- 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
+- The default locations for configuration files and support 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
- folder(1) -nocreate now prints a warning message for a non-existent folder.
- mhfixmsg(1) now allows -decodetext binary, though 8bit is still the default.
- inc(1) and msgchk(1) now support TLS encryption natively.
+- All TLS connections now perform certificate validation (including hostname
+ matching) by default; can be disabled on a per-application basis.
- Support for SMTPUTF8 (RFC 6531) has been added. mhshow(1) already supported
RFC 6532, assuming all 8-bit message header field bodies are UTF-8 and use
of a UTF-8 locale.
- Fewer lseek(2)s will be used when reading headers in the common case.
- Single-character headers can be reliably formatted, etc., instead of
apparently being missing.
+- ./configure's --enable-debug has been removed; it did nothing.
+- configure now defaults to enabling each of TLS and Cyrus SASL if the
+ necessary headers and libraries are found.
+- Moved build_nmh to top-level directory.
+- Better error reporting for connections to network services
-----------------
OBSOLETE FEATURES
- 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.
+- Support for multiple hostnames in the "servers" entry of mts.conf has
+ been removed.
+- Support in alias files for expanding aliases based on group membership
+ (=) and primary group (+) has been removed.
-------------------
DEPRECATED FEATURES
if needed after decoding text parts.
- mhbuild now checks whether all text parts need a Content-Transfer-Encoding
header, not just those with a character set not specified.
+- mhbuild no longer parses lines that start with # as directives with
+ -nodirectives.
+- repl now makes sure that any Fcc header in a replied-to message is not
+ copied into the outgoing draft by default, and that the -fcc switch
+ actually works in the absence of a Fcc header in the replied-to message.
+- A Content-ID is generated for message/external-body entities as required
+ by RFC 2045, even if -nocontentid is supplied to mhbuild.
