1 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
3 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
4 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
5 the address of a static array.
7 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
9 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
10 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
12 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
14 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
15 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
16 This allows users to masquerade with the default
17 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
18 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
19 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
22 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
24 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
25 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
26 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
27 ruserpass() has a void return type.
29 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
30 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
31 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
32 provide memmove() substitute implementation
34 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
35 source directory' feature
37 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
38 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
40 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
42 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
43 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
44 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
47 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
49 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
50 is the wrong approach.
52 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
53 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
54 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
57 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
58 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
59 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
60 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
61 broken for continued lines from the server.
63 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
65 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
66 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
68 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
70 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
72 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
75 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
77 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
79 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
81 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
82 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
83 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
84 obsolete feature of autoconf
86 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
88 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
89 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
90 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
92 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
94 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
95 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
97 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
99 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
102 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
104 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
105 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
106 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
107 following done() (should never be reached).
109 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
111 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
112 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
114 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
116 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
117 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
119 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
121 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
122 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
123 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
124 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
125 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
126 acconfig.h if you must.
128 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
130 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
131 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
132 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
133 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
135 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
137 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
140 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
142 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
143 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
144 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
145 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
146 have Content-Disposition.
148 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
150 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
153 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
155 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
156 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
158 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
160 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
161 encoded block is empty
163 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
165 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
166 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
167 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
170 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
172 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
173 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
176 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
178 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
179 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
180 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
181 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
184 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
185 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
187 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
189 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
190 function num_digits into utils.c
192 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
194 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
195 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
196 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
198 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
200 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
201 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
202 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
203 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
204 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
205 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
206 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
207 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
209 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
211 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
212 Content-Disposition header.
214 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
216 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
217 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
218 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
219 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
220 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
221 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
222 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
223 users to easily accomodate that by adding
224 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
226 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
228 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
229 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
231 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
233 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
235 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
236 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
238 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
239 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
241 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
243 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
244 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
245 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
246 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
247 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
250 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
252 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
253 widths, restoring right justification feature
255 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
257 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
258 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
259 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
261 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
264 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
266 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
267 handling multi column characters.
269 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
271 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
273 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
275 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
276 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
279 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
281 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
283 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
285 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
288 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
290 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
293 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
295 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
296 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
297 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
298 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
300 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
302 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
303 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
304 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
305 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
306 where configure's autodetection fails.
308 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
310 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
311 configure script change.
313 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
315 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
316 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
317 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
320 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
322 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
323 the context is only read once.
325 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
327 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
328 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
330 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
332 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
333 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
335 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
336 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
339 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
340 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
343 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
345 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
346 vi isn't found during build.
348 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
350 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
351 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
353 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
354 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
355 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
357 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
359 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
360 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
362 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
363 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
364 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
365 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
368 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
369 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
370 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
372 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
373 entry in the context file.
375 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
377 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
378 problems on some systems
380 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
381 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
383 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
385 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
386 sendmail isn't found during build.
388 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
390 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
392 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
394 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
395 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
397 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
398 references to the web page and mailing list locations
400 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
401 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
403 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
406 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
408 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
409 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
410 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
412 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
413 was configured with --enable-apop.
415 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
416 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
417 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
419 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
420 new versions of flex.
422 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
423 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
424 doesn't guess wrongly.
426 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
428 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
429 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
431 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
432 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
434 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
435 files with numbers as names
437 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
439 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
441 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
443 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
445 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
446 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
448 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
450 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
453 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
454 test/report error writing to stdout
456 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
458 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
460 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
461 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
462 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
464 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
465 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
466 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
468 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
470 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
471 character set used by the current locale
473 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
474 message's filename overflows an int when converted
476 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
477 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
479 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
481 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
484 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
486 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
487 from Michael Richardson.
489 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
490 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
492 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
494 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
495 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
497 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
499 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
500 find sub-parts of the specified part
502 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
504 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
505 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
506 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
507 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
508 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
509 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
510 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
513 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
515 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
516 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
517 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
520 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
521 refiling with -src option.
523 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
525 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
527 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
529 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
530 mailpath being overwritten.
532 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
534 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
535 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
536 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
537 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
538 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
539 reinitializes the tmp file string.
541 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
542 if a format string was read from the profile.
544 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
545 path for the external hook.
547 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
549 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
550 another location for ndbm.
552 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
554 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
556 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
558 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
561 136976 - Handle binary content messages
562 143427 - mh-format.man typo
563 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
564 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
565 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
566 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
567 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
568 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
569 181867 - typo for nmh.man
571 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
573 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
574 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
575 contitional code which will result in cached data to
576 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
577 and parse on the first use.
578 * Remove some unused flag bits.
580 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
582 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
583 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
585 #578 - repl leaks umask
586 #1393 - sortm core dumps
587 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
588 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
589 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
591 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
592 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
594 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
596 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
597 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
599 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
601 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
602 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
603 to docs/README.about.
605 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
607 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
609 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
610 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
611 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
612 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
615 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
617 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
618 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
619 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
620 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
621 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
622 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
625 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
626 summary configure prints out.
628 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
629 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
630 subjectively more readable) format.
632 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
634 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
637 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
639 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
640 19xx when it's not necessary.
642 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
644 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
645 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
648 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
649 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
650 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
651 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
652 the man pages correctly.
654 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
656 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
658 * Finished manpages ali-prev
660 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
661 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
662 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
665 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
666 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
667 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
668 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
670 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
672 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
673 the formatting rules I've been using.
677 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
679 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
680 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
681 used in the manpages.
683 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
684 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
685 read in the contents of the file as the variable
688 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
689 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
690 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
691 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
692 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
693 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
694 bold flags and italicized parameters.
696 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
698 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
699 --with-locking option.
701 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
702 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
703 information was not being communicated to the
704 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
705 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
706 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
707 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
708 undefined symbols problems.
710 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
711 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
712 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
713 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
714 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
715 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
716 for a genuine krb4 installation.
718 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
720 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
721 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
723 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
725 * Made a new ./configure option called
726 "--with-locking" that allows the file
727 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
728 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
730 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
731 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
732 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
733 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
734 the user that these are the valid options, and
735 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
738 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
740 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
741 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
742 committed to supporting flex only, since
743 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
744 string, as well as other problems documented
745 below and on nmh-workers.
747 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
748 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
749 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
752 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
753 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
755 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
757 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
758 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
759 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
761 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
763 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
764 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
766 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
768 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
769 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
770 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
771 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
772 couldn't correctly identify them.
774 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
776 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
777 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
778 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
779 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
780 not depending on an external archive.
782 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
783 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
784 mts/generic is no longer built.
786 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
788 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
789 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
790 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
791 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
792 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
793 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
794 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
795 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
797 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
799 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
800 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
803 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
805 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
806 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
807 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
810 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
811 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
812 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
813 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
815 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
816 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
817 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
818 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
819 merged into the smtp code).
821 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
822 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
823 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
826 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
827 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
828 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
829 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
830 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
831 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
832 in the appropriate Makefile.in
834 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
836 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
837 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
838 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
839 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
840 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
841 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
842 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
843 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
844 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
845 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
846 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
848 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
850 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
851 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
852 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
853 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
854 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
855 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
856 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
857 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
858 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
860 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
862 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
863 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
866 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
868 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
869 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
871 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
873 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
874 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
875 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
876 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
878 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
880 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
881 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
882 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
883 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
884 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
886 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
887 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
889 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
891 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
893 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
894 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
895 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
896 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
898 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
899 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
900 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
901 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
903 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
904 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
905 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
906 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
908 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
909 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
910 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
912 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
914 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
915 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
916 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
917 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
918 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
919 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
922 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
923 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
925 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
926 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
928 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
930 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
932 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
934 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
935 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
936 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
937 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
939 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
941 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
942 be easily changed from "," to "#".
944 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
946 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
948 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
949 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
952 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
954 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
955 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
956 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
957 but not for the subsequent data stream.
959 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
961 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
962 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
963 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
964 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
965 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
967 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
969 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
970 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
972 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
973 cat, also define lorder as echo.
975 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
977 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
979 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
980 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
981 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
983 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
985 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
988 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
989 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
991 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
993 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
994 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
996 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
998 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
999 inc does not need to be setgid.
1001 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1003 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1004 library, as found on Debian systems.
1006 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1008 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1010 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1011 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1012 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1013 case-insensitivity flag.
1015 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1017 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1018 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1020 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1022 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1023 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1024 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1025 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1026 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1027 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1028 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1029 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1030 getting moved aside).
1032 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1033 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1035 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1037 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1038 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1039 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1040 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1041 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1042 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1043 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1044 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1045 the prototype, but never sets it.
1047 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1048 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1049 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1050 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1051 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1052 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1054 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1055 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1056 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1057 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1058 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1060 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1062 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1063 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1066 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1067 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1068 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1069 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1070 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1071 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1072 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1074 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1076 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1078 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1079 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1080 this works on other systems.
1082 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1084 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1085 checks for write failures.
1087 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1089 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1091 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1094 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1096 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1098 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1100 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1101 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1104 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1106 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1107 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1108 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1109 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1111 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1113 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1114 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1117 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1118 as well as Makefiles.
1120 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1122 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1123 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1124 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1125 should make maintainability easier.
1127 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1128 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1129 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1130 whatever you know works.
1132 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1134 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1135 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1136 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1138 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1139 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1140 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1141 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1143 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1144 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1145 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1147 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1148 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1149 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1150 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1151 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1153 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1154 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1155 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1156 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1157 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1158 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1159 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1160 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1161 from the BSD version.
1163 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1164 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1165 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1167 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1168 in ruserpass.c also.
1170 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1173 This happens on solaris:
1176 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1177 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1181 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1183 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1184 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1186 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1188 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1189 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1190 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1191 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1192 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1193 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1194 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1195 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1196 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1197 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1198 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1200 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1201 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1202 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1203 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1204 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1205 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1208 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1209 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1210 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1211 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1212 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1214 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1215 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1217 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1219 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1220 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1221 to stdin, such as exmh.
1223 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1224 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1225 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1228 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1230 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1231 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1232 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1233 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1234 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1235 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1236 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1238 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1240 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1241 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1243 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1245 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1246 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1248 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1250 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1253 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1254 along with any -host or -user option.
1256 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1258 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1260 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1261 process was fresh in my mind.
1263 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1265 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1266 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1268 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1270 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1272 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1275 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1276 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1277 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1278 part of the program's name.
1280 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1281 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1284 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1286 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1287 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1288 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1289 single-character format would cause programs using this
1290 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1291 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1292 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1293 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1296 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1298 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1299 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1300 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1301 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1302 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1303 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1305 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1306 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1307 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1308 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1309 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1310 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1311 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1312 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1314 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1315 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1316 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1317 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1318 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1319 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1320 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1321 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1322 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1323 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1325 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1327 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1328 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1330 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1331 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1333 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1338 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1340 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1341 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1342 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1343 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1345 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1346 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1347 problem in the routine.
1349 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1351 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1352 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1354 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1355 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1356 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1359 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1361 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1362 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1363 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1364 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1365 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1366 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1367 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1368 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1369 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1370 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1372 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1374 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1375 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1376 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1377 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1378 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1379 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1380 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1381 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1382 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1383 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1384 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1385 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1387 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1388 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1389 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1390 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1391 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1393 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1396 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1398 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1399 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1400 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1401 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1404 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1406 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1408 * Applied, after some finessing,
1409 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1411 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1413 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1415 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1416 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1417 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1418 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1420 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1422 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1423 forgetting to do so!).
1425 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1426 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1427 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1428 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1429 arguments to enable all three types.
1431 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1432 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1434 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1435 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1436 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1437 updated copy of mts.conf.
1439 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1441 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1442 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1443 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1445 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1447 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1449 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1450 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1451 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1453 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1454 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1455 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1457 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1458 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1459 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1461 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1463 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1465 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1467 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1469 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1470 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1472 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1473 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1474 certain suffix to run properly.
1476 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1477 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1478 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1480 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1481 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1482 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1483 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1484 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1485 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1486 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1488 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1490 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1491 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1492 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1493 until some year far in the future).
1495 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1497 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1499 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1500 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1502 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1503 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1506 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1508 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1509 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1510 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1511 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1512 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1513 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1515 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1517 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1519 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1520 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1521 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1523 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1524 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1525 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1526 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1527 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1528 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1531 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1532 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1533 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1534 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1535 of masquerading individually.
1537 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1538 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1539 GECOS field delimiters.
1541 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1543 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1544 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1545 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1546 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1547 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1548 and explaining the feature.
1550 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1552 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1553 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1556 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1557 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1558 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1560 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1561 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1562 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1563 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1565 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1566 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1567 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1570 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1572 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1573 code to be executed.
1575 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1577 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1579 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1580 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1581 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1582 quotes embedded in them.

1586 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1587 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1588 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1589 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1590 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1591 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1592 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1595 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1596 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1597 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1598 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1599 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1601 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1603 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1605 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1606 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1607 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1608 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1610 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1613 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1615 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1617 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1619 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1620 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1621 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1623 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1626 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1628 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1629 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1630 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1631 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1632 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1633 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1635 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1636 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1638 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1640 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1643 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1645 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1646 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1647 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1650 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1651 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1652 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1653 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1654 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1655 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1656 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1657 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1658 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1659 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1660 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1661 processing that post has).
1663 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1665 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1666 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1667 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1668 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1669 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1670 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1673 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1675 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1677 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1679 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1681 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1682 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1684 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1687 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1689 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1690 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1691 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1694 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1696 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1697 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1698 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1699 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1700 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1701 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1703 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1705 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1707 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1709 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1710 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1711 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1712 caught again. This works for now.
1714 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1716 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1718 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1719 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1721 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1723 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1724 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1726 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1728 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1730 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1732 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1733 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1735 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1737 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1738 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1739 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1740 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1741 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1744 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1746 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1747 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1748 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1750 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1751 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1754 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1756 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1757 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1758 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1760 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1762 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1763 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1765 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1767 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1770 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1771 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1773 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1774 macros, regardless of platform.
1776 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1777 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1779 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1780 with x-conversions=gzip.
1782 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1784 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1787 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1788 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1789 implicit definition of ioctl().
1791 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1792 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1793 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1794 want to mess with them.
1796 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1798 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1799 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1801 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1802 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1804 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1805 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1806 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1808 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1809 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1810 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1812 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1813 function initgroups.
1815 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1818 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1819 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1822 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1823 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1826 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1827 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1831 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1833 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1834 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1835 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1837 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1838 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1840 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1842 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1844 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1845 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1846 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1847 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1849 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1850 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1852 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1854 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1856 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1858 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1859 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1861 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1863 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1864 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1866 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1867 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1868 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1869 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1871 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1872 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1874 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1876 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1877 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1879 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1881 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1882 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1885 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1887 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1889 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1891 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1892 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1894 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1895 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1896 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1898 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1899 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1900 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1902 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1903 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1904 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1906 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1907 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1910 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1911 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1913 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1914 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1916 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1917 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1919 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1920 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1921 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1923 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1924 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1926 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1927 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1928 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1930 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1931 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1934 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1935 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1937 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1938 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1939 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1940 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1942 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1943 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1945 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1949 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1950 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1951 would not be changed.
1953 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1954 one from the Apache web server.
1956 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1957 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1959 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1960 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1961 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1963 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1965 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1967 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1968 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1971 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1972 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1973 removes a bad race condition.
1975 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1978 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1979 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1980 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1982 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1983 sequence information.
1985 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1986 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1988 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1991 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1994 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1996 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1997 interpret 034 as octal.
1999 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2001 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2002 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2004 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2005 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2007 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2008 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2010 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2011 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2013 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2014 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2016 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2017 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2018 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2020 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2021 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2022 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2024 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2026 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2028 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2029 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2032 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2034 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2035 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2037 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2038 header field information.
2040 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2041 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2043 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2044 values when parsing a content.
2046 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2047 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2049 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2050 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2052 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2053 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2055 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2056 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2058 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2060 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2062 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2064 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2066 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2067 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2070 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2071 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2073 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2074 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2075 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2076 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2077 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2078 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2081 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2083 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2084 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2085 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2087 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2088 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2090 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2092 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2093 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2094 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2095 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2097 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2098 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2101 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2102 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2103 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2104 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2107 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2109 * Released nmh-0.27.
2111 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2112 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2114 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2115 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2116 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2117 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2120 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2121 mhbuild returns an error.
2123 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2124 rename the draft file.
2126 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2127 use a global variable.
2129 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2130 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2132 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2133 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2135 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2136 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2137 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2139 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2140 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2142 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2143 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2146 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2147 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2150 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2151 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2153 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2154 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2155 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2157 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2158 to new function output_content_folder.
2160 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2161 new function output_content_file.
2163 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2164 to new function parse_format_string.
2166 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2167 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2168 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2169 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2171 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2172 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2173 message/external file from ftp.
2175 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2176 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2177 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2179 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2180 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2183 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2186 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2187 new file mhstoresbr.c
2189 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2192 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2193 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2195 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2196 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2198 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2199 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2200 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2202 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2204 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2206 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2207 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2210 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2211 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2213 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2216 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2218 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2220 * Released nmh-0.26.
2222 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2223 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2224 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2225 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2227 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2228 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2229 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2230 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2231 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2233 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2234 But it is not on by default.
2236 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2237 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2239 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2241 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2243 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2245 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2247 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2248 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2250 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2252 * Released nmh-0.25.
2254 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2255 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2256 uses the original name of the library.
2258 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2259 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2262 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2263 list_content and list_debug.
2265 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2267 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2268 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2270 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2272 * Released nmh-0.24.
2274 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2276 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2277 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2279 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2280 large sequence line.
2282 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2284 * Released nmh-0.23.
2286 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2288 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2289 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2290 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2291 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2293 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2294 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2297 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2299 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2301 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2303 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2304 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2306 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2307 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2309 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2310 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2312 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2313 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2315 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2317 * Released nmh-0.22.
2319 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2320 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2322 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2324 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2325 mh-profile(5) man page.
2327 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2328 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2330 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2332 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2334 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2335 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2337 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2339 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2340 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2341 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2343 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2344 source message on the standard input.
2346 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2348 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2349 rather than -rfc934mode.
2351 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2352 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2355 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2356 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2358 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2361 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2363 * Released nmh-0.21.
2365 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2366 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2368 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2371 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2372 to use for text contents.
2374 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2376 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2380 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2382 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2383 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2385 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2386 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2387 spaces between encoded word are.
2389 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2391 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2392 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2394 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2395 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2396 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2398 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2400 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2401 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2403 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2405 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2407 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2408 ISO-8859-X character set.
2410 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2413 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2414 permissions, not write permissions.
2416 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2417 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2419 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2422 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2424 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2426 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2427 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2429 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2430 message contains valid character set.
2432 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2433 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2435 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2436 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2438 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2439 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2440 between an encoded word and normal text.
2442 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2443 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2445 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2446 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2448 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2451 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2452 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2455 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2456 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2458 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2459 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2461 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2463 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2465 * Released nmh-0.20.
2467 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2469 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2471 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2472 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2473 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2475 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2476 and the To: line was missing.
2478 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2480 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2482 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2484 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2485 watch the POP transaction.
2487 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2488 first, and use it if available.
2490 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2491 first, and use it if available.
2493 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2495 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2497 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2498 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2499 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2502 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2503 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2504 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2506 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2507 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2510 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2512 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2513 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2515 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2517 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2518 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2520 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2521 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2522 message to which you are replying.
2524 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2525 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2526 making group replies.
2528 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2530 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532 * Released nmh-0.19.
2534 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2535 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2537 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2538 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2539 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2540 to the end of the man page.
2542 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2543 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2544 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2545 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2546 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2547 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2549 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2552 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2553 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2554 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2556 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2557 the next available number above the message number you wish
2560 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2561 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2563 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2564 file sbr/seq_print.c
2566 * flist will now update the current folder.
2568 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2569 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2570 but now undocumented.
2572 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2575 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2576 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2578 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2580 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2581 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2583 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2585 * Released nmh-0.18.
2587 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2588 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2589 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2591 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2592 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2594 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2595 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2596 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2597 previous public/private status.
2599 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2602 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2605 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2606 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2607 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2609 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2610 take option to determine whether it should get current
2611 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2612 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2614 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2616 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2617 wait for stopped processes.
2619 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2620 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2622 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2624 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2626 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2627 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2629 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2630 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2632 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2633 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2634 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2635 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2637 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2640 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2643 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2645 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2646 the debugging output.
2648 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2649 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2651 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2655 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2656 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2658 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2660 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2661 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2662 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2663 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2664 in the given sequence.
2666 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2667 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2668 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2669 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2670 subdirectories of a given directory.
2672 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2673 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2674 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2676 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2677 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2679 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2681 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2684 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2685 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2686 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2688 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2689 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2690 are calculated at runtime.
2692 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2694 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2696 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2697 about checking for global mh.profile.
2699 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2700 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2701 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2702 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2703 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2704 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2706 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2707 adding message to folder itself.
2709 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2710 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2711 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2714 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2715 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2718 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2719 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2720 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2722 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2723 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2725 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2726 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2727 code to use it yet).
2729 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2731 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2733 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2734 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2736 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2737 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2739 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2741 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2744 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2748 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2750 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2752 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2753 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2755 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2757 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2759 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2761 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2763 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2765 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2766 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2768 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2769 configuration files.
2771 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2773 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2775 * Released nmh-0.17.
2777 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2779 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2780 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2782 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2785 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2786 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2788 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2789 number of refiled message.
2791 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2793 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2794 for return value of wait().
2796 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2798 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2800 * Released nmh-0.16.
2802 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2806 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2807 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2808 deal with binary messages, yet).
2810 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2812 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2814 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2815 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2816 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2817 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2818 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2819 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2821 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2822 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2824 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2825 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2827 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2828 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2831 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2833 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2835 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2836 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2839 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2842 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2844 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2845 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2846 which used unsigned chars by default.
2848 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2850 * Released nmh-0.15.
2852 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2857 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2859 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2862 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2863 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2864 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2866 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2867 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2869 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2871 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2872 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2874 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2875 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2876 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2877 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2879 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2880 and put in own subroutine.
2882 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2883 and put in own subroutine.
2885 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2886 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2887 refile.c to use new routine.

2891 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2893 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2896 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2897 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2898 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2900 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2903 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2907 corresponding file in sbr.
2909 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2912 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2914 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2915 all selected messages from a sequence.
2917 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2918 selected messages to a sequence.
2920 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2923 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2925 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2926 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2928 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2930 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2949 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2950 environment variable.
2952 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2953 draft folder facility in nmh.
2955 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2967 * Released nmh-0.13.
2969 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2970 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2971 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2972 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2975 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2976 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2978 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2980 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2981 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2983 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2985 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3010 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3011 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3013 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3014 will suppress the display of the message header.
3016 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3018 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3019 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3021 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3023 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3025 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3027 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3028 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3030 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3031 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3033 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3035 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3037 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3038 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3040 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3041 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3043 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3045 * Released nmh-0.10.

3055 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3057 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3058 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3060 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3061 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3063 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3065 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3066 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3068 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3070 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3098 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3100 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3101 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3103 * Released nmh-0.08.
3105 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3106 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3107 locking database itself.
3109 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3111 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3113 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3114 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3117 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3118 rather than mmdf format.
3120 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3121 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3122 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3123 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3125 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3127 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3129 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3132 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3133 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3134 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3136 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3137 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3138 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3140 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3142 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3143 can still easily change this in config.h).
3145 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3146 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3147 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3149 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3151 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3165 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3166 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3168 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3169 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3172 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3173 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3175 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3176 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3178 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.

3186 * Released nmh-0.06.
3188 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3189 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3191 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3192 many such machines around anymore.
3194 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3195 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3197 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3198 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3200 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3202 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3203 pre-generated version if necessary.
3205 * Released nmh-0.05.
3207 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3208 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3209 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3210 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3212 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3213 be linked in one pass.
3215 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3217 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3218 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3220 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3222 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3224 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3226 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3227 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3228 become the current folder.
3230 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3232 * Released nmh-0.04.

3237 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3239 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3240 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3241 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3243 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3245 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3246 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3248 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3250 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3251 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3254 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3255 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3257 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3259 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3260 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3261 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3262 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3263 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3264 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3266 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3268 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3269 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3271 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3272 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3274 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3276 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3277 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3279 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3281 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3282 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3283 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3285 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3287 * Released nmh-0.03.
3289 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3290 .mh_sequence file existed.
3292 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3293 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3295 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3296 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3299 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3301 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3304 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3306 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3307 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3308 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3310 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3312 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3313 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3314 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3316 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3318 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3319 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3321 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3323 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3325 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3326 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3327 directory from where the source code is located.
3329 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3331 * Released nmh-0.02.

3345 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3347 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3349 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3351 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3352 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3353 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3354 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3355 rather than in script.
3357 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3359 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3361 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3362 macro defined on Solaris.

3366 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3367 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3369 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3370 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3371 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3372 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3375 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3377 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3378 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3380 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3383 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3385 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3387 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3388 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3390 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3392 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3393 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3395 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3397 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3398 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3399 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3400 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3401 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3402 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.

3406 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3408 * Released nmh-0.01.
3410 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3411 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3412 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't

3427 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3428 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3429 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit

3434 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3435 speed up -recurse option.
3437 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3438 yet, but it compiles :-)
3440 * Changed default location for install to
3441 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3442 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3443 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3446 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3447 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3448 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
