 NEW FEATURES

 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 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.
+- All TLS-supported protocols now will send the SNI (server name indicator)
+  TLS extension.
+- A new mh-format function %(ordinal) has been implemented to output the
+  appropriate ordinal suffix for numbers.  Example: "%(num 22)%(ordinal)"
+  will output "22nd".
+- show and mhl now decode more addresses in header fields.
+- Added warning from all programs that read the profile if the profile
+  contains a post entry, which is ignored, but does not contain a
+  postproc entry.  In other words, if you get this warning and want
+  to suppress it, your options include:
+  1) Remove your post profile entry.
+  2) Make your post profile entry a comment by prepending it with the #:
+     comment indicator.
+  3) Add a postproc entry that points to the post that you use.  That can
+     be viewed with "mhparam postproc".

 OBSOLETE FEATURES

 -----------------
 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.
+- 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.
+- Fixed bcc to work with sendmail/pipe, and better documented that dcc
+  doesn't work with it [Bug 55700].
+- An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one
+  (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox.
+- Fixed inc(1) and %(me) function escape to not obey Local-Mailbox profile
+  component.
+- Fixed source charset in mhfixmsg textcharset verbose output.
+- Fixed file descriptor leak in mhfixmsg when run on multiple input files.
