1 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
3 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
5 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
7 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
8 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
11 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
13 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
15 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
17 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
20 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
22 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
25 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
27 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
28 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
29 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
30 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
32 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
34 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
35 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
36 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
37 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
38 where configure's autodetection fails.
40 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
42 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
43 configure script change.
45 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
47 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
48 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
49 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
52 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
54 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
55 the context is only read once.
57 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
59 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
60 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
62 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
64 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
65 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
67 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
68 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
71 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
72 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
75 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
77 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
78 vi isn't found during build.
80 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
82 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
83 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
85 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
86 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
87 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
89 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
91 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
92 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
94 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
95 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
96 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
97 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
100 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
101 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
102 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
104 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
105 entry in the context file.
107 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
109 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
110 problems on some systems
112 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
113 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
115 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
117 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
118 sendmail isn't found during build.
120 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
122 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
124 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
126 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
127 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
129 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
130 references to the web page and mailing list locations
132 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
133 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
135 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
138 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
140 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
141 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
142 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
144 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
145 was configured with --enable-apop.
147 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
148 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
149 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
151 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
152 new versions of flex.
154 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
155 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
156 doesn't guess wrongly.
158 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
160 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
161 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
163 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
164 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
166 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
167 files with numbers as names
169 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
171 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
173 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
175 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
177 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
178 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
180 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
182 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
185 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
186 test/report error writing to stdout
188 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
190 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
192 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
193 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
194 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
196 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
197 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
198 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
200 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
202 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
203 character set used by the current locale
205 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
206 message's filename overflows an int when converted
208 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
209 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
211 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
213 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
216 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
218 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
219 from Michael Richardson.
221 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
222 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
224 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
226 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
227 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
229 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
231 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
232 find sub-parts of the specified part
234 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
236 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
237 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
238 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
239 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
240 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
241 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
242 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
245 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
247 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
248 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
249 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
252 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
253 refiling with -src option.
255 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
257 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
259 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
261 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
262 mailpath being overwritten.
264 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
266 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
267 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
268 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
269 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
270 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
271 reinitializes the tmp file string.
273 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
274 if a format string was read from the profile.
276 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
277 path for the external hook.
279 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
281 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
282 another location for ndbm.
284 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
286 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
288 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
290 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
293 136976 - Handle binary content messages
294 143427 - mh-format.man typo
295 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
296 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
297 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
298 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
299 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
300 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
301 181867 - typo for nmh.man
303 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
305 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
306 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
307 contitional code which will result in cached data to
308 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
309 and parse on the first use.
310 * Remove some unused flag bits.
312 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
314 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
315 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
317 #578 - repl leaks umask
318 #1393 - sortm core dumps
319 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
320 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
321 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
323 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
324 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
326 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
328 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
329 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
331 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
333 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
334 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
335 to docs/README.about.
337 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
339 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
341 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
342 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
343 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
344 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
347 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
349 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
350 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
351 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
352 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
353 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
354 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
357 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
358 summary configure prints out.
360 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
361 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
362 subjectively more readable) format.
364 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
366 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
369 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
371 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
372 19xx when it's not necessary.
374 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
376 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
377 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
380 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
381 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
382 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
383 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
384 the man pages correctly.
386 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
388 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
390 * Finished manpages ali-prev
392 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
393 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
394 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
397 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
398 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
399 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
400 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
402 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
404 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
405 the formatting rules I've been using.
409 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
411 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
412 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
413 used in the manpages.
415 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
416 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
417 read in the contents of the file as the variable
420 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
421 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
422 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
423 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
424 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
425 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
426 bold flags and italicized parameters.
428 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
430 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
431 --with-locking option.
433 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
434 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
435 information was not being communicated to the
436 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
437 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
438 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
439 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
440 undefined symbols problems.
442 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
443 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
444 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
445 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
446 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
447 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
448 for a genuine krb4 installation.
450 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
452 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
453 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
455 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
457 * Made a new ./configure option called
458 "--with-locking" that allows the file
459 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
460 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
462 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
463 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
464 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
465 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
466 the user that these are the valid options, and
467 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
470 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
472 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
473 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
474 committed to supporting flex only, since
475 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
476 string, as well as other problems documented
477 below and on nmh-workers.
479 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
480 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
481 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
484 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
485 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
487 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
489 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
490 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
491 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
493 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
495 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
496 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
498 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
500 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
501 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
502 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
503 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
504 couldn't correctly identify them.
506 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
508 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
509 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
510 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
511 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
512 not depending on an external archive.
514 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
515 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
516 mts/generic is no longer built.
518 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
520 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
521 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
522 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
523 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
524 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
525 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
526 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
527 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
529 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
531 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
532 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
535 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
537 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
538 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
539 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
542 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
543 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
544 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
545 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
547 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
548 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
549 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
550 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
551 merged into the smtp code).
553 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
554 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
555 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
558 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
559 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
560 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
561 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
562 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
563 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
564 in the appropriate Makefile.in
566 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
568 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
569 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
570 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
571 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
572 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
573 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
574 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
575 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
576 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
577 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
578 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
580 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
582 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
583 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
584 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
585 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
586 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
587 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
588 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
589 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
590 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
592 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
594 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
595 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
598 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
600 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
601 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
603 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
605 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
606 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
607 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
608 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
610 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
612 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
613 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
614 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
615 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
616 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
618 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
619 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
621 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
623 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
625 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
626 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
627 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
628 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
630 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
631 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
632 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
633 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
635 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
636 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
637 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
638 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
640 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
641 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
642 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
644 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
646 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
647 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
648 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
649 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
650 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
651 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
654 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
655 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
657 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
658 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
660 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
662 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
664 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
666 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
667 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
668 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
669 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
671 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
673 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
674 be easily changed from "," to "#".
676 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
678 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
680 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
681 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
684 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
686 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
687 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
688 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
689 but not for the subsequent data stream.
691 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
693 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
694 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
695 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
696 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
697 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
699 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
701 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
702 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
704 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
705 cat, also define lorder as echo.
707 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
709 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
711 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
712 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
713 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
715 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
717 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
720 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
721 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
723 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
725 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
726 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
728 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
730 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
731 inc does not need to be setgid.
733 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
735 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
736 library, as found on Debian systems.
738 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
740 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
742 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
743 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
744 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
745 case-insensitivity flag.
747 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
749 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
750 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
752 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
754 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
755 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
756 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
757 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
758 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
759 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
760 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
761 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
762 getting moved aside).
764 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
765 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
767 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
769 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
770 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
771 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
772 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
773 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
774 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
775 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
776 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
777 the prototype, but never sets it.
779 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
780 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
781 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
782 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
783 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
784 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
786 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
787 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
788 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
789 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
790 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
792 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
794 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
795 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
798 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
799 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
800 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
801 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
802 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
803 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
804 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
806 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
808 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
810 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
811 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
812 this works on other systems.
814 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
816 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
817 checks for write failures.
819 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
821 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
823 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
826 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
828 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
830 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
832 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
833 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
836 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
838 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
839 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
840 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
841 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
843 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
845 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
846 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
849 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
850 as well as Makefiles.
852 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
854 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
855 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
856 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
857 should make maintainability easier.
859 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
860 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
861 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
862 whatever you know works.
864 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
867 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
868 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
870 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
871 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
872 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
873 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
875 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
876 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
877 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
879 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
880 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
881 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
882 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
883 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
885 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
886 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
887 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
888 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
889 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
890 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
891 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
892 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
893 from the BSD version.
895 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
896 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
897 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
899 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
902 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
905 This happens on solaris:
908 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
909 No manual entry for mts.conf.
913 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
915 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
916 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
918 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
920 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
921 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
922 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
923 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
924 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
925 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
926 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
927 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
928 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
929 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
930 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
932 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
933 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
934 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
935 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
936 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
937 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
940 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
941 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
942 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
943 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
944 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
946 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
947 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
949 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
951 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
952 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
953 to stdin, such as exmh.
955 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
956 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
957 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
960 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
962 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
963 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
964 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
965 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
966 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
967 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
968 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
970 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
972 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
973 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
975 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
977 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
978 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
980 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
982 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
985 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
986 along with any -host or -user option.
988 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
990 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
992 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
993 process was fresh in my mind.
995 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
997 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
998 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1000 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1002 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1004 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1007 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1008 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1009 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1010 part of the program's name.
1012 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1013 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1016 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1018 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1019 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1020 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1021 single-character format would cause programs using this
1022 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1023 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1024 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1025 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1028 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1030 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1031 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1032 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1033 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1034 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1035 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1037 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1038 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1039 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1040 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1041 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1042 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1043 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1044 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1046 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1047 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1048 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1049 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1050 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1051 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1052 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1053 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1054 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1055 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1057 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1059 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1060 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1062 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1063 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1065 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1070 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1072 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1073 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1074 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1075 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1077 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1078 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1079 problem in the routine.
1081 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1083 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1084 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1086 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1087 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1088 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1091 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1093 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1094 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1095 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1096 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1097 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1098 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1099 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1100 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1101 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1102 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1104 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1106 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1107 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1108 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1109 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1110 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1111 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1112 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1113 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1114 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1115 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1116 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1117 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1119 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1120 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1121 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1122 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1123 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1125 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1128 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1130 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1131 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1132 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1133 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1136 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1138 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1140 * Applied, after some finessing,
1141 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1143 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1145 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1147 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1148 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1149 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1150 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1152 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1154 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1155 forgetting to do so!).
1157 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1158 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1159 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1160 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1161 arguments to enable all three types.
1163 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1164 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1166 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1167 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1168 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1169 updated copy of mts.conf.
1171 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1173 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1174 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1175 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1177 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1179 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1181 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1182 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1183 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1185 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1186 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1187 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1189 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1190 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1191 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1193 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1195 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1197 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1199 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1201 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1202 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1204 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1205 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1206 certain suffix to run properly.
1208 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1209 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1210 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1212 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1213 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1214 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1215 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1216 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1217 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1218 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1220 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1222 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1223 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1224 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1225 until some year far in the future).
1227 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1229 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1231 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1232 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1234 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1235 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1238 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1240 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1241 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1242 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1243 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1244 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1245 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1247 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1249 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1251 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1252 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1253 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1255 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1256 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1257 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1258 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1259 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1260 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1263 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1264 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1265 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1266 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1267 of masquerading individually.
1269 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1270 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1271 GECOS field delimiters.
1273 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1275 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1276 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1277 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1278 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1279 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1280 and explaining the feature.
1282 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1285 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1288 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1289 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1290 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1292 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1293 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1294 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1295 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1297 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1298 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1299 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1302 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1304 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1305 code to be executed.
1307 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1309 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1311 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1312 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1313 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1314 quotes embedded in them.
1316 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1318 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1319 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1320 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1321 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1322 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1323 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1324 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1327 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1328 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1329 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1330 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1331 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1333 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1335 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1337 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1338 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1339 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1340 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1342 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1345 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1347 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1349 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1351 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1352 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1353 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1355 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1358 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1360 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1361 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1362 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1363 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1364 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1365 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1367 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1368 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1370 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1372 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1375 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1377 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1378 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1379 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1382 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1383 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1384 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1385 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1386 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1387 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1388 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1389 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1390 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1391 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1392 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1393 processing that post has).
1395 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1397 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1398 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1399 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1400 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1401 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1402 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1405 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1407 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1409 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1411 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1413 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1414 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1416 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1419 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1421 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1422 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1423 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1426 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1428 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1429 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1430 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1431 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1432 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1433 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1435 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1437 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1439 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1441 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1442 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1443 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1444 caught again. This works for now.
1446 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1448 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1450 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1451 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1453 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1455 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1456 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1458 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1460 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1462 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1464 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1465 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1467 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1469 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1470 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1471 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1472 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1473 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1476 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1478 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1479 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1480 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1482 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1483 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1486 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1488 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1489 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1490 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1492 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1494 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1495 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1497 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1499 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1502 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1503 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1505 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1506 macros, regardless of platform.
1508 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1509 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1511 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1512 with x-conversions=gzip.
1514 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1516 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1519 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1520 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1521 implicit definition of ioctl().
1523 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1524 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1525 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1526 want to mess with them.
1528 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1530 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1531 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1533 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1534 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1536 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1537 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1538 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1540 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1541 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1542 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1544 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1545 function initgroups.
1547 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1550 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1551 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1554 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1555 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1558 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1559 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1563 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1565 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1566 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1567 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1569 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1570 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1572 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1574 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1576 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1577 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1578 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1579 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1581 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1582 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1584 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1586 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1588 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1590 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1591 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1593 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1595 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1596 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1598 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1599 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1600 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1601 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1603 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1604 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1606 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1608 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1609 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1611 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1613 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1614 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1617 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1619 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1621 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1623 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1624 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1626 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1627 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1628 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1630 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1631 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1632 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1634 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1635 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1636 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1638 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1639 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1642 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1643 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1645 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1646 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1648 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1649 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1651 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1652 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1653 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1655 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1656 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1658 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1659 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1660 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1662 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1663 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1666 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1667 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1669 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1670 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1671 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1672 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1674 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1675 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1677 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1681 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1682 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1683 would not be changed.
1685 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1686 one from the Apache web server.
1688 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1689 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1691 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1692 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1693 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1695 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1697 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1699 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1700 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1703 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1704 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1705 removes a bad race condition.
1707 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1710 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1711 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1712 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1714 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1715 sequence information.
1717 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1718 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1720 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1723 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1726 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1728 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1729 interpret 034 as octal.
1731 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1733 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1734 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1736 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1737 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1739 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1740 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1742 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1743 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1745 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1746 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1748 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1749 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1750 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1752 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1753 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1754 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1756 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1758 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1760 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1761 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1764 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1766 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1767 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1769 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1770 header field information.
1772 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1773 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1775 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1776 values when parsing a content.
1778 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1779 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1781 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1782 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1784 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1785 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1787 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1788 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1790 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1792 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1794 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1796 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1798 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1799 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1802 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1803 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1805 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1806 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1807 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1808 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1809 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1810 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1813 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1815 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1816 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1817 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1819 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1820 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1822 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1824 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1825 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1826 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1827 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1829 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1830 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1833 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1834 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1835 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1836 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1839 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1841 * Released nmh-0.27.
1843 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1844 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1846 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1847 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1848 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1849 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1852 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1853 mhbuild returns an error.
1855 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1856 rename the draft file.
1858 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1859 use a global variable.
1861 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1862 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1864 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1865 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1867 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1868 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1869 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1871 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1872 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1874 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1875 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1878 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1879 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1882 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1883 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1885 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1886 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1887 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1889 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1890 to new function output_content_folder.
1892 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1893 new function output_content_file.
1895 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1896 to new function parse_format_string.
1898 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1899 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1900 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1901 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1903 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1904 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1905 message/external file from ftp.
1907 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1908 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1909 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1911 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1912 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1915 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1918 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1919 new file mhstoresbr.c
1921 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1924 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1925 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1927 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1928 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1930 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1931 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1932 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1934 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1936 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1938 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1939 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1942 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1943 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1945 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1948 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1950 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1952 * Released nmh-0.26.
1954 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1955 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1956 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1957 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1959 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1960 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1961 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1962 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1963 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1965 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1966 But it is not on by default.
1968 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1969 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1971 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1973 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1975 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1977 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1979 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1980 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1982 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1984 * Released nmh-0.25.
1986 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1987 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1988 uses the original name of the library.
1990 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1991 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1994 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1995 list_content and list_debug.
1997 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1999 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2000 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2002 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2004 * Released nmh-0.24.
2006 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2008 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2009 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2011 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2012 large sequence line.
2014 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2016 * Released nmh-0.23.
2018 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2020 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2021 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2022 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2023 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2025 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2026 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2029 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2031 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2033 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2035 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2036 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2038 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2039 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2041 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2042 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2044 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2045 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2047 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2049 * Released nmh-0.22.
2051 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2052 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2054 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2056 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2057 mh-profile(5) man page.
2059 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2060 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2062 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2064 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2066 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2067 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2069 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2071 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2072 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2073 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2075 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2076 source message on the standard input.
2078 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2080 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2081 rather than -rfc934mode.
2083 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2084 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2087 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2088 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2090 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2093 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2095 * Released nmh-0.21.
2097 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2098 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2100 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2103 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2104 to use for text contents.
2106 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2108 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2110 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2112 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2114 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2115 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2117 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2118 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2119 spaces between encoded word are.
2121 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2123 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2124 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2126 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2127 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2128 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2130 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2132 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2133 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2135 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2137 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2139 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2140 ISO-8859-X character set.
2142 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2145 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2146 permissions, not write permissions.
2148 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2149 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2151 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2154 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2156 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2158 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2159 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2161 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2162 message contains valid character set.
2164 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2165 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2167 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2168 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2170 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2171 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2172 between an encoded word and normal text.
2174 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2175 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2177 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2178 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2180 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2183 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2184 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2187 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2188 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2190 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2191 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2193 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2195 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2197 * Released nmh-0.20.
2199 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2201 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2203 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2204 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2205 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2207 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2208 and the To: line was missing.
2210 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2212 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2214 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2216 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2217 watch the POP transaction.
2219 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2220 first, and use it if available.
2222 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2223 first, and use it if available.
2225 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2227 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2229 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2230 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2231 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2234 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2235 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2236 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2238 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2239 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2242 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2244 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2245 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2247 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2249 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2250 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2252 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2253 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2254 message to which you are replying.
2256 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2257 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2258 making group replies.
2260 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2262 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2264 * Released nmh-0.19.
2266 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2267 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2269 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2270 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2271 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2272 to the end of the man page.
2274 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2275 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2276 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2277 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2278 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2279 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2281 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2284 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2285 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2286 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2288 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2289 the next available number above the message number you wish
2292 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2293 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2295 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2296 file sbr/seq_print.c
2298 * flist will now update the current folder.
2300 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2301 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2302 but now undocumented.
2304 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2307 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2308 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2310 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2312 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2313 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2315 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2317 * Released nmh-0.18.
2319 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2320 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2321 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2323 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2324 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2326 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2327 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2328 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2329 previous public/private status.
2331 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2334 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2337 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2338 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2339 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2341 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2342 take option to determine whether it should get current
2343 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2344 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2346 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2348 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2349 wait for stopped processes.
2351 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2352 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2354 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2356 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2358 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2359 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2361 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2362 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2364 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2365 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2366 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2367 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2369 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2372 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2375 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2377 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2378 the debugging output.
2380 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2381 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2383 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2385 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2387 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2388 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2390 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2392 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2393 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2394 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2395 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2396 in the given sequence.
2398 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2399 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2400 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2401 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2402 subdirectories of a given directory.
2404 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2405 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2406 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2408 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2409 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2411 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2413 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2416 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2417 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2418 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2420 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2421 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2422 are calculated at runtime.
2424 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2426 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2428 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2429 about checking for global mh.profile.
2431 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2432 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2433 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2434 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2435 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2436 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2438 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2439 adding message to folder itself.
2441 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2442 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2443 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2446 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2447 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2450 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2451 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2452 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2454 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2455 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2457 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2458 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2459 code to use it yet).
2461 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2463 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2465 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2466 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2468 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2469 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2471 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2473 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2476 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2478 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2480 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2482 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2484 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2485 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2487 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2489 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2491 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2493 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2495 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2497 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2498 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2500 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2501 configuration files.
2503 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2505 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2507 * Released nmh-0.17.
2509 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2511 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2512 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2514 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2517 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2518 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2520 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2521 number of refiled message.
2523 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2525 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2526 for return value of wait().
2528 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2530 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532 * Released nmh-0.16.
2534 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2536 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2538 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2539 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2540 deal with binary messages, yet).
2542 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2544 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2546 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2547 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2548 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2549 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2550 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2551 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2553 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2554 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2556 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2557 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2559 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2560 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2563 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2565 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2567 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2568 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2571 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2574 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2576 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2577 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2578 which used unsigned chars by default.
2580 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2582 * Released nmh-0.15.
2584 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2585 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2587 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2589 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2591 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2594 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2595 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2596 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2598 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2599 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2601 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2603 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2604 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2606 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2607 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2608 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2609 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2611 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2612 and put in own subroutine.
2614 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2615 and put in own subroutine.
2617 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2618 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2619 refile.c to use new routine.
2621 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2625 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2628 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2629 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2630 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2632 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2635 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2636 adding message to sequence.
2638 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2639 corresponding file in sbr.
2641 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2644 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2646 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2647 all selected messages from a sequence.
2649 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2650 selected messages to a sequence.
2652 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2655 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2657 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2658 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2660 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2662 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2663 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2665 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2668 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2672 * Released nmh-0.14.
2674 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2675 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2677 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2679 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2680 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2681 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2682 environment variable.
2684 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2685 draft folder facility in nmh.
2687 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2690 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
2691 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
2694 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2697 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2699 * Released nmh-0.13.
2701 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2702 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2703 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2704 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2707 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2708 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2710 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2712 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2713 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2715 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2718 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2720 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2722 * Released nmh-0.12.
2724 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
2726 * Released nmh-0.11.
2728 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2731 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2733 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2734 mp->attrstats with macros.
2736 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2739 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2742 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2743 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2745 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2746 will suppress the display of the message header.
2748 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2750 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2751 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2753 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2755 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2757 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2759 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2760 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2762 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2763 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2765 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2767 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2769 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2770 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2772 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2773 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2775 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Released nmh-0.10.
2779 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2784 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2786 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2787 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2789 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2790 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2792 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2793 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2795 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2797 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2798 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2800 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2802 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2803 of missing tabs in regex.
2805 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * Released nmh-0.09.
2809 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2811 * Add configure check for killpg.
2813 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
2816 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2818 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2820 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2823 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2825 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2827 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2828 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2830 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2832 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2833 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2835 * Released nmh-0.08.
2837 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2838 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2839 locking database itself.
2841 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2845 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2846 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2849 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2850 rather than mmdf format.
2852 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2853 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2854 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2855 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2857 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2859 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2861 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2864 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2865 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2866 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2868 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2869 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2870 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2872 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2874 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2875 can still easily change this in config.h).
2877 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2878 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2879 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2881 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2883 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2884 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2886 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2888 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2890 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2893 * Released nmh-0.07.
2895 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2897 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2898 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2900 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2901 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2904 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2905 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2907 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2908 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2910 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2912 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2914 * Added configure check for tzset.
2916 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2918 * Released nmh-0.06.
2920 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2921 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2923 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2924 many such machines around anymore.
2926 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2927 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2929 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2930 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2932 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2935 pre-generated version if necessary.
2937 * Released nmh-0.05.
2939 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2940 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2941 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2942 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2944 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2945 be linked in one pass.
2947 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2949 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2950 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2952 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2956 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2959 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2960 become the current folder.
2962 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2964 * Released nmh-0.04.
2966 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2969 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2971 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2972 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2973 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2975 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2978 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2980 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2982 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2983 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2986 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2987 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2989 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2991 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2992 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2993 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2994 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2995 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2996 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2998 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3000 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3001 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3003 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3004 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3006 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3008 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3009 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3011 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3014 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3015 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3017 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Released nmh-0.03.
3021 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3022 .mh_sequence file existed.
3024 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3025 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3027 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3028 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3031 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3036 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3039 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3040 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3042 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3044 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3045 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3046 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3048 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3050 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3051 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3053 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3055 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3057 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3058 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3059 directory from where the source code is located.
3061 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Released nmh-0.02.
3065 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3067 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3070 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3072 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3073 and sys_nerr directly.
3075 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3077 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3079 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3081 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3083 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3084 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3085 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3086 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3087 rather than in script.
3089 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3091 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3093 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3094 macro defined on Solaris.
3096 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3099 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3101 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3102 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3103 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3104 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3107 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3109 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3110 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3112 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3115 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3117 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3119 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3120 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3122 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3124 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3125 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3127 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3129 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3130 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3131 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3132 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3133 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3134 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3136 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3138 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3140 * Released nmh-0.01.
3142 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3143 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3144 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3147 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3149 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3152 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3154 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3155 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3157 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3159 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3160 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3161 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3162 script to find_program.
3164 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3166 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3167 speed up -recurse option.
3169 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3170 yet, but it compiles :-)
3172 * Changed default location for install to
3173 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3174 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3175 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3178 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3179 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3180 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
