-- Switched to buffered output when performing TLS encryption in the SMTP
- MTA to increase performance.
-- mh-e support has been changed so that it is always compiled into nmh;
- old features that were previously enabled by the MHE option have been
- garbage collected.
-- Old code enabled by the UCI preprocessor definition has been
- garbage-collected.
-- LOCKDIR is now configurable via --enable-lockdir
-- All configuration options that were formerly only adjustable via editing
- config.h have been removed.
-- Support for the built-in ftp client (used when dealing with external body
- message parts in MIME messages) has been removed.
-- fileproc and mhlproc mh-profile entries will now be obeyed by
- send, rcvdist, and whatnow.
-- New mh-format(5) instructions have been implemented: %(putlit),
- %(concataddr), %(myhost), %(myname)
-- The --enable-pop configure option has been removed; POP support is now
- compiled in always.
-- You can now filter the body of a message through a user-defined filter
- program inside of repl (the idea is that it will be used by repl).
- See mhl(1), specifically the "format" keyword and "formatproc" in
- mh-profile(5).
-- The test suite has been integrated into the Makefile via "make check".
-- The following environment variables are obsolete/deprecated. Support for
- them will be removed from the next nmh release:
+------------
+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 -outfile switch to mhstore(1).
+- Added -noall/-all switches to sortm(1). sortm -noall requires
+ a messages argument.
+- $PAGER overrides the compiled-in default pager command.
+- Added etc/scan.highlighted format file, as an example of how to
+ highlight/colorize the output of scan(1).
+- inc(1) now supports a -port switch to specify the port used by the
+ POP server.
+- pick(1) now decodes MIME-encoded header fields before searching.
+- The VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables are now supported as fallbacks
+ if the user does not configure an editor entry in their profile.
+- The format engine (mh_format(5)) now properly accounts for multibyte
+ characters when accounting for column widths.
+- burst(1) now can burst MIME-formatted digests (messages that contain
+ message/rfc822 parts instead of messages formatted with RFC 934).
+- All proc entries (showproc, moreproc, etc) can now accept entries that
+ contain spaces and shell metacharacters. If found, such entries will
+ either be space-splitted or processed by /bin/sh.
+- A new program, fmttest(1) is included to help debug format files
+- mhshow/mhstore now have support for RFC-2017 (access-type=url) for
+ external message bodies.
+- Added -retainsequences switch to refile(1).
+- A new program, mhfixmsg(1), is included to rewrite MIME messages with
+ various transformations.
+- Added -[no]rmmproc switches to rmm(1).
+- Added support for Content-Disposition header (RFC 2183) to mhstore(1)
+ and mhn(1) when used with -auto.
+- All nmh commands now support transactional locking for sequence files.
+- There is no longer a per-folder maximum number of sequences.
+- For the SMTP MTA TLS can now be negotiated at the beginning of the
+ connection with the -initialtls switch.
+- Messages can now be selected using a relative offset from some other
+ message, or from the start or end of a sequence. See mh-sequences(5).
+- The -changecur and -nochangecur switches have been added to mhlist(1).
+- mhbuild(1) can now encode 8-bit message headers using RFC-2047 encoding
+ rules.
+- The whatnow(1) attach feature will determine the content type of an
+ attachment using a program such as file --mime-type, if available at
+ configuration time. If not, it will use mhshow-suffix- entries as
+ before. The -v switch to attach causes it to display the mhbuild
+ directive that send(1) will use.
+- mhbuild(1) now supports the -auto/-noauto flags (to be used by send(1)
+ when invoking mhbuild automatically).
+- mhbuild(1) now is automatically run by send, to insure that all outgoing
+ messages have proper MIME formatting.
+- A new header, "Attach", is supported by mhbuild; it is used to replace
+ previous functionality (which by default used a header named
+ Nmh-Attachment).
+- The default Content-Transfer-Encoding for text parts is now 8bit.
+- mhbuild(1) now supports a selectable Content-Transfer-Encoding
+- If nmh was configured with iconv(3) support, mhshow will convert, if
+ necessary, the charset of text/plain content to match the user's
+ locale setting.
+- Added support for %{charset} display string escape to mhshow(1).
+- The MIME parsing and generating routines now support RFC 2231 extended
+ parameter information.
+- mh-mime(7) now provides an introduction to nmh's MIME handling.
+- mhshow(1) will now by default display all text content under one pager,
+ and display markers for non-text and non-inline content. The content
+ markers are changeable via mh-format(5).
+
+-----------------
+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:
