Support for - them will be removed from the next nmh release: +------------ +NEW FEATURES +------------ + +- 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 -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. + +---------------------------- +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) - 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. -- burst(1) now supports any valid message delimiter according to RFC 934. -- A problem with the MD5 digest calculator on 64-bit systems has been fixed. -- Fixed mhbuild -check to properly insert Content-MD5 header. -- Fixed mhlist -verbose to work with all content types [Bug #35219]. -- Fixed file descriptor leaks in mhparse [Bug #24004: (debbug 344182)]. -- Fixed mhstore to honor nmh-storage profile entry even with -auto - [Bug #35303]. -- post(8) can now explicitly control the SMTP envelope address either via - the Sender: header or the new Envelope-From: header. -- The -attach option is now the default (using Nmh-Attachment) and - -attachformat 1 is now the default. -- repl and dist currently create a link named ./@ to the message being - replied or redistributed. A switch, -noatfile, has been added to - disable creation of this link. The current default behavior can - also be specified with -atfile. The current default behavior is - obsolete/deprecated: -noatfile will become the default in the next - nmh release. If there are no requests to maintain -atfile, it will - be removed in the future. -- Added support for readline editing and command/filename completion at - the WhatNow? prompt + 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. +- The undocumented -queue switch to mhmail has been removed. +- The undocumented -queue switch to post is deprecated/obsolete + 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 in + etc/mts.conf, which in turn can be configured using + --with-mts=sendmail/pipe. 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 mts: pipe. spost is deprecated and will be + removed from the next release. + +--------- +BUG FIXES +--------- + +- Replaced utilities that operate on pbm files with those that operate + on pnm files in etc/mhn.defaults [Bug #15152]. +- Removed obsolete BUGS section at end of rcvstore(1) man page [Bug #4361]. +- Fixed -nocc me doesn't account for Alternate-Mailboxes [Bug #36635]. +- Propagate Mail-Followup-To [Bug #5571].
