+- All nmh programs will now warn about multiple profile entries for
+ the same non-null, non-comment component. In previous versions, all
+ but the first were silently ignored.
+- mhmail now supports all post(8) options, or optionally can use
send(1) with all of its options. Its formerly undocumented -resent
- switch has been documented. And it has new -send/-nosend switches.
+ switch has been documented. And it has new -attach, -headerfield,
+ and -send/-nosend switches.
+- Default to flock() locking on OpenBSD and Darwin.
+- Added -directives support to mhbuild(1) to control whether or not
+ mhbuild will honor MIME directives by default. And added support
+ for special #on/#off/#pop directives to control the MIME directive
+ processing state.
+- Added -messageid switch to send(1) and post(8). This allows
+ selection of the style to use for generated Message-ID and
+ Content-ID header fields. The default localname style is
+ pid.time@localname, where time is in seconds, and matches previous
+ behavior. The random style replaces the localname with some
+ (pseudo)random bytes and uses microsecond-resolution time.
+- Added -clobber switch to mhstore(1) to control overwriting of
+ existing files.
+- Added -noall/-all switches to sortm(1). sortm -noall requires
+ a messages argument.

OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES
- Changed exit status of each nmh command's -version and -help
switches from 1 to 0.
- The following environment variables were deprecated in nmh 1.5

+ and removed from this release:
MHPOPDEBUG (use -snoop command line switch instead)
MM_NOASK (use -nolist and -nopause command line switches instead)
NOMHNPROC (use -nocheckmime command line switch instead)
and will be removed in the next release. It supports the
SMTP XQUE verb, which is obsolete according to
http://smtpfilter.sourceforge.net/esmtp.html
+- conflict(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
+- mhtest(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
+- spost(8) has been merged into post(8). Its functionality is enabled
+ by selecting the sendmail/pipe mail transport method, described in
+ the mh-tailor(5) man page. The spost -noalias, -backup/-nobackup,
+ -push/-nopush, and -remove/-noremove switches are not supported by
+ post. Note that spost did not support -whom or Dcc, and neither
+ does post when using sendmail/pipe. And spost would expand blind
+ aliases and send them in the message; post with sendmail/pipe
+ refuses to do that. For backward compatibility, spost has been
+ replaced by a simple shell script that exec's post -mts
+ sendmail/pipe.

+ be terminated with, or contain, a trailing semicolon [Bug #15604].
