Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
-- Switched to buffered output when performing TLS encryption in the SMTP
- MTA to increase performance.
-- mh-e support has been changed so that it is always compiled into nmh;
- old features that were previously enabled by the MHE option have been
- garbage collected.
-- Old code enabled by the UCI preprocessor definition has been
- garbage-collected.
-- LOCKDIR is now configurable via --enable-lockdir
-- All configuration options that were formerly only adjustable via editing
- config.h have been removed.
-- Support for the built-in ftp client (used when dealing with external body
- message parts in MIME messages) has been removed.
-- fileproc and mhlproc mh-profile entries will now be obeyed by
- send, rcvdist, and whatnow.
-- New mh-format(5) instructions have been implemented: %(putlit),
- %(concataddr), %(myhost), %(myname)
-- The --enable-pop configure option has been removed; POP support is now
- compiled in always.
-- You can now filter the body of a message through a user-defined filter
- program inside of repl (the idea is that it will be used by repl).
- See mhl(1), specifically the "format" keyword and "formatproc" in
- mh-profile(5).
-- The test suite has been integrated into the Makefile via "make check".
-- The following environment variables are obsolete. Support for them
- will be removed from the next nmh release:
+Backward incompatibilities:
+- 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 are 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)
- FACEPROC (undocumented faceproc feature to be removed)
-- nmh's idea of the local mailbox is available via a new mh-profile(5)
- escape, %(localmbox). The local mailbox name is now configurable
- via a new mh-profile(5) entry, Local-Mailbox.
-- comp, forw, and dist all support -from, -to, -cc, -fcc, and -subject
- switches. They also all process all component templates through
- mh-format(5).
-- post(8) now requires a From: header in all drafts that it processes
- for sending. The default component templates have all been adjusted
- to include appropriate From: headers based on either the -from switch
- or the local mailbox.
+ FACEPROC (undocumented faceproc feature removed)
+- Changed repl and dist default to -noatfile. The default of -atfile
+ was deprecated in nmh 1.5. If there are no requests to maintain
+ -atfile, it will be removed in the future.
