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.
+- 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 locations for configuration files and suppoooort 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
+ ${sysconfdir} and merge any local customizations into the new files in
+ ${sysconfdir}/nmh, then remove the old files. ${libdir} will also contain
+ obsolete support programs that should be removed.
+- When building from source, configure will derive ${prefix} from an existing
+ nmh installation if it finds one in your $PATH.

-OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES
-----------------------------
+-----------------
+OBSOLETE 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 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.

+ deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release.
+
+-------------------
+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.
+- With the move of support binaries from ${libdir} to ${libexecdir}/nmh, the
+ mostly undocumented 'libdir' mhparam(1) component has been replaced by a
+ new 'libexecdir' component. 'libdir' will be removed in a future 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 -nocc me doesn't account for Alternate-Mailboxes [Bug #36635].
-- Propagate Mail-Followup-To [Bug #5571].
+- 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.
