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

1990 * Released nmh-0.17.
1991
1992 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1993
1994 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead

1996
1997 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not

2018
2019 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2020
2021 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2022 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2023 deal with binary messages, yet).
2024

2026
2027 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2028
2029 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2030 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2031 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2032 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2033 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2034 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2035
2036 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2037 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2038
2039 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".

2052 composition files.
2053
2054 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2055 files.
2056
2057 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2058
2059 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2060 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2061 which used unsigned chars by default.
2062
2063 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2064
2065 * Released nmh-0.15.

2073
2074 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2075 return 0.

2078 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2079 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2080
2081 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2082 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2083
2084 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2085
2086 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2087 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2088
2089 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2090 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2091 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2092 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2093
2094 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2095 and put in own subroutine.
2096
2097 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2098 and put in own subroutine.
2099
2100 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own

2112 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2113 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2114
2115 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2116 no longer used.
2117
2118 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2119 adding message to sequence.
2120
2121 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2122 corresponding file in sbr.

2131
2132 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2133 selected messages to a sequence.
2134

2161
2162 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2163 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2164 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2165 environment variable.
2166
2167 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2168 draft folder facility in nmh.

2175 fmt_addr.c.
2176
2177 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2178 options.
2179

2181
2182 * Released nmh-0.13.
2183
2184 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2185 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2186 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2187 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2188 to MAXARGS).
2189
2190 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2191 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2192
2193 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2194
2195 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2196 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2197
2198 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2199
2200 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2211 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2212
2213 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2214 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2215
2216 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2217 mp->attrstats with macros.
2218
2219 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2220 in msh.c instead.
2221
2222 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2223 to hide dd->dd_fd.
2224
2225 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2226 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2227
2228 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null

2230
2231 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2232
2233 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2235
2236 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2237
2238 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2239
2240 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2241
2242 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2243 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2244
2245 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2246 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2247
2248 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2249
2250 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2251
2252 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2253 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2254
2255 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2256 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2266
2267 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2268
2269 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2270 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2271
2272 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2273 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2274
2275 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2276 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2277
2278 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2279
2280 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2281 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2282
2283 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2284
2285 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2286 of missing tabs in regex.

2299 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2300
2301 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2302
2303 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2304 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
2305
2306 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2307
2308 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2309
2310 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2311 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2312
2313 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2314
2315 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2316 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2317
2318 * Released nmh-0.08.
2319
2320 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2321 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2322 locking database itself.
2323
2324 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2325
2326 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2327
2328 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2329 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2330 option.
2331
2332 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2333 rather than mmdf format.
2334
2335 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2336 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2337 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2338 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2339
2340 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2341
2342 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2343
2344 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2345 added to packf.
2346
2347 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2348 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2349 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2350
2351 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2352 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2353 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2354
2355 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2356
2357 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2358 can still easily change this in config.h).
2359
2360 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2361 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2362 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2363
2364 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2365
2366 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2367 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2380 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2381 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2382
2383 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2384 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2385 on SCO 5.x.
2386
2387 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2388 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2389
2390 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2391 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2392
2393 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2394
2395 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2396
2397 * Added configure check for tzset.

2400
2401 * Released nmh-0.06.
2402
2403 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2404 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2405
2406 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2407 many such machines around anymore.
2408
2409 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2410 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2411
2412 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2413 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2414
2415 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2417 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2418 pre-generated version if necessary.
2419
2420 * Released nmh-0.05.
2421
2422 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2423 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2424 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2425 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2426
2427 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2428 be linked in one pass.
2429
2430 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2431
2432 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2433 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2434
2435 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2436
2437 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.

2439 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2440
2441 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2442 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2443 become the current folder.
2444
2445 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2446
2447 * Released nmh-0.04.

2453
2454 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2455 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2456 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2457
2458 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2459
2460 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2461 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2462
2463 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2464
2465 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2466 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2467 using POP.
2468
2469 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2470 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2471
2472 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2473
2474 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2475 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2476 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2477 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2478 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2479 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2480
2481 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2482
2483 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2484 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2485
2486 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2487 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2488
2489 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2490
2491 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2492 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2493
2494 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2495
2496 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2497 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2498 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2499
2500 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2501
2502 * Released nmh-0.03.
2503
2504 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2505 .mh_sequence file existed.
2506
2507 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2508 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2509
2510 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2511 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2512 man page.
2513
2514 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2515
2516 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2517 flist man page.
2518
2519 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2520
2521 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2522 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2523 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2524
2525 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2526
2527 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2528 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2529 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2530
2531 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532
2533 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2534 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2535
2536 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2537
2538 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2539
2540 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2541 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2542 directory from where the source code is located.
2543
2544 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2545
2546 * Released nmh-0.02.
2547
2548 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2549
2550 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2551 and rcvtty.
2552
2553 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2554
2555 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2556 and sys_nerr directly.
2557
2558 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2559
2560 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2561

2563
2564 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2565
2566 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2567 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2568 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2569 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2570 rather than in script.
2571
2572 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2573
2574 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2575
2576 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2577 macro defined on Solaris.
2578
2579 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2580
2581 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2582 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2583
2584 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2585 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2586 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2587 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2588 options if enabled.
2589
2590 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2591
2592 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2593 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2594
2595 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2596 correctly found.
2597
2598 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2599
2600 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2601
2602 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2603 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2604
2605 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2606
2607 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2608 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2609
2610 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2611
2612 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2613 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2614 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2615 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2616 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2617 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2618
2619 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2620
2621 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2622
2623 * Released nmh-0.01.
2624
2625 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2626 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2627 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2628 have POSIX signals.
2629
2630 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2631
2632 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2633 their man pages.
2634
2635 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2636
2637 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2638 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2639
2640 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2641
2642 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2643 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2644 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2645 script to find_program.
2646
2647 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2648
2649 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2650 speed up -recurse option.
2651
2652 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2653 yet, but it compiles :-)
2654
2655 * Changed default location for install to
2656 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2657 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2658 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2659 level Makefile.
2660
2661 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2662 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2663 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
