1 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
6 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
8 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
9 from Michael Richardson.
11 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
12 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
14 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
16 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
17 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
19 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
21 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
22 find sub-parts of the specified part
24 2003-9-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
25 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
27 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
29 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
32 136976 - Handle binary content messages
33 143427 - mh-format.man typo
34 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
35 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
36 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
37 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
38 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
39 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
40 181867 - typo for nmh.man
42 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
44 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
45 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
46 contitional code which will result in cached data to
47 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
48 and parse on the first use.
49 * Remove some unused flag bits.
51 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
53 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
54 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
56 #578 - repl leaks umask
57 #1393 - sortm core dumps
58 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
59 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
60 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
62 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
63 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
65 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
67 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
68 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
70 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
72 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
73 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
76 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
78 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
80 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
81 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
82 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
83 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
86 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
88 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
89 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
90 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
91 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
92 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
93 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
96 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
97 summary configure prints out.
99 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
100 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
101 subjectively more readable) format.
103 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
105 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
108 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
110 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
111 19xx when it's not necessary.
113 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
115 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
116 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
119 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
120 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
121 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
122 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
123 the man pages correctly.
125 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
127 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
129 * Finished manpages ali-prev
131 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
132 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
133 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
136 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
137 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
138 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
139 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
141 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
143 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
144 the formatting rules I've been using.
148 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
150 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
151 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
152 used in the manpages.
154 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
155 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
156 read in the contents of the file as the variable
159 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
160 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
161 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
162 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
163 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
164 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
165 bold flags and italicized parameters.
167 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
169 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
170 --with-locking option.
172 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
173 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
174 information was not being communicated to the
175 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
176 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
177 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
178 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
179 undefined symbols problems.
181 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
182 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
183 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
184 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
185 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
186 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
187 for a genuine krb4 installation.
189 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
191 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
192 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
194 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
196 * Made a new ./configure option called
197 "--with-locking" that allows the file
198 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
199 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
201 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
202 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
203 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
204 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
205 the user that these are the valid options, and
206 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
209 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
211 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
212 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
213 committed to supporting flex only, since
214 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
215 string, as well as other problems documented
216 below and on nmh-workers.
218 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
219 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
220 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
223 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
224 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
226 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
228 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
229 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
230 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
232 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
234 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
235 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
237 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
239 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
240 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
241 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
242 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
243 couldn't correctly identify them.
245 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
247 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
248 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
249 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
250 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
251 not depending on an external archive.
253 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
254 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
255 mts/generic is no longer built.
257 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
259 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
260 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
261 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
262 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
263 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
264 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
265 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
266 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
268 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
271 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
274 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
276 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
277 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
278 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
281 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
282 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
283 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
284 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
286 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
287 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
288 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
289 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
290 merged into the smtp code).
292 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
293 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
294 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
297 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
298 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
299 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
300 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
301 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
302 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
303 in the appropriate Makefile.in
305 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
307 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
308 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
309 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
310 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
311 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
312 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
313 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
314 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
315 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
316 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
317 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
319 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
321 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
322 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
323 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
324 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
325 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
326 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
327 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
328 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
329 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
331 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
333 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
334 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
337 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
339 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
340 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
342 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
344 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
345 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
346 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
347 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
349 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
351 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
352 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
353 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
354 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
355 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
357 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
358 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
360 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
362 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
364 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
365 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
366 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
367 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
369 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
370 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
371 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
372 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
374 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
375 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
376 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
377 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
379 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
380 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
381 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
383 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
385 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
386 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
387 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
388 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
389 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
390 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
393 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
394 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
396 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
397 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
399 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
401 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
403 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
405 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
406 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
407 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
408 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
410 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
412 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
413 be easily changed from "," to "#".
415 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
417 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
419 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
420 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
423 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
425 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
426 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
427 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
428 but not for the subsequent data stream.
430 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
432 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
433 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
434 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
435 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
436 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
438 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
440 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
441 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
443 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
444 cat, also define lorder as echo.
446 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
448 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
450 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
451 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
452 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
454 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
456 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
459 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
460 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
462 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
464 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
465 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
467 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
469 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
470 inc does not need to be setgid.
472 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
474 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
475 library, as found on Debian systems.
477 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
479 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
481 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
482 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
483 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
484 case-insensitivity flag.
486 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
488 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
489 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
491 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
493 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
494 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
495 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
496 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
497 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
498 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
499 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
500 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
501 getting moved aside).
503 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
504 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
506 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
508 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
509 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
510 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
511 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
512 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
513 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
514 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
515 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
516 the prototype, but never sets it.
518 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
519 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
520 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
521 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
522 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
523 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
525 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
526 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
527 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
528 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
529 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
531 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
533 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
534 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
537 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
538 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
539 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
540 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
541 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
542 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
543 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
545 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
547 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
549 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
550 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
551 this works on other systems.
553 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
555 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
556 checks for write failures.
558 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
560 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
562 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
565 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
567 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
569 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
571 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
572 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
575 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
577 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
578 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
579 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
580 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
582 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
584 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
585 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
588 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
589 as well as Makefiles.
591 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
593 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
594 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
595 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
596 should make maintainability easier.
598 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
599 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
600 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
601 whatever you know works.
603 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
606 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
607 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
609 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
610 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
611 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
612 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
614 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
615 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
616 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
618 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
619 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
620 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
621 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
622 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
624 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
625 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
626 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
627 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
628 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
629 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
630 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
631 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
632 from the BSD version.
634 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
635 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
636 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
638 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
641 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
644 This happens on solaris:
647 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
648 No manual entry for mts.conf.
652 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
654 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
655 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
657 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
659 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
660 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
661 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
662 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
663 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
664 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
665 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
666 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
667 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
668 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
669 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
671 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
672 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
673 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
674 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
675 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
676 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
679 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
680 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
681 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
682 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
683 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
685 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
686 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
688 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
690 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
691 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
692 to stdin, such as exmh.
694 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
695 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
696 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
699 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
701 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
702 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
703 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
704 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
705 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
706 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
707 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
709 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
711 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
712 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
714 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
716 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
717 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
719 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
721 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
724 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
725 along with any -host or -user option.
727 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
729 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
731 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
732 process was fresh in my mind.
734 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
736 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
737 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
739 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
741 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
743 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
746 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
747 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
748 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
749 part of the program's name.
751 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
752 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
755 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
757 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
758 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
759 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
760 single-character format would cause programs using this
761 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
762 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
763 when the format string was one character. This eventually
764 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
767 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
769 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
770 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
771 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
772 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
773 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
774 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
776 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
777 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
778 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
779 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
780 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
781 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
782 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
783 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
785 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
786 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
787 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
788 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
789 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
790 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
791 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
792 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
793 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
794 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
796 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
798 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
799 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
801 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
802 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
804 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
809 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
811 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
812 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
813 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
814 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
816 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
817 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
818 problem in the routine.
820 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
822 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
823 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
825 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
826 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
827 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
830 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
832 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
833 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
834 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
835 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
836 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
837 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
838 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
839 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
840 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
841 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
843 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
845 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
846 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
847 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
848 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
849 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
850 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
851 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
852 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
853 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
854 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
855 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
856 interesting than a duplication of the default.
858 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
859 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
860 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
861 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
862 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
864 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
867 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
869 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
870 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
871 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
872 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
875 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
877 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
879 * Applied, after some finessing,
880 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
882 Here's a patch that allows you to add
884 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
886 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
887 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
888 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
889 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
891 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
893 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
894 forgetting to do so!).
896 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
897 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
898 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
899 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
900 arguments to enable all three types.
902 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
903 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
905 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
906 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
907 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
908 updated copy of mts.conf.
910 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
912 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
913 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
914 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
916 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
918 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
920 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
921 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
922 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
924 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
925 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
926 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
928 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
929 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
930 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
932 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
934 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
936 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
938 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
940 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
941 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
943 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
944 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
945 certain suffix to run properly.
947 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
948 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
949 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
951 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
952 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
953 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
954 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
955 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
956 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
957 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
959 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
961 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
962 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
963 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
964 until some year far in the future).
966 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
968 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
970 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
971 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
973 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
974 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
977 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
979 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
980 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
981 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
982 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
983 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
984 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
986 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
988 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
990 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
991 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
992 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
994 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
995 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
996 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
997 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
998 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
999 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1002 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1003 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1004 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1005 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1006 of masquerading individually.
1008 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1009 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1010 GECOS field delimiters.
1012 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1014 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1015 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1016 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1017 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1018 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1019 and explaining the feature.
1021 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1023 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1024 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1027 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1028 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1029 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1031 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1032 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1033 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1034 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1036 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1037 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1038 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1041 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1043 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1044 code to be executed.
1046 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1048 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1050 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1051 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1052 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1053 quotes embedded in them.
1055 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1057 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1058 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1059 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1060 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1061 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1062 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1063 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1066 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1067 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1068 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1069 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1070 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1072 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1074 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1076 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1077 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1078 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1079 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1081 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1084 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1086 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1088 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1090 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1091 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1092 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1094 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1097 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1099 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1100 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1101 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1102 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1103 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1104 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1106 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1107 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1109 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1111 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1114 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1116 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1117 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1118 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1121 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1122 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1123 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1124 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1125 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1126 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1127 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1128 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1129 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1130 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1131 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1132 processing that post has).
1134 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1136 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1137 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1138 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1139 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1140 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1141 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1144 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1146 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1148 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1150 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1152 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1153 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1155 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1158 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1160 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1161 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1162 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1165 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1168 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1169 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1170 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1171 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1172 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1174 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1176 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1178 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1180 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1181 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1182 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1183 caught again. This works for now.
1185 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1187 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1189 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1190 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1192 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1194 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1195 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1197 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1199 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1201 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1203 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1204 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1206 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1208 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1209 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1210 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1211 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1212 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1215 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1217 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1218 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1219 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1221 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1222 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1225 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1227 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1228 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1229 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1231 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1233 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1234 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1236 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1238 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1241 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1242 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1244 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1245 macros, regardless of platform.
1247 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1248 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1250 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1251 with x-conversions=gzip.
1253 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1255 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1258 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1259 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1260 implicit definition of ioctl().
1262 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1263 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1264 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1265 want to mess with them.
1267 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1269 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1270 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1272 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1273 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1275 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1276 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1277 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1279 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1280 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1281 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1283 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1284 function initgroups.
1286 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1289 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1290 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1293 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1294 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1297 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1298 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1302 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1304 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1305 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1306 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1308 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1309 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1311 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1313 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1315 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1316 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1317 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1318 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1320 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1321 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1323 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1325 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1327 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1329 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1330 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1332 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1334 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1335 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1337 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1338 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1339 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1340 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1342 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1343 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1345 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1347 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1348 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1350 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1352 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1353 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1356 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1358 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1360 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1362 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1363 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1365 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1366 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1367 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1369 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1370 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1371 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1373 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1374 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1375 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1377 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1378 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1381 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1382 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1384 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1385 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1387 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1388 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1390 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1391 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1392 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1394 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1395 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1397 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1398 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1399 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1401 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1402 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1405 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1406 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1408 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1409 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1410 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1411 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1413 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1414 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1416 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1420 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1421 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1422 would not be changed.
1424 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1425 one from the Apache web server.
1427 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1428 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1430 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1431 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1432 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1434 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1436 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1438 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1439 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1442 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1443 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1444 removes a bad race condition.
1446 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1449 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1450 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1451 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1453 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1454 sequence information.
1456 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1457 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1459 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1462 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1465 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1467 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1468 interpret 034 as octal.
1470 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1472 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1473 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1475 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1476 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1478 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1479 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1481 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1482 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1484 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1485 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1487 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1488 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1489 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1491 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1492 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1493 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1495 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1497 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1499 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1500 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1503 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1505 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1506 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1508 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1509 header field information.
1511 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1512 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1514 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1515 values when parsing a content.
1517 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1518 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1520 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1521 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1523 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1524 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1526 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1527 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1529 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1531 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1533 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1535 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1537 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1538 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1541 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1542 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1544 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1545 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1546 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1547 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1548 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1549 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1552 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1554 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1555 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1556 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1558 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1559 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1561 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1563 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1564 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1565 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1566 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1568 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1569 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1572 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1573 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1574 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1575 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1578 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1580 * Released nmh-0.27.
1582 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1583 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1585 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1586 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1587 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1588 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1591 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1592 mhbuild returns an error.
1594 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1595 rename the draft file.
1597 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1598 use a global variable.
1600 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1601 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1603 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1604 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1606 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1607 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1608 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1610 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1611 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1613 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1614 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1617 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1618 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1621 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1622 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1624 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1625 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1626 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1628 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1629 to new function output_content_folder.
1631 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1632 new function output_content_file.
1634 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1635 to new function parse_format_string.
1637 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1638 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1639 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1640 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1642 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1643 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1644 message/external file from ftp.
1646 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1647 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1648 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1650 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1651 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1654 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1657 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1658 new file mhstoresbr.c
1660 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1663 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1664 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1666 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1667 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1669 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1670 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1671 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1673 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1675 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1677 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1678 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1681 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1682 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1684 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1687 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1689 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1691 * Released nmh-0.26.
1693 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1694 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1695 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1696 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1698 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1699 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1700 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1701 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1702 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1704 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1705 But it is not on by default.
1707 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1708 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1710 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1712 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1714 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1716 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1718 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1719 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1721 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1723 * Released nmh-0.25.
1725 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1726 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1727 uses the original name of the library.
1729 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1730 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1733 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1734 list_content and list_debug.
1736 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1738 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1739 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1741 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1743 * Released nmh-0.24.
1745 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1747 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1748 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1750 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1751 large sequence line.
1753 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1755 * Released nmh-0.23.
1757 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1759 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1760 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1761 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1762 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1764 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1765 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1768 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1770 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1772 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1774 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1775 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1777 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1778 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1780 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1781 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1783 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1784 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1786 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1788 * Released nmh-0.22.
1790 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1791 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1793 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1795 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1796 mh-profile(5) man page.
1798 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1799 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1801 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1803 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1805 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1806 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1808 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1810 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1811 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1812 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1814 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1815 source message on the standard input.
1817 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1819 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1820 rather than -rfc934mode.
1822 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1823 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1826 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1827 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1829 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1832 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1834 * Released nmh-0.21.
1836 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1837 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1839 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1842 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1843 to use for text contents.
1845 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1847 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1849 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1851 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1853 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1854 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1856 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1857 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1858 spaces between encoded word are.
1860 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1862 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1863 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1865 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1866 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1867 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1869 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1871 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1872 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1874 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1876 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1878 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1879 ISO-8859-X character set.
1881 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1884 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1885 permissions, not write permissions.
1887 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1888 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1890 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1893 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1895 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1897 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1898 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1900 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1901 message contains valid character set.
1903 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1904 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1906 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1907 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1909 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1910 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1911 between an encoded word and normal text.
1913 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1914 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1916 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1917 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1919 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1922 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1923 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1926 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1927 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1929 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1930 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1932 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1934 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1936 * Released nmh-0.20.
1938 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1940 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1942 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1943 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1944 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1946 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1947 and the To: line was missing.
1949 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1951 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1953 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1955 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1956 watch the POP transaction.
1958 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1959 first, and use it if available.
1961 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1962 first, and use it if available.
1964 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1966 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1968 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1969 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1970 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1973 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1974 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1975 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1977 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1978 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1981 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1983 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1984 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1986 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1988 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1989 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1991 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1992 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1993 message to which you are replying.
1995 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1996 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1997 making group replies.
1999 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2001 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2003 * Released nmh-0.19.
2005 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2006 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2008 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2009 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2010 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2011 to the end of the man page.
2013 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2014 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2015 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2016 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2017 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2018 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2020 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2023 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2024 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2025 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2027 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2028 the next available number above the message number you wish
2031 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2032 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2034 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2035 file sbr/seq_print.c
2037 * flist will now update the current folder.
2039 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2040 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2041 but now undocumented.
2043 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2046 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2047 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2049 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2051 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2052 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2054 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2056 * Released nmh-0.18.
2058 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2059 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2060 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2062 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2063 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2065 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2066 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2067 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2068 previous public/private status.
2070 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2073 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2076 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2077 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2078 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2080 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2081 take option to determine whether it should get current
2082 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2083 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2085 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2087 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2088 wait for stopped processes.
2090 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2091 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2093 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2095 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2097 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2098 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2100 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2101 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2103 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2104 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2105 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2106 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2108 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2111 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2114 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2116 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2117 the debugging output.
2119 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2120 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2122 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2124 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2126 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2127 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2129 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2131 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2132 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2133 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2134 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2135 in the given sequence.
2137 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2138 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2139 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2140 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2141 subdirectories of a given directory.
2143 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2144 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2145 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2147 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2148 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2150 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2152 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2155 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2156 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2157 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2159 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2160 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2161 are calculated at runtime.
2163 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2165 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2167 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2168 about checking for global mh.profile.
2170 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2171 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2172 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2173 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2174 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2175 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2177 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2178 adding message to folder itself.
2180 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2181 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2182 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2185 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2186 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2189 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2190 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2191 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2193 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2194 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2196 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2197 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2198 code to use it yet).
2200 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2202 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2204 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2205 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2207 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2208 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2210 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2212 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2215 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2217 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2219 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2221 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2223 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2224 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2226 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2228 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2230 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2232 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2234 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2236 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2237 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2239 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2240 configuration files.
2242 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2244 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2246 * Released nmh-0.17.
2248 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2250 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2251 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2253 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2256 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2257 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2259 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2260 number of refiled message.
2262 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2264 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2265 for return value of wait().
2267 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2269 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2271 * Released nmh-0.16.
2273 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2275 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2277 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2278 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2279 deal with binary messages, yet).
2281 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2283 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2285 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2286 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2287 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2288 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2289 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2290 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2292 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2293 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2295 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2296 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2298 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2299 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2302 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2304 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2306 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2307 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2310 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2313 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2315 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2316 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2317 which used unsigned chars by default.
2319 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2321 * Released nmh-0.15.
2323 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2324 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.

2328 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2330 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2333 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2334 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2335 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2337 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2338 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2340 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2342 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2343 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2345 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2346 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2347 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2348 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2350 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2351 and put in own subroutine.
2353 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2354 and put in own subroutine.
2356 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2357 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2358 refile.c to use new routine.

2362 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2364 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2367 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2368 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2369 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2371 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2374 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2375 adding message to sequence.

2378 corresponding file in sbr.
2380 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2383 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2385 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2386 all selected messages from a sequence.
2388 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2389 selected messages to a sequence.
2391 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2394 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2396 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2397 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2399 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2401 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2420 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2421 environment variable.
2423 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2424 draft folder facility in nmh.
2426 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2436 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Released nmh-0.13.
2440 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2441 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2442 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2443 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2446 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2447 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2449 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2451 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2452 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2454 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2456 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2457 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2473 mp->attrstats with macros.
2475 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2478 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2481 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2482 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2484 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2485 will suppress the display of the message header.
2487 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2489 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2490 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2492 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2494 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2496 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2498 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2499 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2501 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2502 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2504 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2506 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2508 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2509 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2511 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2512 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2514 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2516 * Released nmh-0.10.

2523 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2526 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2528 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2529 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2531 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2532 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2534 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2536 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2537 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2539 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2541 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2542 of missing tabs in regex.

2569 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2571 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2572 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2574 * Released nmh-0.08.
2576 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2577 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2578 locking database itself.
2580 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2582 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2584 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2585 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2588 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2589 rather than mmdf format.
2591 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2592 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2593 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2594 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2596 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2598 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2600 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2603 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2604 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2605 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2607 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2608 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2609 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2611 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2613 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2614 can still easily change this in config.h).
2616 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2617 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2618 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2620 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2622 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2634 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2636 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2637 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2639 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2640 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2643 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2644 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2646 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2647 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2649 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2651 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2653 * Added configure check for tzset.

2657 * Released nmh-0.06.
2659 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2660 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2662 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2663 many such machines around anymore.
2665 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2666 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2668 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2669 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2671 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2673 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2674 pre-generated version if necessary.
2676 * Released nmh-0.05.
2678 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2679 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2680 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2681 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2683 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2684 be linked in one pass.
2686 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2689 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2691 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2693 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2695 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2697 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2698 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2699 become the current folder.
2701 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * Released nmh-0.04.
2705 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2708 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2710 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2711 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2712 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2714 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2716 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2717 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2719 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2721 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2722 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2725 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2726 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2728 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2731 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2732 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2733 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2734 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2735 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2737 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2739 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2740 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2742 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2743 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2745 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2747 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2748 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2750 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2752 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2753 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2754 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2756 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2758 * Released nmh-0.03.
2760 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2761 .mh_sequence file existed.
2763 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2764 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2766 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2767 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2770 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2772 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2775 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2778 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2779 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2781 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2784 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2785 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2787 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2789 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2790 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2792 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2794 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2796 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2797 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2798 directory from where the source code is located.
2800 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2802 * Released nmh-0.02.

2809 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2811 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2812 and sys_nerr directly.
2814 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2816 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2818 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2820 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2823 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2824 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2825 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2826 rather than in script.
2828 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2832 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2833 macro defined on Solaris.
2835 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2837 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2838 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2840 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2841 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2842 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2843 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2846 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2848 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2849 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2851 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2854 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2856 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2858 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2859 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2861 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2864 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2866 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2869 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2870 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2871 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2872 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses

2877 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2879 * Released nmh-0.01.
2881 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2882 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2883 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2886 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2898 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2899 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).

2905 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2906 speed up -recurse option.
2908 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2909 yet, but it compiles :-)
2911 * Changed default location for install to
2912 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2913 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2914 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2917 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2918 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2919 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
