 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2587
2588 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2589
2590 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2591 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2592
2593 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2594
2595 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2596 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2597 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2598 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2599 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2600 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2601
2602 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2603
2604 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2605
2606 * Released nmh-0.01.
2607
2608 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2609 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2610 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2611 have POSIX signals.
2612
2613 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2614
2615 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2616 their man pages.
2617
2618 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2619
2620 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2621 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2622
2623 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2624
2625 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2626 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2627 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2628 script to find_program.
2629
2630 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2631
2632 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2633 speed up -recurse option.
2634
2635 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2636 yet, but it compiles :-)
2637
2638 * Changed default location for install to
2639 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2640 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2641 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2642 level Makefile.
2643
2644 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2645 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2646 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
