1 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
4 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
7 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
8 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
9 read in the contents of the file as the variable
12 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
13 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
14 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
15 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
16 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
17 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
18 bold flags and italicized parameters.
20 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
22 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
23 --with-locking option.
25 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
26 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
27 information was not being communicated to the
28 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
29 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
30 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
31 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
32 undefined symbols problems.
34 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
35 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
36 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
37 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
38 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
39 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
40 for a genuine krb4 installation.
42 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
44 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
45 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
47 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
49 * Made a new ./configure option called
50 "--with-locking" that allows the file
51 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
52 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
54 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
55 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
56 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
57 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
58 the user that these are the valid options, and
59 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
62 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
64 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
65 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
66 committed to supporting flex only, since
67 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
68 string, as well as other problems documented
69 below and on nmh-workers.
71 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
72 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
73 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
76 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
77 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
79 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
81 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
82 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
83 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
85 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
87 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
88 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
90 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
92 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
93 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
94 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
95 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
96 couldn't correctly identify them.
98 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
100 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
101 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
102 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
103 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
104 not depending on an external archive.
106 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
107 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
108 mts/generic is no longer built.
110 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
112 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
113 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
114 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
115 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
116 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
117 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
118 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
119 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
121 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
123 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
124 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
127 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
129 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
130 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
131 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
134 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
135 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
136 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
137 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
139 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
140 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
141 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
142 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
143 merged into the smtp code).
145 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
146 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
147 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
150 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
151 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
152 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
153 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
154 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
155 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
156 in the appropriate Makefile.in
158 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
160 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
161 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
162 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
163 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
164 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
165 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
166 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
167 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
168 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
169 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
170 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
172 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
174 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
175 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
176 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
177 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
178 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
179 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
180 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
181 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
182 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
184 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
186 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
187 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
190 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
192 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
193 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
195 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
197 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
198 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
199 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
200 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
202 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
204 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
205 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
206 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
207 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
208 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
210 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
211 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
213 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
215 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
217 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
218 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
219 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
220 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
222 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
223 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
224 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
225 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
227 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
228 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
229 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
230 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
232 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
233 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
234 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
236 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
238 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
239 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
240 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
241 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
242 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
243 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
246 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
247 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
249 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
250 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
252 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
254 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
256 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
258 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
259 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
260 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
261 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
263 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
265 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
266 be easily changed from "," to "#".
268 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
270 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
272 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
273 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
276 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
278 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
279 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
280 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
281 but not for the subsequent data stream.
283 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
285 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
286 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
287 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
288 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
289 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
291 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
293 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
294 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
296 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
297 cat, also define lorder as echo.
299 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
301 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
303 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
304 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
305 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
307 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
309 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
312 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
313 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
315 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
317 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
318 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
320 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
322 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
323 inc does not need to be setgid.
325 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
327 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
328 library, as found on Debian systems.
330 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
332 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
334 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
335 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
336 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
337 case-insensitivity flag.
339 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
341 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
342 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
344 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
346 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
347 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
348 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
349 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
350 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
351 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
352 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
353 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
354 getting moved aside).
356 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
357 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
359 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
361 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
362 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
363 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
364 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
365 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
366 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
367 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
368 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
369 the prototype, but never sets it.
371 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
372 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
373 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
374 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
375 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
376 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
378 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
379 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
380 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
381 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
382 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
384 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
386 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
387 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
390 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
391 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
392 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
393 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
394 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
395 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
396 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
398 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
400 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
402 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
403 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
404 this works on other systems.
406 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
408 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
409 checks for write failures.
411 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
413 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
415 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
418 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
420 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
422 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
424 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
425 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
428 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
430 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
431 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
432 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
433 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
435 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
437 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
438 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
441 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
442 as well as Makefiles.
444 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
446 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
447 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
448 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
449 should make maintainability easier.
451 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
452 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
453 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
454 whatever you know works.
456 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
458 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
459 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
460 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
462 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
463 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
464 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
465 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
467 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
468 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
469 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
471 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
472 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
473 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
474 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
475 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
477 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
478 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
479 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
480 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
481 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
482 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
483 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
484 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
485 from the BSD version.
487 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
488 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
489 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
491 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
494 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
497 This happens on solaris:
500 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
501 No manual entry for mts.conf.
505 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
507 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
508 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
510 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
512 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
513 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
514 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
515 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
516 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
517 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
518 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
519 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
520 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
521 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
522 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
524 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
525 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
526 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
527 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
528 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
529 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
532 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
533 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
534 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
535 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
536 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
538 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
539 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
541 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
543 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
544 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
545 to stdin, such as exmh.
547 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
548 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
549 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
552 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
554 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
555 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
556 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
557 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
558 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
559 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
560 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
562 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
564 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
565 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
567 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
569 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
570 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
572 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
574 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
577 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
578 along with any -host or -user option.
580 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
582 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
584 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
585 process was fresh in my mind.
587 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
589 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
590 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
592 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
594 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
596 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
599 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
600 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
601 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
602 part of the program's name.
604 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
605 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
608 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
610 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
611 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
612 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
613 single-character format would cause programs using this
614 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
615 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
616 when the format string was one character. This eventually
617 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
620 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
622 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
623 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
624 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
625 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
626 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
627 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
629 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
630 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
631 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
632 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
633 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
634 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
635 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
636 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
638 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
639 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
640 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
641 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
642 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
643 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
644 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
645 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
646 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
647 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
649 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
651 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
652 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
654 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
655 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
657 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
662 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
664 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
665 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
666 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
667 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
669 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
670 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
671 problem in the routine.
673 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
675 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
676 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
678 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
679 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
680 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
683 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
685 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
686 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
687 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
688 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
689 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
690 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
691 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
692 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
693 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
694 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
696 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
698 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
699 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
700 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
701 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
702 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
703 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
704 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
705 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
706 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
707 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
708 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
709 interesting than a duplication of the default.
711 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
712 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
713 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
714 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
715 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
717 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
720 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
722 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
723 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
724 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
725 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
728 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
730 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
732 * Applied, after some finessing,
733 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
735 Here's a patch that allows you to add
737 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
739 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
740 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
741 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
742 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
744 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
746 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
747 forgetting to do so!).
749 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
750 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
751 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
752 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
753 arguments to enable all three types.
755 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
756 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
758 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
759 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
760 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
761 updated copy of mts.conf.
763 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
765 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
766 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
767 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
769 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
771 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
773 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
774 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
775 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
777 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
778 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
779 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
781 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
782 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
783 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
785 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
787 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
789 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
791 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
793 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
794 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
796 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
797 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
798 certain suffix to run properly.
800 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
801 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
802 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
804 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
805 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
806 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
807 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
808 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
809 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
810 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
812 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
814 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
815 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
816 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
817 until some year far in the future).
819 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
821 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
823 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
824 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
826 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
827 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
830 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
832 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
833 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
834 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
835 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
836 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
837 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
839 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
843 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
844 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
845 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
847 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
848 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
849 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
850 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
851 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
852 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
855 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
856 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
857 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
858 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
859 of masquerading individually.
861 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
862 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
863 GECOS field delimiters.
865 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
867 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
868 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
869 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
870 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
871 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
872 and explaining the feature.
874 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
876 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
877 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
880 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
881 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
882 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
884 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
885 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
886 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
887 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
889 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
890 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
891 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
894 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
896 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
899 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
901 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
903 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
904 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
905 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
906 quotes embedded in them.
908 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
910 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
911 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
912 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
913 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
914 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
915 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
916 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
919 The other theory is that because you can say something like
920 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
921 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
922 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
923 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
925 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
927 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
929 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
930 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
931 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
932 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
934 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
937 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
939 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
941 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
943 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
944 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
945 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
947 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
950 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
952 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
953 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
954 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
955 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
956 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
957 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
959 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
960 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
962 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
964 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
967 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
969 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
970 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
971 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
974 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
975 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
976 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
977 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
978 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
979 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
980 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
981 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
982 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
983 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
984 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
985 processing that post has).
987 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
989 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
990 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
991 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
992 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
993 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
994 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
997 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
999 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1001 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1003 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1005 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1006 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1008 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1011 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1013 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1014 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1015 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1018 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1020 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1021 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1022 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1023 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1024 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1025 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1027 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1029 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1031 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1033 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1034 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1035 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1036 caught again. This works for now.
1038 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1040 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1042 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1043 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1045 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1047 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1048 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1050 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1052 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1054 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1056 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1057 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1059 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1061 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1062 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1063 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1064 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1065 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1068 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1070 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1071 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1072 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1074 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1075 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1078 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1080 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1081 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1082 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1084 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1086 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1087 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1089 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1091 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1094 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1095 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1097 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1098 macros, regardless of platform.
1100 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1101 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1103 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1104 with x-conversions=gzip.
1106 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1108 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1111 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1112 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1113 implicit definition of ioctl().
1115 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1116 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1117 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1118 want to mess with them.
1120 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1122 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1123 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1125 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1126 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1128 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1129 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1130 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1132 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1133 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1134 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1136 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1137 function initgroups.
1139 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1142 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1143 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1146 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1147 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1150 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1151 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1155 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1157 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1158 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1159 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1161 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1162 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1164 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1166 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1168 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1169 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1170 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1171 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1173 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1174 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1176 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1178 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1180 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1182 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1183 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1185 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1187 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1188 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1190 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1191 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1192 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1193 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1195 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1196 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1198 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1200 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1201 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1203 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1205 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1206 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1209 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1211 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1213 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1215 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1216 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1218 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1219 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1220 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1222 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1223 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1224 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1226 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1227 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1228 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1230 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1231 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1234 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1235 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1237 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1238 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1240 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1241 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1243 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1244 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1245 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1247 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1248 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1250 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1251 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1252 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1254 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1255 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1258 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1259 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1261 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1262 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1263 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1264 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1266 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1267 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1269 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1273 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1274 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1275 would not be changed.
1277 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1278 one from the Apache web server.
1280 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1281 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1283 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1284 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1285 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1287 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1289 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1291 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1292 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1295 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1296 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1297 removes a bad race condition.
1299 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1302 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1303 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1304 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1306 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1307 sequence information.
1309 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1310 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1312 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1315 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1318 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1320 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1321 interpret 034 as octal.
1323 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1325 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1326 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1328 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1329 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1331 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1332 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1334 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1335 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1337 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1338 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1340 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1341 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1342 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1344 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1345 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1346 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1348 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1350 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1352 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1353 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1356 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1358 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1359 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1361 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1362 header field information.
1364 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1365 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1367 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1368 values when parsing a content.
1370 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1371 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1373 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1374 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1376 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1377 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1379 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1380 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1382 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1384 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1386 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1388 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1390 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1391 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1394 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1395 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1397 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1398 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1399 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1400 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1401 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1402 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1405 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1407 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1408 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1409 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1411 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1412 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1414 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1416 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1417 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1418 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1419 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1421 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1422 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1425 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1426 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1427 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1428 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1431 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1433 * Released nmh-0.27.
1435 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1436 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1438 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1439 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1440 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1441 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1444 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1445 mhbuild returns an error.
1447 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1448 rename the draft file.
1450 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1451 use a global variable.
1453 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1454 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1456 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1457 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1459 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1460 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1461 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1463 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1464 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1466 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1467 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1470 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1471 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1474 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1475 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1477 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1478 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1479 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1481 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1482 to new function output_content_folder.
1484 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1485 new function output_content_file.
1487 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1488 to new function parse_format_string.
1490 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1491 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1492 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1493 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1495 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1496 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1497 message/external file from ftp.
1499 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1500 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1501 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1503 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1504 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1507 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1510 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1511 new file mhstoresbr.c
1513 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1516 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1517 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1519 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1520 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1522 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1523 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1524 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1526 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1528 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1530 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1531 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1534 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1535 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1537 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1540 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1542 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1544 * Released nmh-0.26.
1546 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1547 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1548 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1549 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1551 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1552 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1553 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1554 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1555 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1557 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1558 But it is not on by default.
1560 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1561 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1563 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1565 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1567 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1569 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1571 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1572 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1574 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1576 * Released nmh-0.25.
1578 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1579 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1580 uses the original name of the library.
1582 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1583 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1586 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1587 list_content and list_debug.
1589 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1591 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1592 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1594 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1596 * Released nmh-0.24.
1598 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1600 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1601 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1603 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1604 large sequence line.
1606 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1608 * Released nmh-0.23.
1610 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1612 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1613 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1614 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1615 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1617 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1618 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1621 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1623 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1625 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1627 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1628 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1630 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1631 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1633 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1634 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1636 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1637 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1639 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1641 * Released nmh-0.22.
1643 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1644 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1646 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1648 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1649 mh-profile(5) man page.
1651 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1652 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1654 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1656 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1658 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1659 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1661 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1663 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1664 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1665 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1667 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1668 source message on the standard input.
1670 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1672 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1673 rather than -rfc934mode.
1675 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1676 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1679 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1680 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1682 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1685 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1687 * Released nmh-0.21.
1689 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1690 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1692 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1695 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1696 to use for text contents.
1698 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1700 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1702 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1704 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1706 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1707 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1709 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1710 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1711 spaces between encoded word are.
1713 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1715 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1716 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1718 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1719 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1720 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1722 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1724 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1725 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1727 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1729 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1731 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1732 ISO-8859-X character set.
1734 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1737 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1738 permissions, not write permissions.
1740 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1741 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1743 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1746 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1748 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1750 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1751 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1753 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1754 message contains valid character set.
1756 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1757 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1759 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1760 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1762 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1763 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1764 between an encoded word and normal text.
1766 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1767 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1769 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1770 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1772 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1775 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1776 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1779 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1780 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1782 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1783 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1785 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1787 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1789 * Released nmh-0.20.
1791 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1793 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1795 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1796 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1797 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1799 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1800 and the To: line was missing.
1802 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1804 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1806 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1808 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1809 watch the POP transaction.
1811 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1812 first, and use it if available.
1814 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1815 first, and use it if available.
1817 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1819 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1821 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1822 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1823 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1826 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1827 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1828 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1830 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1831 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1834 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1836 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1837 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1839 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1841 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1842 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1844 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1845 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1846 message to which you are replying.
1848 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1849 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1850 making group replies.
1852 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1854 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1856 * Released nmh-0.19.
1858 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1859 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1861 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1862 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1863 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1864 to the end of the man page.
1866 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1867 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1868 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1869 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1870 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1871 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1873 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1876 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1877 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1878 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1880 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1881 the next available number above the message number you wish
1884 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1885 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1887 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1888 file sbr/seq_print.c
1890 * flist will now update the current folder.
1892 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1893 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1894 but now undocumented.
1896 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1899 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1900 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1902 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1904 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1905 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1907 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1909 * Released nmh-0.18.
1911 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1912 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1913 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1915 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1916 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1918 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1919 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1920 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1921 previous public/private status.
1923 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1926 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1929 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1930 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1931 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1933 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1934 take option to determine whether it should get current
1935 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1936 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1938 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1940 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1941 wait for stopped processes.
1943 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1944 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1946 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1948 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1950 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1951 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1953 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1954 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1956 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1957 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1958 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1959 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1961 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1964 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1967 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1969 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1970 the debugging output.
1972 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1973 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1975 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1977 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1979 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1980 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1982 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1984 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1985 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1986 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1987 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1988 in the given sequence.
1990 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1991 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1992 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1993 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1994 subdirectories of a given directory.
1996 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1997 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1998 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2000 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2001 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2003 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2005 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2008 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2009 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2010 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2012 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2013 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2014 are calculated at runtime.
2016 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2018 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2020 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2021 about checking for global mh.profile.
2023 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2024 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2025 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2026 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2027 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2028 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2030 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2031 adding message to folder itself.
2033 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2034 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2035 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2038 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2039 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2042 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2043 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2044 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2046 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2047 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2049 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2050 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2051 code to use it yet).
2053 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2055 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2057 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2058 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2060 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2061 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2063 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2065 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2068 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2070 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2072 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2074 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2076 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2077 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2079 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2081 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2083 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2085 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2087 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2089 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2090 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2092 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2093 configuration files.
2095 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2097 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2099 * Released nmh-0.17.
2101 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2103 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2104 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2106 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2109 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2110 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2112 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2113 number of refiled message.
2115 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2117 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2118 for return value of wait().
2120 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2122 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2124 * Released nmh-0.16.
2126 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2128 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2130 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2131 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2132 deal with binary messages, yet).
2134 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2136 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2138 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2139 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2140 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2141 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2142 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2143 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2145 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2146 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2148 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2149 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2151 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2152 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2155 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2157 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2159 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2160 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2163 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2166 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2168 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2169 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2170 which used unsigned chars by default.
2172 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2174 * Released nmh-0.15.
2176 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2177 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.

2181 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2183 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2186 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2187 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2188 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2190 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2191 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2193 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2195 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2196 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2198 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2199 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2200 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2201 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2203 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2204 and put in own subroutine.
2206 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2207 and put in own subroutine.
2209 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2210 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2211 refile.c to use new routine.
2213 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2215 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2217 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2220 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2221 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2222 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2224 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2227 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2228 adding message to sequence.
2230 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2231 corresponding file in sbr.
2233 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2236 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2238 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2239 all selected messages from a sequence.
2241 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2242 selected messages to a sequence.
2244 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2247 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2249 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2250 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2252 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2254 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2255 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2257 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2259 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2260 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2264 * Released nmh-0.14.
2266 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2267 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2269 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2271 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2272 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2273 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2274 environment variable.
2276 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2277 draft folder facility in nmh.
2279 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2282 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2286 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2289 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2291 * Released nmh-0.13.
2293 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2294 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2295 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2296 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2299 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2300 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2302 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2304 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2305 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2307 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2309 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2310 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2338 will suppress the display of the message header.
2340 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2342 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2345 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2347 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2349 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2354 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2355 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2357 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2359 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2361 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2362 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2364 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2365 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2367 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2369 * Released nmh-0.10.

2379 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2381 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2382 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2384 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2387 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2389 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2390 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2392 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2394 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2395 of missing tabs in regex.

2424 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2425 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2427 * Released nmh-0.08.
2429 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2430 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2431 locking database itself.
2433 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2435 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2437 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2438 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2441 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2442 rather than mmdf format.
2444 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2445 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2446 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2447 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2449 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2451 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2453 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2456 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2457 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2458 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2460 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2461 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2462 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2464 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2466 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2467 can still easily change this in config.h).
2469 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2470 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2471 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2473 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2475 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2476 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2487 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2489 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2490 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2492 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2493 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2496 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2497 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2510 * Released nmh-0.06.
2512 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2513 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2515 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2516 many such machines around anymore.
2518 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2519 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2521 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2522 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2524 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2526 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2527 pre-generated version if necessary.
2529 * Released nmh-0.05.
2531 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2532 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2533 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2534 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2536 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2537 be linked in one pass.
2539 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2541 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2542 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2544 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2546 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2548 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2550 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2551 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2552 become the current folder.
2554 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2556 * Released nmh-0.04.
2558 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2561 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2564 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2565 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2567 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2569 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2570 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2572 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2574 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2575 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2578 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2579 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2581 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2583 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2584 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2585 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2586 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2587 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2588 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2590 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2592 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2593 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2595 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2596 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2598 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2600 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2601 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2603 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2605 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2606 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2607 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2609 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2611 * Released nmh-0.03.
2613 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2614 .mh_sequence file existed.
2616 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2617 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2619 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2620 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2623 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2625 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2628 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2630 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2631 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2632 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2634 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2636 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2637 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2638 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2640 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2642 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2643 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2645 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2647 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2649 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2650 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2651 directory from where the source code is located.
2653 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2655 * Released nmh-0.02.
2657 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2662 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2664 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2665 and sys_nerr directly.
2667 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2669 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2671 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2673 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2676 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2677 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2678 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2679 rather than in script.
2681 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2683 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2685 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2686 macro defined on Solaris.
2688 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2690 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2691 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2693 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2694 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2695 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2696 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2699 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2701 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2702 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2704 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2707 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2709 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2711 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2712 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2714 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2716 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2717 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2719 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2721 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2722 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2723 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2724 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2725 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2726 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2728 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2732 * Released nmh-0.01.
2734 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2735 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2736 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2739 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2741 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2744 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2747 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2749 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2751 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2752 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2753 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2754 script to find_program.
2756 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2758 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2759 speed up -recurse option.
2761 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2762 yet, but it compiles :-)
2764 * Changed default location for install to
2765 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2766 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2767 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2770 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2771 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2772 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
