1 2009-12-29 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
3 * uip/mhlistsbr.c, uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/picksbr.c: cast
4 pointers to unsigned long before casting to unsigned int
5 to avoid warnings on 64-bit about casting from pointer
6 to int of different size.
8 * uip/new.c: cast folder_len to int to avoid warning on
9 64-bit about passing a size_t to an int conversion specifier.
11 2009-12-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
13 * uip/inc.c: gcc 4.4.1 noticed that maildir could have been
14 used before initialization. In fact, if that code was ever
15 reached, maildir would never have been initialized. It's in
16 an adios call, so replaced with NULL.
18 2009-12-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
20 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: In sm_auth_sasl (), removed zeroing of
21 sasl_inbuffer because it could be used in sm_fget (). Also,
22 removed allocation of sasl_inbuffer because that was done in
23 either smtp_init () or sendmail_init ().
25 2009-01-17 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
27 * etc/mhn.defaults.sh: Never try to make mhshow start xterm.
29 2009-01-16 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
31 * test/runtest, test/tests/inc/test-deb359167,
32 test/tests/inc/test-eom-align, test/tests/manpages/test-manpages:
33 Load common.sh via absolute path, otherwise some /bin/sh
34 (e.g. dash) can't load it.
36 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/new.c, test/tests/new/test-basic: Add new
37 program, and fn/fp/unseen symlinks.
39 * test/{runtest,setup-test}: Move MH profile under Mail directory
40 so each test script will have its own to muck with, if needed.
42 * h/Makefile.in, h/crawl_folders.h, sbr/Makefile.in,
43 sbr/crawl_folders.c, uip/folder.c: Extract the folder crawling
44 code from folder.c into new crawl_folders function, using a
45 callback to assemble the folder info in folder.c. Drop compare
46 function and use strcmp instead. Rename addfold and addir to
47 add_folder and add_children (add dir vs. add folder?
50 2008-12-26 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
52 * sbr/m_getfld.c: fix two bugs which could cause us to walk off
53 the beginning of the stdio or prefix-string buffer when checking
54 for presence of the end-of-message delimiter in some situations.
55 This might cause inc to dump core if you were unlucky. (This was
57 * test/tests/inc/{md5sums,msgheader.txt,test-deb359167,
58 test-eom-align,fromline.txt,filler.txt,deb359167.mbox}: new tests
59 both for the specific problem and to try to check various alignments
60 of the eom string with the stdio buffer ending.
61 * test/common.sh: new file for common utility functions for the
62 test scripts. Moved findprog out of manpage test script into this
63 new file. Added some functions for doing progress indicators.
65 2008-12-25 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
67 * test/runtest: automatically run setup-test if it hasn't already
68 been done. Improve error handling in test script with 'set -e'.
70 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
72 * h/mh.h: raised NAMESZ from 128 to 999. RFC 2822 limits line
73 lengths to 998 characters, so a header name can be at most that long.
74 m_getfld limits header names to 2 less than NAMESZ, which is fine,
75 because header names must be followed by a colon. Add one for
78 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
80 * sbr/m_getfld.c: in warning message, use NAMESZ-2 instead of
81 NAMESZ-1 bytes because the message says "exceeds", not
82 "is greater than or equal to".
84 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
86 * docs/MAIL.FILTERING: added note on removing procmail -f or
87 -r options to try to suppress generation of a "From " line on
90 2008-08-14 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
92 * test/setup-test: Don't run autogen.sh unless needed. Build in a
93 blddir under the temporary directory so as not to interfere with
94 whatever the developer may be doing in the source directory.
95 If the temporary directory already exists, rebuild and install it.
97 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
99 * sbr/ambigsw.c: Send print_sw output to stderr. This avoids
100 strange problems with scan `pick -bogus`, not to mention being
103 * sbr/getans.c, sbr/print_help.c, uip/msh.c: Send print_sw output
106 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/print_sw.c (print_sw): Add FILE * argument
107 and send output there rather than to stdout.
109 * test/tests/pick/test-stderr: Add test that error messages don't
110 end up going to stdout.
112 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
114 * uip/pick.c: Print matching messages immediately, instead of
115 waiting until the very end to print anything.
116 Ensure valid sequence name as soon as we parse it from command,
117 instead of searching the messages first.
119 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
121 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/popi.c: Remove popi.c, which has been dead
122 since PatchSet 257 (2000/06/12 11:07:34 UTC).
124 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
126 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
129 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
131 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
133 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
134 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
137 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
138 'static' from the definitions here.
139 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
141 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
142 support get_ctinfo change).
143 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
144 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
145 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
146 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
147 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
148 suffixes, not prefixes.
149 (openMail): Explain showproc.
151 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
152 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
154 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
155 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
157 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
159 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
161 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
162 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
163 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
164 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
166 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
168 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
171 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
172 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
173 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
175 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
177 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
178 autotools in the right order
179 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
181 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
182 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
183 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
185 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
187 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
188 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
190 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
192 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
193 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
194 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
195 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
196 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
198 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
200 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
203 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
205 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
206 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
207 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
208 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
209 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
210 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
211 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
213 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
215 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
216 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
218 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
219 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
220 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
221 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
222 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
224 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
225 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
226 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
228 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
229 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
230 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
231 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
232 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
233 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
234 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
235 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
236 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
238 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
240 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
243 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
245 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
246 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
247 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
248 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
249 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
250 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
252 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
254 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
256 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
258 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
259 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
262 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
263 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
264 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
266 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
269 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
271 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
272 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
273 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
275 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
276 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
277 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
279 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
281 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
282 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
283 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
284 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
285 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
286 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
287 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
289 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
291 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
292 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
294 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
296 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
297 with multibyte support.
299 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
300 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
301 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
302 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
304 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
306 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
307 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
309 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
310 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
312 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
314 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
315 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
316 the address of a static array.
318 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
320 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
321 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
323 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
325 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
326 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
327 This allows users to masquerade with the default
328 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
329 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
330 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
333 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
335 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
336 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
337 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
338 ruserpass() has a void return type.
340 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
341 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
342 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
343 provide memmove() substitute implementation
345 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
346 source directory' feature
348 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
349 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
351 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
353 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
354 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
355 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
358 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
360 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
361 is the wrong approach.
363 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
364 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
365 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
368 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
369 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
370 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
371 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
372 broken for continued lines from the server.
374 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
376 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
377 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
379 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
381 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
383 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
386 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
388 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
390 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
392 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
393 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
394 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
395 obsolete feature of autoconf
397 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
399 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
400 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
401 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
403 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
405 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
406 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
408 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
410 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
413 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
415 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
416 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
417 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
418 following done() (should never be reached).
420 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
422 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
423 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
425 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
427 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
428 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
430 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
432 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
433 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
434 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
435 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
436 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
437 acconfig.h if you must.
439 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
441 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
442 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
443 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
444 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
446 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
448 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
451 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
453 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
454 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
455 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
456 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
457 have Content-Disposition.
459 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
461 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
464 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
466 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
467 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
469 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
471 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
472 encoded block is empty
474 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
476 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
477 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
478 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
481 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
483 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
484 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
487 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
489 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
490 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
491 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
492 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
495 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
496 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
498 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
500 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
501 function num_digits into utils.c
503 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
505 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
506 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
507 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
509 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
511 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
512 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
513 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
514 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
515 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
516 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
517 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
518 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
520 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
522 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
523 Content-Disposition header.
525 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
527 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
528 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
529 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
530 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
531 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
532 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
533 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
534 users to easily accomodate that by adding
535 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
537 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
539 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
540 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
542 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
544 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
546 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
547 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
549 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
550 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
552 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
554 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
555 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
556 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
557 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
558 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
561 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
563 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
564 widths, restoring right justification feature
566 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
568 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
569 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
570 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
572 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
575 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
577 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
578 handling multi column characters.
580 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
582 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
584 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
586 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
587 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
590 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
592 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
594 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
596 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
599 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
601 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
604 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
606 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
607 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
608 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
609 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
611 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
613 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
614 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
615 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
616 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
617 where configure's autodetection fails.
619 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
621 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
622 configure script change.
624 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
626 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
627 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
628 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
631 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
633 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
634 the context is only read once.
636 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
638 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
639 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
641 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
643 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
644 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
646 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
647 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
650 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
651 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
654 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
656 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
657 vi isn't found during build.
659 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
661 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
662 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
664 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
665 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
666 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
668 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
670 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
671 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
673 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
674 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
675 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
676 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
679 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
680 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
681 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
683 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
684 entry in the context file.
686 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
688 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
689 problems on some systems
691 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
692 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
694 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
696 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
697 sendmail isn't found during build.
699 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
701 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
703 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
705 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
706 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
708 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
709 references to the web page and mailing list locations
711 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
712 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
714 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
717 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
719 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
720 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
721 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
723 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
724 was configured with --enable-apop.
726 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
727 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
728 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
730 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
731 new versions of flex.
733 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
734 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
735 doesn't guess wrongly.
737 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
739 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
740 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
742 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
743 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
745 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
746 files with numbers as names
748 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
750 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
752 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
754 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
756 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
757 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
759 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
761 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
764 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
765 test/report error writing to stdout
767 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
769 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
771 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
772 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
773 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
775 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
776 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
777 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
779 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
781 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
782 character set used by the current locale
784 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
785 message's filename overflows an int when converted
787 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
788 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
790 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
792 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
795 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
797 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
798 from Michael Richardson.
800 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
801 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
803 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
805 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
806 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
808 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
810 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
811 find sub-parts of the specified part
813 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
815 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
816 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
817 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
818 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
819 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
820 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
821 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
824 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
826 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
827 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
828 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
831 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
832 refiling with -src option.
834 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
836 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
838 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
840 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
841 mailpath being overwritten.
843 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
845 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
846 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
847 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
848 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
849 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
850 reinitializes the tmp file string.
852 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
853 if a format string was read from the profile.
855 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
856 path for the external hook.
858 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
860 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
861 another location for ndbm.
863 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
865 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
867 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
869 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
872 136976 - Handle binary content messages
873 143427 - mh-format.man typo
874 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
875 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
876 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
877 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
878 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
879 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
880 181867 - typo for nmh.man
882 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
884 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
885 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
886 contitional code which will result in cached data to
887 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
888 and parse on the first use.
889 * Remove some unused flag bits.
891 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
893 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
894 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
896 #578 - repl leaks umask
897 #1393 - sortm core dumps
898 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
899 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
900 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
902 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
903 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
905 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
907 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
908 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
910 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
912 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
913 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
914 to docs/README.about.
916 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
918 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
920 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
921 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
922 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
923 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
926 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
928 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
929 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
930 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
931 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
932 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
933 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
936 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
937 summary configure prints out.
939 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
940 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
941 subjectively more readable) format.
943 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
945 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
948 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
950 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
951 19xx when it's not necessary.
953 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
955 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
956 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
959 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
960 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
961 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
962 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
963 the man pages correctly.
965 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
967 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
969 * Finished manpages ali-prev
971 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
972 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
973 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
976 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
977 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
978 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
979 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
981 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
983 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
984 the formatting rules I've been using.
988 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
990 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
991 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
992 used in the manpages.
994 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
995 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
996 read in the contents of the file as the variable
999 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
1000 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
1001 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
1002 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
1003 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
1004 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
1005 bold flags and italicized parameters.
1007 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1009 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
1010 --with-locking option.
1012 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
1013 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
1014 information was not being communicated to the
1015 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
1016 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
1017 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
1018 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
1019 undefined symbols problems.
1021 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
1022 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
1023 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
1024 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
1025 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
1026 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
1027 for a genuine krb4 installation.
1029 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1031 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
1032 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1034 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1036 * Made a new ./configure option called
1037 "--with-locking" that allows the file
1038 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
1039 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
1041 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
1042 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
1043 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
1044 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
1045 the user that these are the valid options, and
1046 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
1049 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1051 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
1052 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
1053 committed to supporting flex only, since
1054 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
1055 string, as well as other problems documented
1056 below and on nmh-workers.
1058 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
1059 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
1060 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
1063 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
1064 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
1066 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1068 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
1069 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
1070 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
1072 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1074 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
1075 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1077 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1079 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
1080 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
1081 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
1082 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
1083 couldn't correctly identify them.
1085 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1087 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
1088 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
1089 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
1090 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
1091 not depending on an external archive.
1093 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
1094 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
1095 mts/generic is no longer built.
1097 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1099 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
1100 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
1101 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
1102 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
1103 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
1104 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
1105 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
1106 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
1108 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1110 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
1111 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
1114 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1116 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
1117 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
1118 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
1121 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
1122 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1123 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1124 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1126 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1127 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1128 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1129 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1130 merged into the smtp code).
1132 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1133 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1134 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1137 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1138 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1139 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1140 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1141 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1142 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1143 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1145 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1147 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1148 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1149 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1150 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1151 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1152 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1153 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1154 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1155 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1156 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1157 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1159 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1162 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1163 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1164 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1165 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1166 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1167 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1168 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1169 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1171 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1173 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1174 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1175 able to access them.
1177 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1179 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1180 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1182 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1184 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1185 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1186 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1187 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1189 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1191 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1192 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1193 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1194 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1195 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1197 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1198 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1200 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1202 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1204 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1205 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1206 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1207 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1209 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1210 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1211 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1212 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1214 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1215 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1216 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1217 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1219 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1220 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1221 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1223 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1225 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1226 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1227 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1228 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1229 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1230 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1233 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1234 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1236 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1237 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1239 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1241 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1243 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1245 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1246 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1247 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1248 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1250 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1252 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1253 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1255 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1257 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1259 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1260 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1263 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1265 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1266 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1267 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1268 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1270 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1272 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1273 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1274 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1275 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1276 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1278 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1280 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1281 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1283 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1284 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1286 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1288 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1290 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1291 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1292 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1294 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1296 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1299 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1300 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1302 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1304 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1305 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1307 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1309 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1310 inc does not need to be setgid.
1312 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1314 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1315 library, as found on Debian systems.
1317 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1319 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1321 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1322 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1323 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1324 case-insensitivity flag.
1326 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1328 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1329 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1331 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1333 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1334 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1335 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1336 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1337 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1338 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1339 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1340 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1341 getting moved aside).
1343 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1344 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1346 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1348 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1349 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1350 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1351 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1352 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1353 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1354 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1355 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1356 the prototype, but never sets it.
1358 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1359 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1360 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1361 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1362 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1363 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1365 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1366 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1367 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1368 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1369 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1371 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1373 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1374 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1377 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1378 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1379 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1380 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1381 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1382 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1383 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1385 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1387 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1389 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1390 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1391 this works on other systems.
1393 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1395 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1396 checks for write failures.
1398 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1400 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1402 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1405 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1407 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1409 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1411 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1412 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1415 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1417 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1418 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1419 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1420 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1422 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1424 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1425 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1428 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1429 as well as Makefiles.
1431 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1433 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1434 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1435 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1436 should make maintainability easier.
1438 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1439 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1440 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1441 whatever you know works.
1443 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1445 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1446 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1447 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1449 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1450 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1451 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1452 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1454 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1455 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1456 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1458 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1459 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1460 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1461 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1462 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1464 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1465 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1466 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1467 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1468 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1469 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1470 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1471 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1472 from the BSD version.
1474 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1475 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1476 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1478 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1479 in ruserpass.c also.
1481 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1484 This happens on solaris:
1487 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1488 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1492 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1494 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1495 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1497 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1499 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1500 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1501 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1502 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1503 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1504 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1505 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1506 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1507 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1508 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1509 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1511 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1512 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1513 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1514 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1515 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1516 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1519 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1520 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1521 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1522 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1523 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1525 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1526 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1528 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1530 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1531 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1532 to stdin, such as exmh.
1534 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1535 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1536 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1539 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1541 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1542 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1543 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1544 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1545 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1546 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1547 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1549 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1551 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1552 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1554 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1556 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1557 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1559 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1561 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1564 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1565 along with any -host or -user option.
1567 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1569 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1571 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1572 process was fresh in my mind.
1574 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1577 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1579 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1581 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1583 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1586 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1587 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1588 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1589 part of the program's name.
1591 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1592 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1595 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1597 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1598 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1599 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1600 single-character format would cause programs using this
1601 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1602 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1603 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1604 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1607 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1609 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1610 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1611 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1612 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1613 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1614 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1616 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1617 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1618 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1619 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1620 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1621 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1622 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1623 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1625 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1626 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1627 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1628 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1629 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1630 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1631 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1632 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1633 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1634 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1636 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1638 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1639 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1641 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1642 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1644 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1649 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1651 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1652 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1653 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1654 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1656 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1657 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1658 problem in the routine.
1660 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1662 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1663 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1665 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1666 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1667 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1670 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1672 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1673 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1674 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1675 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1676 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1677 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1678 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1679 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1680 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1681 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1683 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1685 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1686 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1687 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1688 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1689 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1690 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1691 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1692 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1693 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1694 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1695 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1696 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1698 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1699 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1700 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1701 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1702 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1704 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1707 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1709 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1710 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1711 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1712 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1715 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1717 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1719 * Applied, after some finessing,
1720 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1722 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1724 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1726 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1727 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1728 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1729 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1731 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1733 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1734 forgetting to do so!).
1736 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1737 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1738 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1739 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1740 arguments to enable all three types.
1742 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1743 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1745 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1746 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1747 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1748 updated copy of mts.conf.
1750 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1752 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1753 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1754 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1756 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1758 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1760 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1761 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1762 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1764 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1765 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1766 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1768 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1769 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1770 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1772 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1774 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1776 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1778 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1780 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1781 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1783 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1784 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1785 certain suffix to run properly.
1787 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1788 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1789 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1791 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1792 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1793 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1794 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1795 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1796 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1797 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1799 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1801 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1802 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1803 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1804 until some year far in the future).
1806 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1808 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1810 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1811 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1813 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1814 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1817 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1819 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1820 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1821 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1822 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1823 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1824 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1826 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1828 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1830 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1831 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1832 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1834 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1835 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1836 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1837 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1838 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1839 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1842 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1843 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1844 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1845 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1846 of masquerading individually.
1848 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1849 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1850 GECOS field delimiters.
1852 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1854 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1855 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1856 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1857 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1858 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1859 and explaining the feature.
1861 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1863 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1864 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1867 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1868 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1869 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1871 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1872 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1873 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1874 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1876 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1877 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1878 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1881 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1883 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1884 code to be executed.
1886 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1888 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1890 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1891 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1892 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1893 quotes embedded in them.
1895 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1897 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1898 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1899 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1900 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1901 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1902 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1903 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1906 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1907 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1908 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1909 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1910 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1912 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1914 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1916 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1917 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1918 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1919 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1921 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1924 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1926 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1928 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1930 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1931 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1932 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1934 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1937 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1939 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1940 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1941 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1942 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1943 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1944 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1946 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1947 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1949 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1951 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1954 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1956 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1957 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1958 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1961 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1962 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1963 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1964 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1965 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1966 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1967 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1968 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1969 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1970 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1971 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1972 processing that post has).
1974 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1976 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1977 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1978 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1979 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1980 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1981 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1984 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1986 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1988 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1990 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1992 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1993 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1995 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1998 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2000 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
2001 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
2002 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
2005 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2007 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
2008 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
2009 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
2010 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
2011 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
2012 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
2014 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2016 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
2018 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2020 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
2021 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
2022 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
2023 caught again. This works for now.
2025 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
2027 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2029 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
2030 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
2032 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2034 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
2035 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
2037 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
2039 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
2041 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2043 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
2044 changes. Both need more cleanup.
2046 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2048 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
2049 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
2050 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
2051 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
2052 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
2055 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2057 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
2058 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
2059 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
2061 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
2062 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
2065 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2067 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
2068 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
2069 to a directory on another device with more free space.
2071 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2073 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
2074 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
2076 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2078 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
2081 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
2082 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
2084 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
2085 macros, regardless of platform.
2087 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
2088 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2090 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
2091 with x-conversions=gzip.
2093 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2095 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
2098 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
2099 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
2100 implicit definition of ioctl().
2102 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
2103 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
2104 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
2105 want to mess with them.
2107 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2109 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
2110 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
2112 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
2113 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2115 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
2116 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
2117 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
2119 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
2120 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
2121 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2123 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2124 function initgroups.
2126 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2129 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2130 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2133 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2134 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2137 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2138 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2142 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2144 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2145 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2146 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2148 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2149 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2151 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2153 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2155 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2156 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2157 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2158 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2160 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2161 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2163 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2165 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2167 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2169 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2170 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2172 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2174 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2175 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2177 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2178 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2179 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2180 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2182 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2183 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2185 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2187 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2188 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2190 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2192 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2193 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2196 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2198 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2200 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2202 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2203 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2205 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2206 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2207 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2209 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2210 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2211 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2213 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2214 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2215 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2217 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2218 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2221 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2222 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2224 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2225 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2227 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2228 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2230 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2231 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2232 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2234 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2235 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2237 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2238 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2239 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2241 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2242 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2245 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2246 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2248 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2249 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2250 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2251 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2253 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2254 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2256 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2260 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2261 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2262 would not be changed.
2264 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2265 one from the Apache web server.
2267 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2268 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2270 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2271 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2272 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2274 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2276 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2278 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2279 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2282 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2283 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2284 removes a bad race condition.
2286 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2289 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2290 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2291 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2293 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2294 sequence information.
2296 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2297 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2299 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2302 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2305 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2307 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2308 interpret 034 as octal.
2310 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2312 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2313 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2315 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2316 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2318 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2319 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2321 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2322 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2324 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2325 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2327 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2328 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2329 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2331 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2332 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2333 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2335 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2337 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2339 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2340 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2343 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2345 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2346 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2348 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2349 header field information.
2351 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2352 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2354 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2355 values when parsing a content.
2357 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2358 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2360 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2361 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2363 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2364 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2366 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2367 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2369 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2371 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2373 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2375 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2377 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2378 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2381 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2382 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2384 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2385 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2386 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2387 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2388 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2389 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2392 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2394 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2395 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2396 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2398 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2399 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2401 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2403 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2404 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2405 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2406 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2408 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2409 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2412 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2413 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2414 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2415 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2418 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2420 * Released nmh-0.27.
2422 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2423 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2425 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2426 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2427 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2428 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2431 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2432 mhbuild returns an error.
2434 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2435 rename the draft file.
2437 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2438 use a global variable.
2440 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2441 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2443 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2444 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2446 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2447 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2448 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2450 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2451 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2453 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2454 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2457 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2458 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2461 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2462 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2464 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2465 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2466 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2468 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2469 to new function output_content_folder.
2471 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2472 new function output_content_file.
2474 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2475 to new function parse_format_string.
2477 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2478 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2479 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2480 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2482 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2483 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2484 message/external file from ftp.
2486 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2487 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2488 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2490 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2491 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2494 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2497 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2498 new file mhstoresbr.c
2500 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2503 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2504 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2506 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2507 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2509 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2510 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2511 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2513 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2515 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2517 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2518 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2521 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2522 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2524 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2527 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2529 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2531 * Released nmh-0.26.
2533 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2534 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2535 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2536 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2538 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2539 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2540 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2541 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2542 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2544 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2545 But it is not on by default.
2547 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2548 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2550 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2552 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2554 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2556 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2558 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2559 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2561 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563 * Released nmh-0.25.
2565 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2566 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2567 uses the original name of the library.
2569 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2570 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2573 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2574 list_content and list_debug.
2576 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2578 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2579 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2581 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2583 * Released nmh-0.24.
2585 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2587 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2588 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2590 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2591 large sequence line.
2593 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2595 * Released nmh-0.23.
2597 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2599 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2600 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2601 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2602 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2604 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2605 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2608 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2610 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2612 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2614 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2615 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2617 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2618 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2620 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2621 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2623 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2624 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2626 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2628 * Released nmh-0.22.
2630 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2631 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2633 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2635 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2636 mh-profile(5) man page.
2638 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2639 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2641 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2645 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2646 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2648 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2650 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2651 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2652 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2654 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2655 source message on the standard input.
2657 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2659 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2660 rather than -rfc934mode.
2662 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2663 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2666 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2667 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2669 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2672 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2674 * Released nmh-0.21.
2676 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2677 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2679 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2682 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2683 to use for text contents.
2685 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2687 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2689 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2691 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2693 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2694 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2696 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2697 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2698 spaces between encoded word are.
2700 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2702 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2703 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2705 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2706 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2707 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2709 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2711 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2712 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2714 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2716 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2718 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2719 ISO-8859-X character set.
2721 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2724 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2725 permissions, not write permissions.
2727 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2728 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2730 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2733 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2735 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2737 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2738 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2740 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2741 message contains valid character set.
2743 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2744 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2746 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2747 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2749 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2750 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2751 between an encoded word and normal text.
2753 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2754 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2756 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2757 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2759 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2762 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2763 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2766 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2767 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2769 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2770 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2772 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2774 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2776 * Released nmh-0.20.
2778 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2780 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2782 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2783 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2784 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2786 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2787 and the To: line was missing.
2789 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2791 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2793 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2795 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2796 watch the POP transaction.
2798 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2799 first, and use it if available.
2801 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2802 first, and use it if available.
2804 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2806 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2808 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2809 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2810 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2813 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2814 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2815 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2817 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2818 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2821 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2823 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2824 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2826 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2828 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2829 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2831 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2832 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2833 message to which you are replying.
2835 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2836 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2837 making group replies.
2839 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2841 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Released nmh-0.19.
2845 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2846 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2848 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2849 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2850 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2851 to the end of the man page.
2853 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2854 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2855 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2856 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2857 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2858 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2860 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2863 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2864 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2865 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2867 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2868 the next available number above the message number you wish
2871 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2872 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2874 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2875 file sbr/seq_print.c
2877 * flist will now update the current folder.
2879 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2880 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2881 but now undocumented.
2883 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2886 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2887 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2889 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2891 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2892 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2894 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2896 * Released nmh-0.18.
2898 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2899 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2900 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2902 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2903 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2905 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2906 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2907 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2908 previous public/private status.
2910 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2913 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2916 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2917 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2918 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2920 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2921 take option to determine whether it should get current
2922 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2923 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2925 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2927 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2928 wait for stopped processes.
2930 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2931 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2933 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2935 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2937 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2938 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2940 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2941 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2943 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2944 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2945 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2946 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2948 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2951 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2954 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2956 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2957 the debugging output.
2959 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2960 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2962 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2964 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2966 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2967 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2969 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2971 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2972 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2973 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2974 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2975 in the given sequence.
2977 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2978 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2979 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2980 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2981 subdirectories of a given directory.
2983 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2984 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2985 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2987 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2988 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2990 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2992 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2995 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2996 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2997 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2999 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
3000 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
3001 are calculated at runtime.
3003 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3005 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
3007 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
3008 about checking for global mh.profile.
3010 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
3011 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
3012 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
3013 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
3014 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
3015 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
3017 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
3018 adding message to folder itself.
3020 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
3021 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
3022 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
3025 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
3026 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
3029 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
3030 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
3031 is the same as the direct smtp code).
3033 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
3034 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
3036 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
3037 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
3038 code to use it yet).
3040 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3042 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
3044 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
3045 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
3047 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
3048 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
3050 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
3052 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
3055 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3057 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
3059 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
3061 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
3063 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
3064 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
3066 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
3068 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
3070 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
3072 * Removed all the code for BERK.
3074 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
3076 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
3077 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
3079 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
3080 configuration files.
3082 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
3084 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3086 * Released nmh-0.17.
3088 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
3090 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
3091 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
3093 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
3096 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
3097 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
3099 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
3100 number of refiled message.
3102 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
3104 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
3105 for return value of wait().
3107 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
3109 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3111 * Released nmh-0.16.
3113 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3115 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
3117 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
3118 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
3119 deal with binary messages, yet).
3121 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3123 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3125 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3126 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3127 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3128 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3129 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3130 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3132 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3133 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3135 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3136 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3138 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3139 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3142 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3144 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3146 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3147 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3150 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3153 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3155 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3156 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3157 which used unsigned chars by default.
3159 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3161 * Released nmh-0.15.
3163 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
3164 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
3166 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
3168 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3170 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3173 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3174 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3175 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3177 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3178 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3180 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3182 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3183 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3185 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3186 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3187 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3188 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3190 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3191 and put in own subroutine.
3193 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3194 and put in own subroutine.
3196 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3197 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3198 refile.c to use new routine.
3200 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3202 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3204 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3207 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3208 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3209 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3211 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3214 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3215 adding message to sequence.
3217 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3218 corresponding file in sbr.
3220 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3223 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3225 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3226 all selected messages from a sequence.
3228 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3229 selected messages to a sequence.
3231 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3234 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3236 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3237 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3239 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3241 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
3242 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
3244 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3246 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
3247 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

3251 * Released nmh-0.14.
3253 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
3254 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
3256 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3258 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3259 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3260 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3261 environment variable.
3263 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3264 draft folder facility in nmh.
3266 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
3269 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

3273 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
3276 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3278 * Released nmh-0.13.
3280 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3281 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3282 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3283 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3286 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3287 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3289 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3291 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3292 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3294 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3296 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
3297 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
3299 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3301 * Released nmh-0.12.
3303 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
3305 * Released nmh-0.11.
3307 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3309 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
3310 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
3312 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
3313 mp->attrstats with macros.
3315 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
3318 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3321 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3322 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3324 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3325 will suppress the display of the message header.
3327 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3329 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3330 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3332 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3334 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3336 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3338 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3339 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3341 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3342 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3344 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3346 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3348 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3349 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3351 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3352 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3354 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3356 * Released nmh-0.10.

3363 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3365 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3366 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3368 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3369 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3371 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3372 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3374 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3376 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3377 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3379 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3381 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3382 of missing tabs in regex.
3384 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3386 * Released nmh-0.09.

3404 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3406 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted

3409 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3411 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3412 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3414 * Released nmh-0.08.
3416 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3417 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3418 locking database itself.
3420 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3422 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3424 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3425 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3428 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3429 rather than mmdf format.
3431 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3432 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3433 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3434 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3436 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3438 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3440 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3443 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3444 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3445 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3447 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3448 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3449 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3451 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3453 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3454 can still easily change this in config.h).
3456 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3457 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3458 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3460 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3462 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3463 than tzset and external timezone variable.
3465 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3467 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

3474 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3476 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3477 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3479 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3480 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3483 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3484 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3487 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3489 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3491 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3493 * Added configure check for tzset.

3497 * Released nmh-0.06.
3499 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3500 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3502 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3503 many such machines around anymore.
3505 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3506 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3508 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3509 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3511 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3513 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3514 pre-generated version if necessary.
3516 * Released nmh-0.05.
3518 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3519 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3520 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3521 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3523 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3524 be linked in one pass.
3526 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3528 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3529 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3531 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3533 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3535 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3537 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3538 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3539 become the current folder.
3541 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3543 * Released nmh-0.04.
3545 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3548 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3550 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3551 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3552 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3554 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3556 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3557 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3559 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3561 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3562 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3565 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3566 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3568 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3570 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3571 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3572 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3573 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3574 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3575 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3577 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3579 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3580 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3582 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3583 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3585 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3587 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3588 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3590 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3592 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3593 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3594 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3596 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3598 * Released nmh-0.03.
3600 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3601 .mh_sequence file existed.
3603 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3604 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3606 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3607 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3610 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3612 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3615 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3617 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3618 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3619 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3621 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3623 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3624 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3625 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3627 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3629 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3630 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3632 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3634 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3636 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3637 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3638 directory from where the source code is located.
3640 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3642 * Released nmh-0.02.
3644 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3649 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3651 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3652 and sys_nerr directly.
3654 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3656 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3658 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3660 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3662 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3663 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3664 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3665 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3666 rather than in script.
3668 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3670 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3672 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3673 macro defined on Solaris.
3675 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3677 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3678 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3680 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3681 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3682 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3683 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3686 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3688 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3689 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3691 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3694 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3696 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3698 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3699 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3701 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3703 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3704 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3706 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3708 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3709 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3710 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3711 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3712 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3713 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3715 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3717 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3719 * Released nmh-0.01.
3721 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3722 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3723 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3726 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3728 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3731 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3733 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3734 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3736 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3738 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3739 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3740 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3741 script to find_program.
3743 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3745 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3746 speed up -recurse option.
3748 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3749 yet, but it compiles :-)
3751 * Changed default location for install to
3752 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3753 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3754 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3757 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3758 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3759 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
