1 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
4 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
5 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
7 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
9 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
10 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
12 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
14 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
15 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
16 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
17 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
18 couldn't correctly identify them.
20 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
22 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
23 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
24 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
25 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
26 not depending on an external archive.
28 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
29 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
30 mts/generic is no longer built.
32 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
34 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
35 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
36 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
37 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
38 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
39 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
40 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
41 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
43 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
45 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
46 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
49 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
51 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
52 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
53 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
56 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
57 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
58 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
59 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
61 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
62 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
63 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
64 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
65 merged into the smtp code).
67 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
68 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
69 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
72 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
73 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
74 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
75 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
76 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
77 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
78 in the appropriate Makefile.in
80 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
82 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
83 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
84 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
85 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
86 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
87 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
88 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
89 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
90 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
91 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
92 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
94 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
96 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
97 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
98 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
99 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
100 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
101 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
102 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
103 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
104 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
106 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
108 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
109 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
112 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
114 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
115 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
117 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
119 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
120 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
121 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
122 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
124 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
126 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
127 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
128 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
129 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
130 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
132 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
133 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
135 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
137 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
139 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
140 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
141 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
142 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
144 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
145 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
146 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
147 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
149 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
150 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
151 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
152 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
154 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
155 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
156 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
158 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
160 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
161 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
162 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
163 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
164 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
165 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
168 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
169 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
171 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
172 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
174 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
176 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
178 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
180 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
181 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
182 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
183 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
185 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
187 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
188 be easily changed from "," to "#".
190 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
192 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
194 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
195 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
198 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
200 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
201 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
202 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
203 but not for the subsequent data stream.
205 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
207 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
208 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
209 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
210 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
211 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
213 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
215 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
216 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
218 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
219 cat, also define lorder as echo.
221 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
223 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
225 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
226 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
227 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
229 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
231 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
234 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
235 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
237 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
239 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
240 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
242 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
244 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
245 inc does not need to be setgid.
247 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
249 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
250 library, as found on Debian systems.
252 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
254 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
256 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
257 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
258 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
259 case-insensitivity flag.
261 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
263 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
264 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
266 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
268 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
269 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
270 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
271 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
272 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
273 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
274 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
275 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
276 getting moved aside).
278 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
279 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
281 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
283 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
284 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
285 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
286 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
287 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
288 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
289 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
290 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
291 the prototype, but never sets it.
293 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
294 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
295 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
296 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
297 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
298 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
300 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
301 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
302 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
303 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
304 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
306 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
308 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
309 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
312 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
313 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
314 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
315 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
316 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
317 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
318 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
320 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
322 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
324 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
325 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
326 this works on other systems.
328 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
330 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
331 checks for write failures.
333 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
335 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
337 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
340 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
342 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
344 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
346 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
347 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
350 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
352 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
353 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
354 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
355 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
357 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
359 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
360 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
363 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
364 as well as Makefiles.
366 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
368 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
369 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
370 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
371 should make maintainability easier.
373 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
374 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
375 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
376 whatever you know works.
378 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
380 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
381 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
382 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
384 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
385 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
386 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
387 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
389 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
390 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
391 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
393 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
394 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
395 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
396 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
397 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
399 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
400 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
401 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
402 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
403 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
404 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
405 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
406 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
407 from the BSD version.
409 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
410 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
411 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
413 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
416 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
419 This happens on solaris:
422 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
423 No manual entry for mts.conf.
427 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
429 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
430 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
432 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
434 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
435 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
436 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
437 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
438 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
439 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
440 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
441 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
442 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
443 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
444 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
446 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
447 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
448 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
449 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
450 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
451 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
454 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
455 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
456 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
457 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
458 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
460 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
461 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
463 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
465 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
466 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
467 to stdin, such as exmh.
469 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
470 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
471 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
474 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
476 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
477 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
478 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
479 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
480 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
481 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
482 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
484 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
486 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
487 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
489 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
491 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
492 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
494 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
496 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
499 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
500 along with any -host or -user option.
502 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
504 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
506 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
507 process was fresh in my mind.
509 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
511 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
512 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
514 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
516 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
518 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
521 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
522 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
523 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
524 part of the program's name.
526 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
527 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
530 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
532 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
533 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
534 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
535 single-character format would cause programs using this
536 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
537 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
538 when the format string was one character. This eventually
539 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
542 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
544 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
545 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
546 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
547 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
548 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
549 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
551 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
552 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
553 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
554 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
555 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
556 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
557 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
558 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
560 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
561 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
562 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
563 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
564 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
565 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
566 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
567 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
568 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
569 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
571 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
573 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
574 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
576 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
577 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
579 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
584 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
586 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
587 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
588 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
589 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
591 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
592 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
593 problem in the routine.
595 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
597 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
598 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
600 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
601 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
602 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
605 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
607 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
608 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
609 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
610 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
611 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
612 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
613 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
614 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
615 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
616 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
618 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
620 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
621 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
622 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
623 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
624 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
625 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
626 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
627 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
628 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
629 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
630 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
631 interesting than a duplication of the default.
633 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
634 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
635 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
636 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
637 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
639 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
642 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
644 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
645 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
646 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
647 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
650 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
652 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
654 * Applied, after some finessing,
655 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
657 Here's a patch that allows you to add
659 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
661 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
662 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
663 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
664 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
666 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
668 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
669 forgetting to do so!).
671 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
672 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
673 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
674 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
675 arguments to enable all three types.
677 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
678 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
680 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
681 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
682 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
683 updated copy of mts.conf.
685 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
687 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
688 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
689 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
691 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
693 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
695 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
696 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
697 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
699 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
700 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
701 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
703 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
704 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
705 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
707 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
709 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
711 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
713 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
715 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
716 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
718 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
719 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
720 certain suffix to run properly.
722 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
723 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
724 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
726 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
727 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
728 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
729 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
730 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
731 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
732 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
734 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
736 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
737 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
738 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
739 until some year far in the future).
741 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
743 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
745 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
746 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
748 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
749 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
752 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
754 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
755 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
756 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
757 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
758 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
759 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
761 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
763 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
765 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
766 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
767 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
769 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
770 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
771 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
772 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
773 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
774 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
777 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
778 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
779 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
780 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
781 of masquerading individually.
783 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
784 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
785 GECOS field delimiters.
787 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
789 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
790 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
791 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
792 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
793 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
794 and explaining the feature.
796 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
798 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
799 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
802 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
803 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
804 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
806 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
807 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
808 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
809 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
811 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
812 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
813 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
816 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
818 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
821 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
823 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
825 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
826 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
827 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
828 quotes embedded in them.
830 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
832 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
833 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
834 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
835 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
836 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
837 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
838 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
841 The other theory is that because you can say something like
842 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
843 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
844 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
845 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
847 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
849 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
851 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
852 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
853 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
854 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
856 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
859 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
861 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
863 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
865 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
866 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
867 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
869 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
872 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
874 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
875 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
876 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
877 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
878 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
879 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
881 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
882 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
884 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
886 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
889 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
891 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
892 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
893 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
896 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
897 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
898 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
899 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
900 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
901 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
902 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
903 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
904 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
905 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
906 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
907 processing that post has).
909 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
911 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
912 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
913 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
914 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
915 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
916 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
919 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
921 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
923 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
925 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
927 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
928 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
930 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
933 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
935 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
936 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
937 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
940 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
942 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
943 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
944 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
945 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
946 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
947 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
949 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
951 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
953 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
955 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
956 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
957 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
958 caught again. This works for now.
960 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
962 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
964 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
965 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
967 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
969 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
970 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
972 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
974 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
976 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
978 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
979 changes. Both need more cleanup.
981 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
983 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
984 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
985 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
986 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
987 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
990 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
992 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
993 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
994 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
996 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
997 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1000 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1002 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1003 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1004 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1006 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1008 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1009 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1011 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1013 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1016 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1017 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1019 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1020 macros, regardless of platform.
1022 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1023 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1025 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1026 with x-conversions=gzip.
1028 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1030 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1033 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1034 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1035 implicit definition of ioctl().
1037 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1038 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1039 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1040 want to mess with them.
1042 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1044 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1045 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1047 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1048 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1050 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1051 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1052 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1054 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1055 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1056 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1058 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1059 function initgroups.
1061 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1064 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1065 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1068 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1069 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1072 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1073 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1077 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1079 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1080 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1081 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1083 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1084 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1086 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1088 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1090 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1091 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1092 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1093 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1095 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1096 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1098 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1100 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1102 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1104 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1105 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1107 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1109 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1110 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1112 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1113 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1114 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1115 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1117 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1118 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1120 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1122 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1123 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1125 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1127 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1128 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1131 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1133 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1135 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1137 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1138 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1140 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1141 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1142 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1144 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1145 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1146 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1148 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1149 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1150 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1152 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1153 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1156 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1157 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1159 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1160 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1162 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1163 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1165 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1166 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1167 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1169 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1170 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1172 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1173 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1174 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1176 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1177 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1180 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1181 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1183 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1184 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1185 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1186 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1188 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1189 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1191 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1195 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1196 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1197 would not be changed.
1199 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1200 one from the Apache web server.
1202 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1203 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1205 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1206 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1207 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1209 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1211 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1213 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1214 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1217 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1218 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1219 removes a bad race condition.
1221 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1224 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1225 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1226 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1228 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1229 sequence information.
1231 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1232 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1234 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1237 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1240 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1242 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1243 interpret 034 as octal.
1245 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1247 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1248 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1250 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1251 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1253 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1254 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1256 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1257 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1259 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1260 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1262 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1263 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1264 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1266 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1267 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1268 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1270 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1272 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1274 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1275 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1278 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1280 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1281 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1283 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1284 header field information.
1286 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1287 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1289 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1290 values when parsing a content.
1292 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1293 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1295 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1296 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1298 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1299 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1301 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1302 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1304 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1306 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1308 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1310 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1312 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1313 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1316 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1317 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1319 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1320 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1321 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1322 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1323 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1324 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1327 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1329 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1330 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1331 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1333 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1334 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1336 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1338 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1339 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1340 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1341 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1343 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1344 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1347 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1348 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1349 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1350 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1353 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1355 * Released nmh-0.27.
1357 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1358 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1360 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1361 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1362 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1363 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1366 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1367 mhbuild returns an error.
1369 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1370 rename the draft file.
1372 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1373 use a global variable.
1375 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1376 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1378 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1379 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1381 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1382 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1383 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1385 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1386 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1388 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1389 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1392 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1393 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1396 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1397 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1399 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1400 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1401 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1403 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1404 to new function output_content_folder.
1406 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1407 new function output_content_file.
1409 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1410 to new function parse_format_string.
1412 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1413 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1414 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1415 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1417 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1418 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1419 message/external file from ftp.
1421 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1422 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1423 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1425 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1426 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1429 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1432 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1433 new file mhstoresbr.c
1435 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1438 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1439 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1441 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1442 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1444 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1445 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1446 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1448 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1450 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1452 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1453 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1456 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1457 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1459 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1462 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1464 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1466 * Released nmh-0.26.
1468 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1469 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1470 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1471 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1473 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1474 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1475 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1476 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1477 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1479 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1480 But it is not on by default.
1482 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1483 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1485 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1487 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1489 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1491 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1493 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1494 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1496 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1498 * Released nmh-0.25.
1500 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1501 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1502 uses the original name of the library.
1504 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1505 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1508 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1509 list_content and list_debug.
1511 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1513 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1514 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1516 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1518 * Released nmh-0.24.
1520 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1522 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1523 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1525 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1526 large sequence line.
1528 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1530 * Released nmh-0.23.
1532 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1534 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1535 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1536 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1537 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1539 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1540 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1543 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1545 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1547 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1549 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1550 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1552 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1553 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1555 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1556 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1558 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1559 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1561 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1563 * Released nmh-0.22.
1565 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1566 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1568 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1570 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1571 mh-profile(5) man page.
1573 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1574 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1576 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1578 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1580 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1581 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1583 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1585 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1586 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1587 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1589 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1590 source message on the standard input.
1592 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1594 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1595 rather than -rfc934mode.
1597 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1598 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1601 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1602 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1604 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1607 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1609 * Released nmh-0.21.
1611 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1612 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1614 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1617 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1618 to use for text contents.
1620 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1622 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1624 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1626 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1628 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1629 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1631 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1632 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1633 spaces between encoded word are.
1635 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1637 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1638 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1640 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1641 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1642 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1644 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1646 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1647 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1649 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1651 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1653 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1654 ISO-8859-X character set.
1656 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1659 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1660 permissions, not write permissions.
1662 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1663 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1665 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1668 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1670 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1672 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1673 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1675 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1676 message contains valid character set.
1678 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1679 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1681 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1682 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1684 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1685 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1686 between an encoded word and normal text.
1688 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1689 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1691 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1692 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1694 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1697 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1698 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1701 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1702 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1704 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1705 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1707 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1709 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1711 * Released nmh-0.20.
1713 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1715 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1717 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1718 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1719 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1721 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1722 and the To: line was missing.
1724 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1726 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1728 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1730 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1731 watch the POP transaction.
1733 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1734 first, and use it if available.
1736 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1737 first, and use it if available.
1739 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1741 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1743 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1744 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1745 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1748 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1749 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1750 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1752 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1753 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1756 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1758 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1759 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1761 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1763 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1764 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1766 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1767 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1768 message to which you are replying.
1770 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1771 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1772 making group replies.
1774 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1776 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1778 * Released nmh-0.19.
1780 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1781 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1783 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1784 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1785 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1786 to the end of the man page.
1788 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1789 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1790 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1791 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1792 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1793 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1795 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1798 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1799 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1800 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1802 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1803 the next available number above the message number you wish
1806 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1807 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1809 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1810 file sbr/seq_print.c
1812 * flist will now update the current folder.
1814 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1815 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1816 but now undocumented.
1818 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1821 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1822 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1824 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1826 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1827 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1829 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1831 * Released nmh-0.18.
1833 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1834 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1835 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1837 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1838 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1840 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1841 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1842 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1843 previous public/private status.
1845 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1848 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1851 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1852 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1853 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1855 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1856 take option to determine whether it should get current
1857 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1858 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1860 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1862 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1863 wait for stopped processes.
1865 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1866 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1868 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1870 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1872 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1873 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1875 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1876 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1878 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1879 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1880 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1881 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1883 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1886 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1889 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1891 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1892 the debugging output.
1894 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1895 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1897 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1899 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1901 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1902 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1904 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1906 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1907 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1908 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1909 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1910 in the given sequence.
1912 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1913 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1914 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1915 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1916 subdirectories of a given directory.
1918 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1919 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1920 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1922 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1923 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1925 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1927 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1930 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1931 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1932 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1934 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1935 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1936 are calculated at runtime.
1938 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1940 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1942 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1943 about checking for global mh.profile.
1945 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1946 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1947 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1948 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1949 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1950 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1952 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1953 adding message to folder itself.
1955 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1956 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1957 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1960 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1961 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1964 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1965 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1966 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1968 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1969 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1971 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1972 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1973 code to use it yet).
1975 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1977 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1979 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1980 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1982 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1983 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1985 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1987 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1990 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1992 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1994 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1996 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1998 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1999 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2001 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2003 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2005 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2007 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2009 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2011 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2012 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2014 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2015 configuration files.
2017 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2023 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2025 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2026 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2028 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2031 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2032 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2034 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2035 number of refiled message.
2037 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2039 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2040 for return value of wait().
2042 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2044 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2046 * Released nmh-0.16.
2048 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2050 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2052 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2053 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2054 deal with binary messages, yet).
2056 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2058 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2060 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2061 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2062 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2063 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2064 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2065 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2067 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2068 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2070 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2071 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2073 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2074 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2077 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2079 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2081 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2082 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2085 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2088 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2090 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2091 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2092 which used unsigned chars by default.
2094 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2096 * Released nmh-0.15.
2098 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2103 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2105 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2108 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2109 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2110 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2112 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2113 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2115 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2117 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2118 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2120 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2121 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2122 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2123 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2125 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2126 and put in own subroutine.
2128 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2129 and put in own subroutine.
2131 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2132 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2133 refile.c to use new routine.
2135 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2137 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2139 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2142 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2143 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2144 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2146 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2149 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2150 adding message to sequence.
2152 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2153 corresponding file in sbr.
2155 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2158 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2160 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2161 all selected messages from a sequence.
2163 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2164 selected messages to a sequence.
2166 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2169 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2171 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2172 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2174 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2176 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2186 * Released nmh-0.14.
2188 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2189 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2191 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2193 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2194 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2195 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2196 environment variable.
2198 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2199 draft folder facility in nmh.

2208 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2211 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2213 * Released nmh-0.13.
2215 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2216 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2217 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2218 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2221 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2222 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2224 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2226 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2227 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2229 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2231 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2232 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2234 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236 * Released nmh-0.12.
2238 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2244 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2245 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2247 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2248 mp->attrstats with macros.
2250 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2253 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2256 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2257 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2259 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2260 will suppress the display of the message header.
2262 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2264 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2265 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2267 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2269 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2271 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2273 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2274 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2276 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2277 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2279 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2281 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2283 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2284 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2286 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2287 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2289 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2291 * Released nmh-0.10.

2298 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2300 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2301 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2303 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2304 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2306 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2307 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2309 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2312 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2314 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2316 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2317 of missing tabs in regex.
2319 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2321 * Released nmh-0.09.
2323 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2325 * Add configure check for killpg.
2327 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
2330 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2332 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2334 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2337 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2339 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2341 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2342 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2344 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2346 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2347 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2349 * Released nmh-0.08.
2351 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2352 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2353 locking database itself.
2355 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2357 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2359 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2360 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2363 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2364 rather than mmdf format.
2366 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2367 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2368 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2369 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2371 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2373 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2375 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2378 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2379 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2380 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2382 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2383 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2384 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2386 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2388 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2389 can still easily change this in config.h).
2391 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2392 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2393 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2395 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2397 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2398 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2400 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2402 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2404 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2407 * Released nmh-0.07.
2409 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2411 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2412 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2414 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2415 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2418 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2419 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2421 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2422 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2424 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2426 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2428 * Added configure check for tzset.
2430 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2432 * Released nmh-0.06.
2434 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2435 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2437 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2438 many such machines around anymore.
2440 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2441 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2443 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2444 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2446 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2448 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2449 pre-generated version if necessary.
2451 * Released nmh-0.05.
2453 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2454 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2455 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2456 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2458 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2459 be linked in one pass.
2461 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2463 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2464 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2466 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2470 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2472 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2473 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2474 become the current folder.
2476 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2478 * Released nmh-0.04.
2480 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2483 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2485 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2486 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2487 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2489 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2491 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2492 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2494 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2496 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2497 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2500 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2501 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2503 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2506 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2507 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2508 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2509 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2510 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2512 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2514 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2515 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2517 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2518 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2520 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2522 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2523 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2525 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2527 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2528 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2529 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2531 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2533 * Released nmh-0.03.
2535 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2536 .mh_sequence file existed.
2538 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2539 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2541 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2542 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2545 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2547 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2550 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2552 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2553 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2554 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2556 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2558 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2559 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2560 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2562 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2564 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2565 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2567 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2569 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2571 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2572 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2573 directory from where the source code is located.
2575 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2577 * Released nmh-0.02.
2579 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2581 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2584 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2586 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2587 and sys_nerr directly.
2589 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2591 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2593 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2595 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2597 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2598 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2599 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2600 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2601 rather than in script.
2603 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2605 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2607 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2608 macro defined on Solaris.
2610 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2612 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2613 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2615 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2616 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2617 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2618 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2621 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2624 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2626 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2629 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2631 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2633 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2634 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2636 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2638 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2639 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2641 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2644 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2645 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2646 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2647 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2648 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2650 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2652 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2654 * Released nmh-0.01.
2656 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2657 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2658 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2661 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2663 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2666 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2668 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2669 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2671 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2673 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2674 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2675 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2676 script to find_program.
2678 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2681 speed up -recurse option.
2683 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2684 yet, but it compiles :-)
2686 * Changed default location for install to
2687 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2688 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2689 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2692 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2693 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2694 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
