1 Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
7 - All nmh programs will now warn about multiple profile entries for
8 the same non-null, non-comment component. In previous versions, all
9 but the first were silently ignored.
10 - mhmail now supports all post(8) options, or optionally can use
11 send(1) with all of its options. Its formerly undocumented -resent
12 switch has been documented. And it has new -attach, -headerfield,
13 and -send/-nosend switches.
14 - Default to flock() locking on OpenBSD and Darwin.
15 - Added -directives support to mhbuild(1) to control whether or not
16 mhbuild will honor MIME directives by default. And added support
17 for special #on/#off/#pop directives to control the MIME directive
19 - Added -messageid switch to send(1) and post(8). This allows
20 selection of the style to use for generated Message-ID and
21 Content-ID header fields. The default localname style is
22 pid.time@localname, where time is in seconds, and matches previous
23 behavior. The random style replaces the localname with some
24 (pseudo)random bytes and uses microsecond-resolution time.
25 - Added -clobber switch to mhstore(1) to control overwriting of
27 - Added -noall/-all switches to sortm(1). sortm -noall requires
29 - $PAGER overrides the compiled-in default pager command.
30 - Added etc/scan.highlighted format file, as an example of how to
31 highlight/colorize the output of scan(1).
32 - inc(1) now supports a -port switch to specify the port used by the
36 ----------------------------
37 OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES
38 ----------------------------
40 - Changed exit status of each nmh command's -version and -help
42 - The following environment variables were deprecated in nmh 1.5
43 and removed from this release:
44 MHPOPDEBUG (use -snoop command line switch instead)
45 MM_NOASK (use -nolist and -nopause command line switches instead)
46 NOMHNPROC (use -nocheckmime command line switch instead)
47 FACEPROC (undocumented faceproc feature removed)
48 - Changed repl and dist default to -noatfile. The default of -atfile
49 was deprecated in nmh 1.5. If there are no requests to maintain
50 -atfile, it will be removed in the future.
51 - The undocumented -queue switch to mhmail has been removed.
52 - The undocumented -queue switch to post is deprecated/obsolete
53 and will be removed in the next release. It supports the
54 SMTP XQUE verb, which is obsolete according to
55 http://smtpfilter.sourceforge.net/esmtp.html
56 - conflict(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
57 - mhtest(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
58 - spost(8) has been merged into post(8). Its functionality is enabled
59 by selecting the sendmail/pipe mail transport method, described in
60 the mh-tailor(5) man page. The spost -noalias, -backup/-nobackup,
61 -push/-nopush, and -remove/-noremove switches are not supported by
62 post. Note that spost did not support -whom or Dcc, and neither
63 does post when using sendmail/pipe. And spost would expand blind
64 aliases and send them in the message; post with sendmail/pipe
65 refuses to do that. For backward compatibility, spost has been
66 replaced by a simple shell script that exec's post -mts
73 - Replaced utilities that operate on pbm files with those that operate
74 on pnm files in etc/mhn.defaults [Bug #15152].
75 - Removed obsolete BUGS section at end of rcvstore(1) man page [Bug #4361].
76 - Fixed -nocc me doesn't account for Alternate-Mailboxes [Bug #36635].
77 - Propagate Mail-Followup-To [Bug #5571].
78 - "mark -sequence cur -delete all" now works for cur as well as any
79 other sequence, to allow clearing of the current message indication.
80 - The first alias contained in a blind list is now expanded. The
81 mh-alias(5) man page was updated to show that blind lists must not
82 be terminated with, or contain, a trailing semicolon [Bug #15604].
83 - Fixed sendfiles(1) to always provide a From: address. Also, updated
85 - Fixed pick(1) to properly unfold multiple-line header fields by
86 removing newlines instead of replacing them with spaces [Bug #15215].
