-- 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.

-OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES
-----------------------------
-
-- 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- SMTP XQUE verb, which is obsolete according to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 in
- etc/mts.conf, which in turn can be configured using
- --with-mts=sendmail/pipe. 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 mts: pipe. spost is deprecated and will be
- removed from the next release.
+- 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 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
+-------------------
+
+- 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.
