are some significant changes to nmh behavior. Otherwise, please see the
README and INSTALL files for help on getting started with nmh.
+---------------
+NOTABLE CHANGES
+---------------
+
+The largest notable changes in the 1.7 release are:
+
+- Complete unification of network security support. All network protocols
+ (currently, POP and SMTP) have been refactored to use a common set of
+ security routines. This means all protocols support all SASL mechanisms
+ (via the Cyrus-SASL library) and TLS. TLS support has been strengthened
+ to perform certificate name validation and to require TLS 1.1 as a
+ minimum protocol. Also, all protocols can make use of the OAuth2/XOAUTH
+ SASL mechanism, which is supported by gmail.
+- send(1) now supports adding switches to post(8) based on the address or
+ domain of the email address in the From: header; this more easily allows
+ users to support multiple identities.
+- A generic facility for passing arguments to filter programs in repl(1)
+ by use of the -convertargs switch.
+- Native support for the manipulation of iCalendar requests; see mhical(1)
+ for more details.
