NEW FEATURES
------------
-- All nmh programs will now warn about multiple profile entries for
- the same non-null, non-comment component. In previous versions, all
- but the first were silently ignored.
-- mhmail now supports all post(8) options, or optionally can use
- send(1) with all of its options. Its formerly undocumented -resent
- switch has been documented. And it has new -attach, -headerfield,
- and -send/-nosend switches.
-- Default to flock() locking on OpenBSD and Darwin.
-- Added -directives support to mhbuild(1) to control whether or not
- mhbuild will honor MIME directives by default. And added support
- for special #on/#off/#pop directives to control the MIME directive
- processing state.
-- Added -messageid switch to send(1) and post(8). This allows
- selection of the style to use for generated Message-ID and
- Content-ID header fields. The default localname style is
- pid.time@localname, where time is in seconds, and matches previous
- behavior. The random style replaces the localname with some
- (pseudo)random bytes and uses microsecond-resolution time.
-- Added -clobber switch to mhstore(1) to control overwriting of
- existing files.
-- Added -noall/-all switches to sortm(1). sortm -noall requires
- a messages argument.
+- 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".
+- scan(1) -file argument can be a Maildir directory.

+OBSOLETE FEATURES
+-----------------
-----------------------------
-OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES
-----------------------------
+- 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.
-- Changed exit status of each nmh command's -version and -help
- switches from 1 to 0.
-- The following environment variables were deprecated in nmh 1.5
- and removed from this release:
- MHPOPDEBUG (use -snoop command line switch instead)
- MM_NOASK (use -nolist and -nopause command line switches instead)
- NOMHNPROC (use -nocheckmime command line switch instead)
- FACEPROC (undocumented faceproc feature removed)
-- Changed repl and dist default to -noatfile. The default of -atfile
- was deprecated in nmh 1.5. If there are no requests to maintain
- -atfile, it will be removed in the future.
-- The undocumented -queue switch to mhmail has been removed.
-- The undocumented -queue switch to post is deprecated/obsolete
- and will be removed in the next release. It supports the
- SMTP XQUE verb, which is obsolete according to
- http://smtpfilter.sourceforge.net/esmtp.html
-- conflict(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
-- mhtest(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
-- spost(8) has been merged into post(8). Its functionality is enabled
- by selecting the sendmail/pipe mail transport method, described in
- the mh-tailor(5) man page. The spost -noalias, -backup/-nobackup,
- -push/-nopush, and -remove/-noremove switches are not supported by
- post. Note that spost did not support -whom or Dcc, and neither
- does post when using sendmail/pipe. And spost would expand blind
- aliases and send them in the message; post with sendmail/pipe
- refuses to do that. For backward compatibility, spost has been
- replaced by a simple shell script that exec's post -mts
- sendmail/pipe.
+-------------------
+DEPRECATED FEATURES
+-------------------
+
+- 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
---------
-- Replaced utilities that operate on pbm files with those that operate
- on pnm files in etc/mhn.defaults [Bug #15152].
-- Removed obsolete BUGS section at end of rcvstore(1) man page [Bug #4361].

+- 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.
