1 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * Made a new ./configure option called
4 "--with-locking" that allows the file
5 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
6 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
8 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
9 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
10 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
11 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
12 the user that these are the valid options, and
13 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
16 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
18 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
19 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
20 committed to supporting flex only, since
21 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
22 string, as well as other problems documented
23 below and on nmh-workers.
25 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
26 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
27 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
30 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
31 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
33 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
35 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
36 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
37 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
39 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
41 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
42 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
44 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
46 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
47 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
48 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
49 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
50 couldn't correctly identify them.
52 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
54 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
55 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
56 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
57 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
58 not depending on an external archive.
60 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
61 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
62 mts/generic is no longer built.
64 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
66 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
67 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
68 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
69 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
70 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
71 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
72 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
73 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
75 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
77 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
78 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
81 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
83 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
84 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
85 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
88 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
89 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
90 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
91 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
93 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
94 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
95 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
96 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
97 merged into the smtp code).
99 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
100 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
101 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
104 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
105 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
106 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
107 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
108 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
109 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
110 in the appropriate Makefile.in
112 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
114 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
115 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
116 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
117 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
118 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
119 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
120 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
121 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
122 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
123 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
124 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
126 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
128 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
129 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
130 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
131 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
132 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
133 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
134 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
135 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
136 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
138 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
140 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
141 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
144 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
146 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
147 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
149 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
151 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
152 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
153 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
154 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
156 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
158 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
159 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
160 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
161 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
162 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
164 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
165 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
167 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
169 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
171 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
172 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
173 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
174 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
176 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
177 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
178 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
179 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
181 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
182 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
183 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
184 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
186 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
187 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
188 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
190 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
192 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
193 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
194 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
195 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
196 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
197 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
200 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
201 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
203 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
204 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
206 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
208 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
210 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
212 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
213 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
214 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
215 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
217 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
219 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
220 be easily changed from "," to "#".
222 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
224 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
226 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
227 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
230 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
232 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
233 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
234 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
235 but not for the subsequent data stream.
237 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
239 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
240 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
241 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
242 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
243 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
245 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
247 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
248 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
250 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
251 cat, also define lorder as echo.
253 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
255 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
257 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
258 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
259 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
261 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
263 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
266 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
267 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
269 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
271 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
272 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
274 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
276 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
277 inc does not need to be setgid.
279 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
281 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
282 library, as found on Debian systems.
284 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
286 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
288 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
289 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
290 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
291 case-insensitivity flag.
293 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
295 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
296 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
298 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
300 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
301 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
302 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
303 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
304 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
305 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
306 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
307 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
308 getting moved aside).
310 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
311 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
313 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
315 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
316 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
317 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
318 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
319 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
320 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
321 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
322 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
323 the prototype, but never sets it.
325 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
326 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
327 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
328 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
329 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
330 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
332 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
333 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
334 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
335 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
336 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
338 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
340 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
341 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
344 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
345 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
346 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
347 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
348 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
349 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
350 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
352 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
354 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
356 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
357 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
358 this works on other systems.
360 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
362 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
363 checks for write failures.
365 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
367 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
369 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
372 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
374 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
376 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
378 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
379 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
382 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
384 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
385 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
386 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
387 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
389 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
391 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
392 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
395 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
396 as well as Makefiles.
398 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
400 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
401 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
402 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
403 should make maintainability easier.
405 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
406 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
407 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
408 whatever you know works.
410 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
412 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
413 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
414 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
416 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
417 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
418 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
419 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
421 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
422 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
423 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
425 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
426 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
427 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
428 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
429 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
431 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
432 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
433 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
434 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
435 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
436 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
437 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
438 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
439 from the BSD version.
441 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
442 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
443 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
445 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
448 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
451 This happens on solaris:
454 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
455 No manual entry for mts.conf.
459 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
461 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
462 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
464 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
466 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
467 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
468 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
469 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
470 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
471 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
472 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
473 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
474 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
475 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
476 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
478 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
479 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
480 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
481 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
482 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
483 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
486 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
487 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
488 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
489 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
490 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
492 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
493 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
495 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
497 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
498 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
499 to stdin, such as exmh.
501 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
502 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
503 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
506 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
508 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
509 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
510 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
511 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
512 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
513 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
514 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
516 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
518 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
519 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
521 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
523 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
524 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
526 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
528 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
531 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
532 along with any -host or -user option.
534 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
536 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
538 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
539 process was fresh in my mind.
541 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
543 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
544 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
546 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
548 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
550 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
553 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
554 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
555 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
556 part of the program's name.
558 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
559 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
562 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
564 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
565 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
566 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
567 single-character format would cause programs using this
568 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
569 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
570 when the format string was one character. This eventually
571 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
574 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
576 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
577 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
578 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
579 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
580 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
581 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
583 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
584 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
585 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
586 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
587 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
588 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
589 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
590 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
592 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
593 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
594 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
595 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
596 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
597 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
598 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
599 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
600 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
601 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
603 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
606 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
608 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
609 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
611 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
616 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
618 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
619 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
620 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
621 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
623 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
624 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
625 problem in the routine.
627 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
629 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
630 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
632 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
633 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
634 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
637 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
639 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
640 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
641 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
642 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
643 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
644 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
645 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
646 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
647 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
648 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
650 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
652 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
653 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
654 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
655 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
656 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
657 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
658 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
659 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
660 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
661 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
662 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
663 interesting than a duplication of the default.
665 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
666 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
667 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
668 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
669 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
671 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
674 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
676 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
677 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
678 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
679 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
682 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
684 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
686 * Applied, after some finessing,
687 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
689 Here's a patch that allows you to add
691 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
693 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
694 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
695 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
696 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
698 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
700 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
701 forgetting to do so!).
703 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
704 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
705 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
706 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
707 arguments to enable all three types.
709 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
710 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
712 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
713 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
714 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
715 updated copy of mts.conf.
717 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
719 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
720 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
721 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
723 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
725 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
727 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
728 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
729 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
731 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
732 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
733 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
735 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
736 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
737 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
739 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
741 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
743 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
745 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
747 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
748 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
750 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
751 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
752 certain suffix to run properly.
754 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
755 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
756 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
758 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
759 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
760 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
761 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
762 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
763 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
764 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
766 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
768 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
769 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
770 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
771 until some year far in the future).
773 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
775 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
777 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
778 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
780 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
781 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
784 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
786 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
787 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
788 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
789 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
790 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
791 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
793 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
795 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
797 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
798 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
799 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
801 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
802 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
803 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
804 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
805 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
806 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
809 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
810 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
811 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
812 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
813 of masquerading individually.
815 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
816 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
817 GECOS field delimiters.
819 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
821 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
822 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
823 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
824 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
825 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
826 and explaining the feature.
828 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
830 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
831 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
834 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
835 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
836 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
838 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
839 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
840 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
841 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
843 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
844 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
845 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
848 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
850 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
853 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
855 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
857 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
858 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
859 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
860 quotes embedded in them.
862 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
864 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
865 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
866 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
867 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
868 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
869 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
870 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
873 The other theory is that because you can say something like
874 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
875 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
876 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
877 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
879 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
881 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
883 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
884 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
885 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
886 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
888 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
891 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
893 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
895 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
897 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
898 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
899 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
901 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
904 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
906 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
907 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
908 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
909 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
910 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
911 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
913 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
914 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
916 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
918 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
921 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
923 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
924 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
925 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
928 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
929 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
930 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
931 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
932 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
933 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
934 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
935 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
936 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
937 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
938 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
939 processing that post has).
941 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
943 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
944 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
945 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
946 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
947 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
948 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
951 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
953 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
955 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
957 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
959 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
960 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
962 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
965 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
967 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
968 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
969 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
972 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
974 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
975 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
976 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
977 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
978 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
979 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
981 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
983 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
985 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
987 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
988 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
989 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
990 caught again. This works for now.
992 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
994 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
996 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
997 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
999 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1001 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1002 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1004 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1006 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1008 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1010 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1011 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1013 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1015 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1016 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1017 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1018 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1019 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1022 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1024 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1025 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1026 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1028 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1029 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1032 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1034 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1035 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1036 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1038 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1040 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1041 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1043 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1045 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1048 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1049 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1051 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1052 macros, regardless of platform.
1054 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1055 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1057 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1058 with x-conversions=gzip.
1060 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1062 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1065 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1066 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1067 implicit definition of ioctl().
1069 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1070 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1071 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1072 want to mess with them.
1074 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1076 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1077 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1079 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1080 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1082 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1083 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1084 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1086 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1087 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1088 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1090 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1091 function initgroups.
1093 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1096 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1097 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1100 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1101 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1104 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1105 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1109 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1111 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1112 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1113 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1115 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1116 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1118 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1120 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1122 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1123 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1124 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1125 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1127 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1128 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1130 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1132 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1134 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1136 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1137 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1139 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1141 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1142 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1144 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1145 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1146 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1147 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1149 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1150 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1152 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1154 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1155 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1157 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1159 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1160 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1163 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1165 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1167 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1169 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1170 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1172 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1173 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1174 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1176 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1177 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1178 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1180 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1181 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1182 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1184 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1185 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1188 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1189 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1191 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1192 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1194 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1195 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1197 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1198 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1199 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1201 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1202 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1204 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1205 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1206 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1208 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1209 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1212 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1213 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1215 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1216 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1217 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1218 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1220 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1221 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1223 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1227 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1228 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1229 would not be changed.
1231 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1232 one from the Apache web server.
1234 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1235 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1237 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1238 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1239 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1241 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1243 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1245 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1246 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1249 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1250 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1251 removes a bad race condition.
1253 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1256 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1257 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1258 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1260 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1261 sequence information.
1263 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1264 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1266 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1269 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1272 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1274 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1275 interpret 034 as octal.
1277 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1279 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1280 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1282 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1283 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1285 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1286 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1288 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1289 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1291 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1292 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1294 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1295 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1296 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1298 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1299 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1300 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1302 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1304 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1306 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1307 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1310 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1312 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1313 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1315 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1316 header field information.
1318 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1319 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1321 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1322 values when parsing a content.
1324 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1325 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1327 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1328 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1330 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1331 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1333 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1334 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1336 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1338 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1340 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1342 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1344 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1345 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1348 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1349 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1351 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1352 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1353 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1354 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1355 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1356 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1359 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1361 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1362 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1363 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1365 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1366 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1368 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1370 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1371 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1372 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1373 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1375 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1376 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1379 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1380 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1381 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1382 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1385 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1387 * Released nmh-0.27.
1389 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1390 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1392 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1393 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1394 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1395 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1398 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1399 mhbuild returns an error.
1401 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1402 rename the draft file.
1404 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1405 use a global variable.
1407 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1408 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1410 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1411 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1413 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1414 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1415 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1417 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1418 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1420 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1421 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1424 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1425 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1428 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1429 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1431 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1432 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1433 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1435 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1436 to new function output_content_folder.
1438 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1439 new function output_content_file.
1441 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1442 to new function parse_format_string.
1444 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1445 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1446 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1447 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1449 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1450 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1451 message/external file from ftp.
1453 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1454 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1455 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1457 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1458 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1461 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1464 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1465 new file mhstoresbr.c
1467 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1470 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1471 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1473 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1474 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1476 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1477 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1478 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1480 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1482 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1484 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1485 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1488 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1489 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1491 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1494 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1496 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1498 * Released nmh-0.26.
1500 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1501 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1502 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1503 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1505 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1506 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1507 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1508 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1509 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1511 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1512 But it is not on by default.
1514 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1515 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1517 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1519 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1521 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1523 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1525 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1526 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1528 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1530 * Released nmh-0.25.
1532 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1533 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1534 uses the original name of the library.
1536 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1537 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1540 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1541 list_content and list_debug.
1543 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1545 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1546 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1548 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1550 * Released nmh-0.24.
1552 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1554 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1555 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1557 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1558 large sequence line.
1560 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1562 * Released nmh-0.23.
1564 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1566 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1567 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1568 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1569 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1571 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1572 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1575 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1577 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1579 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1581 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1582 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1584 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1585 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1587 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1588 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1590 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1591 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1593 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1595 * Released nmh-0.22.
1597 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1598 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1600 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1602 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1603 mh-profile(5) man page.
1605 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1606 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1608 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1610 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1612 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1613 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1615 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1617 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1618 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1619 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1621 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1622 source message on the standard input.
1624 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1626 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1627 rather than -rfc934mode.
1629 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1630 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1633 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1634 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1636 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1639 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1641 * Released nmh-0.21.
1643 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1644 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1646 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1649 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1650 to use for text contents.
1652 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1654 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1656 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1658 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1660 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1661 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1663 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1664 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1665 spaces between encoded word are.
1667 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1669 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1670 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1672 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1673 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1674 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1676 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1678 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1679 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1681 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1683 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1685 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1686 ISO-8859-X character set.
1688 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1691 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1692 permissions, not write permissions.
1694 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1695 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1697 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1700 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1702 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1704 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1705 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1707 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1708 message contains valid character set.
1710 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1711 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1713 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1714 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1716 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1717 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1718 between an encoded word and normal text.
1720 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1721 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1723 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1724 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1726 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1729 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1730 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1733 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1734 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1736 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1737 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1739 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1741 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1743 * Released nmh-0.20.
1745 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1747 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1749 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1750 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1751 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1753 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1754 and the To: line was missing.
1756 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1758 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1760 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1762 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1763 watch the POP transaction.
1765 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1766 first, and use it if available.
1768 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1769 first, and use it if available.
1771 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1773 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1775 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1776 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1777 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1780 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1781 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1782 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1784 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1785 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1788 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1790 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1791 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1793 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1795 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1796 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1798 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1799 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1800 message to which you are replying.
1802 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1803 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1804 making group replies.
1806 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1808 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1810 * Released nmh-0.19.
1812 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1813 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1815 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1816 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1817 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1818 to the end of the man page.
1820 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1821 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1822 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1823 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1824 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1825 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1827 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1830 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1831 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1832 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1834 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1835 the next available number above the message number you wish
1838 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1839 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1841 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1842 file sbr/seq_print.c
1844 * flist will now update the current folder.
1846 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1847 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1848 but now undocumented.
1850 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1853 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1854 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1856 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1858 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1859 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1861 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1863 * Released nmh-0.18.
1865 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1866 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1867 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1869 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1870 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1872 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1873 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1874 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1875 previous public/private status.
1877 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1880 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1883 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1884 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1885 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1887 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1888 take option to determine whether it should get current
1889 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1890 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1892 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1894 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1895 wait for stopped processes.
1897 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1898 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1900 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1902 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1904 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1905 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1907 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1908 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1910 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1911 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1912 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1913 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1915 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1918 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1921 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1923 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1924 the debugging output.
1926 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1927 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1929 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1931 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1933 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1934 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1936 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1938 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1939 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1940 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1941 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1942 in the given sequence.
1944 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1945 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1946 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1947 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1948 subdirectories of a given directory.
1950 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1951 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1952 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1954 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1955 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1957 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1959 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1962 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1963 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1964 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1966 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1967 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1968 are calculated at runtime.
1970 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1972 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1974 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1975 about checking for global mh.profile.
1977 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1978 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1979 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1980 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1981 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1982 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1984 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1985 adding message to folder itself.
1987 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1988 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1989 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1992 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1993 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1996 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1997 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1998 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2000 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2001 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2003 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2004 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2005 code to use it yet).
2007 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2009 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2011 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2012 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2014 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2015 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2017 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2019 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2022 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2024 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2026 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2028 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2030 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2031 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2033 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2035 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2037 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2039 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2041 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2043 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2044 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2046 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2047 configuration files.
2049 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2051 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2053 * Released nmh-0.17.
2055 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2057 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2058 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2060 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2063 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2064 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2066 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2067 number of refiled message.
2069 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2071 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2072 for return value of wait().
2074 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2076 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2078 * Released nmh-0.16.
2080 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2082 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2084 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2085 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2086 deal with binary messages, yet).
2088 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2090 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2092 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2093 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2094 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2095 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2096 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2097 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2099 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2100 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2102 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2103 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2105 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2106 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2109 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2111 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2113 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2114 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2117 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2120 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2122 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2123 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2124 which used unsigned chars by default.
2126 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2128 * Released nmh-0.15.
2130 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2131 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2133 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2135 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2137 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2140 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2141 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2142 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2144 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2145 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2147 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2149 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2150 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2152 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2153 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2154 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2155 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2157 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2158 and put in own subroutine.
2160 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2161 and put in own subroutine.
2163 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2164 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2165 refile.c to use new routine.
2167 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2169 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2171 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2174 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2175 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2176 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2178 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2181 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2182 adding message to sequence.
2184 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2185 corresponding file in sbr.
2187 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2190 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2192 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2193 all selected messages from a sequence.
2195 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2196 selected messages to a sequence.
2198 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2201 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2203 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2204 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2206 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2208 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2209 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2211 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2213 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2214 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2218 * Released nmh-0.14.
2220 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2221 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2223 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2226 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2227 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2228 environment variable.
2230 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2231 draft folder facility in nmh.
2233 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2236 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2240 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2243 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * Released nmh-0.13.
2247 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2248 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2249 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2250 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2253 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2254 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2256 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2258 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2259 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2261 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2263 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2264 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2266 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2268 * Released nmh-0.12.
2270 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
2272 * Released nmh-0.11.
2274 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2276 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2277 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2279 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2280 mp->attrstats with macros.
2282 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2285 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2288 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2289 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2291 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2292 will suppress the display of the message header.
2294 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2296 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2297 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2299 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2301 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2303 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2305 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2306 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2308 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2309 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2311 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2313 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2315 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2316 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2318 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2330 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2332 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2333 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2335 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2336 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2338 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2339 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2341 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2343 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2344 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2346 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2348 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2349 of missing tabs in regex.
2351 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2353 * Released nmh-0.09.

2371 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2373 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted

2376 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2379 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2381 * Released nmh-0.08.
2383 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2384 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2385 locking database itself.
2387 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2389 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2391 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2392 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2395 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2396 rather than mmdf format.
2398 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2399 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2400 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2401 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2403 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2405 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2407 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2410 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2411 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2412 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2414 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2415 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2416 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2418 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2420 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2421 can still easily change this in config.h).
2423 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2424 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2425 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2427 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2429 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2430 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2432 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2434 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

2441 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2443 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2444 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2446 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2447 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2450 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2451 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2454 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2456 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2458 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2460 * Added configure check for tzset.

2464 * Released nmh-0.06.
2466 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2467 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2469 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2470 many such machines around anymore.
2472 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2473 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2475 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2476 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2478 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2480 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2481 pre-generated version if necessary.
2483 * Released nmh-0.05.
2485 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2486 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2487 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2488 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2490 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2491 be linked in one pass.
2493 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2495 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2496 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2498 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2500 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2502 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2504 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2505 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2506 become the current folder.
2508 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2510 * Released nmh-0.04.
2512 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2515 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2517 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2518 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2519 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2521 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2523 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2524 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2526 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2529 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2532 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2533 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2535 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2537 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2538 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2539 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2540 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2541 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2542 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2544 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2546 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2547 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2549 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2550 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2552 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2554 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2555 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2557 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2559 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2560 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2561 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2563 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2565 * Released nmh-0.03.
2567 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2568 .mh_sequence file existed.
2570 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2571 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2573 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2574 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2577 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2579 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2582 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2584 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2585 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2586 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2588 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2590 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2591 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2592 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2594 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2596 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2597 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2599 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2601 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2603 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2604 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2605 directory from where the source code is located.
2607 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2609 * Released nmh-0.02.
2611 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2616 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2619 and sys_nerr directly.
2621 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2625 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2627 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2629 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2630 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2631 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2632 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2633 rather than in script.
2635 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2637 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2639 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2640 macro defined on Solaris.
2642 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2644 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2645 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2647 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2648 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2649 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2650 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2653 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2655 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2656 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2658 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2661 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2663 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2665 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2666 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2668 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2670 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2671 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2673 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2676 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2677 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2678 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2679 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2680 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2682 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2686 * Released nmh-0.01.
2688 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2689 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2690 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2693 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2695 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2698 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2700 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2701 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2703 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2705 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2706 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2707 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2708 script to find_program.
2710 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2712 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2713 speed up -recurse option.
2715 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2716 yet, but it compiles :-)
2718 * Changed default location for install to
2719 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2720 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2721 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2724 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2725 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2726 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
