 ------------
 NEW FEATURES
 ------------
+
+- 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 $PATH.
+- Added getmymbox and getmyaddr mh-format(5) function escapes.
+- New -[no]changecur, -fixtype, -decodetypes, and -[no]crlflinebreaks switches
+  have been added to mhfixmsg(1).
+- mhfixmsg now removes an extraneous trailing semicolon from header
+  parameter lists.
+- Added -convertargs switch to repl(1), to pass arguments to programs
+  specified in the user's profile or mhn.defaults to convert message
+  content.
+- Added mhical(1), to display, reply to, and cancel iCalendar (RFC 5545)
+  event requests.
+- added multiply format function
+- "mhparam bindir" prints the path to the directory containing the public
+  executables (${bindir}).
+- new "-prefer" switch for mhshow (and mhlist and mhshow), to allow specifying
+  the preferred content types to show, if present in a multipart alternative.
+- mh-format now has %(kilo) and %(kibi) functions, to allow printing
+  numbers as, for example, "10K", or "2.3Mi"
+- Support for the -sendmail flag to send/post to change the sendmail
+  binary when using the sendmail/pipe MTS.
+- Added support to send(1) to specify switches to post(1) based on address or
+  domain name in From: header line in message draft.
+
 -----------------
 OBSOLETE FEATURES
 -----------------
 
-- The undocumented -queue switch to post was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and
+- 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.
+- Support in alias files for the the "*" address-group (everyone) was
+  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
 ---------
+
+- 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.
