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).
34 ----------------------------
35 OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES
36 ----------------------------
38 - Changed exit status of each nmh command's -version and -help
40 - The following environment variables were deprecated in nmh 1.5
41 and removed from this release:
42 MHPOPDEBUG (use -snoop command line switch instead)
43 MM_NOASK (use -nolist and -nopause command line switches instead)
44 NOMHNPROC (use -nocheckmime command line switch instead)
45 FACEPROC (undocumented faceproc feature removed)
46 - Changed repl and dist default to -noatfile. The default of -atfile
47 was deprecated in nmh 1.5. If there are no requests to maintain
48 -atfile, it will be removed in the future.
49 - The undocumented -queue switch to mhmail has been removed.
50 - The undocumented -queue switch to post is deprecated/obsolete
51 and will be removed in the next release. It supports the
52 SMTP XQUE verb, which is obsolete according to
53 http://smtpfilter.sourceforge.net/esmtp.html
54 - conflict(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
55 - mhtest(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
56 - spost(8) has been merged into post(8). Its functionality is enabled
57 by selecting the sendmail/pipe mail transport method, described in
58 the mh-tailor(5) man page. The spost -noalias, -backup/-nobackup,
59 -push/-nopush, and -remove/-noremove switches are not supported by
60 post. Note that spost did not support -whom or Dcc, and neither
61 does post when using sendmail/pipe. And spost would expand blind
62 aliases and send them in the message; post with sendmail/pipe
63 refuses to do that. For backward compatibility, spost has been
64 replaced by a simple shell script that exec's post -mts
71 - Replaced utilities that operate on pbm files with those that operate
72 on pnm files in etc/mhn.defaults [Bug #15152].
73 - Removed obsolete BUGS section at end of rcvstore(1) man page [Bug #4361].
74 - Fixed -nocc me doesn't account for Alternate-Mailboxes [Bug #36635].
75 - Propagate Mail-Followup-To [Bug #5571].
76 - "mark -sequence cur -delete all" now works for cur as well as any
77 other sequence, to allow clearing of the current message indication.
78 - The first alias contained in a blind list is now expanded. The
79 mh-alias(5) man page was updated to show that blind lists must not
80 be terminated with, or contain, a trailing semicolon [Bug #15604].
81 - Fixed sendfiles(1) to always provide a From: address. Also, updated
