3 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
4 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
7 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
8 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
9 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
11 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
14 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
16 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
17 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
18 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
20 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
21 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
22 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
24 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
26 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
27 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
28 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
29 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
30 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
31 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
32 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
34 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
36 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
37 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
39 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
41 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
42 with multibyte support.
44 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
45 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
46 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
47 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
49 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
51 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
52 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
54 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
55 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
57 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
59 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
60 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
61 the address of a static array.
63 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
65 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
66 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
68 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
70 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
71 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
72 This allows users to masquerade with the default
73 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
74 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
75 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
78 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
80 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
81 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
82 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
83 ruserpass() has a void return type.
85 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
86 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
87 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
88 provide memmove() substitute implementation
90 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
91 source directory' feature
93 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
94 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
96 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
98 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
99 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
100 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
103 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
105 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
106 is the wrong approach.
108 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
109 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
110 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
113 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
114 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
115 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
116 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
117 broken for continued lines from the server.
119 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
121 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
122 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
124 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
126 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
128 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
131 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
133 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
135 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
137 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
138 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
139 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
140 obsolete feature of autoconf
142 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
144 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
145 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
146 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
148 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
150 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
151 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
153 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
155 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
158 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
160 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
161 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
162 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
163 following done() (should never be reached).
165 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
167 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
168 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
170 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
172 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
173 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
175 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
177 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
178 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
179 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
180 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
181 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
182 acconfig.h if you must.
184 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
186 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
187 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
188 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
189 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
191 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
193 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
196 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
198 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
199 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
200 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
201 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
202 have Content-Disposition.
204 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
206 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
209 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
211 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
212 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
214 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
216 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
217 encoded block is empty
219 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
221 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
222 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
223 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
226 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
228 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
229 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
232 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
234 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
235 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
236 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
237 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
240 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
241 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
243 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
245 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
246 function num_digits into utils.c
248 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
250 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
251 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
252 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
254 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
256 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
257 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
258 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
259 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
260 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
261 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
262 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
263 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
265 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
267 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
268 Content-Disposition header.
270 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
272 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
273 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
274 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
275 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
276 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
277 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
278 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
279 users to easily accomodate that by adding
280 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
282 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
284 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
285 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
287 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
289 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
291 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
292 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
294 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
295 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
297 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
299 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
300 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
301 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
302 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
303 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
306 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
308 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
309 widths, restoring right justification feature
311 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
313 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
314 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
315 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
317 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
320 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
322 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
323 handling multi column characters.
325 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
327 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
329 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
331 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
332 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
335 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
337 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
339 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
341 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
344 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
346 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
349 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
351 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
352 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
353 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
354 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
356 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
358 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
359 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
360 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
361 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
362 where configure's autodetection fails.
364 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
366 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
367 configure script change.
369 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
371 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
372 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
373 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
376 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
378 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
379 the context is only read once.
381 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
383 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
384 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
386 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
388 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
389 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
391 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
392 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
395 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
396 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
399 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
401 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
402 vi isn't found during build.
404 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
406 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
407 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
409 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
410 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
411 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
413 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
415 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
416 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
418 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
419 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
420 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
421 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
424 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
425 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
426 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
428 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
429 entry in the context file.
431 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
433 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
434 problems on some systems
436 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
437 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
439 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
441 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
442 sendmail isn't found during build.
444 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
446 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
448 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
450 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
451 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
453 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
454 references to the web page and mailing list locations
456 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
457 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
459 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
462 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
464 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
465 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
466 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
468 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
469 was configured with --enable-apop.
471 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
472 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
473 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
475 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
476 new versions of flex.
478 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
479 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
480 doesn't guess wrongly.
482 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
484 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
485 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
487 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
488 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
490 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
491 files with numbers as names
493 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
495 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
497 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
499 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
501 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
502 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
504 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
506 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
509 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
510 test/report error writing to stdout
512 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
514 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
516 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
517 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
518 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
520 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
521 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
522 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
524 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
526 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
527 character set used by the current locale
529 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
530 message's filename overflows an int when converted
532 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
533 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
535 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
537 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
540 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
542 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
543 from Michael Richardson.
545 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
546 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
548 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
550 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
551 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
553 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
555 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
556 find sub-parts of the specified part
558 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
560 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
561 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
562 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
563 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
564 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
565 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
566 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
569 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
571 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
572 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
573 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
576 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
577 refiling with -src option.
579 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
581 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
583 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
585 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
586 mailpath being overwritten.
588 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
590 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
591 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
592 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
593 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
594 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
595 reinitializes the tmp file string.
597 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
598 if a format string was read from the profile.
600 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
601 path for the external hook.
603 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
605 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
606 another location for ndbm.
608 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
610 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
612 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
614 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
617 136976 - Handle binary content messages
618 143427 - mh-format.man typo
619 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
620 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
621 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
622 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
623 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
624 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
625 181867 - typo for nmh.man
627 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
629 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
630 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
631 contitional code which will result in cached data to
632 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
633 and parse on the first use.
634 * Remove some unused flag bits.
636 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
638 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
639 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
641 #578 - repl leaks umask
642 #1393 - sortm core dumps
643 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
644 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
645 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
647 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
648 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
650 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
652 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
653 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
655 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
657 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
658 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
659 to docs/README.about.
661 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
663 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
665 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
666 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
667 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
668 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
671 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
673 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
674 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
675 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
676 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
677 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
678 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
681 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
682 summary configure prints out.
684 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
685 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
686 subjectively more readable) format.
688 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
690 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
693 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
695 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
696 19xx when it's not necessary.
698 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
700 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
701 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
704 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
705 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
706 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
707 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
708 the man pages correctly.
710 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
712 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
714 * Finished manpages ali-prev
716 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
717 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
718 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
721 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
722 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
723 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
724 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
726 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
728 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
729 the formatting rules I've been using.
733 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
735 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
736 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
737 used in the manpages.
739 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
740 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
741 read in the contents of the file as the variable
744 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
745 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
746 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
747 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
748 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
749 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
750 bold flags and italicized parameters.
752 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
754 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
755 --with-locking option.
757 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
758 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
759 information was not being communicated to the
760 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
761 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
762 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
763 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
764 undefined symbols problems.
766 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
767 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
768 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
769 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
770 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
771 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
772 for a genuine krb4 installation.
774 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
776 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
777 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
779 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
781 * Made a new ./configure option called
782 "--with-locking" that allows the file
783 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
784 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
786 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
787 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
788 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
789 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
790 the user that these are the valid options, and
791 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
794 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
796 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
797 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
798 committed to supporting flex only, since
799 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
800 string, as well as other problems documented
801 below and on nmh-workers.
803 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
804 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
805 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
808 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
809 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
811 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
813 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
814 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
815 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
817 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
819 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
820 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
822 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
824 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
825 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
826 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
827 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
828 couldn't correctly identify them.
830 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
832 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
833 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
834 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
835 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
836 not depending on an external archive.
838 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
839 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
840 mts/generic is no longer built.
842 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
844 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
845 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
846 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
847 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
848 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
849 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
850 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
851 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
853 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
855 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
856 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
859 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
861 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
862 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
863 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
866 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
867 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
868 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
869 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
871 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
872 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
873 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
874 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
875 merged into the smtp code).
877 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
878 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
879 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
882 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
883 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
884 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
885 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
886 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
887 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
888 in the appropriate Makefile.in
890 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
892 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
893 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
894 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
895 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
896 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
897 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
898 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
899 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
900 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
901 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
902 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
904 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
906 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
907 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
908 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
909 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
910 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
911 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
912 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
913 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
914 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
916 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
918 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
919 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
922 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
924 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
925 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
927 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
929 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
930 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
931 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
932 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
934 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
936 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
937 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
938 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
939 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
940 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
942 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
943 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
945 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
947 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
949 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
950 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
951 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
952 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
954 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
955 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
956 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
957 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
959 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
960 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
961 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
962 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
964 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
965 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
966 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
968 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
970 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
971 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
972 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
973 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
974 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
975 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
978 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
979 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
981 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
982 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
984 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
986 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
988 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
990 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
991 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
992 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
993 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
995 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
997 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
998 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1000 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1002 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1004 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1005 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1008 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1010 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1011 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1012 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1013 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1015 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1017 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1018 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1019 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1020 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1021 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1023 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1025 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1026 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1028 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1029 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1031 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1033 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1035 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1036 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1037 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1039 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1041 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1044 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1045 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1047 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1049 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1050 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1052 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1054 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1055 inc does not need to be setgid.
1057 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1059 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1060 library, as found on Debian systems.
1062 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1064 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1066 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1067 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1068 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1069 case-insensitivity flag.
1071 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1073 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1074 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1076 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1078 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1079 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1080 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1081 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1082 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1083 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1084 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1085 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1086 getting moved aside).
1088 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1089 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1091 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1093 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1094 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1095 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1096 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1097 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1098 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1099 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1100 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1101 the prototype, but never sets it.
1103 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1104 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1105 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1106 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1107 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1108 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1110 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1111 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1112 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1113 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1114 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1116 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1118 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1119 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1122 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1123 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1124 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1125 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1126 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1127 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1128 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1130 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1132 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1134 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1135 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1136 this works on other systems.
1138 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1140 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1141 checks for write failures.
1143 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1145 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1147 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1150 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1152 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1154 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1156 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1157 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1160 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1162 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1163 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1164 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1165 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1167 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1169 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1170 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1173 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1174 as well as Makefiles.
1176 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1178 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1179 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1180 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1181 should make maintainability easier.
1183 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1184 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1185 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1186 whatever you know works.
1188 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1190 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1191 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1192 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1194 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1195 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1196 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1197 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1199 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1200 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1201 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1203 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1204 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1205 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1206 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1207 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1209 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1210 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1211 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1212 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1213 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1214 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1215 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1216 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1217 from the BSD version.
1219 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1220 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1221 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1223 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1224 in ruserpass.c also.
1226 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1229 This happens on solaris:
1232 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1233 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1237 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1239 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1240 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1242 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1245 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1246 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1247 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1248 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1249 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1250 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1251 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1252 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1253 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1254 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1256 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1257 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1258 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1259 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1260 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1261 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1264 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1265 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1266 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1267 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1268 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1270 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1271 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1273 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1275 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1276 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1277 to stdin, such as exmh.
1279 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1280 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1281 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1284 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1286 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1287 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1288 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1289 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1290 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1291 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1292 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1294 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1296 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1297 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1299 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1301 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1302 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1304 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1306 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1309 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1310 along with any -host or -user option.
1312 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1314 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1316 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1317 process was fresh in my mind.
1319 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1321 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1322 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1324 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1326 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1328 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1331 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1332 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1333 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1334 part of the program's name.
1336 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1337 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1340 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1342 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1343 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1344 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1345 single-character format would cause programs using this
1346 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1347 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1348 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1349 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1352 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1354 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1355 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1356 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1357 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1358 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1359 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1361 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1362 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1363 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1364 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1365 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1366 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1367 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1368 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1370 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1371 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1372 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1373 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1374 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1375 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1376 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1377 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1378 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1379 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1381 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1383 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1384 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1386 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1387 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1389 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1394 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1396 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1397 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1398 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1399 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1401 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1402 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1403 problem in the routine.
1405 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1407 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1408 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1410 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1411 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1412 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1415 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1417 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1418 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1419 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1420 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1421 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1422 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1423 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1424 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1425 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1426 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1428 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1430 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1431 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1432 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1433 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1434 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1435 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1436 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1437 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1438 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1439 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1440 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1441 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1443 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1444 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1445 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1446 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1447 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1449 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1452 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1454 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1455 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1456 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1457 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1460 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1462 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1464 * Applied, after some finessing,
1465 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1467 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1469 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1471 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1472 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1473 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1474 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1476 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1478 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1479 forgetting to do so!).
1481 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1482 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1483 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1484 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1485 arguments to enable all three types.
1487 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1488 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1490 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1491 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1492 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1493 updated copy of mts.conf.
1495 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1497 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1498 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1499 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1501 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1503 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1505 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1506 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1507 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1509 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1510 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1511 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1513 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1514 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1515 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1517 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1519 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1521 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1523 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1525 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1526 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1528 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1529 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1530 certain suffix to run properly.
1532 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1533 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1534 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1536 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1537 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1538 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1539 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1540 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1541 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1542 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1544 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1546 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1547 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1548 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1549 until some year far in the future).
1551 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1553 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1555 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1556 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1558 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1559 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1562 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1564 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1565 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1566 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1567 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1568 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1569 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1571 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1573 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1575 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1576 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1577 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1579 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1580 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1581 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1582 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1583 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1584 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1587 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1588 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1589 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1590 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1591 of masquerading individually.
1593 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1594 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1595 GECOS field delimiters.
1597 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1599 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1600 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1601 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1602 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1603 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1604 and explaining the feature.
1606 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1608 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1609 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1612 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1613 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1614 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1616 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1617 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1618 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1619 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1621 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1622 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1623 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1626 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1628 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1629 code to be executed.
1631 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1633 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1635 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1636 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1637 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1638 quotes embedded in them.
1640 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1642 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1643 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1644 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1645 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1646 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1647 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1648 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1651 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1652 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1653 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1654 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1655 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1657 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1659 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1661 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1662 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1663 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1664 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1666 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1669 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1671 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1673 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1675 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1676 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1677 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1679 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1682 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1684 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1685 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1686 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1687 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1688 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1689 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1691 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1692 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1694 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1696 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1699 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1701 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1702 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1703 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1706 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1707 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1708 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1709 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1710 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1711 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1712 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1713 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1714 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1715 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1716 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1717 processing that post has).
1719 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1721 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1722 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1723 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1724 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1725 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1726 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1729 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1731 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1733 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1735 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1737 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1738 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1740 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1743 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1745 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1746 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1747 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1750 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1752 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1753 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1754 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1755 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1756 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1757 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1759 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1761 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1763 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1765 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1766 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1767 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1768 caught again. This works for now.
1770 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1772 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1774 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1775 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1777 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1779 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1780 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1782 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1784 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1786 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1788 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1789 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1791 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1793 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1794 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1795 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1796 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1797 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1800 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1802 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1803 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1804 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1806 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1807 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1810 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1812 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1813 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1814 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1816 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1818 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1819 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1821 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1823 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1826 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1827 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1829 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1830 macros, regardless of platform.
1832 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1833 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1835 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1836 with x-conversions=gzip.
1838 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1840 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1843 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1844 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1845 implicit definition of ioctl().
1847 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1848 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1849 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1850 want to mess with them.
1852 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1854 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1855 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1857 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1858 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1860 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1861 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1862 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1864 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1865 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1866 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1868 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1869 function initgroups.
1871 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1874 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1875 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1878 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1879 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1882 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1883 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1887 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1889 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1890 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1891 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1893 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1894 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1896 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1898 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1900 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1901 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1902 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1903 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1905 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1906 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1908 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1910 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1912 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1914 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1915 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1917 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1919 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1920 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1922 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1923 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1924 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1925 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1927 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1928 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1930 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1932 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1933 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1935 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1937 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1938 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1941 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1943 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1945 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1947 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1948 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1950 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1951 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1952 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1954 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1955 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1956 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1958 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1959 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1960 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1962 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1963 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1966 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1967 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1969 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1970 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1972 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1973 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1975 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1976 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1977 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1979 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1980 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1982 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1983 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1984 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1986 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1987 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1990 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1991 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1993 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1994 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1995 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1996 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1998 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1999 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2001 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2005 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2006 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2007 would not be changed.
2009 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2010 one from the Apache web server.
2012 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2013 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2015 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2016 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2017 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2019 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2021 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2023 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2024 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2027 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2028 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2029 removes a bad race condition.
2031 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2034 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2035 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2036 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2038 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2039 sequence information.
2041 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2042 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2044 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2047 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2050 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2052 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2053 interpret 034 as octal.
2055 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2057 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2058 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2060 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2061 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2063 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2064 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2066 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2067 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2069 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2070 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2072 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2073 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2074 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2076 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2077 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2078 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2080 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2082 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2084 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2085 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2088 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2090 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2091 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2093 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2094 header field information.
2096 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2097 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2099 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2100 values when parsing a content.
2102 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2103 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2105 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2106 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2108 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2109 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2111 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2112 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2114 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2116 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2118 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2120 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2122 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2123 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2126 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2127 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2129 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2130 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2131 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2132 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2133 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2134 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2137 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2139 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2140 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2141 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2143 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2144 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2146 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2148 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2149 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2150 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2151 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2153 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2154 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2157 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2158 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2159 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2160 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2163 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2165 * Released nmh-0.27.
2167 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2168 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2170 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2171 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2172 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2173 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2176 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2177 mhbuild returns an error.
2179 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2180 rename the draft file.
2182 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2183 use a global variable.
2185 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2186 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2188 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2189 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2191 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2192 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2193 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2195 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2196 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2198 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2199 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2202 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2203 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2206 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2207 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2209 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2210 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2211 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2213 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2214 to new function output_content_folder.
2216 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2217 new function output_content_file.
2219 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2220 to new function parse_format_string.
2222 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2223 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2224 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2225 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2227 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2228 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2229 message/external file from ftp.
2231 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2232 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2233 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2235 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2236 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2239 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2242 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2243 new file mhstoresbr.c
2245 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2248 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2249 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2251 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2252 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2254 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2255 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2256 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2258 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2260 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2262 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2263 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2266 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2267 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2269 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2272 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2274 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2276 * Released nmh-0.26.
2278 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2279 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2280 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2281 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2283 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2284 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2285 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2286 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2287 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2289 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2290 But it is not on by default.
2292 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2293 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2295 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2297 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2299 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2301 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2303 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2304 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2306 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2308 * Released nmh-0.25.
2310 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2311 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2312 uses the original name of the library.
2314 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2315 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2318 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2319 list_content and list_debug.
2321 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2323 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2324 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2326 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2328 * Released nmh-0.24.
2330 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2332 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2333 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2335 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2336 large sequence line.
2338 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2340 * Released nmh-0.23.
2342 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2344 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2345 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2346 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2347 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2349 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2350 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2353 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2355 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2357 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2359 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2360 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2362 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2363 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2365 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2366 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2368 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2369 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2371 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2373 * Released nmh-0.22.
2375 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2376 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2378 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2380 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2381 mh-profile(5) man page.
2383 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2384 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2386 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2388 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2390 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2391 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2393 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2395 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2396 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2397 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2399 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2400 source message on the standard input.
2402 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2404 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2405 rather than -rfc934mode.
2407 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2408 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2411 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2412 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2414 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2417 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419 * Released nmh-0.21.
2421 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2422 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2424 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2427 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2428 to use for text contents.
2430 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2432 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2434 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2436 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2438 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2439 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2441 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2442 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2443 spaces between encoded word are.
2445 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2447 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2448 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2450 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2451 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2452 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2454 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2456 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2457 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2459 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2461 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2463 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2464 ISO-8859-X character set.
2466 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2469 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2470 permissions, not write permissions.
2472 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2473 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2475 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2478 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2480 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2482 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2483 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2485 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2486 message contains valid character set.
2488 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2489 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2491 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2492 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2494 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2495 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2496 between an encoded word and normal text.
2498 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2499 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2501 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2502 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2504 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2507 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2508 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2511 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2512 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2514 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2515 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2517 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2519 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2521 * Released nmh-0.20.
2523 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2525 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2527 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2528 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2529 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2531 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2532 and the To: line was missing.
2534 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2536 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2538 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2540 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2541 watch the POP transaction.
2543 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2544 first, and use it if available.
2546 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2547 first, and use it if available.
2549 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2551 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2553 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2554 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2555 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2558 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2559 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2560 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2562 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2563 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2566 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2568 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2569 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2571 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2573 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2574 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2576 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2577 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2578 message to which you are replying.
2580 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2581 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2582 making group replies.
2584 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2586 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2588 * Released nmh-0.19.
2590 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2591 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2593 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2594 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2595 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2596 to the end of the man page.
2598 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2599 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2600 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2601 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2602 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2603 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2605 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2608 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2609 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2610 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2612 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2613 the next available number above the message number you wish
2616 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2617 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2619 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2620 file sbr/seq_print.c
2622 * flist will now update the current folder.
2624 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2625 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2626 but now undocumented.
2628 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2631 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2632 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2634 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2636 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2637 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2639 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2641 * Released nmh-0.18.
2643 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2644 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2645 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2647 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2648 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2650 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2651 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2652 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2653 previous public/private status.
2655 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2658 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2661 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2662 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2663 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2665 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2666 take option to determine whether it should get current
2667 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2668 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2670 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2672 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2673 wait for stopped processes.
2675 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2676 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2678 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2682 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2683 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2685 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2686 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2688 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2689 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2690 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2691 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2693 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2696 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2699 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2701 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2702 the debugging output.
2704 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2705 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2707 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2709 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2711 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2712 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2714 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2716 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2717 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2718 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2719 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2720 in the given sequence.
2722 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2723 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2724 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2725 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2726 subdirectories of a given directory.
2728 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2729 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2730 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2732 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2733 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2735 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2737 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2740 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2741 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2742 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2744 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2745 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2746 are calculated at runtime.
2748 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2750 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2752 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2753 about checking for global mh.profile.
2755 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2756 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2757 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2758 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2759 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2760 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2762 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2763 adding message to folder itself.
2765 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2766 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2767 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2770 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2771 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2774 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2775 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2776 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2778 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2779 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2781 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2782 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2783 code to use it yet).
2785 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2787 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2789 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2790 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.

2833 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2835 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2836 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2838 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2841 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2842 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2844 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2845 number of refiled message.
2847 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.

2860 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2862 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2863 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2864 deal with binary messages, yet).
2866 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2868 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2870 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2871 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2872 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2873 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2874 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2875 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2877 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2878 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

2898 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2900 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2913 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2915 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters

2919 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2920 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2922 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2923 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2925 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2927 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since

2930 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2931 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2932 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2933 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2935 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2936 and put in own subroutine.
2938 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2939 and put in own subroutine.

2942 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2943 refile.c to use new routine.
2945 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2949 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2952 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2953 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2954 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2956 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2959 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2974 selected messages to a sequence.
2976 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2979 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2981 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2982 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2984 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2986 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3023 * Released nmh-0.13.
3025 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3026 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3027 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3028 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3031 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3032 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3034 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3036 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3037 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3039 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3041 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3066 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3067 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3069 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3070 will suppress the display of the message header.
3072 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3074 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3075 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3077 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3079 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3081 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3083 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3084 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3086 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3087 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3089 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3091 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3093 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3094 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3096 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3097 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3099 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3101 * Released nmh-0.10.

3111 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3113 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3114 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3116 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3121 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3122 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3124 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3126 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3154 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3156 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3157 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3159 * Released nmh-0.08.
3161 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3162 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3163 locking database itself.

3167 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3169 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3170 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3173 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3174 rather than mmdf format.
3176 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3177 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3178 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3179 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3181 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3183 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3185 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3188 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3189 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3190 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3192 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3193 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

3196 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3198 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3199 can still easily change this in config.h).
3201 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3202 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3203 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3205 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3207 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3222 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3224 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3225 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3228 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3229 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3232 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3234 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3236 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3238 * Added configure check for tzset.

3242 * Released nmh-0.06.
3244 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3245 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3247 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3248 many such machines around anymore.
3250 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3251 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3253 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3254 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3256 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3258 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3259 pre-generated version if necessary.
3261 * Released nmh-0.05.
3263 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3264 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3265 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3266 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3268 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3269 be linked in one pass.
3271 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3273 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3274 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3276 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3278 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3280 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3282 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3283 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3284 become the current folder.
3286 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3288 * Released nmh-0.04.
3290 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3293 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3295 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3296 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3297 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3299 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3301 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3302 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3304 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3306 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3307 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3310 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3311 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3313 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3315 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3316 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3317 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3318 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3319 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3320 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3322 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3324 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3325 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3327 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3328 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3330 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3332 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3333 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3335 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3337 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3338 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3339 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3341 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3343 * Released nmh-0.03.
3345 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3346 .mh_sequence file existed.
3348 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3349 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3351 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3352 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3355 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3357 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3360 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3362 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3363 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3364 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3366 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3368 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3369 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3370 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3372 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3374 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3375 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3377 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3379 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3381 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3382 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3383 directory from where the source code is located.
3385 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3387 * Released nmh-0.02.
3389 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3394 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3396 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3397 and sys_nerr directly.
3399 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3401 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3403 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3405 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3407 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3408 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3409 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3410 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3411 rather than in script.
3413 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3415 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3417 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3418 macro defined on Solaris.
3420 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3422 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3423 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3425 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3426 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3427 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3428 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3431 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3433 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3434 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3436 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3439 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3441 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3443 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3444 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3446 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3448 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3449 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3451 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3453 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3454 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3455 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3456 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3457 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3458 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3460 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3462 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3464 * Released nmh-0.01.
3466 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3467 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3468 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3471 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3473 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3476 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3478 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3479 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3481 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3483 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3484 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3485 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3486 script to find_program.
3488 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3490 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3491 speed up -recurse option.
3493 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3494 yet, but it compiles :-)
3496 * Changed default location for install to
3497 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3498 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3499 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3502 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3503 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3504 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
