   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.
+- post(8) -snoop now attempts to decode base64-encoded SMTP traffic.
+- 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.
+- mhfixmsg now replaces RFC 2047 encoding with RFC 2231 encoding of name and
+  filename parameters in Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers,
+  respectively.
+- If a message body contains 8-bit bytes, post(8) uses SMTP 8BITMIME if the
+  server supports it.  If not, post fails with a message to the user to
+  encode the message for 7-bit transport.
+- Added welcome message when nmh detects that its version changed.
+- 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.

 OBSOLETE FEATURES
@@ -31,6 +87,9 @@ 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
@@ -39,3 +98,11 @@ 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.
+- The first character of some very short (less than 4 characters) message
+  bodies is no longer dropped.
+- mhfixmsg now adds a Content-Transfer-Encoding header at the message level,
+  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.
