   1 Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
   2
   3 ------------
   4 NEW FEATURES
   5 ------------
   6
   7 - The default editor has been changed from 'vi' to 'prompter', to align with
   8   historical practice and reduce packaging dependencies on external programs.
   9 - A new -checkbase64 switch to mhfixmsg(1).
  10 - inc(1)/msgchk(1) now support STARTTLS for the POP protocol.
  11
  12 -----------------
  13 OBSOLETE FEATURES
  14 -----------------
  15
  16 - The MIME content cache functionality has been mostly non-functional since
  17   the development on nmh, and consequently all of the content caching code
  18   and related switches (-cache/-rcache/-wcache) have been removed.
  19 - Support for generating and reassembling message/partial messags has been
  20   removed; it seems that this has been broken since 1.5 and there is very
  21   little support across MUAs.
  22
  23 -------------------
  24 DEPRECATED FEATURES
  25 -------------------
  26
  27 - The generation and verification of Content-MD5 headers is no longer
  28   performed.  The -check and -nocheck switches to various nmh programs
  29   that would control this functionality still exist, but are non-functional
  30   and will be removed in the next release.
  31
  32 ---------
  33 BUG FIXES
  34 ---------
  35
  36 - Fixed bcc to work with sendmail/pipe, and better documented that dcc
  37   doesn't work with it [Bug 55700].
  38 - An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one
  39   (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox.
  40 - Fixed inc(1) and %(me) function escape to not obey Local-Mailbox profile
  41   component.
