1 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
4 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults. (Ported from
7 2008-05-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
9 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
10 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
11 This allows users to masquerade with the default
12 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
13 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
14 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
15 etc/mts.conf. (Ported from trunk.)
17 2008-05-20 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
19 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $<
20 in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only
21 defined in inference rules. (Ported from trunk.)
23 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
25 * Released nmh-1.3 RC2.
27 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
29 * Fixes ported from trunk:
31 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
32 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
33 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
34 ruserpass() has a void return type.
36 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
37 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
38 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
39 provide memmove() substitute implementation
41 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
42 source directory' feature
44 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
45 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
47 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
49 * Fixes ported from trunk:
51 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
52 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
53 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
56 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
57 is the wrong approach.
59 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
60 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
61 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
64 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
65 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
66 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
67 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
68 broken for continued lines from the server.
70 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
72 * Port fix from trunk for SASL not working with newer libsasl.
74 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
76 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
78 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
80 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
81 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
82 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
83 obsolete feature of autoconf
85 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
87 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
88 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
89 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
91 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
93 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
94 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
96 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
98 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
101 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
103 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
104 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
105 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
106 following done() (should never be reached).
108 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
110 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
111 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
113 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
115 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
116 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
118 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
120 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
121 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
122 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
123 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
124 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
125 acconfig.h if you must.
127 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
129 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
130 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
131 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
132 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
134 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
136 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
139 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
141 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
142 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
143 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
144 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
145 have Content-Disposition.
147 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
149 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
152 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
154 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
155 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
157 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
159 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
160 encoded block is empty
162 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
164 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
165 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
166 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
169 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
171 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
172 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
175 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
177 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
178 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
179 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
180 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
183 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
184 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
186 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
188 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
189 function num_digits into utils.c
191 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
193 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
194 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
195 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
197 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
199 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
200 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
201 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
202 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
203 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
204 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
205 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
206 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
208 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
210 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
211 Content-Disposition header.
213 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
215 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
216 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
217 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
218 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
219 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
220 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
221 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
222 users to easily accomodate that by adding
223 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
225 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
227 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
228 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
230 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
232 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
234 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
235 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
237 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
238 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
240 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
242 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
243 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
244 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
245 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
246 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
249 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
251 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
252 widths, restoring right justification feature
254 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
256 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
257 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
258 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
260 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
263 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
265 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
266 handling multi column characters.
268 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
270 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
272 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
274 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
275 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
278 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
280 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
282 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
284 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
287 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
289 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
292 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
294 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
295 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
296 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
297 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
299 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
301 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
302 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
303 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
304 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
305 where configure's autodetection fails.
307 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
309 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
310 configure script change.
312 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
314 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
315 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
316 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
319 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
321 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
322 the context is only read once.
324 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
326 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
327 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
329 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
331 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
332 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
334 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
335 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
338 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
339 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
342 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
344 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
345 vi isn't found during build.
347 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
349 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
350 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
352 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
353 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
354 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
356 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
358 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
359 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
361 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
362 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
363 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
364 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
367 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
368 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
369 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
371 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
372 entry in the context file.
374 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
376 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
377 problems on some systems
379 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
380 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
382 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
384 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
385 sendmail isn't found during build.
387 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
389 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
391 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
393 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
394 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
396 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
397 references to the web page and mailing list locations
399 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
400 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
402 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
405 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
407 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
408 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
409 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
411 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
412 was configured with --enable-apop.
414 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
415 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
416 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
418 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
419 new versions of flex.
421 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
422 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
423 doesn't guess wrongly.
425 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
427 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
428 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
430 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
431 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
433 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
434 files with numbers as names
436 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
438 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
440 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
442 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
444 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
445 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
447 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
449 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
452 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
453 test/report error writing to stdout
455 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
457 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
459 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
460 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
461 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
463 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
464 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
465 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
467 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
469 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
470 character set used by the current locale
472 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
473 message's filename overflows an int when converted
475 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
476 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
478 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
480 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
483 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
485 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
486 from Michael Richardson.
488 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
489 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
491 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
493 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
494 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
496 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
498 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
499 find sub-parts of the specified part
501 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
503 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
504 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
505 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
506 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
507 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
508 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
509 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
512 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
514 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
515 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
516 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
519 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
520 refiling with -src option.
522 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
524 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
526 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
528 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
529 mailpath being overwritten.
531 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
533 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
534 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
535 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
536 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
537 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
538 reinitializes the tmp file string.
540 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
541 if a format string was read from the profile.
543 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
544 path for the external hook.
546 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
548 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
549 another location for ndbm.
551 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
553 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
555 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
557 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:

570 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
572 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
573 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
574 contitional code which will result in cached data to
575 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
576 and parse on the first use.
577 * Remove some unused flag bits.
579 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
581 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
582 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
584 #578 - repl leaks umask
585 #1393 - sortm core dumps
586 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
587 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
588 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
590 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
591 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
593 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
595 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
596 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
598 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
600 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
601 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
602 to docs/README.about.
604 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
606 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
608 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
609 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
610 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
611 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
614 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
616 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
617 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
618 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
619 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
620 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
621 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
624 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
625 summary configure prints out.
627 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
628 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
629 subjectively more readable) format.
631 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
633 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
636 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
638 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
639 19xx when it's not necessary.
641 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
643 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
644 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
647 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
648 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
649 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
650 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
651 the man pages correctly.
653 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
655 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
657 * Finished manpages ali-prev
659 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
660 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
661 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
664 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
665 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
666 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
667 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
669 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
671 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
672 the formatting rules I've been using.
676 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
678 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
679 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
680 used in the manpages.
682 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
683 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
684 read in the contents of the file as the variable
687 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
688 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
689 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
690 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
691 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
692 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
693 bold flags and italicized parameters.
695 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
697 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
698 --with-locking option.
700 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
701 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
702 information was not being communicated to the
703 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
704 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
705 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
706 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
707 undefined symbols problems.
709 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
710 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
711 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
712 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
713 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
714 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
715 for a genuine krb4 installation.
717 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
719 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
720 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
722 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
724 * Made a new ./configure option called
725 "--with-locking" that allows the file
726 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
727 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
729 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
730 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
731 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
732 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
733 the user that these are the valid options, and
734 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
737 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
739 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
740 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
741 committed to supporting flex only, since
742 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
743 string, as well as other problems documented
744 below and on nmh-workers.
746 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
747 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
748 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
751 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
752 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
754 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
756 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
757 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
758 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
760 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
762 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
763 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
765 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
767 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
768 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
769 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
770 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
771 couldn't correctly identify them.
773 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
775 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
776 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
777 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
778 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
779 not depending on an external archive.
781 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
782 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
783 mts/generic is no longer built.
785 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
787 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
788 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
789 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
790 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
791 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
792 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
793 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
794 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
796 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
798 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
799 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
802 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
804 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
805 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
806 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
809 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
810 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
811 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
812 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
814 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
815 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
816 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
817 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
818 merged into the smtp code).
820 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
821 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
822 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
825 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
826 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
827 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
828 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
829 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
830 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
831 in the appropriate Makefile.in
833 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
835 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
836 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
837 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
838 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
839 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
840 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
841 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
842 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
843 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
844 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
845 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
847 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
849 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
850 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
851 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
852 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
853 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
854 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
855 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
856 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
857 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
859 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
861 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
862 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
865 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
867 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
868 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
870 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
872 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
873 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
874 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
875 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
877 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
879 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
880 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
881 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
882 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
883 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
885 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
886 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
888 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
890 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
892 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
893 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
894 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
895 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
897 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
898 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
899 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
900 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
902 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
903 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
904 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
905 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
907 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
908 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
909 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
911 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
913 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
914 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
915 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
916 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
917 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
918 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
921 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
922 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
924 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
925 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
927 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
929 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
931 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
933 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
934 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
935 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
936 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
938 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
940 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
941 be easily changed from "," to "#".
943 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
945 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
947 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
948 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
951 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
954 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
955 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
956 but not for the subsequent data stream.
958 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
960 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
961 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
962 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
963 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
964 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
966 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
968 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
969 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
971 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
972 cat, also define lorder as echo.
974 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
976 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
978 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
979 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
980 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
982 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
984 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
987 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
988 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
990 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
992 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
993 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
995 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
997 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
998 inc does not need to be setgid.
1000 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1002 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1003 library, as found on Debian systems.
1005 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1007 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1009 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1010 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1011 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1012 case-insensitivity flag.
1014 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1016 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1017 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1019 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1021 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1022 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1023 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1024 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1025 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1026 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1027 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1028 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1029 getting moved aside).
1031 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1032 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1034 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1036 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1037 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1038 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1039 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1040 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1041 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1042 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1043 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1044 the prototype, but never sets it.
1046 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1047 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1048 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1049 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1050 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1051 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1053 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1054 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1055 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1056 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1057 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1059 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1061 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1062 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1065 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1066 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1067 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1068 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1069 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1070 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1071 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1073 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1075 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1077 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1078 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1079 this works on other systems.
1081 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1083 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1084 checks for write failures.
1086 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1088 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1090 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1093 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1095 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1097 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1099 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1100 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1103 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1105 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1106 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1107 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1108 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1110 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1112 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1113 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1116 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1117 as well as Makefiles.
1119 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1121 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1122 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1123 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1124 should make maintainability easier.
1126 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1127 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1128 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1129 whatever you know works.
1131 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1133 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1134 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1135 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1137 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1138 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1139 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1140 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1142 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1143 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1144 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1146 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1147 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1148 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1149 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1150 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1152 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1153 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1154 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1155 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1156 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1157 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1158 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1159 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1160 from the BSD version.
1162 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1163 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1164 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1166 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1167 in ruserpass.c also.
1169 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1172 This happens on solaris:
1175 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1176 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1180 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1182 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1183 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1185 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1187 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1188 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1189 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1190 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1191 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1192 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1193 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1194 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1195 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1196 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1197 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1199 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1200 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1201 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1202 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1203 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1204 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1207 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1208 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1209 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1210 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1211 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1213 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1214 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1216 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1218 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1219 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1220 to stdin, such as exmh.
1222 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1223 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1224 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1227 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1229 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1230 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1231 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1232 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1233 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1234 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1235 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1237 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1239 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1240 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1242 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1245 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1247 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1249 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1252 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1253 along with any -host or -user option.
1255 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1257 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1259 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1260 process was fresh in my mind.
1262 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1264 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1265 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1267 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1269 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1271 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1274 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1275 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1276 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1277 part of the program's name.
1279 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1280 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1283 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1285 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1286 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1287 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1288 single-character format would cause programs using this
1289 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1290 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1291 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1292 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1295 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1297 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1298 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1299 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1300 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1301 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1302 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1304 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1305 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1306 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1307 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1308 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1309 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1310 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1311 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1313 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1314 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1315 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1316 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1317 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1318 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1319 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1320 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1321 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1322 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1324 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1326 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1327 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1329 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1330 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1332 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1337 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1339 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1340 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1341 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1342 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1344 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1345 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1346 problem in the routine.
1348 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1350 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1351 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1353 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1354 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1355 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1358 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1360 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1361 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1362 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1363 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1364 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1365 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1366 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1367 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1368 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1369 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1371 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1373 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1374 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1375 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1376 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1377 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1378 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1379 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1380 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1381 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1382 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1383 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1384 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1386 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1387 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1388 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1389 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1390 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1392 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1395 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1397 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1398 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1399 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1400 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1403 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1405 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1407 * Applied, after some finessing,
1408 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1410 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1412 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1414 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1415 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1416 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1417 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1419 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1421 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1422 forgetting to do so!).
1424 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1425 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1426 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1427 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1428 arguments to enable all three types.
1430 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1431 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1433 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1434 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1435 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1436 updated copy of mts.conf.
1438 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1440 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1441 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1442 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1444 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1446 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1448 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1449 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1450 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1452 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1453 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1454 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1456 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1457 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1458 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1460 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1462 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1464 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1466 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1468 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1469 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1471 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1472 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1473 certain suffix to run properly.
1475 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1476 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1477 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1479 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1480 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1481 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1482 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1483 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1484 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1485 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1487 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1489 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1490 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1491 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1492 until some year far in the future).
1494 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1496 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1498 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1499 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1501 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1502 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1505 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1507 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1508 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1509 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1510 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1511 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1512 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1514 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1516 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1518 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1519 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1520 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1522 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1523 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1524 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1525 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1526 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1527 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1530 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1531 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1532 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1533 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1534 of masquerading individually.
1536 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1537 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1538 GECOS field delimiters.
1540 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1542 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1543 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1544 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1545 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1546 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1547 and explaining the feature.
1549 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1551 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1552 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1555 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1556 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1557 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1559 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1560 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1561 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1562 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1564 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1565 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1566 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1569 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1571 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1572 code to be executed.
1574 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1576 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1578 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1579 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1580 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1581 quotes embedded in them.
1583 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1585 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1586 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1587 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1588 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1589 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1590 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1591 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1594 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1595 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1596 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1597 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1598 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1600 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1602 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1604 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1605 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1606 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1607 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1609 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1612 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1614 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1616 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1618 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1619 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1620 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1622 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1625 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1627 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1628 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1629 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1630 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1631 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1632 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1634 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1635 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1637 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1639 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1642 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1644 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1645 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1646 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1649 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1650 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1651 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1652 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1653 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1654 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1655 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1656 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1657 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1658 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1659 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1660 processing that post has).
1662 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1664 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1665 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1666 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1667 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1668 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1669 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1672 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1674 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1676 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1678 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1680 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1681 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1683 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1686 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1688 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1689 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1690 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1693 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1695 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1696 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1697 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1698 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1699 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1700 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1702 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1704 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1706 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1708 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1709 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1710 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1711 caught again. This works for now.
1713 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1715 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1717 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1718 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1720 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1722 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1723 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1725 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1727 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1729 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1731 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1732 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1734 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1736 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1737 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1738 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1739 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1740 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1743 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1745 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1746 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1747 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1749 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1750 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1753 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1755 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1756 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1757 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1759 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1761 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1762 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1764 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1766 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1769 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1770 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1772 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1773 macros, regardless of platform.
1775 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1776 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1778 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1779 with x-conversions=gzip.
1781 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1783 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1786 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1787 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1788 implicit definition of ioctl().
1790 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1791 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1792 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1793 want to mess with them.
1795 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1797 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1798 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1800 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1801 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1803 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1804 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1805 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1807 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1808 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1809 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1811 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1812 function initgroups.
1814 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1817 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1818 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1821 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1822 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1825 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1826 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1830 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1832 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1833 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1834 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1836 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1837 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1839 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1841 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1843 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1844 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1845 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1846 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1848 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1849 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1851 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1853 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1855 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1857 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1858 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1860 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1862 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1863 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1865 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1866 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1867 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1868 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1870 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1871 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1873 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1875 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1876 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1878 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1880 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1881 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1884 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1886 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1888 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1890 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1891 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1893 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1894 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1895 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1897 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1898 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1899 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1901 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1902 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1903 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1905 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1906 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1909 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1910 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1912 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1913 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1915 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1916 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1918 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1919 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1920 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1922 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1923 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1925 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1926 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1927 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1929 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1930 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1933 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1934 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1936 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1937 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1938 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1939 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1941 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1942 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1944 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1948 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1949 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1950 would not be changed.
1952 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1953 one from the Apache web server.
1955 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1956 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1958 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1959 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1960 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1962 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1964 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1966 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1967 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1970 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1971 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1972 removes a bad race condition.
1974 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1977 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1978 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1979 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1981 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1982 sequence information.
1984 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1985 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1987 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1990 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1993 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1995 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1996 interpret 034 as octal.
1998 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2000 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2001 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2003 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2004 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2006 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2007 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2009 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2010 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2012 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2013 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2015 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2016 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2017 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2019 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2020 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2021 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2023 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2025 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2027 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2028 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2031 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2033 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2034 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2036 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2037 header field information.
2039 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2040 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2042 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2043 values when parsing a content.
2045 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2046 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2048 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2049 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2051 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2052 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2054 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2055 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2057 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2059 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2061 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2063 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2065 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2066 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2069 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2070 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2072 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2073 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2074 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2075 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2076 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2077 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2080 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2082 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2083 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2084 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2086 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2087 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2089 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2091 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2092 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2093 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2094 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2096 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2097 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2100 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2101 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2102 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2103 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2106 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2108 * Released nmh-0.27.
2110 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2111 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2113 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2114 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2115 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2116 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2119 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2120 mhbuild returns an error.
2122 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2123 rename the draft file.
2125 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2126 use a global variable.
2128 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2129 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2131 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2132 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2134 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2135 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2136 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2138 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2139 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2141 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2142 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2145 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2146 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2149 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2150 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2152 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2153 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2154 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2156 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2157 to new function output_content_folder.
2159 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2160 new function output_content_file.
2162 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2163 to new function parse_format_string.
2165 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2166 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2167 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2168 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2170 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2171 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2172 message/external file from ftp.
2174 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2175 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2176 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2178 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2179 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2182 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2185 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2186 new file mhstoresbr.c
2188 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2191 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2192 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2194 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2195 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2197 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2198 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2199 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2201 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2203 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2205 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2206 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2209 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2210 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2212 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2215 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2217 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2219 * Released nmh-0.26.
2221 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2222 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2223 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2224 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2226 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2227 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2228 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2229 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2230 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2232 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2233 But it is not on by default.
2235 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2236 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2238 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2240 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2242 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2244 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2246 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2247 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2249 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2251 * Released nmh-0.25.
2253 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2254 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2255 uses the original name of the library.
2257 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2258 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2261 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2262 list_content and list_debug.
2264 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2266 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2267 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2269 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2271 * Released nmh-0.24.
2273 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2275 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2276 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2278 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2279 large sequence line.
2281 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2283 * Released nmh-0.23.
2285 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2287 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2288 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2289 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2290 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2292 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2293 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2296 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2298 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2300 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2302 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2303 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2305 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2306 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2308 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2309 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2311 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2312 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2314 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2316 * Released nmh-0.22.
2318 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2319 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2321 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2323 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2324 mh-profile(5) man page.
2326 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2327 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2329 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2331 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2333 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2334 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2336 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2338 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2339 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2340 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2342 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2343 source message on the standard input.
2345 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2347 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2348 rather than -rfc934mode.
2350 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2351 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2354 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2355 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2357 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2360 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2362 * Released nmh-0.21.
2364 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2365 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2367 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2370 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2371 to use for text contents.
2373 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2375 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2377 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2379 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2381 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2382 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2384 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2385 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2386 spaces between encoded word are.
2388 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2390 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2391 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2393 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2394 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2395 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2397 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2399 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2400 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2402 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2404 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2406 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2407 ISO-8859-X character set.
2409 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2412 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2413 permissions, not write permissions.
2415 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2416 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2418 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2421 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2423 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2425 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2426 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2428 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2429 message contains valid character set.
2431 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2432 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2434 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2435 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2437 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2438 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2439 between an encoded word and normal text.
2441 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2442 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2444 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2445 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2447 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2450 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2451 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2454 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2455 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2457 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2458 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2460 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2462 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2464 * Released nmh-0.20.
2466 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2468 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2470 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2471 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2472 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2474 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2475 and the To: line was missing.
2477 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2479 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2481 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2483 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2484 watch the POP transaction.
2486 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2487 first, and use it if available.
2489 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2490 first, and use it if available.
2492 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2494 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2496 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2497 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2498 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2501 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2502 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2503 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2505 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2506 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2509 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2511 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2512 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2514 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2516 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2517 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2519 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2520 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2521 message to which you are replying.
2523 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2524 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2525 making group replies.
2527 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2529 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2531 * Released nmh-0.19.
2533 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2534 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2536 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2537 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2538 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2539 to the end of the man page.
2541 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2542 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2543 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2544 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2545 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2546 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2548 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2551 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2552 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2553 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2555 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2556 the next available number above the message number you wish
2559 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2560 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2562 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2563 file sbr/seq_print.c
2565 * flist will now update the current folder.
2567 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2568 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2569 but now undocumented.
2571 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2574 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2575 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2577 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2579 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2580 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2582 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2584 * Released nmh-0.18.
2586 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2587 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2588 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2590 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2591 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2593 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2594 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2595 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2596 previous public/private status.
2598 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2601 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2604 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2605 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2606 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2608 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2609 take option to determine whether it should get current
2610 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2611 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2613 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2615 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2616 wait for stopped processes.
2618 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2619 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2621 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2625 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2626 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2628 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2629 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2631 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2632 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2633 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2634 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2636 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2639 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2642 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2644 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2645 the debugging output.
2647 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2648 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2650 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2652 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2654 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2655 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2657 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2659 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2660 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2661 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2662 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2663 in the given sequence.
2665 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2666 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2667 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2668 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2669 subdirectories of a given directory.
2671 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2672 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2673 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2675 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2676 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2678 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2680 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2683 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2684 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2685 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2687 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2688 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2689 are calculated at runtime.
2691 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2693 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2695 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2696 about checking for global mh.profile.
2698 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2699 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2700 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2701 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2702 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2703 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2705 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2706 adding message to folder itself.
2708 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2709 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2710 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2713 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2714 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2717 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2718 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2719 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2721 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2722 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2724 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2725 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2726 code to use it yet).
2728 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2732 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2733 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2735 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2736 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2738 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2740 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2743 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2745 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2747 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2749 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2751 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2752 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2754 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2756 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2758 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2760 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2762 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2764 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2765 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2767 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2768 configuration files.
2770 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2772 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2774 * Released nmh-0.17.
2776 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2778 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2779 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2781 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2784 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2785 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2787 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2788 number of refiled message.
2790 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2792 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2793 for return value of wait().
2795 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2797 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2799 * Released nmh-0.16.
2801 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2803 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2805 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2806 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2807 deal with binary messages, yet).
2809 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2811 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2813 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2814 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2815 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2816 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2817 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2818 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2820 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2821 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2823 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2824 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2826 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2827 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2830 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2832 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2834 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2835 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2838 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2841 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2843 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2844 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2845 which used unsigned chars by default.
2847 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2849 * Released nmh-0.15.
2851 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2856 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2858 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2861 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2862 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2863 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2865 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2866 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2868 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2870 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2871 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2873 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2874 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2875 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2876 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2878 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2879 and put in own subroutine.
2881 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2882 and put in own subroutine.
2884 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2885 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2886 refile.c to use new routine.

2890 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2892 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2895 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2896 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2897 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2899 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2902 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2903 adding message to sequence.

2906 corresponding file in sbr.
2908 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2911 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2913 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2914 all selected messages from a sequence.
2916 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2917 selected messages to a sequence.
2919 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2922 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2924 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2925 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2927 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2929 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2948 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2949 environment variable.
2951 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2952 draft folder facility in nmh.
2954 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2964 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2966 * Released nmh-0.13.
2968 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2969 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2970 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2971 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2974 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2975 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2977 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2979 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2980 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2982 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2984 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2985 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

3006 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3009 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3010 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3012 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3013 will suppress the display of the message header.
3015 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3017 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3018 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3020 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3022 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3024 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3026 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3027 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3029 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3030 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3032 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3034 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3036 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3037 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3039 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3040 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3042 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3044 * Released nmh-0.10.

3051 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3054 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3056 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3057 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3059 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3060 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3062 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3064 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3065 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3067 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3069 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3070 of missing tabs in regex.

3097 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3099 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3100 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3102 * Released nmh-0.08.
3104 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3105 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3106 locking database itself.
3108 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3110 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3112 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3113 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3116 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3117 rather than mmdf format.
3119 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3120 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3121 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3122 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3124 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3126 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3128 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3131 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3132 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3133 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3135 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3136 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3137 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3139 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3141 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3142 can still easily change this in config.h).
3144 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3145 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3146 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3148 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3150 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3151 than tzset and external timezone variable.

3162 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3164 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3165 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3167 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3168 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3171 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3172 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3174 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3175 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3177 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3179 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3181 * Added configure check for tzset.

3185 * Released nmh-0.06.
3187 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3188 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3190 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3191 many such machines around anymore.
3193 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3194 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3196 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3197 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3199 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3201 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3202 pre-generated version if necessary.
3204 * Released nmh-0.05.
3206 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3207 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3208 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3209 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3211 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3212 be linked in one pass.
3214 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3216 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3217 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3219 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3221 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3223 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3225 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3226 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3227 become the current folder.
3229 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3231 * Released nmh-0.04.
3233 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3236 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3238 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3239 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3240 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3242 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3244 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3245 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3247 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3249 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3250 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3253 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3254 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3256 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3258 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3259 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3260 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3261 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3262 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3263 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3265 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3267 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3268 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3270 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3271 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3273 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3275 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3276 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3278 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3280 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3281 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3282 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3284 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3286 * Released nmh-0.03.
3288 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3289 .mh_sequence file existed.
3291 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3292 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3294 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3295 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3298 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3300 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3303 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3306 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3307 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3309 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3311 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3312 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3313 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3315 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3317 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3318 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3320 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3322 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3324 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3325 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3326 directory from where the source code is located.
3328 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3330 * Released nmh-0.02.
3332 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3337 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3340 and sys_nerr directly.
3342 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3344 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3346 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3348 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3350 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3351 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3352 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3353 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3354 rather than in script.
3356 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3358 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3360 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3361 macro defined on Solaris.
3363 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3365 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3366 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3368 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3369 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3370 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3371 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3374 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3376 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3377 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3379 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3382 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3384 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3386 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3387 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3389 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3391 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3392 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3394 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3396 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3397 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3398 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3399 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3400 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3401 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.

3405 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3407 * Released nmh-0.01.
3409 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3410 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3411 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3414 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3416 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3419 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3421 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3422 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.

3426 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3427 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3428 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3429 script to find_program.

3433 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3434 speed up -recurse option.
3436 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3437 yet, but it compiles :-)
3439 * Changed default location for install to
3440 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3441 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3442 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3445 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3446 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3447 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
