1 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Fixes ported from trunk:
5 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
6 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
7 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
10 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
11 is the wrong approach.
13 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
14 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
15 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
18 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
19 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
20 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
21 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
22 broken for continued lines from the server.
24 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
26 * Port fix from trunk for SASL not working with newer libsasl.
28 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
30 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
32 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
34 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
35 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
36 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
37 obsolete feature of autoconf
39 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
41 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
42 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
43 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
45 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
47 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
48 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
50 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
52 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
55 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
57 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
58 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
59 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
60 following done() (should never be reached).
62 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
64 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
65 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
67 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
69 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
70 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
72 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
74 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
75 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
76 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
77 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
78 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
79 acconfig.h if you must.
81 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
83 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
84 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
85 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
86 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
88 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
90 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
93 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
95 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
96 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
97 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
98 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
99 have Content-Disposition.
101 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
103 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
106 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
108 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
109 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
111 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
113 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
114 encoded block is empty
116 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
118 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
119 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
120 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
123 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
125 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
126 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
129 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
131 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
132 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
133 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
134 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
137 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
138 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
140 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
142 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
143 function num_digits into utils.c
145 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
147 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
148 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
149 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
151 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
153 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
154 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
155 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
156 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
157 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
158 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
159 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
160 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
162 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
164 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
165 Content-Disposition header.
167 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
169 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
170 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
171 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
172 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
173 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
174 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
175 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
176 users to easily accomodate that by adding
177 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
179 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
181 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
182 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
184 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
186 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
188 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
189 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
191 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
192 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
194 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
196 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
197 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
198 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
199 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
200 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
203 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
205 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
206 widths, restoring right justification feature
208 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
210 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
211 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
212 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
214 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
217 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
219 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
220 handling multi column characters.
222 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
224 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
226 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
228 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
229 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
232 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
234 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
236 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
238 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
241 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
243 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
246 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
248 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
249 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
250 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
251 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
253 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
255 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
256 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
257 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
258 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
259 where configure's autodetection fails.
261 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
263 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
264 configure script change.
266 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
268 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
269 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
270 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
273 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
275 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
276 the context is only read once.
278 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
280 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
281 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
283 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
285 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
286 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
288 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
289 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
292 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
293 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
296 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
298 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
299 vi isn't found during build.
301 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
303 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
304 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
306 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
307 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
308 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
310 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
312 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
313 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
315 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
316 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
317 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
318 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
321 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
322 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
323 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
325 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
326 entry in the context file.
328 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
330 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
331 problems on some systems
333 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
334 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
336 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
338 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
339 sendmail isn't found during build.
341 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
343 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
345 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
347 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
348 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
350 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
351 references to the web page and mailing list locations
353 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
354 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
356 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
359 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
361 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
362 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
363 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
365 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
366 was configured with --enable-apop.
368 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
369 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
370 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
372 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
373 new versions of flex.
375 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
376 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
377 doesn't guess wrongly.
379 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
381 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
382 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
384 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
385 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
387 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
388 files with numbers as names
390 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
392 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
394 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
396 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
398 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
399 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
401 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
403 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
406 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
407 test/report error writing to stdout
409 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
411 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
413 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
414 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
415 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
417 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
418 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
419 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
421 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
423 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
424 character set used by the current locale
426 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
427 message's filename overflows an int when converted
429 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
430 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
432 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
434 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
437 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
439 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
440 from Michael Richardson.
442 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
443 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
445 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
447 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
448 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
450 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
452 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
453 find sub-parts of the specified part
455 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
457 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
458 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
459 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
460 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
461 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
462 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
463 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
466 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
468 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
469 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
470 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
473 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
474 refiling with -src option.
476 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
478 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
480 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
482 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
483 mailpath being overwritten.
485 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
487 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
488 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
489 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
490 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
491 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
492 reinitializes the tmp file string.
494 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
495 if a format string was read from the profile.
497 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
498 path for the external hook.
500 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
502 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
503 another location for ndbm.
505 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
507 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
509 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
511 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
514 136976 - Handle binary content messages
515 143427 - mh-format.man typo
516 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
517 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
518 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
519 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
520 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
521 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
522 181867 - typo for nmh.man
524 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
526 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
527 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
528 contitional code which will result in cached data to
529 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
530 and parse on the first use.
531 * Remove some unused flag bits.
533 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
535 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
536 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
538 #578 - repl leaks umask
539 #1393 - sortm core dumps
540 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
541 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
542 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
544 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
545 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
547 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
549 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
550 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
552 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
554 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
555 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
556 to docs/README.about.
558 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
560 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
562 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
563 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
564 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
565 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
568 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
570 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
571 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
572 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
573 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
574 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
575 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
578 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
579 summary configure prints out.
581 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
582 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
583 subjectively more readable) format.
585 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
587 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
590 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
592 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
593 19xx when it's not necessary.
595 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
597 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
598 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
601 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
602 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
603 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
604 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
605 the man pages correctly.
607 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
609 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
611 * Finished manpages ali-prev
613 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
614 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
615 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
618 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
619 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
620 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
621 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
623 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
625 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
626 the formatting rules I've been using.
630 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
632 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
633 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
634 used in the manpages.
636 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
637 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
638 read in the contents of the file as the variable
641 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
642 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
643 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
644 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
645 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
646 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
647 bold flags and italicized parameters.
649 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
651 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
652 --with-locking option.
654 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
655 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
656 information was not being communicated to the
657 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
658 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
659 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
660 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
661 undefined symbols problems.
663 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
664 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
665 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
666 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
667 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
668 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
669 for a genuine krb4 installation.
671 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
673 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
674 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
676 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
678 * Made a new ./configure option called
679 "--with-locking" that allows the file
680 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
681 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
683 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
684 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
685 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
686 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
687 the user that these are the valid options, and
688 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
691 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
693 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
694 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
695 committed to supporting flex only, since
696 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
697 string, as well as other problems documented
698 below and on nmh-workers.
700 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
701 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
702 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
705 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
706 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
708 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
710 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
711 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
712 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
714 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
716 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
717 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
719 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
721 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
722 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
723 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
724 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
725 couldn't correctly identify them.
727 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
729 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
730 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
731 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
732 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
733 not depending on an external archive.
735 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
736 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
737 mts/generic is no longer built.
739 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
741 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
742 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
743 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
744 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
745 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
746 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
747 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
748 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
750 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
752 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
753 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
756 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
758 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
759 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
760 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
763 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
764 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
765 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
766 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
768 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
769 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
770 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
771 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
772 merged into the smtp code).
774 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
775 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
776 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
779 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
780 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
781 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
782 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
783 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
784 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
785 in the appropriate Makefile.in
787 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
789 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
790 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
791 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
792 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
793 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
794 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
795 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
796 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
797 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
798 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
799 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
801 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
803 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
804 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
805 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
806 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
807 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
808 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
809 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
810 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
811 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
813 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
815 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
816 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
819 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
821 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
822 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
824 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
826 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
827 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
828 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
829 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
831 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
833 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
834 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
835 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
836 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
837 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
839 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
840 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
842 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
844 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
846 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
847 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
848 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
849 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
851 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
852 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
853 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
854 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
856 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
857 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
858 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
859 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
861 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
862 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
863 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
865 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
867 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
868 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
869 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
870 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
871 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
872 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
875 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
876 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
878 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
879 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
881 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
883 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
885 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
887 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
888 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
889 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
890 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
892 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
894 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
895 be easily changed from "," to "#".
897 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
899 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
901 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
902 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
905 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
907 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
908 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
909 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
910 but not for the subsequent data stream.
912 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
914 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
915 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
916 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
917 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
918 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
920 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
922 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
923 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
925 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
926 cat, also define lorder as echo.
928 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
930 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
932 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
933 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
934 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
936 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
938 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
941 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
942 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
944 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
946 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
947 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
949 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
951 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
952 inc does not need to be setgid.
954 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
956 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
957 library, as found on Debian systems.
959 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
961 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
963 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
964 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
965 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
966 case-insensitivity flag.
968 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
970 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
971 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
973 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
975 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
976 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
977 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
978 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
979 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
980 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
981 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
982 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
983 getting moved aside).
985 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
986 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
988 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
990 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
991 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
992 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
993 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
994 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
995 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
996 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
997 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
998 the prototype, but never sets it.
1000 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1001 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1002 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1003 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1004 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1005 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1007 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1008 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1009 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1010 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1011 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1013 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1015 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1016 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1019 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1020 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1021 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1022 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1023 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1024 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1025 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1027 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1029 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1031 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1032 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1033 this works on other systems.
1035 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1037 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1038 checks for write failures.
1040 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1042 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1044 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1047 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1049 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1051 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1053 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1054 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1057 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1059 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1060 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1061 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1062 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1064 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1066 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1067 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1070 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1071 as well as Makefiles.
1073 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1075 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1076 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1077 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1078 should make maintainability easier.
1080 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1081 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1082 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1083 whatever you know works.
1085 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1087 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1088 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1089 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1091 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1092 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1093 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1094 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1096 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1097 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1098 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1100 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1101 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1102 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1103 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1104 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1106 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1107 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1108 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1109 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1110 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1111 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1112 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1113 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1114 from the BSD version.
1116 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1117 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1118 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1120 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1121 in ruserpass.c also.
1123 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1126 This happens on solaris:
1129 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1130 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1134 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1136 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1137 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1139 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1141 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1142 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1143 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1144 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1145 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1146 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1147 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1148 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1149 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1150 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1151 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1153 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1154 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1155 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1156 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1157 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1158 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1161 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1162 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1163 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1164 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1165 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1167 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1168 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1170 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1172 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1173 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1174 to stdin, such as exmh.
1176 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1177 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1178 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1181 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1183 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1184 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1185 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1186 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1187 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1188 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1189 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1191 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1193 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1194 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1196 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1198 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1199 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1201 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1203 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1206 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1207 along with any -host or -user option.
1209 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1211 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1213 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1214 process was fresh in my mind.
1216 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1218 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1219 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1221 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1223 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1225 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1228 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1229 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1230 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1231 part of the program's name.
1233 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1234 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1237 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1239 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1240 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1241 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1242 single-character format would cause programs using this
1243 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1244 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1245 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1246 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1249 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1251 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1252 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1253 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1254 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1255 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1256 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1258 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1259 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1260 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1261 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1262 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1263 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1264 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1265 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1267 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1268 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1269 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1270 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1271 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1272 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1273 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1274 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1275 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1276 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1278 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1280 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1281 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1283 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1284 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1286 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1291 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1293 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1294 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1295 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1296 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1298 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1299 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1300 problem in the routine.
1302 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1304 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1305 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1307 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1308 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1309 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1312 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1314 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1315 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1316 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1317 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1318 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1319 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1320 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1321 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1322 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1323 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1325 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1327 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1328 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1329 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1330 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1331 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1332 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1333 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1334 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1335 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1336 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1337 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1338 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1340 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1341 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1342 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1343 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1344 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1346 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1349 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1351 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1352 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1353 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1354 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1357 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1359 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1361 * Applied, after some finessing,
1362 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1364 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1366 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1368 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1369 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1370 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1371 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1373 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1375 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1376 forgetting to do so!).
1378 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1379 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1380 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1381 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1382 arguments to enable all three types.
1384 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1385 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1387 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1388 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1389 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1390 updated copy of mts.conf.
1392 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1394 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1395 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1396 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1398 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1400 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1402 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1403 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1404 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1406 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1407 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1408 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1410 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1411 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1412 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1414 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1416 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1418 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1420 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1422 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1423 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1425 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1426 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1427 certain suffix to run properly.
1429 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1430 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1431 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1433 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1434 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1435 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1436 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1437 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1438 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1439 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1441 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1443 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1444 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1445 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1446 until some year far in the future).
1448 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1450 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1452 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1453 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1455 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1456 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1459 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1461 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1462 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1463 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1464 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1465 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1466 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1468 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1470 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1472 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1473 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1474 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1476 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1477 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1478 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1479 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1480 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1481 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1484 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1485 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1486 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1487 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1488 of masquerading individually.
1490 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1491 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1492 GECOS field delimiters.
1494 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1496 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1497 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1498 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1499 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1500 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1501 and explaining the feature.
1503 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1505 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1506 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1509 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1510 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1511 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1513 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1514 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1515 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1516 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1518 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1519 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1520 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1523 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1525 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1526 code to be executed.
1528 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1530 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1532 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1533 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1534 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1535 quotes embedded in them.
1537 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1539 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1540 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1541 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1542 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1543 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1544 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1545 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1548 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1549 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1550 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1551 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1552 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1554 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1556 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1558 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1559 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1560 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1561 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1563 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1566 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1568 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1570 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1572 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1573 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1574 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1576 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1579 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1581 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1582 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1583 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1584 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1585 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1586 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1588 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1589 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1591 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1593 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1596 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1598 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1599 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1600 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1603 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1604 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1605 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1606 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1607 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1608 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1609 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1610 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1611 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1612 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1613 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1614 processing that post has).
1616 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1618 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1619 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1620 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1621 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1622 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1623 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1626 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1628 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1630 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1632 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1634 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1635 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1637 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1640 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1642 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1643 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1644 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1647 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1649 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1650 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1651 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1652 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1653 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1654 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1656 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1658 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1660 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1662 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1663 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1664 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1665 caught again. This works for now.
1667 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1669 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1671 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1672 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1674 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1676 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1677 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1679 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1681 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1683 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1685 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1686 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1688 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1690 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1691 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1692 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1693 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1694 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1697 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1699 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1700 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1701 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1703 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1704 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1707 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1709 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1710 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1711 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1713 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1715 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1716 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1718 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1720 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1723 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1724 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1726 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1727 macros, regardless of platform.
1729 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1730 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1732 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1733 with x-conversions=gzip.
1735 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1737 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1740 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1741 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1742 implicit definition of ioctl().
1744 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1745 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1746 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1747 want to mess with them.
1749 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1751 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1752 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1754 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1755 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1757 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1758 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1759 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1761 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1762 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1763 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1765 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1766 function initgroups.
1768 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1771 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1772 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1775 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1776 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1779 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1780 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1784 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1786 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1787 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1788 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1790 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1791 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1793 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1795 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1797 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1798 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1799 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1800 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1802 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1803 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1805 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1807 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1809 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1811 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1812 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1814 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1816 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1817 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1819 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1820 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1821 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1822 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1824 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1825 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1827 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1829 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1830 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1832 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1834 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1835 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1838 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1840 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1842 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1844 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1845 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1847 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1848 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1849 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1851 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1852 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1853 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1855 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1856 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1857 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1859 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1860 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1863 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1864 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1866 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1867 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1869 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1870 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1872 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1873 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1874 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1876 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1877 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1879 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1880 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1881 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1883 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1884 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1887 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1888 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1890 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1891 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1892 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1893 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1895 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1896 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1898 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1902 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1903 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1904 would not be changed.
1906 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1907 one from the Apache web server.
1909 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1910 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1912 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1913 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1914 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1916 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1918 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1920 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1921 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1924 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1925 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1926 removes a bad race condition.
1928 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1931 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1932 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1933 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1935 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1936 sequence information.
1938 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1939 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1941 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1944 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1947 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1949 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1950 interpret 034 as octal.
1952 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1954 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1955 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1957 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1958 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1960 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1961 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1963 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1964 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1966 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1967 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1969 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1970 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1971 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1973 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1974 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1975 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1977 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1979 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1981 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1982 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1985 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1987 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1988 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1990 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1991 header field information.
1993 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1994 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1996 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1997 values when parsing a content.
1999 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2000 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2002 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2003 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2005 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2006 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2008 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2009 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2011 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2013 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2015 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2017 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2019 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2020 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2023 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2024 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2026 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2027 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2028 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2029 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2030 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2031 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2034 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2036 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2037 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2038 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2040 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2041 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2043 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2045 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2046 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2047 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2048 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2050 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2051 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2054 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2055 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2056 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2057 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2060 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2062 * Released nmh-0.27.
2064 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2065 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2067 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2068 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2069 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2070 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2073 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2074 mhbuild returns an error.
2076 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2077 rename the draft file.
2079 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2080 use a global variable.
2082 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2083 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2085 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2086 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2088 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2089 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2090 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2092 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2093 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2095 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2096 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2099 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2100 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2103 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2104 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2106 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2107 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2108 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2110 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2111 to new function output_content_folder.
2113 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2114 new function output_content_file.
2116 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2117 to new function parse_format_string.
2119 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2120 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2121 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2122 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2124 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2125 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2126 message/external file from ftp.
2128 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2129 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2130 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2132 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2133 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2136 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2139 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2140 new file mhstoresbr.c
2142 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2145 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2146 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2148 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2149 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2151 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2152 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2153 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2155 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2157 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2159 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2160 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2163 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2164 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2166 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2169 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2171 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2173 * Released nmh-0.26.
2175 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2176 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2177 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2178 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2180 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2181 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2182 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2183 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2184 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2186 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2187 But it is not on by default.
2189 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2190 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2192 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2194 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2196 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2198 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2200 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2201 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2203 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2205 * Released nmh-0.25.
2207 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2208 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2209 uses the original name of the library.
2211 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2212 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2215 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2216 list_content and list_debug.
2218 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2220 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2221 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2223 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225 * Released nmh-0.24.
2227 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2229 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2230 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2232 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2233 large sequence line.
2235 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2237 * Released nmh-0.23.
2239 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2241 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2242 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2243 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2244 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2246 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2247 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2250 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2252 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2254 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2256 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2257 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2259 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2260 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2262 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2263 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2265 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2266 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2268 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2270 * Released nmh-0.22.
2272 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2273 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2275 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2277 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2278 mh-profile(5) man page.
2280 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2281 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2283 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2285 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2287 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2288 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2290 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2292 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2293 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2294 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2296 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2297 source message on the standard input.
2299 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2301 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2302 rather than -rfc934mode.
2304 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2305 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2308 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2309 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2311 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2314 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2316 * Released nmh-0.21.
2318 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2319 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2321 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2324 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2325 to use for text contents.
2327 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2329 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2331 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2333 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2335 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2336 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2338 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2339 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2340 spaces between encoded word are.
2342 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2344 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2345 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2347 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2348 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2349 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2351 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2353 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2354 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2356 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2358 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2360 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2361 ISO-8859-X character set.
2363 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2366 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2367 permissions, not write permissions.
2369 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2370 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2372 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2375 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2377 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2379 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2380 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2382 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2383 message contains valid character set.
2385 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2386 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2388 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2389 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2391 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2392 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2393 between an encoded word and normal text.
2395 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2396 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2398 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2399 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2401 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2404 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2405 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2408 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2409 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2411 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2412 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2414 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2416 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2418 * Released nmh-0.20.
2420 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2422 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2424 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2425 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2426 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2428 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2429 and the To: line was missing.
2431 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2433 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2435 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2437 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2438 watch the POP transaction.
2440 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2441 first, and use it if available.
2443 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2444 first, and use it if available.
2446 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2448 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2450 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2451 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2452 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2455 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2456 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2457 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2459 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2460 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2463 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2465 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2466 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2468 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2470 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2471 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2473 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2474 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2475 message to which you are replying.
2477 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2478 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2479 making group replies.
2481 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2483 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2485 * Released nmh-0.19.
2487 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2488 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2490 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2491 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2492 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2493 to the end of the man page.
2495 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2496 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2497 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2498 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2499 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2500 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2502 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2505 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2506 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2507 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2509 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2510 the next available number above the message number you wish
2513 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2514 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2516 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2517 file sbr/seq_print.c
2519 * flist will now update the current folder.
2521 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2522 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2523 but now undocumented.
2525 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2528 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2529 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2531 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2533 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2534 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2536 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2538 * Released nmh-0.18.
2540 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2541 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2542 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2544 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2545 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2547 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2548 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2549 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2550 previous public/private status.
2552 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2555 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2558 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2559 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2560 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2562 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2563 take option to determine whether it should get current
2564 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2565 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2567 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2569 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2570 wait for stopped processes.
2572 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2573 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2575 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2577 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2579 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2580 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2582 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2583 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2585 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2586 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2587 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2588 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2590 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2593 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2596 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2598 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2599 the debugging output.
2601 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2602 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2604 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2606 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2608 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2609 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2611 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2613 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2614 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2615 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2616 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2617 in the given sequence.
2619 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2620 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2621 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2622 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2623 subdirectories of a given directory.
2625 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2626 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2627 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2629 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2630 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2632 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2634 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2637 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2638 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2639 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2641 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2642 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2643 are calculated at runtime.
2645 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2647 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2649 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2650 about checking for global mh.profile.
2652 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2653 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2654 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2655 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2656 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2657 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2659 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2660 adding message to folder itself.
2662 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2663 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2664 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2667 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2668 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2671 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2672 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2673 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2675 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2676 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2678 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2679 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2680 code to use it yet).
2682 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2686 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2687 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2689 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2690 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2692 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2694 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2697 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2699 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2701 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2703 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2705 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2706 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2708 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2710 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2712 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2714 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2716 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2718 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2719 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2721 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2722 configuration files.
2724 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2726 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2728 * Released nmh-0.17.
2730 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2732 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2733 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2735 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2738 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2739 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2741 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2742 number of refiled message.
2744 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2746 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2747 for return value of wait().
2749 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2751 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * Released nmh-0.16.
2755 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2757 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2759 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2760 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2761 deal with binary messages, yet).
2763 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2765 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2767 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2768 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2769 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2770 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2771 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2772 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2774 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2775 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2777 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2778 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2780 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2781 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2784 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2786 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2788 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2789 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2792 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2795 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2797 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2798 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2799 which used unsigned chars by default.
2801 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2803 * Released nmh-0.15.
2805 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2806 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2808 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2810 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2812 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2815 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2816 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2817 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2819 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2820 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2822 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2824 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2825 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2827 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2828 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2829 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2830 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2832 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2833 and put in own subroutine.
2835 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2836 and put in own subroutine.

2839 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2840 refile.c to use new routine.

2844 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2846 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use

2850 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2851 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2853 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2856 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2871 selected messages to a sequence.
2873 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2876 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2878 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2879 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2881 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2920 * Released nmh-0.13.
2922 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2923 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2924 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2925 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2928 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2929 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2931 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2933 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2934 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2936 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2938 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2967 will suppress the display of the message header.
2969 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2971 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2972 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2974 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2976 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2978 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2981 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2983 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2984 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2986 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2988 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2990 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2991 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2993 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2994 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2996 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2998 * Released nmh-0.10.

3008 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3010 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3011 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3013 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3018 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3019 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3021 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3023 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3051 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3054 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3056 * Released nmh-0.08.
3058 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3059 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3060 locking database itself.

3064 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3066 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3067 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3070 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3071 rather than mmdf format.
3073 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3074 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3075 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3076 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3078 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3080 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3082 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3085 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3086 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3087 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3089 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3090 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3091 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3093 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3095 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3096 can still easily change this in config.h).
3098 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3099 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3100 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3102 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3104 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3116 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3118 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3119 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3121 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3122 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3125 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3126 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3139 * Released nmh-0.06.
3141 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3142 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3144 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3145 many such machines around anymore.
3147 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3148 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3150 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3151 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3153 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3155 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3156 pre-generated version if necessary.
3158 * Released nmh-0.05.
3160 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3161 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3162 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3163 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3165 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3166 be linked in one pass.
3168 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3170 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3171 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3173 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3175 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3177 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3179 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3180 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3181 become the current folder.
3183 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3185 * Released nmh-0.04.
3187 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3190 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3192 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3193 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3194 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3196 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3198 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3199 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3201 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3203 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3204 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3207 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3208 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3210 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3212 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3213 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3214 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3215 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3216 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3217 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3219 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3221 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3222 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3224 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3225 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3227 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3229 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3230 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3232 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3234 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3235 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3236 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3238 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3240 * Released nmh-0.03.
3242 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3243 .mh_sequence file existed.
3245 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3246 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3248 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3249 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3252 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3257 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3259 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3260 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3261 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3263 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3265 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3266 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3267 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3269 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3271 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3272 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3274 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3276 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3278 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3279 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3280 directory from where the source code is located.
3282 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3284 * Released nmh-0.02.

3294 and sys_nerr directly.
3296 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3298 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3300 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3302 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3304 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3305 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3306 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3307 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3308 rather than in script.
3310 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3312 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3314 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3315 macro defined on Solaris.
3317 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3319 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3320 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3322 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3323 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3324 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3325 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3328 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3330 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3331 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3333 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3336 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3338 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3340 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3341 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3343 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3345 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3346 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3348 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3350 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3351 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3352 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3353 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3354 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3355 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3357 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3359 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3361 * Released nmh-0.01.
3363 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3364 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3365 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3368 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3370 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3373 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3375 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3376 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3378 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3380 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3381 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3382 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3383 script to find_program.
3385 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3387 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3388 speed up -recurse option.
3390 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3391 yet, but it compiles :-)
3393 * Changed default location for install to
3394 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3395 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3396 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
