1 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
6 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
7 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
8 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
11 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
13 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
14 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
16 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
18 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
20 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
23 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
25 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
27 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
29 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
30 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
31 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
32 obsolete feature of autoconf
34 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
36 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
37 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
38 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
40 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
42 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
43 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
45 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
47 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
50 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
52 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
53 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
54 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
55 following done() (should never be reached).
57 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
59 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
60 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
62 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
64 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
65 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
67 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
69 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
70 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
71 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
72 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
73 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
74 acconfig.h if you must.
76 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
78 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
79 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
80 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
81 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
83 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
85 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
88 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
90 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
91 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
92 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
93 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
94 have Content-Disposition.
96 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
98 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
101 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
103 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
104 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
106 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
108 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
109 encoded block is empty
111 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
113 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
114 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
115 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
118 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
120 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
121 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
124 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
126 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
127 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
128 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
129 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
132 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
133 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
135 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
137 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
138 function num_digits into utils.c
140 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
142 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
143 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
144 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
146 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
148 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
149 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
150 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
151 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
152 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
153 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
154 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
155 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
157 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
159 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
160 Content-Disposition header.
162 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
164 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
165 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
166 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
167 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
168 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
169 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
170 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
171 users to easily accomodate that by adding
172 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
174 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
176 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
177 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
179 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
181 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
183 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
184 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
186 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
187 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
189 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
191 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
192 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
193 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
194 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
195 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
198 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
200 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
201 widths, restoring right justification feature
203 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
205 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
206 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
207 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
209 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
212 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
214 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
215 handling multi column characters.
217 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
219 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
221 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
223 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
224 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
227 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
229 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
231 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
233 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
236 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
238 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
241 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
243 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
244 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
245 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
246 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
248 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
250 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
251 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
252 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
253 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
254 where configure's autodetection fails.
256 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
258 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
259 configure script change.
261 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
263 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
264 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
265 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
268 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
270 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
271 the context is only read once.
273 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
275 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
276 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
278 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
280 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
281 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
283 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
284 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
287 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
288 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
291 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
293 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
294 vi isn't found during build.
296 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
298 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
299 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
301 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
302 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
303 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
305 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
307 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
308 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
310 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
311 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
312 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
313 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
316 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
317 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
318 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
320 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
321 entry in the context file.
323 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
325 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
326 problems on some systems
328 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
329 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
331 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
333 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
334 sendmail isn't found during build.
336 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
338 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
340 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
342 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
343 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
345 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
346 references to the web page and mailing list locations
348 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
349 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
351 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
354 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
356 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
357 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
358 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
360 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
361 was configured with --enable-apop.
363 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
364 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
365 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
367 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
368 new versions of flex.
370 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
371 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
372 doesn't guess wrongly.
374 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
376 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
377 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
379 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
380 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
382 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
383 files with numbers as names
385 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
387 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
389 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
391 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
393 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
394 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
396 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
398 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
401 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
402 test/report error writing to stdout
404 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
406 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
408 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
409 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
410 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
412 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
413 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
414 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
416 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
418 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
419 character set used by the current locale
421 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
422 message's filename overflows an int when converted
424 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
425 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
427 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
429 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
432 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
434 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
435 from Michael Richardson.
437 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
438 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
440 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
442 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
443 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
445 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
447 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
448 find sub-parts of the specified part
450 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
452 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
453 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
454 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
455 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
456 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
457 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
458 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
461 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
463 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
464 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
465 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
468 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
469 refiling with -src option.
471 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
473 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
475 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
477 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
478 mailpath being overwritten.
480 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
482 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
483 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
484 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
485 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
486 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
487 reinitializes the tmp file string.
489 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
490 if a format string was read from the profile.
492 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
493 path for the external hook.
495 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
497 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
498 another location for ndbm.
500 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
502 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
504 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
506 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
509 136976 - Handle binary content messages
510 143427 - mh-format.man typo
511 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
512 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
513 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
514 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
515 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
516 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
517 181867 - typo for nmh.man
519 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
521 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
522 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
523 contitional code which will result in cached data to
524 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
525 and parse on the first use.
526 * Remove some unused flag bits.
528 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
530 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
531 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
533 #578 - repl leaks umask
534 #1393 - sortm core dumps
535 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
536 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
537 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
539 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
540 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
542 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
544 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
545 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
547 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
549 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
550 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
551 to docs/README.about.
553 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
555 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
557 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
558 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
559 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
560 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
563 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
565 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
566 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
567 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
568 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
569 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
570 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
573 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
574 summary configure prints out.
576 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
577 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
578 subjectively more readable) format.
580 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
582 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
585 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
587 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
588 19xx when it's not necessary.
590 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
592 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
593 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
596 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
597 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
598 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
599 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
600 the man pages correctly.
602 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
604 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
606 * Finished manpages ali-prev
608 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
609 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
610 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
613 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
614 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
615 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
616 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
618 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
620 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
621 the formatting rules I've been using.
625 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
627 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
628 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
629 used in the manpages.
631 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
632 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
633 read in the contents of the file as the variable
636 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
637 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
638 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
639 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
640 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
641 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
642 bold flags and italicized parameters.
644 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
646 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
647 --with-locking option.
649 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
650 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
651 information was not being communicated to the
652 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
653 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
654 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
655 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
656 undefined symbols problems.
658 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
659 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
660 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
661 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
662 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
663 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
664 for a genuine krb4 installation.
666 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
668 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
669 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
671 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
673 * Made a new ./configure option called
674 "--with-locking" that allows the file
675 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
676 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
678 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
679 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
680 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
681 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
682 the user that these are the valid options, and
683 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
686 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
688 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
689 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
690 committed to supporting flex only, since
691 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
692 string, as well as other problems documented
693 below and on nmh-workers.
695 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
696 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
697 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
700 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
701 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
703 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
705 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
706 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
707 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
709 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
711 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
712 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
714 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
716 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
717 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
718 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
719 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
720 couldn't correctly identify them.
722 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
724 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
725 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
726 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
727 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
728 not depending on an external archive.
730 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
731 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
732 mts/generic is no longer built.
734 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
736 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
737 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
738 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
739 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
740 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
741 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
742 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
743 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
745 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
747 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
748 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
751 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
753 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
754 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
755 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
758 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
759 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
760 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
761 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
763 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
764 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
765 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
766 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
767 merged into the smtp code).
769 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
770 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
771 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
774 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
775 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
776 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
777 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
778 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
779 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
780 in the appropriate Makefile.in
782 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
784 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
785 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
786 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
787 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
788 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
789 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
790 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
791 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
792 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
793 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
794 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
796 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
798 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
799 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
800 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
801 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
802 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
803 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
804 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
805 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
806 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
808 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
810 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
811 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
814 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
816 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
817 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
819 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
821 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
822 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
823 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
824 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
826 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
828 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
829 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
830 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
831 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
832 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
834 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
835 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
837 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
839 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
842 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
843 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
844 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
846 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
847 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
848 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
849 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
851 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
852 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
853 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
854 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
856 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
857 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
858 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
860 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
862 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
863 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
864 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
865 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
866 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
867 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
870 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
871 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
873 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
874 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
876 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
878 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
880 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
882 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
883 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
884 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
885 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
887 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
889 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
890 be easily changed from "," to "#".
892 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
894 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
896 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
897 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
900 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
902 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
903 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
904 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
905 but not for the subsequent data stream.
907 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
909 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
910 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
911 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
912 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
913 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
915 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
917 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
918 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
920 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
921 cat, also define lorder as echo.
923 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
925 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
927 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
928 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
929 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
931 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
933 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
936 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
937 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
939 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
941 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
942 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
944 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
946 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
947 inc does not need to be setgid.
949 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
951 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
952 library, as found on Debian systems.
954 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
956 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
958 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
959 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
960 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
961 case-insensitivity flag.
963 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
965 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
966 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
968 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
970 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
971 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
972 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
973 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
974 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
975 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
976 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
977 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
978 getting moved aside).
980 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
981 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
983 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
985 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
986 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
987 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
988 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
989 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
990 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
991 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
992 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
993 the prototype, but never sets it.
995 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
996 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
997 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
998 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
999 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1000 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1002 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1003 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1004 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1005 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1006 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1008 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1010 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1011 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1014 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1015 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1016 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1017 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1018 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1019 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1020 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1022 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1024 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1026 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1027 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1028 this works on other systems.
1030 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1032 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1033 checks for write failures.
1035 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1037 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1039 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1042 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1044 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1046 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1048 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1049 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1052 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1054 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1055 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1056 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1057 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1059 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1061 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1062 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1065 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1066 as well as Makefiles.
1068 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1070 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1071 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1072 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1073 should make maintainability easier.
1075 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1076 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1077 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1078 whatever you know works.
1080 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1083 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1084 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1086 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1087 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1088 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1089 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1091 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1092 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1093 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1095 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1096 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1097 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1098 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1099 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1101 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1102 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1103 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1104 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1105 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1106 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1107 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1108 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1109 from the BSD version.
1111 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1112 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1113 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1115 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1116 in ruserpass.c also.
1118 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1121 This happens on solaris:
1124 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1125 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1129 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1131 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1132 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1134 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1136 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1137 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1138 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1139 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1140 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1141 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1142 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1143 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1144 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1145 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1146 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1148 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1149 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1150 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1151 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1152 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1153 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1156 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1157 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1158 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1159 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1160 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1162 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1163 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1165 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1167 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1168 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1169 to stdin, such as exmh.
1171 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1172 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1173 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1176 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1178 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1179 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1180 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1181 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1182 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1183 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1184 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1186 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1188 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1189 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1191 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1193 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1194 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1196 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1198 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1201 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1202 along with any -host or -user option.
1204 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1206 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1208 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1209 process was fresh in my mind.
1211 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1213 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1214 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1216 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1218 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1220 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1223 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1224 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1225 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1226 part of the program's name.
1228 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1229 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1232 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1234 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1235 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1236 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1237 single-character format would cause programs using this
1238 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1239 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1240 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1241 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1244 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1246 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1247 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1248 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1249 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1250 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1251 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1253 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1254 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1255 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1256 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1257 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1258 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1259 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1260 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1262 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1263 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1264 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1265 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1266 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1267 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1268 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1269 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1270 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1271 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1273 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1275 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1276 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1278 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1279 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1281 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1286 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1288 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1289 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1290 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1291 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1293 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1294 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1295 problem in the routine.
1297 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1299 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1300 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1302 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1303 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1304 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1307 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1309 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1310 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1311 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1312 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1313 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1314 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1315 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1316 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1317 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1318 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1320 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1322 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1323 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1324 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1325 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1326 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1327 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1328 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1329 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1330 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1331 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1332 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1333 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1335 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1336 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1337 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1338 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1339 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1341 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1344 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1346 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1347 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1348 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1349 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1352 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1354 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1356 * Applied, after some finessing,
1357 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1359 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1361 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1363 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1364 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1365 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1366 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1368 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1370 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1371 forgetting to do so!).
1373 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1374 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1375 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1376 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1377 arguments to enable all three types.
1379 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1380 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1382 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1383 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1384 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1385 updated copy of mts.conf.
1387 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1389 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1390 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1391 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1393 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1395 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1397 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1398 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1399 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1401 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1402 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1403 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1405 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1406 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1407 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1409 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1411 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1413 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1415 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1417 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1418 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1420 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1421 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1422 certain suffix to run properly.
1424 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1425 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1426 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1428 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1429 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1430 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1431 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1432 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1433 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1434 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1436 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1438 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1439 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1440 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1441 until some year far in the future).
1443 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1445 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1447 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1448 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1450 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1451 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1454 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1456 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1457 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1458 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1459 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1460 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1461 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1463 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1465 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1467 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1468 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1469 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1471 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1472 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1473 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1474 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1475 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1476 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1479 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1480 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1481 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1482 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1483 of masquerading individually.
1485 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1486 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1487 GECOS field delimiters.
1489 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1491 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1492 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1493 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1494 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1495 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1496 and explaining the feature.
1498 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1500 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1501 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1504 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1505 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1506 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1508 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1509 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1510 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1511 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1513 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1514 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1515 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1518 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1520 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1521 code to be executed.
1523 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1525 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1527 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1528 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1529 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1530 quotes embedded in them.
1532 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1534 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1535 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1536 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1537 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1538 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1539 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1540 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1543 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1544 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1545 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1546 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1547 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1549 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1551 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1553 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1554 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1555 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1556 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1558 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1561 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1563 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1565 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1567 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1568 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1569 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1571 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1574 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1577 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1578 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1579 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1580 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1581 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1583 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1584 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1586 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1588 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1591 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1593 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1594 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1595 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1598 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1599 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1600 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1601 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1602 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1603 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1604 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1605 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1606 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1607 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1608 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1609 processing that post has).
1611 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1613 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1614 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1615 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1616 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1617 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1618 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1621 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1623 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1625 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1627 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1629 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1630 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1632 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1635 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1637 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1638 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1639 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1642 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1644 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1645 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1646 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1647 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1648 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1649 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1651 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1653 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1655 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1657 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1658 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1659 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1660 caught again. This works for now.
1662 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1664 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1666 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1667 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1669 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1671 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1672 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1674 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1676 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1678 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1680 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1681 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1683 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1685 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1686 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1687 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1688 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1689 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1692 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1694 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1695 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1696 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1698 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1699 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1702 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1704 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1705 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1706 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1708 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1710 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1711 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1713 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1715 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1718 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1719 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1721 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1722 macros, regardless of platform.
1724 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1725 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1727 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1728 with x-conversions=gzip.
1730 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1732 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1735 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1736 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1737 implicit definition of ioctl().
1739 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1740 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1741 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1742 want to mess with them.
1744 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1746 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1747 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1749 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1750 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1752 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1753 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1754 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1756 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1757 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1758 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1760 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1761 function initgroups.
1763 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1766 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1767 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1770 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1771 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1774 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1775 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1779 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1781 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1782 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1783 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1785 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1786 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1788 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1790 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1792 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1793 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1794 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1795 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1797 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1798 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1800 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1802 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1804 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1806 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1807 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1809 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1811 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1812 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1814 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1815 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1816 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1817 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1819 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1820 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1822 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1824 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1825 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1827 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1829 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1830 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1833 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1835 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1837 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1839 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1840 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1842 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1843 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1844 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1846 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1847 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1848 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1850 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1851 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1852 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1854 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1855 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1858 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1859 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1861 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1862 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1864 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1865 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1867 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1868 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1869 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1871 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1872 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1874 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1875 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1876 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1878 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1879 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1882 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1883 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1885 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1886 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1887 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1888 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1890 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1891 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1893 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1897 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1898 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1899 would not be changed.
1901 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1902 one from the Apache web server.
1904 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1905 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1907 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1908 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1909 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1911 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1913 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1915 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1916 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1919 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1920 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1921 removes a bad race condition.
1923 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1926 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1927 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1928 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1930 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1931 sequence information.
1933 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1934 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1936 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1939 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1942 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1944 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1945 interpret 034 as octal.
1947 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1949 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1950 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1952 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1953 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1955 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1956 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1958 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1959 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1961 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1962 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1964 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1965 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1966 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1968 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1969 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1970 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1972 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1974 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1976 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1977 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1980 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1982 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1983 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1985 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1986 header field information.
1988 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1989 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1991 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1992 values when parsing a content.
1994 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1995 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1997 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1998 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2000 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2001 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2003 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2004 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2006 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2008 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2010 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2012 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2014 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2015 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2018 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2019 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2021 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2022 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2023 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2024 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2025 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2026 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2029 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2031 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2032 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2033 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2035 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2036 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2038 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2040 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2041 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2042 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2043 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2045 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2046 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2049 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2050 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2051 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2052 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2055 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2057 * Released nmh-0.27.
2059 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2060 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2062 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2063 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2064 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2065 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2068 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2069 mhbuild returns an error.
2071 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2072 rename the draft file.
2074 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2075 use a global variable.
2077 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2078 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2080 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2081 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2083 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2084 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2085 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2087 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2088 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2090 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2091 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2094 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2095 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2098 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2099 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2101 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2102 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2103 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2105 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2106 to new function output_content_folder.
2108 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2109 new function output_content_file.
2111 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2112 to new function parse_format_string.
2114 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2115 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2116 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2117 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2119 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2120 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2121 message/external file from ftp.
2123 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2124 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2125 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2127 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2128 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2131 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2134 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2135 new file mhstoresbr.c
2137 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2140 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2141 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2143 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2144 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2146 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2147 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2148 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2150 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2152 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2154 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2155 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2158 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2159 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2161 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2164 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2166 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2168 * Released nmh-0.26.
2170 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2171 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2172 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2173 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2175 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2176 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2177 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2178 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2179 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2181 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2182 But it is not on by default.
2184 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2185 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2187 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2189 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2191 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2193 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2195 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2196 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2198 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2200 * Released nmh-0.25.
2202 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2203 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2204 uses the original name of the library.
2206 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2207 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2210 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2211 list_content and list_debug.
2213 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2215 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2216 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2218 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2220 * Released nmh-0.24.
2222 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2224 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2225 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2227 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2228 large sequence line.
2230 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2232 * Released nmh-0.23.
2234 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2236 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2237 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2238 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2239 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2241 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2242 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2245 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2247 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2249 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2251 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2252 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2254 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2255 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2257 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2258 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2260 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2261 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2263 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Released nmh-0.22.
2267 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2268 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2270 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2272 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2273 mh-profile(5) man page.
2275 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2276 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2278 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2280 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2282 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2283 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2285 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2287 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2288 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2289 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2291 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2292 source message on the standard input.
2294 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2296 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2297 rather than -rfc934mode.
2299 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2300 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2303 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2304 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2306 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2309 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.21.
2313 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2314 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2316 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2319 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2320 to use for text contents.
2322 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2324 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2326 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2328 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2330 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2331 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2333 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2334 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2335 spaces between encoded word are.
2337 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2339 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2340 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2342 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2343 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2344 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2346 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2348 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2349 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2351 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2353 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2355 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2356 ISO-8859-X character set.
2358 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2361 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2362 permissions, not write permissions.
2364 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2365 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2367 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2370 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2372 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2374 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2375 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2377 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2378 message contains valid character set.
2380 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2381 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2383 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2384 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2386 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2387 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2388 between an encoded word and normal text.
2390 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2391 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2393 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2394 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2396 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2399 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2400 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2403 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2404 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2406 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2407 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2409 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2411 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2413 * Released nmh-0.20.
2415 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2417 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2419 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2420 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2421 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2423 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2424 and the To: line was missing.
2426 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2428 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2430 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2432 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2433 watch the POP transaction.
2435 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2436 first, and use it if available.
2438 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2439 first, and use it if available.
2441 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2443 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2445 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2446 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2447 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2450 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2451 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2452 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2454 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2455 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2458 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2460 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2461 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2463 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2465 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2466 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2468 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2469 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2470 message to which you are replying.
2472 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2473 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2474 making group replies.
2476 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2478 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2480 * Released nmh-0.19.
2482 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2483 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2485 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2486 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2487 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2488 to the end of the man page.
2490 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2491 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2492 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2493 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2494 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2495 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2497 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2500 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2501 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2502 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2504 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2505 the next available number above the message number you wish
2508 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2509 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2511 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2512 file sbr/seq_print.c
2514 * flist will now update the current folder.
2516 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2517 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2518 but now undocumented.
2520 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2523 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2524 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2526 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2528 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2529 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2531 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2533 * Released nmh-0.18.
2535 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2536 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2537 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2539 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2540 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2542 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2543 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2544 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2545 previous public/private status.
2547 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2550 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2553 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2554 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2555 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2557 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2558 take option to determine whether it should get current
2559 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2560 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2562 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2564 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2565 wait for stopped processes.
2567 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2568 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2570 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2572 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2574 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2575 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2577 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2578 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2580 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2581 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2582 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2583 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2585 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2588 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2591 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2593 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2594 the debugging output.
2596 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2597 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2599 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2601 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2603 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2604 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2606 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2608 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2609 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2610 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2611 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2612 in the given sequence.
2614 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2615 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2616 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2617 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2618 subdirectories of a given directory.
2620 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2621 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2622 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2624 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2625 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2627 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2629 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2632 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2633 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2634 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2636 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2637 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2638 are calculated at runtime.
2640 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2642 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2644 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2645 about checking for global mh.profile.
2647 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2648 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2649 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2650 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2651 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2652 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2654 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2655 adding message to folder itself.
2657 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2658 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2659 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2662 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2663 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2666 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2667 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2668 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2670 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2671 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2673 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2674 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2675 code to use it yet).
2677 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2679 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2681 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2682 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2684 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2685 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2687 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2689 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2692 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2694 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2696 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2698 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2700 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2701 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2703 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2705 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2707 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2709 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2711 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2713 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2714 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2716 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2717 configuration files.
2719 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2721 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2723 * Released nmh-0.17.
2725 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2727 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2728 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2730 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2733 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2734 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2736 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2737 number of refiled message.
2739 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2741 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2742 for return value of wait().
2744 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2746 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2748 * Released nmh-0.16.
2750 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2752 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2754 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2755 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2756 deal with binary messages, yet).
2758 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2760 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2762 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2763 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2764 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2765 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2766 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2767 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2769 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2770 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2772 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2773 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2775 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2776 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2779 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2781 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2783 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2784 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2787 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2790 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2792 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2793 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2794 which used unsigned chars by default.
2796 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2798 * Released nmh-0.15.
2800 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2801 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2803 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2805 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2807 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2810 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2811 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2812 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2814 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2815 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2817 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2819 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2820 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2822 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2823 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2824 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2825 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2827 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2828 and put in own subroutine.
2830 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2831 and put in own subroutine.

2834 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2835 refile.c to use new routine.

2839 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2841 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use

2845 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2846 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2848 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2851 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2866 selected messages to a sequence.
2868 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2871 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2917 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2918 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2919 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2920 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2923 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2924 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2926 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2928 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2929 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2931 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2933 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2962 will suppress the display of the message header.
2964 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2966 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2967 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2969 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2971 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2973 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2976 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2978 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2979 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2981 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2983 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2985 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2986 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2988 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2989 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

3003 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3005 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3006 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3008 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3013 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3014 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3016 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3048 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3049 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3051 * Released nmh-0.08.
3053 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3054 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3055 locking database itself.

3059 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3061 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3062 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3065 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3066 rather than mmdf format.
3068 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3069 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3070 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3071 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3073 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3075 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3077 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3080 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3081 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3082 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3084 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3085 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3086 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3088 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3090 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3091 can still easily change this in config.h).
3093 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3094 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3095 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3097 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3099 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3111 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3113 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3114 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3116 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3117 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3120 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3121 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3134 * Released nmh-0.06.
3136 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3137 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3139 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3140 many such machines around anymore.
3142 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3143 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3145 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3146 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3148 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3150 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3151 pre-generated version if necessary.
3153 * Released nmh-0.05.
3155 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3156 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3157 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3158 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3160 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3161 be linked in one pass.
3163 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3165 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3166 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3168 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3170 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3172 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3174 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3175 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3176 become the current folder.
3178 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3180 * Released nmh-0.04.
3182 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3185 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3187 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3188 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3189 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3191 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3193 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3194 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3196 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3198 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3199 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3202 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3203 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3205 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3207 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3208 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3209 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3210 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3211 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3212 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3214 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3216 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3217 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3219 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3220 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3222 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3224 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3225 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3227 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3229 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3230 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3231 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3233 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3235 * Released nmh-0.03.
3237 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3238 .mh_sequence file existed.
3240 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3241 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3243 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3244 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3247 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3249 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3252 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3255 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3256 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3258 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3260 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3261 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3262 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3264 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3266 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3267 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3269 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3271 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3273 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3274 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3275 directory from where the source code is located.
3277 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * Released nmh-0.02.

3293 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3295 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3297 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3300 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3301 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3302 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3303 rather than in script.
3305 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3307 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3309 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3310 macro defined on Solaris.
3312 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3314 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3315 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3317 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3318 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3319 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3320 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3323 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3325 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3326 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3328 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3331 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3333 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3335 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3336 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3338 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3340 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3341 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3343 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3345 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3346 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3347 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3348 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3349 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3350 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3352 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3354 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3356 * Released nmh-0.01.
3358 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3359 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3360 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3363 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3365 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3368 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3370 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3371 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3373 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3375 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3376 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3377 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3378 script to find_program.
3380 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3382 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3383 speed up -recurse option.
3385 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3386 yet, but it compiles :-)
3388 * Changed default location for install to
3389 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3390 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3391 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3394 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3395 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3396 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
