1 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
4 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
6 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
10 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
13 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
15 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
17 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
19 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
20 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
21 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
22 obsolete feature of autoconf
24 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
26 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
27 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
28 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
30 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
32 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
33 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
35 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
37 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
40 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
42 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
43 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
44 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
45 following done() (should never be reached).
47 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
49 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
50 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
52 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
54 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
55 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
57 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
59 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
60 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
61 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
62 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
63 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
64 acconfig.h if you must.
66 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
68 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
69 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
70 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
71 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
73 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
75 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
78 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
80 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
81 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
82 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
83 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
84 have Content-Disposition.
86 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
88 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
91 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
93 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
94 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
96 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
98 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
99 encoded block is empty
101 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
103 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
104 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
105 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
108 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
110 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
111 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
114 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
116 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
117 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
118 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
119 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
122 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
123 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
125 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
127 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
128 function num_digits into utils.c
130 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
132 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
133 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
134 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
136 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
138 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
139 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
140 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
141 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
142 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
143 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
144 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
145 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
147 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
149 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
150 Content-Disposition header.
152 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
154 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
155 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
156 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
157 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
158 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
159 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
160 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
161 users to easily accomodate that by adding
162 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
164 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
166 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
167 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
169 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
171 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
173 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
174 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
176 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
177 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
179 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
181 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
182 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
183 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
184 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
185 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
188 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
190 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
191 widths, restoring right justification feature
193 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
195 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
196 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
197 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
199 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
202 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
204 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
205 handling multi column characters.
207 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
209 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
211 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
213 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
214 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
217 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
219 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
221 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
223 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
226 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
228 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
231 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
233 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
234 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
235 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
236 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
238 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
240 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
241 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
242 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
243 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
244 where configure's autodetection fails.
246 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
248 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
249 configure script change.
251 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
253 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
254 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
255 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
258 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
260 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
261 the context is only read once.
263 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
265 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
266 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
268 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
270 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
271 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
273 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
274 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
277 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
278 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
281 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
283 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
284 vi isn't found during build.
286 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
288 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
289 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
291 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
292 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
293 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
295 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
297 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
298 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
300 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
301 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
302 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
303 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
306 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
307 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
308 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
310 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
311 entry in the context file.
313 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
315 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
316 problems on some systems
318 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
319 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
321 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
323 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
324 sendmail isn't found during build.
326 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
328 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
330 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
332 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
333 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
335 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
336 references to the web page and mailing list locations
338 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
339 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
341 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
344 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
346 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
347 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
348 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
350 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
351 was configured with --enable-apop.
353 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
354 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
355 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
357 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
358 new versions of flex.
360 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
361 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
362 doesn't guess wrongly.
364 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
366 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
367 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
369 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
370 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
372 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
373 files with numbers as names
375 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
377 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
379 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
381 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
383 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
384 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
386 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
388 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
391 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
392 test/report error writing to stdout
394 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
396 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
398 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
399 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
400 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
402 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
403 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
404 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
406 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
408 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
409 character set used by the current locale
411 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
412 message's filename overflows an int when converted
414 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
415 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
417 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
419 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
422 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
424 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
425 from Michael Richardson.
427 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
428 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
430 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
432 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
433 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
435 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
437 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
438 find sub-parts of the specified part
440 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
442 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
443 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
444 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
445 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
446 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
447 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
448 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
451 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
453 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
454 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
455 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
458 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
459 refiling with -src option.
461 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
463 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
465 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
467 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
468 mailpath being overwritten.
470 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
472 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
473 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
474 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
475 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
476 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
477 reinitializes the tmp file string.
479 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
480 if a format string was read from the profile.
482 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
483 path for the external hook.
485 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
487 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
488 another location for ndbm.
490 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
492 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
494 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
496 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
499 136976 - Handle binary content messages
500 143427 - mh-format.man typo
501 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
502 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
503 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
504 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
505 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
506 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
507 181867 - typo for nmh.man
509 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
511 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
512 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
513 contitional code which will result in cached data to
514 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
515 and parse on the first use.
516 * Remove some unused flag bits.
518 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
520 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
521 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
523 #578 - repl leaks umask
524 #1393 - sortm core dumps
525 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
526 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
527 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
529 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
530 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
532 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
534 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
535 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
537 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
539 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
540 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
541 to docs/README.about.
543 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
545 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
547 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
548 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
549 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
550 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
553 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
555 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
556 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
557 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
558 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
559 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
560 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
563 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
564 summary configure prints out.
566 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
567 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
568 subjectively more readable) format.
570 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
572 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
575 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
577 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
578 19xx when it's not necessary.
580 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
582 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
583 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
586 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
587 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
588 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
589 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
590 the man pages correctly.
592 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
594 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
596 * Finished manpages ali-prev
598 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
599 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
600 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
603 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
604 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
605 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
606 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
608 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
610 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
611 the formatting rules I've been using.
615 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
617 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
618 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
619 used in the manpages.
621 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
622 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
623 read in the contents of the file as the variable
626 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
627 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
628 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
629 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
630 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
631 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
632 bold flags and italicized parameters.
634 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
636 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
637 --with-locking option.
639 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
640 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
641 information was not being communicated to the
642 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
643 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
644 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
645 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
646 undefined symbols problems.
648 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
649 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
650 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
651 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
652 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
653 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
654 for a genuine krb4 installation.
656 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
658 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
659 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
661 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
663 * Made a new ./configure option called
664 "--with-locking" that allows the file
665 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
666 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
668 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
669 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
670 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
671 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
672 the user that these are the valid options, and
673 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
676 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
678 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
679 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
680 committed to supporting flex only, since
681 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
682 string, as well as other problems documented
683 below and on nmh-workers.
685 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
686 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
687 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
690 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
691 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
693 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
695 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
696 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
697 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
699 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
701 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
702 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
704 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
706 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
707 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
708 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
709 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
710 couldn't correctly identify them.
712 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
714 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
715 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
716 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
717 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
718 not depending on an external archive.
720 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
721 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
722 mts/generic is no longer built.
724 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
726 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
727 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
728 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
729 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
730 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
731 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
732 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
733 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
735 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
737 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
738 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
741 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
743 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
744 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
745 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
748 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
749 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
750 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
751 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
753 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
754 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
755 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
756 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
757 merged into the smtp code).
759 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
760 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
761 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
764 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
765 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
766 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
767 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
768 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
769 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
770 in the appropriate Makefile.in
772 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
774 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
775 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
776 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
777 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
778 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
779 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
780 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
781 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
782 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
783 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
784 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
786 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
788 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
789 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
790 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
791 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
792 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
793 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
794 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
795 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
796 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
798 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
800 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
801 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
804 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
806 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
807 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
809 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
811 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
812 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
813 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
814 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
816 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
818 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
819 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
820 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
821 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
822 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
824 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
825 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
827 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
829 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
831 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
832 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
833 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
834 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
836 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
837 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
838 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
839 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
841 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
842 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
843 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
844 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
846 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
847 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
848 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
850 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
852 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
853 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
854 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
855 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
856 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
857 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
860 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
861 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
863 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
864 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
866 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
868 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
870 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
872 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
873 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
874 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
875 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
877 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
879 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
880 be easily changed from "," to "#".
882 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
884 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
886 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
887 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
890 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
892 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
893 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
894 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
895 but not for the subsequent data stream.
897 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
899 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
900 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
901 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
902 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
903 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
905 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
907 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
908 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
910 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
911 cat, also define lorder as echo.
913 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
915 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
917 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
918 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
919 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
921 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
923 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
926 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
927 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
929 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
931 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
932 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
934 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
936 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
937 inc does not need to be setgid.
939 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
941 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
942 library, as found on Debian systems.
944 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
946 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
948 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
949 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
950 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
951 case-insensitivity flag.
953 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
955 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
956 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
958 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
960 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
961 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
962 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
963 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
964 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
965 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
966 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
967 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
968 getting moved aside).
970 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
971 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
973 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
975 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
976 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
977 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
978 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
979 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
980 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
981 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
982 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
983 the prototype, but never sets it.
985 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
986 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
987 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
988 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
989 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
990 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
992 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
993 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
994 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
995 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
996 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
998 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1000 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1001 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1004 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1005 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1006 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1007 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1008 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1009 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1010 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1012 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1014 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1016 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1017 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1018 this works on other systems.
1020 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1022 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1023 checks for write failures.
1025 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1027 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1029 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1032 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1034 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1036 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1038 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1039 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1042 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1044 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1045 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1046 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1047 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1049 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1051 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1052 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1055 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1056 as well as Makefiles.
1058 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1060 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1061 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1062 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1063 should make maintainability easier.
1065 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1066 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1067 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1068 whatever you know works.
1070 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1072 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1073 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1074 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1076 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1077 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1078 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1079 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1081 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1082 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1083 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1085 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1086 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1087 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1088 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1089 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1091 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1092 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1093 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1094 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1095 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1096 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1097 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1098 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1099 from the BSD version.
1101 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1102 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1103 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1105 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1106 in ruserpass.c also.
1108 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1111 This happens on solaris:
1114 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1115 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1119 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1121 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1122 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1124 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1126 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1127 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1128 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1129 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1130 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1131 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1132 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1133 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1134 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1135 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1136 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1138 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1139 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1140 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1141 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1142 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1143 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1146 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1147 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1148 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1149 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1150 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1152 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1153 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1155 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1157 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1158 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1159 to stdin, such as exmh.
1161 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1162 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1163 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1166 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1168 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1169 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1170 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1171 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1172 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1173 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1174 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1176 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1178 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1179 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1181 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1183 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1184 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1186 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1188 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1191 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1192 along with any -host or -user option.
1194 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1196 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1198 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1199 process was fresh in my mind.
1201 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1203 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1204 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1206 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1208 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1213 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1214 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1215 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1216 part of the program's name.
1218 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1219 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1222 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1224 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1225 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1226 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1227 single-character format would cause programs using this
1228 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1229 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1230 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1231 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1234 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1236 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1237 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1238 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1239 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1240 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1241 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1243 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1244 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1245 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1246 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1247 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1248 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1249 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1250 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1252 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1253 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1254 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1255 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1256 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1257 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1258 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1259 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1260 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1261 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1263 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1265 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1266 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1268 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1269 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1271 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1276 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1278 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1279 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1280 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1281 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1283 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1284 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1285 problem in the routine.
1287 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1289 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1290 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1292 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1293 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1294 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1297 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1299 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1300 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1301 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1302 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1303 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1304 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1305 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1306 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1307 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1308 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1310 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1312 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1313 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1314 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1315 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1316 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1317 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1318 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1319 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1320 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1321 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1322 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1323 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1325 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1326 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1327 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1328 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1329 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1331 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1334 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1336 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1337 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1338 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1339 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1342 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1344 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1346 * Applied, after some finessing,
1347 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1349 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1351 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1353 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1354 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1355 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1356 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1358 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1360 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1361 forgetting to do so!).
1363 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1364 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1365 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1366 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1367 arguments to enable all three types.
1369 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1370 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1372 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1373 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1374 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1375 updated copy of mts.conf.
1377 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1379 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1380 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1381 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1383 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1385 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1387 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1388 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1389 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1391 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1392 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1393 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1395 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1396 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1397 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1399 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1401 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1403 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1405 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1407 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1408 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1410 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1411 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1412 certain suffix to run properly.
1414 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1415 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1416 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1418 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1419 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1420 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1421 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1422 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1423 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1424 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1426 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1428 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1429 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1430 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1431 until some year far in the future).
1433 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1435 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1437 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1438 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1440 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1441 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1444 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1446 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1447 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1448 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1449 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1450 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1451 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1453 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1455 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1457 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1458 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1459 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1461 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1462 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1463 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1464 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1465 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1466 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1469 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1470 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1471 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1472 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1473 of masquerading individually.
1475 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1476 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1477 GECOS field delimiters.
1479 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1481 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1482 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1483 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1484 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1485 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1486 and explaining the feature.
1488 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1490 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1491 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1494 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1495 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1496 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1498 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1499 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1500 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1501 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1503 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1504 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1505 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1508 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1510 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1511 code to be executed.
1513 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1515 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1517 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1518 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1519 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1520 quotes embedded in them.
1522 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1524 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1525 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1526 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1527 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1528 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1529 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1530 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1533 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1534 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1535 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1536 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1537 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1539 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1541 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1543 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1544 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1545 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1546 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1548 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1551 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1553 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1555 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1557 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1558 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1559 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1561 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1564 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1566 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1567 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1568 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1569 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1570 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1571 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1573 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1574 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1576 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1578 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1581 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1583 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1584 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1585 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1588 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1589 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1590 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1591 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1592 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1593 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1594 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1595 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1596 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1597 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1598 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1599 processing that post has).
1601 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1603 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1604 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1605 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1606 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1607 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1608 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1611 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1613 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1615 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1617 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1619 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1620 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1622 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1625 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1627 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1628 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1629 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1632 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1634 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1635 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1636 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1637 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1638 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1639 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1641 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1643 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1645 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1647 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1648 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1649 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1650 caught again. This works for now.
1652 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1654 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1656 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1657 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1659 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1661 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1662 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1664 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1666 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1668 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1670 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1671 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1673 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1675 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1676 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1677 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1678 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1679 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1682 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1684 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1685 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1686 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1688 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1689 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1692 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1694 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1695 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1696 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1698 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1700 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1701 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1703 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1705 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1708 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1709 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1711 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1712 macros, regardless of platform.
1714 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1715 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1717 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1718 with x-conversions=gzip.
1720 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1722 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1725 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1726 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1727 implicit definition of ioctl().
1729 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1730 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1731 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1732 want to mess with them.
1734 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1736 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1737 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1739 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1740 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1742 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1743 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1744 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1746 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1747 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1748 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1750 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1751 function initgroups.
1753 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1756 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1757 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1760 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1761 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1764 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1765 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1769 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1771 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1772 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1773 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1775 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1776 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1778 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1780 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1782 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1783 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1784 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1785 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1787 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1788 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1790 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1792 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1794 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1796 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1797 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1799 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1801 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1802 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1804 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1805 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1806 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1807 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1809 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1810 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1812 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1814 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1815 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1817 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1819 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1820 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1823 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1825 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1827 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1829 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1830 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1832 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1833 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1834 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1836 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1837 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1838 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1840 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1841 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1842 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1844 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1845 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1848 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1849 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1851 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1852 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1854 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1855 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1857 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1858 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1859 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1861 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1862 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1864 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1865 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1866 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1868 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1869 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1872 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1873 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1875 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1876 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1877 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1878 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1880 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1881 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1883 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1887 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1888 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1889 would not be changed.
1891 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1892 one from the Apache web server.
1894 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1895 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1897 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1898 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1899 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1901 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1903 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1905 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1906 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1909 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1910 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1911 removes a bad race condition.
1913 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1916 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1917 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1918 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1920 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1921 sequence information.
1923 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1924 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1926 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1929 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1932 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1934 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1935 interpret 034 as octal.
1937 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1939 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1940 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1942 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1943 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1945 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1946 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1948 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1949 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1951 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1952 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1954 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1955 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1956 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1958 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1959 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1960 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1962 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1964 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1966 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1967 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1970 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1972 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1973 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1975 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1976 header field information.
1978 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1979 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1981 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1982 values when parsing a content.
1984 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1985 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1987 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1988 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1990 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1991 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1993 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1994 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1996 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1998 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2000 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2002 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2004 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2005 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2008 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2009 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2011 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2012 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2013 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2014 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2015 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2016 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2019 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2021 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2022 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2023 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2025 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2026 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2028 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2030 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2031 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2032 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2033 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2035 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2036 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2039 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2040 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2041 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2042 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2045 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2047 * Released nmh-0.27.
2049 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2050 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2052 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2053 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2054 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2055 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2058 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2059 mhbuild returns an error.
2061 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2062 rename the draft file.
2064 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2065 use a global variable.
2067 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2068 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2070 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2071 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2073 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2074 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2075 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2077 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2078 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2080 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2081 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2084 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2085 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2088 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2089 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2091 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2092 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2093 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2095 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2096 to new function output_content_folder.
2098 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2099 new function output_content_file.
2101 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2102 to new function parse_format_string.
2104 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2105 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2106 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2107 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2109 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2110 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2111 message/external file from ftp.
2113 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2114 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2115 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2117 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2118 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2121 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2124 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2125 new file mhstoresbr.c
2127 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2130 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2131 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2133 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2134 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2136 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2137 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2138 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2140 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2142 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2144 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2145 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2148 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2149 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2151 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2154 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2156 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2158 * Released nmh-0.26.
2160 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2161 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2162 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2163 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2165 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2166 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2167 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2168 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2169 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2171 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2172 But it is not on by default.
2174 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2175 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2177 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2179 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2181 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2183 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2185 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2186 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2188 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2190 * Released nmh-0.25.
2192 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2193 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2194 uses the original name of the library.
2196 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2197 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2200 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2201 list_content and list_debug.
2203 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2205 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2206 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2208 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2210 * Released nmh-0.24.
2212 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2214 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2215 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2217 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2218 large sequence line.
2220 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2222 * Released nmh-0.23.
2224 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2226 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2227 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2228 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2229 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2231 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2232 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2235 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2237 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2239 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2241 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2242 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2244 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2245 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2247 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2248 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2250 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2251 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2253 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2255 * Released nmh-0.22.
2257 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2258 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2260 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2262 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2263 mh-profile(5) man page.
2265 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2266 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2268 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2270 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2272 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2273 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2275 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2277 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2278 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2279 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2281 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2282 source message on the standard input.
2284 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2286 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2287 rather than -rfc934mode.
2289 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2290 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2293 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2294 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2296 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2299 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2301 * Released nmh-0.21.
2303 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2304 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2306 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2309 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2310 to use for text contents.
2312 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2314 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2316 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2318 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2320 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2321 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2323 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2324 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2325 spaces between encoded word are.
2327 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2329 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2330 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2332 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2333 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2334 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2336 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2338 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2339 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2341 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2343 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2345 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2346 ISO-8859-X character set.
2348 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2351 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2352 permissions, not write permissions.
2354 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2355 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2357 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2360 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2362 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2364 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2365 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2367 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2368 message contains valid character set.
2370 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2371 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2373 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2374 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2376 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2377 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2378 between an encoded word and normal text.
2380 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2381 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2383 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2384 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2386 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2389 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2390 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2393 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2394 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2396 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2397 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2399 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2401 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2403 * Released nmh-0.20.
2405 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2407 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2409 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2410 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2411 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2413 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2414 and the To: line was missing.
2416 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2418 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2420 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2422 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2423 watch the POP transaction.
2425 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2426 first, and use it if available.
2428 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2429 first, and use it if available.
2431 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2433 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2435 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2436 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2437 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2440 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2441 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2442 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2444 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2445 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2448 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2450 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2451 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2453 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2455 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2456 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2458 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2459 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2460 message to which you are replying.
2462 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2463 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2464 making group replies.
2466 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2468 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2470 * Released nmh-0.19.
2472 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2473 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2475 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2476 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2477 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2478 to the end of the man page.
2480 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2481 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2482 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2483 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2484 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2485 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2487 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2490 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2491 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2492 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2494 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2495 the next available number above the message number you wish
2498 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2499 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2501 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2502 file sbr/seq_print.c
2504 * flist will now update the current folder.
2506 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2507 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2508 but now undocumented.
2510 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2513 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2514 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2516 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2518 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2519 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2521 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2523 * Released nmh-0.18.
2525 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2526 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2527 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2529 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2530 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2532 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2533 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2534 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2535 previous public/private status.
2537 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2540 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2543 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2544 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2545 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2547 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2548 take option to determine whether it should get current
2549 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2550 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2552 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2554 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2555 wait for stopped processes.
2557 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2558 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2560 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2562 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2564 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2565 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2567 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2568 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2570 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2571 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2572 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2573 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2575 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2578 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2581 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2583 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2584 the debugging output.
2586 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2587 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2589 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2591 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2593 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2594 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2596 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2598 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2599 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2600 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2601 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2602 in the given sequence.
2604 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2605 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2606 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2607 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2608 subdirectories of a given directory.
2610 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2611 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2612 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2614 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2615 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2617 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2619 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2622 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2623 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2624 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2626 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2627 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2628 are calculated at runtime.
2630 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2632 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2634 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2635 about checking for global mh.profile.
2637 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2638 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2639 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2640 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2641 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2642 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2644 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2645 adding message to folder itself.
2647 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2648 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2649 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2652 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2653 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2656 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2657 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2658 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2660 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2661 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2663 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2664 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2665 code to use it yet).
2667 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2669 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2671 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2672 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2674 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2675 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2677 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2679 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2682 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2686 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2688 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2690 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2691 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2693 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2695 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2697 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2699 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2701 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2703 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2704 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2706 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2707 configuration files.
2709 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2711 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2713 * Released nmh-0.17.
2715 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2717 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2718 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2720 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2723 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2724 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2726 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2727 number of refiled message.
2729 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2731 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2732 for return value of wait().
2734 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2736 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2738 * Released nmh-0.16.
2740 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2744 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2745 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2746 deal with binary messages, yet).
2748 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2750 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2752 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2753 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2754 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2755 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2756 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2757 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2759 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2760 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2762 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2763 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2765 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2766 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2769 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2771 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2773 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2774 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2777 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2780 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2782 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2783 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2784 which used unsigned chars by default.
2786 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788 * Released nmh-0.15.
2790 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2791 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2793 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2795 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2797 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2800 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2801 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2802 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2804 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2805 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2807 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2809 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2810 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2812 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2813 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2814 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX

2973 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2975 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2976 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2978 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

3041 * Released nmh-0.08.
3043 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3044 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

3055 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3056 rather than mmdf format.
3058 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3059 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3060 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with

3071 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3072 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3074 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3075 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

3078 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3080 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3081 can still easily change this in config.h).
3083 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3084 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3085 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3087 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3104 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3106 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3107 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3110 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3111 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3124 * Released nmh-0.06.
3126 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3127 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3129 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3130 many such machines around anymore.
3132 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3133 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3135 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3136 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3138 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3140 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3141 pre-generated version if necessary.
3143 * Released nmh-0.05.
3145 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3146 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3147 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3148 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3150 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3151 be linked in one pass.
3153 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3155 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3156 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3158 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3160 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3162 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3164 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3165 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3166 become the current folder.
3168 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3170 * Released nmh-0.04.

3175 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3177 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3178 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3179 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3181 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3183 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3184 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3186 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3188 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3189 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3192 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3193 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3195 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3197 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3198 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3199 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3200 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3201 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3202 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3204 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3206 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3207 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3209 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3210 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3212 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3214 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3215 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3217 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3219 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3220 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3221 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3223 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3225 * Released nmh-0.03.
3227 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3228 .mh_sequence file existed.
3230 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3231 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3233 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3234 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3237 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3239 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3242 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3244 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3245 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3246 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3248 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3250 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3251 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3252 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3254 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3256 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3257 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3259 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3261 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3263 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3264 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3265 directory from where the source code is located.
3267 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3269 * Released nmh-0.02.

3289 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3290 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3291 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3292 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3293 rather than in script.
3295 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3297 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3299 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3304 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3305 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3307 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3308 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3309 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3310 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3313 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3315 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker

3330 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3331 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3333 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3335 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3336 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3337 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3338 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3339 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3340 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3342 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3344 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3346 * Released nmh-0.01.

3349 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3350 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3353 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3355 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3358 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3360 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3361 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3363 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3365 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3366 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3367 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3368 script to find_program.
3370 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3372 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3373 speed up -recurse option.
3375 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3376 yet, but it compiles :-)
3378 * Changed default location for install to
3379 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3380 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3381 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3384 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3385 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3386 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
