NEW FEATURES
------------
-- builds use OpenSSL if available.
-- post now defaults to port 587 on 'smtp' message submission.
-- A value of 0 for the width switch of scan(1), inc(1), ap(1), dp(1),
- fmttest(1), and mhl(1) now means as many characters as the format
- engine can produce [Bug #15274]. That amount is limited by internal
- buffers.
-- If a component has trailing whitespace, e.g., body:component="> ",
- mhl now trims that whitespace off when filtering blank text lines.
-- An "rtrim" flag has been added to mhl to remove any trailing
- whitespace from filtered text lines. A corresponding "nortrim" flag
- has also been added.
-- The default locations for configuration files and suppoooort binaries
- have been changed. Configuration files now install into ${sysconfdir}/nmh,
- and support binaries are placed in ${libexecdir}/nmh. If you are upgrading
- an existing installation you should look for old configuration files in
- ${sysconfdir} and merge any local customizations into the new files in
- ${sysconfdir}/nmh, then remove the old files. ${libdir} will also contain
- obsolete support programs that should be removed.
-- When building from source, configure will derive ${prefix} from an existing
- nmh installation if it finds one in your $PATH.
-- Added getmymbox and getmyaddr mh-format(5) function escapes.
-- New -changecur, -nochangecur, and -fixtype switches have been added
- to mhfixmsg(1).
-- mhfixmsg now removes an extraneous trailing semicolon from header
- parameter lists.
+- The default editor has been changed from 'vi' to 'prompter', to align with
+ historical practice and reduce packaging dependencies on external programs.
+- A new -checkbase64 switch to mhfixmsg(1).
+- inc(1)/msgchk(1) now support STARTTLS for the POP protocol.
-----------------
OBSOLETE FEATURES
-----------------
-- The undocumented -queue switch to post was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was
- removed in this release.
-- conflict(8) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
-- mhtest(8) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
-- msh(1) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
-- Support in alias files for the the "*" address-group (everyone) was
- deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
+- The MIME content cache functionality has been mostly non-functional since
+ the development on nmh, and consequently all of the content caching code
+ and related switches (-cache/-rcache/-wcache) have been removed.
+- Support for generating and reassembling message/partial messags has been
+ removed; it seems that this has been broken since 1.5 and there is very
+ little support across MUAs.
-------------------
DEPRECATED FEATURES
-------------------
-- Support for the MHPDEBUG environment variable is deprecated and will be
- removed from a future nmh release. Instead, use the -debug switch to pick.
-- With the move of support binaries from ${libdir} to ${libexecdir}/nmh, the
- mostly undocumented 'libdir' mhparam(1) component has been replaced by a
- new 'libexecdir' component. 'libdir' will be removed in a future release.
+- The generation and verification of Content-MD5 headers is no longer
+ performed. The -check and -nocheck switches to various nmh programs
+ that would control this functionality still exist, but are non-functional
+ and will be removed in the next release.
---------
BUG FIXES
---------
-- The format scanner no longer subtracts 1 from the width. This has the
- effect of no longer counting the trailing newline in the output of
- scan(1), inc(1), and the other programs that rely on the format scanner.
+- An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one
+ (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox.
