1 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
4 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
5 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
6 ruserpass() has a void return type.
8 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
9 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
10 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
11 provide memmove() substitute implementation
13 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
14 source directory' feature
16 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
17 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
19 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
21 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
22 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
23 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
26 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
28 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
29 is the wrong approach.
31 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
32 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
33 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
36 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
37 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
38 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
39 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
40 broken for continued lines from the server.
42 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
44 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
45 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
47 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
49 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
51 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
54 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
56 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
58 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
60 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
61 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
62 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
63 obsolete feature of autoconf
65 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
67 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
68 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
69 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
71 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
73 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
74 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
76 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
78 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
81 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
83 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
84 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
85 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
86 following done() (should never be reached).
88 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
90 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
91 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
93 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
95 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
96 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
98 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
100 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
101 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
102 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
103 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
104 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
105 acconfig.h if you must.
107 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
109 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
110 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
111 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
112 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
114 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
116 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
119 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
121 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
122 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
123 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
124 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
125 have Content-Disposition.
127 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
129 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
132 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
134 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
135 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
137 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
139 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
140 encoded block is empty
142 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
144 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
145 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
146 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
149 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
151 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
152 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
155 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
157 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
158 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
159 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
160 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
163 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
164 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
166 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
168 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
169 function num_digits into utils.c
171 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
173 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
174 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
175 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
177 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
179 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
180 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
181 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
182 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
183 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
184 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
185 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
186 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
188 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
190 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
191 Content-Disposition header.
193 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
195 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
196 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
197 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
198 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
199 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
200 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
201 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
202 users to easily accomodate that by adding
203 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
205 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
207 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
208 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
210 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
212 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
214 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
215 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
217 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
218 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
220 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
222 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
223 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
224 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
225 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
226 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
229 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
231 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
232 widths, restoring right justification feature
234 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
236 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
237 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
238 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
240 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
243 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
245 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
246 handling multi column characters.
248 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
250 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
252 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
254 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
255 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
258 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
260 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
262 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
264 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
267 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
269 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
272 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
274 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
275 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
276 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
277 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
279 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
281 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
282 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
283 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
284 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
285 where configure's autodetection fails.
287 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
289 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
290 configure script change.
292 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
294 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
295 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
296 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
299 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
301 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
302 the context is only read once.
304 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
306 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
307 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
309 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
311 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
312 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
314 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
315 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
318 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
319 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
322 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
324 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
325 vi isn't found during build.
327 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
329 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
330 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
332 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
333 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
334 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
336 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
338 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
339 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
341 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
342 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
343 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
344 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
347 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
348 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
349 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
351 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
352 entry in the context file.
354 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
356 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
357 problems on some systems
359 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
360 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
362 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
364 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
365 sendmail isn't found during build.
367 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
369 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
371 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
373 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
374 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
376 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
377 references to the web page and mailing list locations
379 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
380 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
382 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
385 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
387 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
388 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
389 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
391 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
392 was configured with --enable-apop.
394 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
395 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
396 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
398 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
399 new versions of flex.
401 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
402 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
403 doesn't guess wrongly.
405 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
407 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
408 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
410 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
411 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
413 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
414 files with numbers as names
416 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
418 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
420 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
422 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
424 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
425 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
427 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
429 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
432 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
433 test/report error writing to stdout
435 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
437 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
439 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
440 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
441 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
443 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
444 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
445 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
447 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
449 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
450 character set used by the current locale
452 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
453 message's filename overflows an int when converted
455 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
456 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
458 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
460 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
463 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
465 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
466 from Michael Richardson.
468 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
469 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
471 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
473 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
474 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
476 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
478 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
479 find sub-parts of the specified part
481 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
483 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
484 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
485 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
486 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
487 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
488 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
489 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
492 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
494 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
495 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
496 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
499 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
500 refiling with -src option.
502 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
504 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
506 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
508 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
509 mailpath being overwritten.
511 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
513 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
514 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
515 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
516 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
517 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
518 reinitializes the tmp file string.
520 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
521 if a format string was read from the profile.
523 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
524 path for the external hook.
526 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
528 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
529 another location for ndbm.
531 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
533 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
535 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
537 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
540 136976 - Handle binary content messages
541 143427 - mh-format.man typo
542 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
543 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
544 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
545 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
546 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
547 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
548 181867 - typo for nmh.man
550 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
552 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
553 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
554 contitional code which will result in cached data to
555 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
556 and parse on the first use.
557 * Remove some unused flag bits.
559 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
561 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
562 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
564 #578 - repl leaks umask
565 #1393 - sortm core dumps
566 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
567 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
568 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
570 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
571 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
573 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
575 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
576 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
578 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
580 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
581 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
582 to docs/README.about.
584 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
586 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
588 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
589 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
590 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
591 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
594 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
596 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
597 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
598 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
599 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
600 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
601 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
604 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
605 summary configure prints out.
607 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
608 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
609 subjectively more readable) format.
611 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
613 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
616 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
618 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
619 19xx when it's not necessary.
621 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
623 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
624 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
627 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
628 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
629 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
630 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
631 the man pages correctly.
633 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
635 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
637 * Finished manpages ali-prev
639 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
640 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
641 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
644 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
645 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
646 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
647 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
649 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
651 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
652 the formatting rules I've been using.
656 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
658 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
659 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
660 used in the manpages.
662 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
663 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
664 read in the contents of the file as the variable
667 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
668 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
669 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
670 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
671 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
672 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
673 bold flags and italicized parameters.
675 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
677 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
678 --with-locking option.
680 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
681 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
682 information was not being communicated to the
683 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
684 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
685 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
686 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
687 undefined symbols problems.
689 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
690 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
691 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
692 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
693 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
694 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
695 for a genuine krb4 installation.
697 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
699 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
700 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
702 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
704 * Made a new ./configure option called
705 "--with-locking" that allows the file
706 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
707 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
709 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
710 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
711 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
712 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
713 the user that these are the valid options, and
714 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
717 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
719 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
720 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
721 committed to supporting flex only, since
722 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
723 string, as well as other problems documented
724 below and on nmh-workers.
726 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
727 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
728 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
731 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
732 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
734 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
736 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
737 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
738 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
740 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
743 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
745 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
747 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
748 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
749 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
750 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
751 couldn't correctly identify them.
753 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
755 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
756 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
757 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
758 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
759 not depending on an external archive.
761 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
762 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
763 mts/generic is no longer built.
765 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
767 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
768 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
769 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
770 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
771 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
772 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
773 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
774 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
776 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
778 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
779 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
782 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
784 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
785 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
786 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
789 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
790 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
791 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
792 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
794 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
795 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
796 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
797 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
798 merged into the smtp code).
800 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
801 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
802 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
805 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
806 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
807 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
808 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
809 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
810 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
811 in the appropriate Makefile.in
813 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
815 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
816 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
817 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
818 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
819 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
820 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
821 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
822 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
823 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
824 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
825 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
827 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
829 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
830 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
831 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
832 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
833 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
834 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
835 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
836 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
837 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
839 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
841 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
842 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
845 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
847 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
848 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
850 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
852 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
853 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
854 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
855 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
857 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
859 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
860 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
861 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
862 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
863 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
865 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
866 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
868 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
870 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
872 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
873 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
874 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
875 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
877 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
878 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
879 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
880 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
882 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
883 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
884 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
885 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
887 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
888 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
889 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
891 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
893 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
894 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
895 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
896 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
897 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
898 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
901 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
902 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
904 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
905 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
907 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
909 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
911 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
913 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
914 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
915 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
916 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
918 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
920 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
921 be easily changed from "," to "#".
923 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
925 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
927 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
928 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
931 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
933 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
934 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
935 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
936 but not for the subsequent data stream.
938 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
940 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
941 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
942 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
943 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
944 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
946 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
948 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
949 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
951 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
952 cat, also define lorder as echo.
954 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
956 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
958 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
959 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
960 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
962 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
964 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
967 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
968 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
970 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
972 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
973 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
975 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
977 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
978 inc does not need to be setgid.
980 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
982 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
983 library, as found on Debian systems.
985 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
987 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
989 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
990 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
991 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
992 case-insensitivity flag.
994 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
996 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
997 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
999 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1001 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1002 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1003 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1004 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1005 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1006 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1007 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1008 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1009 getting moved aside).
1011 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1012 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1014 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1016 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1017 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1018 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1019 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1020 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1021 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1022 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1023 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1024 the prototype, but never sets it.
1026 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1027 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1028 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1029 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1030 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1031 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1033 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1034 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1035 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1036 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1037 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1039 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1041 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1042 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1045 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1046 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1047 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1048 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1049 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1050 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1051 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1053 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1055 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1057 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1058 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1059 this works on other systems.
1061 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1063 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1064 checks for write failures.
1066 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1068 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1070 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1073 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1075 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1077 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1079 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1080 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1083 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1085 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1086 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1087 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1088 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1090 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1092 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1093 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1096 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1097 as well as Makefiles.
1099 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1101 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1102 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1103 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1104 should make maintainability easier.
1106 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1107 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1108 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1109 whatever you know works.
1111 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1113 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1114 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1115 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1117 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1118 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1119 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1120 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1122 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1123 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1124 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1126 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1127 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1128 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1129 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1130 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1132 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1133 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1134 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1135 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1136 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1137 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1138 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1139 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1140 from the BSD version.
1142 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1143 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1144 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1146 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1147 in ruserpass.c also.
1149 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1152 This happens on solaris:
1155 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1156 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1160 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1162 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1163 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1165 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1168 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1169 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1170 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1171 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1172 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1173 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1174 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1175 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1176 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1177 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1179 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1180 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1181 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1182 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1183 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1184 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1187 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1188 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1189 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1190 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1191 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1193 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1194 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1196 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1198 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1199 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1200 to stdin, such as exmh.
1202 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1203 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1204 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1207 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1210 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1211 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1212 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1213 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1214 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1215 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1217 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1219 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1220 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1222 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1224 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1225 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1227 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1229 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1232 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1233 along with any -host or -user option.
1235 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1237 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1239 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1240 process was fresh in my mind.
1242 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1245 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1247 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1249 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1251 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1254 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1255 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1256 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1257 part of the program's name.
1259 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1260 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1263 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1265 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1266 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1267 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1268 single-character format would cause programs using this
1269 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1270 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1271 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1272 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1275 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1277 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1278 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1279 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1280 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1281 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1282 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1284 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1285 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1286 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1287 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1288 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1289 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1290 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1291 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1293 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1294 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1295 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1296 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1297 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1298 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1299 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1300 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1301 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1302 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1304 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1306 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1307 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1309 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1310 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1312 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1317 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1319 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1320 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1321 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1322 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1324 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1325 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1326 problem in the routine.
1328 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1330 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1331 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1333 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1334 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1335 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1338 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1340 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1341 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1342 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1343 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1344 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1345 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1346 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1347 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1348 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1349 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1351 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1353 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1354 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1355 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1356 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1357 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1358 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1359 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1360 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1361 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1362 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1363 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1364 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1366 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1367 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1368 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1369 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1370 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1372 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1375 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1377 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1378 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1379 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1380 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1383 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1385 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1387 * Applied, after some finessing,
1388 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1390 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1392 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1394 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1395 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1396 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1397 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1399 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1401 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1402 forgetting to do so!).
1404 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1405 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1406 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1407 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1408 arguments to enable all three types.
1410 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1411 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1413 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1414 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1415 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1416 updated copy of mts.conf.
1418 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1420 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1421 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1422 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1424 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1426 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1428 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1429 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1430 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1432 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1433 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1434 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1436 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1437 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1438 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1440 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1442 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1444 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1446 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1448 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1449 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1451 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1452 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1453 certain suffix to run properly.
1455 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1456 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1457 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1459 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1460 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1461 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1462 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1463 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1464 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1465 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1467 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1469 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1470 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1471 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1472 until some year far in the future).
1474 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1476 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1478 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1479 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1481 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1482 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1485 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1487 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1488 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1489 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1490 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1491 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1492 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1494 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1496 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1498 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1499 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1500 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1502 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1503 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1504 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1505 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1506 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1507 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1510 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1511 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1512 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1513 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1514 of masquerading individually.
1516 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1517 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1518 GECOS field delimiters.
1520 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1522 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1523 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1524 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1525 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1526 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1527 and explaining the feature.
1529 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1531 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1532 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1535 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1536 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1537 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1539 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1540 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1541 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1542 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1544 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1545 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1546 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1549 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1551 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1552 code to be executed.
1554 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1556 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1558 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1559 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1560 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1561 quotes embedded in them.
1563 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1565 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1566 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1567 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1568 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1569 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1570 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1571 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1574 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1575 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1576 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1577 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1578 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1580 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1582 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1584 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1585 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1586 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1587 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1589 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1592 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1594 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1596 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1598 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1599 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1600 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1602 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1605 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1607 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1608 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1609 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1610 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1611 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1612 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1614 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1615 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1617 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1619 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1622 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1624 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1625 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1626 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1629 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1630 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1631 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1632 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1633 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1634 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1635 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1636 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1637 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1638 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1639 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1640 processing that post has).
1642 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1644 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1645 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1646 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1647 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1648 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1649 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1652 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1654 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1656 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1658 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1660 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1661 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1663 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1666 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1668 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1669 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1670 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1673 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1675 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1676 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1677 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1678 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1679 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1680 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1682 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1684 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1686 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1688 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1689 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1690 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1691 caught again. This works for now.
1693 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1695 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1697 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1698 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1700 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1702 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1703 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1705 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1707 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1709 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1711 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1712 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1714 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1716 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1717 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1718 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1719 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1720 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1723 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1725 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1726 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1727 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1729 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1730 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1733 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1735 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1736 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1737 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1739 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1741 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1742 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1744 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1746 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1749 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1750 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1752 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1753 macros, regardless of platform.
1755 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1756 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1758 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1759 with x-conversions=gzip.
1761 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1763 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1766 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1767 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1768 implicit definition of ioctl().
1770 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1771 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1772 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1773 want to mess with them.
1775 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1777 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1778 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1780 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1781 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1783 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1784 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1785 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1787 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1788 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1789 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1791 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1792 function initgroups.
1794 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1797 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1798 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1801 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1802 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1805 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1806 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1810 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1812 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1813 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1814 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1816 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1817 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1819 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1821 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1823 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1824 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1825 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1826 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1828 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1829 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1831 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1833 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1835 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1837 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1838 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1840 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1842 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1843 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1845 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1846 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1847 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1848 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1850 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1851 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1853 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1855 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1856 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1858 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1860 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1861 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1864 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1866 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1868 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1870 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1871 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1873 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1874 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1875 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1877 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1878 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1879 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1881 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1882 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1883 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1885 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1886 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1889 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1890 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1892 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1893 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1895 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1896 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1898 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1899 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1900 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1902 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1903 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1905 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1906 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1907 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1909 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1910 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1913 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1914 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1916 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1917 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1918 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1919 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1921 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1922 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1924 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1928 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1929 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1930 would not be changed.
1932 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1933 one from the Apache web server.
1935 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1936 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1938 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1939 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1940 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1942 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1944 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1946 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1947 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1950 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1951 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1952 removes a bad race condition.
1954 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1957 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1958 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1959 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1961 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1962 sequence information.
1964 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1965 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1967 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1970 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1973 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1975 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1976 interpret 034 as octal.
1978 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1980 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1981 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1983 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1984 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1986 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1987 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1989 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1990 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1992 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1993 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1995 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1996 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1997 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1999 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2000 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2001 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2003 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2005 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2007 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2008 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2011 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2013 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2014 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2016 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2017 header field information.
2019 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2020 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2022 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2023 values when parsing a content.
2025 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2026 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2028 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2029 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2031 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2032 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2034 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2035 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2037 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2039 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2041 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2043 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2045 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2046 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2049 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2050 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2052 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2053 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2054 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2055 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2056 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2057 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2060 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2062 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2063 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2064 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2066 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2067 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2069 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2071 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2072 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2073 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2074 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2076 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2077 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2080 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2081 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2082 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2083 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2086 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2088 * Released nmh-0.27.
2090 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2091 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2093 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2094 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2095 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2096 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2099 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2100 mhbuild returns an error.
2102 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2103 rename the draft file.
2105 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2106 use a global variable.
2108 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2109 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2111 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2112 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2114 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2115 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2116 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2118 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2119 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2121 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2122 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2125 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2126 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2129 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2130 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2132 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2133 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2134 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2136 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2137 to new function output_content_folder.
2139 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2140 new function output_content_file.
2142 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2143 to new function parse_format_string.
2145 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2146 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2147 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2148 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2150 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2151 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2152 message/external file from ftp.
2154 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2155 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2156 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2158 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2159 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2162 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2165 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2166 new file mhstoresbr.c
2168 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2171 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2172 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2174 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2175 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2177 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2178 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2179 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2181 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2183 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2185 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2186 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2189 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2190 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2192 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2195 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2197 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2199 * Released nmh-0.26.
2201 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2202 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2203 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2204 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2206 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2207 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2208 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2209 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2210 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2212 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2213 But it is not on by default.
2215 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2216 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2218 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2220 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2222 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2224 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2226 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2227 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2229 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2231 * Released nmh-0.25.
2233 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2234 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2235 uses the original name of the library.
2237 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2238 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2241 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2242 list_content and list_debug.
2244 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2246 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2247 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2249 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2251 * Released nmh-0.24.
2253 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2255 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2256 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2258 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2259 large sequence line.
2261 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2263 * Released nmh-0.23.
2265 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2267 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2268 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2269 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2270 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2272 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2273 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2276 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2278 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2280 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2282 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2283 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2285 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2286 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2288 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2289 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2291 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2292 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2294 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2296 * Released nmh-0.22.
2298 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2299 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2301 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2303 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2304 mh-profile(5) man page.
2306 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2307 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2309 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2313 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2314 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2316 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2318 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2319 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2320 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2322 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2323 source message on the standard input.
2325 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2327 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2328 rather than -rfc934mode.
2330 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2331 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2334 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2335 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2337 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2340 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2342 * Released nmh-0.21.
2344 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2345 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2347 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2350 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2351 to use for text contents.
2353 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2355 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2357 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2359 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2361 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2362 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2364 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2365 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2366 spaces between encoded word are.
2368 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2370 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2371 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2373 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2374 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2375 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2377 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2379 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2380 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2382 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2384 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2386 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2387 ISO-8859-X character set.
2389 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2392 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2393 permissions, not write permissions.
2395 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2396 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2398 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2401 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2403 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2405 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2406 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2408 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2409 message contains valid character set.
2411 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2412 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2414 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2415 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2417 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2418 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2419 between an encoded word and normal text.
2421 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2422 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2424 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2425 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2427 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2430 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2431 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2434 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2435 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2437 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2438 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2440 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2442 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2444 * Released nmh-0.20.
2446 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2448 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2450 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2451 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2452 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2454 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2455 and the To: line was missing.
2457 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2459 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2461 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2463 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2464 watch the POP transaction.
2466 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2467 first, and use it if available.
2469 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2470 first, and use it if available.
2472 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2474 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2476 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2477 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2478 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2481 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2482 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2483 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2485 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2486 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2489 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2491 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2492 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2494 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2496 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2497 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2499 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2500 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2501 message to which you are replying.
2503 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2504 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2505 making group replies.
2507 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2509 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2511 * Released nmh-0.19.
2513 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2514 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2516 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2517 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2518 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2519 to the end of the man page.
2521 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2522 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2523 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2524 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2525 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2526 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2528 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2531 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2532 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2533 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2535 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2536 the next available number above the message number you wish
2539 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2540 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2542 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2543 file sbr/seq_print.c
2545 * flist will now update the current folder.
2547 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2548 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2549 but now undocumented.
2551 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2554 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2555 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2557 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2559 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2560 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2562 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2564 * Released nmh-0.18.
2566 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2567 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2568 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2570 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2571 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2573 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2574 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2575 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2576 previous public/private status.
2578 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2581 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2584 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2585 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2586 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2588 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2589 take option to determine whether it should get current
2590 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2591 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2593 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2595 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2596 wait for stopped processes.
2598 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2599 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2601 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2603 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2605 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2606 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2608 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2609 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2611 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2612 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2613 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2614 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2616 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2619 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2622 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2624 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2625 the debugging output.
2627 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2628 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2630 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2632 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2634 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2635 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2637 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2639 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2640 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2641 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2642 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2643 in the given sequence.
2645 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2646 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2647 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2648 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2649 subdirectories of a given directory.
2651 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2652 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2653 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2655 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2656 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2658 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2660 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2663 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2664 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2665 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2667 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2668 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2669 are calculated at runtime.
2671 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2673 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2675 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2676 about checking for global mh.profile.
2678 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2679 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2680 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2681 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2682 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2683 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2685 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2686 adding message to folder itself.
2688 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2689 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2690 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2693 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2694 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2697 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2698 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2699 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2701 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2702 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2704 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2705 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2706 code to use it yet).
2708 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2710 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2712 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2713 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2715 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2716 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2718 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2720 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2723 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2725 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2727 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2729 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2731 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2732 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2734 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2736 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2738 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2740 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2742 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2744 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2745 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2747 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2748 configuration files.
2750 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2752 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2754 * Released nmh-0.17.
2756 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2758 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2759 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2761 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2764 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2765 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2767 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2768 number of refiled message.
2770 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2772 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2773 for return value of wait().
2775 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2777 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2779 * Released nmh-0.16.
2781 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2785 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2786 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2787 deal with binary messages, yet).
2789 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2791 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2793 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2794 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2795 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2796 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2797 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2798 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2800 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2801 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2803 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2804 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2806 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2807 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2810 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2812 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2814 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2815 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2818 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2821 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2823 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2824 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2825 which used unsigned chars by default.

2842 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2843 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2845 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2846 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2848 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2850 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2851 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2853 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2854 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2855 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2856 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2858 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2859 and put in own subroutine.
2861 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2862 and put in own subroutine.

2897 selected messages to a sequence.
2899 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2902 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2904 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it

2946 * Released nmh-0.13.
2948 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2949 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2950 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2951 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2954 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2955 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2957 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2959 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2960 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2962 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2964 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2993 will suppress the display of the message header.
2995 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2997 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2998 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.

3007 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3009 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3010 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3012 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3014 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3016 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3017 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3019 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3020 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

3034 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3036 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3037 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3039 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3044 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3045 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3047 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3049 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3082 * Released nmh-0.08.
3084 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3085 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3086 locking database itself.

3090 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3092 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3093 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3096 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3097 rather than mmdf format.
3099 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3100 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3101 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3102 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3104 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3106 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3108 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3111 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3112 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3113 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3115 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3116 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3117 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3119 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3121 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3122 can still easily change this in config.h).
3124 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3125 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3126 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3128 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3130 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3145 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3147 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3148 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3151 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3152 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3165 * Released nmh-0.06.
3167 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3168 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3170 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3171 many such machines around anymore.
3173 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3174 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3176 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3177 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3179 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3181 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3182 pre-generated version if necessary.
3184 * Released nmh-0.05.
3186 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3187 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3188 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3189 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3191 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3192 be linked in one pass.
3194 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3196 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3197 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3199 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3201 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3203 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3205 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3206 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3207 become the current folder.
3209 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3211 * Released nmh-0.04.
3213 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3216 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3218 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3219 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3220 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3222 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3224 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3225 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3227 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3229 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3230 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3233 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3234 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3236 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3238 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3239 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3240 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3241 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3242 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3243 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3245 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3247 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3248 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3250 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3251 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3253 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3255 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3256 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3258 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3260 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3261 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3262 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3264 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3266 * Released nmh-0.03.
3268 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3269 .mh_sequence file existed.
3271 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3272 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3274 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3275 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3278 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3280 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3283 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3285 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3286 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3287 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3289 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3291 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3292 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3293 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3295 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3297 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3298 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3300 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3302 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3304 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3305 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3306 directory from where the source code is located.
3308 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3310 * Released nmh-0.02.

3324 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3326 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3328 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3330 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3331 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3332 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3333 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3334 rather than in script.
3336 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3338 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3340 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3341 macro defined on Solaris.

3345 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3346 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3348 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3349 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3350 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3351 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3354 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3356 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3357 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3359 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3362 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3364 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3366 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3367 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3369 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3371 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3372 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3374 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3376 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3377 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3378 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3379 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3380 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3381 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3383 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3385 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3387 * Released nmh-0.01.
3389 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3390 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3391 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3394 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3396 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3399 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3401 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use

3413 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3414 speed up -recurse option.
3416 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3417 yet, but it compiles :-)
3419 * Changed default location for install to
3420 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3421 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3422 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3425 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3426 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3427 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
