1 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
3 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
4 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
6 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
9 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
11 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
13 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
14 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
15 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
16 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
17 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
18 acconfig.h if you must.
20 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
22 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
23 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
24 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
25 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
27 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
29 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
32 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
34 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
35 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
36 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
37 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
38 have Content-Disposition.
40 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
42 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
45 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
47 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
48 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
50 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
52 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
53 encoded block is empty
55 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
57 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
58 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
59 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
62 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
64 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
65 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
68 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
70 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
71 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
72 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
73 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
76 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
77 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
79 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
81 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
82 function num_digits into utils.c
84 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
86 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
87 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
88 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
90 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
92 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
93 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
94 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
95 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
96 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
97 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
98 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
99 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
101 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
103 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
104 Content-Disposition header.
106 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
108 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
109 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
110 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
111 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
112 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
113 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
114 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
115 users to easily accomodate that by adding
116 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
118 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
120 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
121 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
123 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
125 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
127 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
128 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
130 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
131 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
133 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
135 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
136 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
137 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
138 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
139 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
142 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
144 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
145 widths, restoring right justification feature
147 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
149 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
150 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
151 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
153 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
156 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
158 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
159 handling multi column characters.
161 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
163 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
165 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
167 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
168 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
171 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
173 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
175 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
177 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
180 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
182 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
185 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
187 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
188 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
189 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
190 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
192 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
194 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
195 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
196 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
197 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
198 where configure's autodetection fails.
200 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
202 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
203 configure script change.
205 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
207 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
208 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
209 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
212 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
214 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
215 the context is only read once.
217 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
219 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
220 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
222 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
224 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
225 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
227 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
228 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
231 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
232 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
235 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
237 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
238 vi isn't found during build.
240 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
242 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
243 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
245 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
246 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
247 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
249 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
251 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
252 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
254 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
255 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
256 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
257 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
260 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
261 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
262 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
264 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
265 entry in the context file.
267 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
269 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
270 problems on some systems
272 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
273 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
275 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
277 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
278 sendmail isn't found during build.
280 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
282 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
284 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
286 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
287 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
289 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
290 references to the web page and mailing list locations
292 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
293 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
295 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
298 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
300 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
301 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
302 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
304 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
305 was configured with --enable-apop.
307 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
308 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
309 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
311 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
312 new versions of flex.
314 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
315 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
316 doesn't guess wrongly.
318 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
320 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
321 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
323 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
324 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
326 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
327 files with numbers as names
329 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
331 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
333 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
335 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
337 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
338 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
340 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
342 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
345 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
346 test/report error writing to stdout
348 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
350 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
352 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
353 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
354 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
356 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
357 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
358 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
360 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
362 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
363 character set used by the current locale
365 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
366 message's filename overflows an int when converted
368 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
369 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
371 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
373 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
376 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
378 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
379 from Michael Richardson.
381 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
382 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
384 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
386 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
387 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
389 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
391 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
392 find sub-parts of the specified part
394 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
396 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
397 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
398 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
399 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
400 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
401 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
402 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
405 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
407 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
408 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
409 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
412 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
413 refiling with -src option.
415 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
417 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
419 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
421 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
422 mailpath being overwritten.
424 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
426 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
427 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
428 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
429 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
430 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
431 reinitializes the tmp file string.
433 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
434 if a format string was read from the profile.
436 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
437 path for the external hook.
439 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
441 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
442 another location for ndbm.
444 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
446 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
448 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
450 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
453 136976 - Handle binary content messages
454 143427 - mh-format.man typo
455 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
456 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
457 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
458 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
459 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
460 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
461 181867 - typo for nmh.man
463 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
465 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
466 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
467 contitional code which will result in cached data to
468 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
469 and parse on the first use.
470 * Remove some unused flag bits.
472 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
474 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
475 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
477 #578 - repl leaks umask
478 #1393 - sortm core dumps
479 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
480 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
481 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
483 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
484 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
486 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
488 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
489 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
491 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
493 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
494 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
495 to docs/README.about.
497 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
499 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
501 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
502 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
503 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
504 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
507 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
509 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
510 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
511 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
512 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
513 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
514 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
517 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
518 summary configure prints out.
520 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
521 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
522 subjectively more readable) format.
524 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
526 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
529 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
531 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
532 19xx when it's not necessary.
534 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
536 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
537 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
540 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
541 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
542 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
543 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
544 the man pages correctly.
546 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
548 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
550 * Finished manpages ali-prev
552 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
553 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
554 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
557 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
558 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
559 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
560 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
562 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
564 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
565 the formatting rules I've been using.
569 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
571 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
572 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
573 used in the manpages.
575 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
576 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
577 read in the contents of the file as the variable
580 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
581 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
582 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
583 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
584 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
585 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
586 bold flags and italicized parameters.
588 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
590 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
591 --with-locking option.
593 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
594 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
595 information was not being communicated to the
596 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
597 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
598 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
599 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
600 undefined symbols problems.
602 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
603 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
604 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
605 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
606 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
607 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
608 for a genuine krb4 installation.
610 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
612 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
613 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
615 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
617 * Made a new ./configure option called
618 "--with-locking" that allows the file
619 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
620 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
622 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
623 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
624 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
625 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
626 the user that these are the valid options, and
627 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
630 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
632 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
633 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
634 committed to supporting flex only, since
635 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
636 string, as well as other problems documented
637 below and on nmh-workers.
639 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
640 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
641 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
644 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
645 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
647 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
649 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
650 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
651 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
653 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
655 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
656 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
658 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
660 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
661 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
662 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
663 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
664 couldn't correctly identify them.
666 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
668 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
669 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
670 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
671 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
672 not depending on an external archive.
674 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
675 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
676 mts/generic is no longer built.
678 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
680 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
681 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
682 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
683 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
684 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
685 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
686 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
687 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
689 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
691 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
692 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
695 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
697 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
698 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
699 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
702 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
703 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
704 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
705 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
707 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
708 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
709 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
710 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
711 merged into the smtp code).
713 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
714 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
715 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
718 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
719 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
720 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
721 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
722 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
723 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
724 in the appropriate Makefile.in
726 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
728 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
729 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
730 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
731 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
732 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
733 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
734 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
735 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
736 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
737 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
738 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
740 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
743 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
744 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
745 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
746 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
747 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
748 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
749 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
750 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
752 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
754 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
755 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
758 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
760 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
761 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
763 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
765 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
766 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
767 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
768 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
770 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
772 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
773 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
774 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
775 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
776 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
778 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
779 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
781 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
783 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
785 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
786 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
787 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
788 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
790 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
791 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
792 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
793 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
795 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
796 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
797 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
798 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
800 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
801 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
802 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
804 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
806 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
807 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
808 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
809 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
810 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
811 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
814 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
815 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
817 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
818 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
820 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
822 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
824 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
826 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
827 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
828 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
829 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
831 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
833 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
834 be easily changed from "," to "#".
836 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
838 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
840 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
841 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
844 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
846 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
847 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
848 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
849 but not for the subsequent data stream.
851 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
853 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
854 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
855 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
856 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
857 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
859 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
861 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
862 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
864 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
865 cat, also define lorder as echo.
867 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
869 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
872 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
873 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
875 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
877 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
880 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
881 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
883 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
885 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
886 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
888 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
890 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
891 inc does not need to be setgid.
893 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
895 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
896 library, as found on Debian systems.
898 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
900 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
902 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
903 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
904 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
905 case-insensitivity flag.
907 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
909 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
910 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
912 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
914 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
915 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
916 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
917 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
918 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
919 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
920 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
921 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
922 getting moved aside).
924 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
925 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
927 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
929 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
930 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
931 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
932 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
933 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
934 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
935 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
936 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
937 the prototype, but never sets it.
939 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
940 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
941 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
942 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
943 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
944 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
946 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
947 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
948 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
949 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
950 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
952 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
954 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
955 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
958 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
959 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
960 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
961 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
962 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
963 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
964 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
966 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
968 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
970 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
971 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
972 this works on other systems.
974 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
976 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
977 checks for write failures.
979 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
981 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
983 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
986 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
988 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
990 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
992 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
993 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
996 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
998 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
999 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1000 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1001 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1003 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1005 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1006 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1009 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1010 as well as Makefiles.
1012 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1014 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1015 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1016 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1017 should make maintainability easier.
1019 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1020 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1021 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1022 whatever you know works.
1024 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1026 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1027 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1028 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1030 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1031 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1032 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1033 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1035 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1036 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1037 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1039 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1040 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1041 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1042 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1043 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1045 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1046 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1047 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1048 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1049 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1050 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1051 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1052 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1053 from the BSD version.
1055 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1056 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1057 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1059 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1060 in ruserpass.c also.
1062 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1065 This happens on solaris:
1068 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1069 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1073 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1075 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1076 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1078 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1080 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1081 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1082 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1083 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1084 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1085 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1086 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1087 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1088 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1089 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1090 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1092 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1093 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1094 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1095 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1096 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1097 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1100 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1101 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1102 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1103 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1104 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1106 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1107 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1109 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1111 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1112 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1113 to stdin, such as exmh.
1115 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1116 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1117 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1120 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1122 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1123 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1124 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1125 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1126 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1127 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1128 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1130 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1132 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1133 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1135 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1137 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1138 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1140 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1142 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1145 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1146 along with any -host or -user option.
1148 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1150 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1152 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1153 process was fresh in my mind.
1155 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1157 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1158 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1160 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1162 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1164 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1167 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1168 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1169 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1170 part of the program's name.
1172 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1173 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1176 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1178 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1179 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1180 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1181 single-character format would cause programs using this
1182 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1183 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1184 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1185 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1188 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1190 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1191 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1192 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1193 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1194 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1195 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1197 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1198 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1199 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1200 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1201 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1202 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1203 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1204 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1206 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1207 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1208 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1209 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1210 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1211 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1212 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1213 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1214 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1215 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1217 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1219 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1220 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1222 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1223 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1225 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1230 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1232 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1233 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1234 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1235 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1237 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1238 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1239 problem in the routine.
1241 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1243 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1244 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1246 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1247 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1248 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1251 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1253 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1254 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1255 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1256 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1257 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1258 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1259 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1260 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1261 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1262 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1264 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1266 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1267 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1268 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1269 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1270 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1271 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1272 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1273 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1274 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1275 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1276 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1277 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1279 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1280 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1281 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1282 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1283 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1285 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1288 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1290 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1291 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1292 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1293 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1296 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1298 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1300 * Applied, after some finessing,
1301 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1303 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1305 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1307 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1308 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1309 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1310 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1312 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1314 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1315 forgetting to do so!).
1317 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1318 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1319 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1320 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1321 arguments to enable all three types.
1323 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1324 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1326 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1327 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1328 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1329 updated copy of mts.conf.
1331 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1333 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1334 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1335 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1337 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1339 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1341 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1342 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1343 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1345 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1346 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1347 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1349 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1350 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1351 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1353 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1355 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1357 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1359 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1361 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1362 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1364 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1365 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1366 certain suffix to run properly.
1368 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1369 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1370 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1372 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1373 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1374 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1375 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1376 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1377 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1378 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1380 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1382 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1383 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1384 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1385 until some year far in the future).
1387 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1389 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1391 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1392 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1394 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1395 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1398 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1400 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1401 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1402 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1403 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1404 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1405 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1407 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1409 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1411 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1412 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1413 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1415 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1416 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1417 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1418 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1419 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1420 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1423 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1424 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1425 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1426 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1427 of masquerading individually.
1429 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1430 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1431 GECOS field delimiters.
1433 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1435 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1436 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1437 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1438 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1439 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1440 and explaining the feature.
1442 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1444 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1445 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1448 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1449 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1450 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1452 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1453 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1454 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1455 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1457 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1458 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1459 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1462 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1464 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1465 code to be executed.
1467 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1469 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1471 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1472 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1473 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1474 quotes embedded in them.
1476 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1478 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1479 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1480 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1481 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1482 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1483 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1484 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1487 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1488 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1489 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1490 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1491 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1493 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1495 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1497 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1498 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1499 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1500 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1502 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1505 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1507 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1509 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1511 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1512 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1513 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1515 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1518 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1520 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1521 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1522 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1523 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1524 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1525 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1527 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1528 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1530 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1532 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1535 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1537 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1538 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1539 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1542 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1543 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1544 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1545 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1546 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1547 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1548 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1549 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1550 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1551 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1552 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1553 processing that post has).
1555 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1557 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1558 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1559 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1560 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1561 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1562 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1565 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1567 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1569 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1571 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1573 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1574 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1576 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1579 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1581 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1582 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1583 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1586 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1588 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1589 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1590 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1591 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1592 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1593 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1595 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1597 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1599 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1601 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1602 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1603 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1604 caught again. This works for now.
1606 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1608 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1610 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1611 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1613 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1615 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1616 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1618 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1620 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1622 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1624 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1625 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1627 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1629 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1630 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1631 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1632 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1633 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1636 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1638 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1639 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1640 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1642 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1643 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1646 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1648 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1649 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1650 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1652 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1654 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1655 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1657 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1659 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1662 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1663 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1665 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1666 macros, regardless of platform.
1668 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1669 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1671 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1672 with x-conversions=gzip.
1674 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1676 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1679 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1680 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1681 implicit definition of ioctl().
1683 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1684 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1685 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1686 want to mess with them.
1688 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1690 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1691 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1693 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1694 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1696 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1697 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1698 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1700 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1701 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1702 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1704 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1705 function initgroups.
1707 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1710 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1711 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1714 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1715 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1718 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1719 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1723 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1725 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1726 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1727 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1729 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1730 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1732 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1734 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1736 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1737 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1738 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1739 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1741 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1742 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1744 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1746 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1748 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1750 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1751 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1753 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1755 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1756 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1758 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1759 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1760 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1761 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1763 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1764 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1766 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1768 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1769 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1771 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1773 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1774 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1777 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1779 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1781 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1783 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1784 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1786 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1787 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1788 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1790 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1791 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1792 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1794 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1795 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1796 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1798 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1799 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1802 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1803 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1805 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1806 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1808 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1809 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1811 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1812 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1813 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1815 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1816 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1818 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1819 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1820 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1822 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1823 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1826 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1827 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1829 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1830 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1831 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1832 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1834 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1835 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1837 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1841 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1842 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1843 would not be changed.
1845 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1846 one from the Apache web server.
1848 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1849 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1851 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1852 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1853 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1855 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1857 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1859 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1860 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1863 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1864 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1865 removes a bad race condition.
1867 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1870 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1871 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1872 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1874 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1875 sequence information.
1877 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1878 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1880 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1883 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1886 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1888 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1889 interpret 034 as octal.
1891 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1893 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1894 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1896 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1897 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1899 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1900 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1902 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1903 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1905 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1906 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1908 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1909 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1910 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1912 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1913 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1914 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1916 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1918 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1920 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1921 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1924 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1926 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1927 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1929 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1930 header field information.
1932 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1933 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1935 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1936 values when parsing a content.
1938 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1939 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1941 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1942 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1944 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1945 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1947 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1948 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1950 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1952 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1954 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1956 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1958 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1959 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1962 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1963 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1965 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1966 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1967 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1968 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1969 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1970 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1973 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1975 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1976 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1977 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1979 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1980 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1982 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1984 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1985 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1986 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1987 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1989 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1990 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1993 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1994 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1995 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1996 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1999 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2001 * Released nmh-0.27.
2003 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2004 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2006 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2007 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2008 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2009 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2012 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2013 mhbuild returns an error.
2015 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2016 rename the draft file.
2018 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2019 use a global variable.
2021 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2022 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2024 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2025 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2027 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2028 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2029 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2031 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2032 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2034 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2035 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2038 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2039 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2042 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2043 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2045 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2046 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2047 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2049 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2050 to new function output_content_folder.
2052 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2053 new function output_content_file.
2055 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2056 to new function parse_format_string.
2058 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2059 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2060 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2061 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2063 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2064 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2065 message/external file from ftp.
2067 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2068 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2069 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2071 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2072 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2075 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2078 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2079 new file mhstoresbr.c
2081 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2084 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2085 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2087 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2088 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2090 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2091 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2092 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2094 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2096 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2098 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2099 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2102 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2103 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2105 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2108 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2110 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2112 * Released nmh-0.26.
2114 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2115 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2116 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2117 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2119 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2120 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2121 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2122 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2123 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2125 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2126 But it is not on by default.
2128 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2129 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2131 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2133 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2135 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2137 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2139 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2140 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2142 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2144 * Released nmh-0.25.
2146 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2147 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2148 uses the original name of the library.
2150 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2151 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2154 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2155 list_content and list_debug.
2157 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2159 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2160 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2162 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2164 * Released nmh-0.24.
2166 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2168 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2169 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2171 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2172 large sequence line.
2174 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2176 * Released nmh-0.23.
2178 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2180 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2181 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2182 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2183 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2185 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2186 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2189 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2191 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2193 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2195 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2196 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2198 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2199 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2201 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2202 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2204 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2205 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2207 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2209 * Released nmh-0.22.
2211 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2212 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2214 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2216 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2217 mh-profile(5) man page.
2219 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2220 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2222 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2224 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2226 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2227 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2229 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2231 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2232 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2233 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2235 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2236 source message on the standard input.
2238 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2240 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2241 rather than -rfc934mode.
2243 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2244 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2247 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2248 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2250 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2253 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2255 * Released nmh-0.21.
2257 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2258 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2260 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2263 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2264 to use for text contents.
2266 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2268 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2270 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2272 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2274 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2275 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2277 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2278 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2279 spaces between encoded word are.
2281 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2283 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2284 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2286 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2287 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2288 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2290 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2292 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2293 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2295 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2297 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2299 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2300 ISO-8859-X character set.
2302 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2305 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2306 permissions, not write permissions.
2308 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2309 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2311 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2314 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2316 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2318 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2319 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2321 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2322 message contains valid character set.
2324 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2325 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2327 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2328 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2330 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2331 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2332 between an encoded word and normal text.
2334 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2335 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2337 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2338 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2340 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2343 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2344 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2347 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2348 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2350 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2351 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2353 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2355 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2357 * Released nmh-0.20.
2359 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2361 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2363 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2364 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2365 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2367 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2368 and the To: line was missing.
2370 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2372 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2374 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2376 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2377 watch the POP transaction.
2379 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2380 first, and use it if available.
2382 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2383 first, and use it if available.
2385 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2387 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2389 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2390 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2391 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2394 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2395 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2396 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2398 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2399 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2402 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2404 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2405 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2407 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2409 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2410 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2412 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2413 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2414 message to which you are replying.
2416 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2417 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2418 making group replies.
2420 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2422 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2424 * Released nmh-0.19.
2426 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2427 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2429 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2430 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2431 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2432 to the end of the man page.
2434 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2435 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2436 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2437 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2438 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2439 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2441 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2444 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2445 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2446 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2448 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2449 the next available number above the message number you wish
2452 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2453 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2455 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2456 file sbr/seq_print.c
2458 * flist will now update the current folder.
2460 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2461 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2462 but now undocumented.
2464 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2467 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2468 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2470 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2472 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2473 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2475 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2477 * Released nmh-0.18.
2479 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2480 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2481 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2483 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2484 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2486 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2487 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2488 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2489 previous public/private status.
2491 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2494 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2497 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2498 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2499 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2501 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2502 take option to determine whether it should get current
2503 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2504 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2506 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2508 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2509 wait for stopped processes.
2511 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2512 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2514 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2516 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2518 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2519 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2521 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2522 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2524 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2525 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2526 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2527 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2529 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2532 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2535 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2537 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2538 the debugging output.
2540 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2541 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2543 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2545 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2547 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2548 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2550 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2552 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2553 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2554 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2555 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2556 in the given sequence.
2558 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2559 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2560 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2561 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2562 subdirectories of a given directory.
2564 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2565 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2566 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2568 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2569 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2571 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2573 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2576 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2577 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2578 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2580 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2581 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2582 are calculated at runtime.
2584 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2586 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2588 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2589 about checking for global mh.profile.
2591 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2592 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2593 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2594 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2595 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2596 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2598 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2599 adding message to folder itself.
2601 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2602 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2603 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2606 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2607 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2610 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2611 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2612 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2614 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2615 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2617 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2618 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2619 code to use it yet).
2621 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2625 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2626 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2628 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2629 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2631 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2633 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2636 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2638 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2640 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2642 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2644 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2645 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2647 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2649 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2651 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2653 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2655 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2657 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2658 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2660 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2661 configuration files.
2663 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2665 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667 * Released nmh-0.17.
2669 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2671 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2672 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2674 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2677 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2678 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2680 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2681 number of refiled message.
2683 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2685 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2686 for return value of wait().
2688 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2690 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2692 * Released nmh-0.16.
2694 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2696 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2698 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2699 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2700 deal with binary messages, yet).
2702 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2704 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2706 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2707 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2708 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2709 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2710 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2711 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2713 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2714 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2716 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2717 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2719 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2720 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2723 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2725 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2727 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2728 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2731 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2734 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2736 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2737 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2738 which used unsigned chars by default.
2740 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * Released nmh-0.15.
2744 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2745 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2747 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2749 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2751 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2754 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2755 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2756 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2758 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2759 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2761 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2763 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2764 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2766 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2767 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2768 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2769 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2771 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2772 and put in own subroutine.
2774 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2775 and put in own subroutine.
2777 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2778 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2779 refile.c to use new routine.
2781 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2785 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2788 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2789 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2790 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2792 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2795 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2796 adding message to sequence.
2798 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2799 corresponding file in sbr.
2801 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2804 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2806 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2807 all selected messages from a sequence.
2809 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2810 selected messages to a sequence.
2812 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2815 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2818 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2820 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2823 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.

2870 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2872 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if

2906 will suppress the display of the message header.
2908 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2910 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2927 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2929 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2930 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2932 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2995 * Released nmh-0.08.
2997 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2998 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2999 locking database itself.

3003 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3005 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3006 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3009 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3010 rather than mmdf format.
3012 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3013 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3014 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3015 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3017 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3019 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3021 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3024 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3025 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3026 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3028 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3029 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3030 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3032 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3034 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3035 can still easily change this in config.h).
3037 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3038 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3039 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3041 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3058 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3060 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3061 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3064 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3065 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3078 * Released nmh-0.06.
3080 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3081 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3083 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3084 many such machines around anymore.
3086 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3087 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3089 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3090 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3092 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3094 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3095 pre-generated version if necessary.
3097 * Released nmh-0.05.
3099 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3100 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3101 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3102 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3104 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3105 be linked in one pass.
3107 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3109 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3110 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3112 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3114 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3116 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3118 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3119 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3120 become the current folder.
3122 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3124 * Released nmh-0.04.
3126 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3129 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3131 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3132 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3133 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3135 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3137 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3138 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3140 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3142 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3143 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3146 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3147 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3149 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3151 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3152 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3153 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3154 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3155 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3156 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3158 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3160 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3161 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3163 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3164 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3166 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3168 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3169 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3171 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3173 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3174 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3175 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3177 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3179 * Released nmh-0.03.
3181 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3182 .mh_sequence file existed.
3184 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3185 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3187 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3188 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3191 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3193 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3196 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3198 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3199 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3200 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3202 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3204 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3205 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3206 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3208 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3210 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3211 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3213 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3215 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3217 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3218 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3219 directory from where the source code is located.
3221 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3223 * Released nmh-0.02.

3243 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3244 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3245 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3246 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3247 rather than in script.
3249 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3251 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3253 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3254 macro defined on Solaris.

3258 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3259 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3261 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3262 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3263 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3264 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3267 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3269 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3270 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3272 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3275 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3277 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3279 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3280 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3282 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3284 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3285 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3287 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3289 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3290 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3291 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3292 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3293 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3294 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3296 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3298 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3300 * Released nmh-0.01.
3302 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3303 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3304 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3307 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3309 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3312 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3314 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3315 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3317 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3319 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3320 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3321 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3322 script to find_program.
3324 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3326 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3327 speed up -recurse option.
3329 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3330 yet, but it compiles :-)
3332 * Changed default location for install to
3333 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3334 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3335 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3338 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3339 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3340 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
