1 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
3 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
4 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
7 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
9 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
11 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
12 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
13 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
14 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
17 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
19 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
20 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
21 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
22 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
23 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
24 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
27 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
28 summary configure prints out.
30 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
31 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
32 subjectively more readable) format.
34 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
36 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
39 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
41 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
42 19xx when it's not necessary.
44 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
46 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
47 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
50 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
51 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
52 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
53 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
54 the man pages correctly.
56 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
58 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
60 * Finished manpages ali-prev
62 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
63 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
64 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
67 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
68 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
69 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
70 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
72 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
74 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
75 the formatting rules I've been using.
79 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
81 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
82 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
85 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
86 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
87 read in the contents of the file as the variable
90 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
91 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
92 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
93 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
94 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
95 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
96 bold flags and italicized parameters.
98 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
100 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
101 --with-locking option.
103 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
104 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
105 information was not being communicated to the
106 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
107 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
108 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
109 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
110 undefined symbols problems.
112 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
113 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
114 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
115 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
116 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
117 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
118 for a genuine krb4 installation.
120 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
122 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
123 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
125 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
127 * Made a new ./configure option called
128 "--with-locking" that allows the file
129 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
130 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
132 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
133 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
134 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
135 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
136 the user that these are the valid options, and
137 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
140 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
142 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
143 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
144 committed to supporting flex only, since
145 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
146 string, as well as other problems documented
147 below and on nmh-workers.
149 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
150 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
151 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
154 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
155 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
157 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
159 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
160 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
161 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
163 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
165 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
166 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
168 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
170 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
171 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
172 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
173 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
174 couldn't correctly identify them.
176 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
178 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
179 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
180 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
181 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
182 not depending on an external archive.
184 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
185 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
186 mts/generic is no longer built.
188 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
190 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
191 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
192 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
193 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
194 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
195 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
196 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
197 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
199 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
201 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
202 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
205 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
207 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
208 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
209 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
212 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
213 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
214 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
215 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
217 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
218 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
219 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
220 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
221 merged into the smtp code).
223 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
224 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
225 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
228 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
229 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
230 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
231 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
232 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
233 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
234 in the appropriate Makefile.in
236 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
238 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
239 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
240 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
241 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
242 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
243 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
244 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
245 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
246 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
247 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
248 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
250 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
252 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
253 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
254 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
255 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
256 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
257 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
258 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
259 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
260 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
262 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
264 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
265 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
268 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
270 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
271 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
273 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
275 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
276 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
277 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
278 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
280 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
282 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
283 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
284 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
285 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
286 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
288 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
289 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
291 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
293 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
295 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
296 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
297 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
298 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
300 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
301 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
302 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
303 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
305 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
306 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
307 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
308 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
310 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
311 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
312 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
314 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
316 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
317 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
318 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
319 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
320 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
321 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
324 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
325 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
327 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
328 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
330 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
332 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
334 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
336 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
337 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
338 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
339 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
341 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
343 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
344 be easily changed from "," to "#".
346 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
348 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
350 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
351 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
354 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
356 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
357 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
358 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
359 but not for the subsequent data stream.
361 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
363 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
364 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
365 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
366 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
367 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
369 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
371 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
372 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
374 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
375 cat, also define lorder as echo.
377 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
379 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
381 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
382 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
383 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
385 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
387 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
390 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
391 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
393 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
395 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
396 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
398 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
400 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
401 inc does not need to be setgid.
403 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
405 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
406 library, as found on Debian systems.
408 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
410 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
412 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
413 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
414 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
415 case-insensitivity flag.
417 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
419 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
420 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
422 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
424 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
425 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
426 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
427 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
428 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
429 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
430 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
431 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
432 getting moved aside).
434 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
435 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
437 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
439 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
440 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
441 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
442 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
443 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
444 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
445 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
446 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
447 the prototype, but never sets it.
449 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
450 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
451 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
452 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
453 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
454 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
456 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
457 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
458 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
459 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
460 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
462 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
464 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
465 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
468 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
469 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
470 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
471 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
472 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
473 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
474 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
476 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
478 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
480 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
481 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
482 this works on other systems.
484 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
486 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
487 checks for write failures.
489 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
491 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
493 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
496 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
498 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
500 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
502 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
503 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
506 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
508 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
509 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
510 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
511 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
513 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
515 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
516 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
519 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
520 as well as Makefiles.
522 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
524 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
525 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
526 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
527 should make maintainability easier.
529 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
530 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
531 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
532 whatever you know works.
534 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
536 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
537 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
538 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
540 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
541 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
542 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
543 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
545 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
546 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
547 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
549 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
550 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
551 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
552 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
553 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
555 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
556 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
557 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
558 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
559 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
560 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
561 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
562 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
563 from the BSD version.
565 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
566 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
567 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
569 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
572 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
575 This happens on solaris:
578 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
579 No manual entry for mts.conf.
583 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
585 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
586 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
588 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
590 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
591 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
592 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
593 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
594 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
595 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
596 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
597 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
598 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
599 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
600 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
602 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
603 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
604 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
605 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
606 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
607 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
610 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
611 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
612 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
613 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
614 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
616 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
617 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
619 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
621 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
622 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
623 to stdin, such as exmh.
625 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
626 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
627 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
630 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
632 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
633 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
634 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
635 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
636 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
637 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
638 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
640 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
642 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
643 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
645 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
647 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
648 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
650 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
652 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
655 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
656 along with any -host or -user option.
658 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
660 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
662 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
663 process was fresh in my mind.
665 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
667 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
668 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
670 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
672 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
674 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
677 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
678 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
679 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
680 part of the program's name.
682 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
683 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
686 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
688 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
689 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
690 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
691 single-character format would cause programs using this
692 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
693 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
694 when the format string was one character. This eventually
695 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
698 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
700 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
701 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
702 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
703 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
704 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
705 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
707 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
708 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
709 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
710 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
711 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
712 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
713 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
714 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
716 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
717 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
718 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
719 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
720 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
721 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
722 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
723 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
724 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
725 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
727 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
729 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
730 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
732 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
733 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
735 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
740 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
742 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
743 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
744 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
745 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
747 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
748 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
749 problem in the routine.
751 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
753 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
754 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
756 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
757 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
758 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
761 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
763 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
764 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
765 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
766 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
767 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
768 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
769 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
770 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
771 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
772 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
774 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
776 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
777 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
778 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
779 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
780 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
781 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
782 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
783 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
784 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
785 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
786 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
787 interesting than a duplication of the default.
789 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
790 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
791 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
792 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
793 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
795 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
798 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
800 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
801 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
802 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
803 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
806 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
808 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
810 * Applied, after some finessing,
811 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
813 Here's a patch that allows you to add
815 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
817 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
818 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
819 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
820 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
822 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
824 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
825 forgetting to do so!).
827 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
828 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
829 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
830 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
831 arguments to enable all three types.
833 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
834 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
836 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
837 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
838 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
839 updated copy of mts.conf.
841 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
843 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
844 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
845 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
847 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
849 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
851 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
852 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
853 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
855 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
856 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
857 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
859 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
860 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
861 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
863 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
865 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
867 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
869 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
871 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
872 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
874 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
875 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
876 certain suffix to run properly.
878 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
879 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
880 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
882 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
883 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
884 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
885 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
886 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
887 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
888 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
890 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
892 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
893 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
894 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
895 until some year far in the future).
897 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
899 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
901 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
902 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
904 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
905 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
908 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
910 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
911 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
912 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
913 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
914 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
915 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
917 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
919 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
921 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
922 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
923 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
925 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
926 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
927 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
928 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
929 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
930 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
933 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
934 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
935 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
936 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
937 of masquerading individually.
939 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
940 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
941 GECOS field delimiters.
943 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
945 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
946 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
947 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
948 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
949 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
950 and explaining the feature.
952 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
954 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
955 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
958 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
959 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
960 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
962 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
963 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
964 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
965 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
967 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
968 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
969 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
972 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
974 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
977 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
979 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
981 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
982 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
983 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
984 quotes embedded in them.
986 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
988 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
989 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
990 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
991 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
992 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
993 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
994 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
997 The other theory is that because you can say something like
998 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
999 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1000 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1001 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1003 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1005 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1007 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1008 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1009 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1010 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1012 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1015 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1017 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1019 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1021 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1022 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1023 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1025 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1028 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1030 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1031 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1032 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1033 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1034 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1035 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1037 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1038 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1040 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1042 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1045 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1047 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1048 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1049 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1052 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1053 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1054 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1055 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1056 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1057 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1058 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1059 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1060 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1061 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1062 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1063 processing that post has).
1065 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1067 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1068 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1069 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1070 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1071 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1072 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1075 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1077 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1079 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1081 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1083 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1084 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1086 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1089 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1091 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1092 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1093 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1096 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1098 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1099 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1100 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1101 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1102 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1103 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1105 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1107 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1109 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1111 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1112 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1113 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1114 caught again. This works for now.
1116 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1118 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1120 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1121 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1123 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1125 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1126 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1128 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1130 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1132 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1134 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1135 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1137 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1139 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1140 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1141 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1142 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1143 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1146 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1148 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1149 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1150 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1152 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1153 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1156 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1158 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1159 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1160 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1162 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1164 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1165 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1167 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1169 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1172 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1173 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1175 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1176 macros, regardless of platform.
1178 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1179 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1181 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1182 with x-conversions=gzip.
1184 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1186 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1189 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1190 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1191 implicit definition of ioctl().
1193 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1194 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1195 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1196 want to mess with them.
1198 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1200 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1201 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1203 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1204 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1206 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1207 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1208 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1210 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1211 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1212 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1214 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1215 function initgroups.
1217 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1220 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1221 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1224 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1225 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1228 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1229 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1233 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1235 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1236 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1237 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1239 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1240 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1242 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1244 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1246 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1247 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1248 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1249 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1251 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1252 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1254 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1256 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1258 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1261 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1263 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1265 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1266 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1268 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1269 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1270 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1271 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1273 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1274 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1276 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1278 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1279 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1281 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1283 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1284 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1287 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1289 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1291 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1293 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1294 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1296 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1297 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1298 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1300 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1301 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1302 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1304 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1305 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1306 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1308 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1309 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1312 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1313 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1315 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1316 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1318 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1319 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1321 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1322 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1323 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1325 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1326 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1328 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1329 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1330 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1332 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1333 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1336 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1337 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1339 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1340 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1341 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1342 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1344 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1345 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1347 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1351 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1352 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1353 would not be changed.
1355 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1356 one from the Apache web server.
1358 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1359 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1361 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1362 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1363 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1365 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1367 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1369 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1370 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1373 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1374 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1375 removes a bad race condition.
1377 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1380 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1381 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1382 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1384 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1385 sequence information.
1387 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1388 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1390 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1393 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1396 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1398 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1399 interpret 034 as octal.
1401 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1403 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1404 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1406 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1407 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1409 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1410 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1412 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1413 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1415 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1416 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1418 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1419 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1420 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1422 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1423 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1424 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1426 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1428 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1430 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1431 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1434 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1436 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1437 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1439 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1440 header field information.
1442 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1443 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1445 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1446 values when parsing a content.
1448 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1449 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1451 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1452 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1454 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1455 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1457 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1458 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1460 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1462 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1464 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1466 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1468 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1469 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1472 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1473 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1475 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1476 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1477 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1478 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1479 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1480 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1483 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1485 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1486 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1487 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1489 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1490 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1492 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1494 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1495 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1496 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1497 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1499 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1500 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1503 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1504 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1505 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1506 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1509 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1511 * Released nmh-0.27.
1513 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1514 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1516 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1517 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1518 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1519 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1522 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1523 mhbuild returns an error.
1525 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1526 rename the draft file.
1528 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1529 use a global variable.
1531 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1532 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1534 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1535 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1537 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1538 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1539 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1541 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1542 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1544 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1545 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1548 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1549 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1552 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1553 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1555 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1556 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1557 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1559 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1560 to new function output_content_folder.
1562 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1563 new function output_content_file.
1565 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1566 to new function parse_format_string.
1568 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1569 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1570 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1571 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1573 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1574 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1575 message/external file from ftp.
1577 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1578 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1579 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1581 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1582 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1585 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1588 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1589 new file mhstoresbr.c
1591 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1594 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1595 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1597 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1598 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1600 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1601 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1602 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1604 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1606 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1608 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1609 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1612 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1613 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1615 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1618 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1620 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1622 * Released nmh-0.26.
1624 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1625 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1626 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1627 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1629 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1630 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1631 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1632 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1633 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1635 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1636 But it is not on by default.
1638 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1639 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1641 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1643 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1645 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1647 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1649 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1650 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1652 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1654 * Released nmh-0.25.
1656 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1657 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1658 uses the original name of the library.
1660 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1661 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1664 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1665 list_content and list_debug.
1667 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1669 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1670 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.

1674 * Released nmh-0.24.
1676 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1678 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1679 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1681 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1682 large sequence line.
1684 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1686 * Released nmh-0.23.
1688 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1690 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1691 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1692 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1693 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1695 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1696 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1699 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1701 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1703 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1705 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1706 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1708 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1709 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1711 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1712 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1714 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1715 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1717 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1719 * Released nmh-0.22.
1721 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1722 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1724 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1726 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1727 mh-profile(5) man page.
1729 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1730 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1732 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1734 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1736 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1737 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1739 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1741 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1742 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1743 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1745 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1746 source message on the standard input.
1748 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1750 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1751 rather than -rfc934mode.
1753 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1754 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1757 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1758 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1760 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1763 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1765 * Released nmh-0.21.
1767 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1768 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1770 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1773 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1774 to use for text contents.
1776 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1778 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1780 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1782 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1784 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1785 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1787 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1788 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1789 spaces between encoded word are.
1791 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1793 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1794 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1796 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1797 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1798 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1800 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1802 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1803 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1805 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1807 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1809 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1810 ISO-8859-X character set.
1812 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1815 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1816 permissions, not write permissions.
1818 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1819 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1821 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1824 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1826 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1828 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1829 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1831 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1832 message contains valid character set.
1834 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1835 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1837 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1838 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1840 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1841 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1842 between an encoded word and normal text.
1844 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1845 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1847 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1848 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1850 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1853 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1854 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1857 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1858 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1860 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1861 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1863 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1865 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1867 * Released nmh-0.20.
1869 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1871 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1873 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1874 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1875 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1877 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1878 and the To: line was missing.
1880 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1882 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1884 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1886 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1887 watch the POP transaction.
1889 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1890 first, and use it if available.
1892 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1893 first, and use it if available.
1895 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1897 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1899 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1900 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1901 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1904 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1905 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1906 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1908 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1909 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1912 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1914 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1915 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1917 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1919 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1920 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1922 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1923 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1924 message to which you are replying.
1926 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1927 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1928 making group replies.
1930 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1932 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1934 * Released nmh-0.19.
1936 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1937 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1939 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1940 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1941 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1942 to the end of the man page.
1944 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1945 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1946 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1947 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1948 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1949 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1951 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1954 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1955 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1956 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1958 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1959 the next available number above the message number you wish
1962 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1963 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1965 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1966 file sbr/seq_print.c
1968 * flist will now update the current folder.
1970 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1971 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1972 but now undocumented.
1974 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1977 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1978 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1980 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1982 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1983 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1985 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1987 * Released nmh-0.18.
1989 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1990 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1991 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1993 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1994 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1996 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1997 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1998 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1999 previous public/private status.
2001 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2004 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2007 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2008 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2009 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2011 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2012 take option to determine whether it should get current
2013 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2014 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2016 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2018 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2019 wait for stopped processes.
2021 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2022 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2024 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2026 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2028 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2029 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2031 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2032 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2034 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2035 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2036 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2037 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2039 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2042 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2045 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2047 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2048 the debugging output.
2050 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2051 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2053 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2055 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2057 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2058 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2060 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2062 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2063 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2064 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2065 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2066 in the given sequence.
2068 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2069 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2070 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2071 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2072 subdirectories of a given directory.
2074 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2075 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2076 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2078 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2079 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2081 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2083 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2086 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2087 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2088 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2090 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2091 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2092 are calculated at runtime.
2094 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2096 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2098 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2099 about checking for global mh.profile.
2101 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2102 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2103 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2104 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2105 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2106 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2108 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2109 adding message to folder itself.
2111 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2112 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2113 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2116 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2117 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2120 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2121 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2122 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2124 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2125 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2127 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2128 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2129 code to use it yet).
2131 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2133 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2135 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2136 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2138 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2139 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2141 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2143 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2146 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2148 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2150 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2152 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2154 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2155 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2157 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2159 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2161 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2163 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2165 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2167 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2168 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2170 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2171 configuration files.
2173 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2175 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2177 * Released nmh-0.17.
2179 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2181 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2182 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2184 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2187 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2188 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2190 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2191 number of refiled message.
2193 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2195 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2196 for return value of wait().
2198 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2200 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2202 * Released nmh-0.16.
2204 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2206 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2208 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2209 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2210 deal with binary messages, yet).
2212 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2214 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2216 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2217 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2218 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2219 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2220 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2221 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2223 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2224 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2226 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2227 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2229 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2230 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2233 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2235 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2237 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2238 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2241 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2244 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2246 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2247 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2248 which used unsigned chars by default.
2250 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2252 * Released nmh-0.15.
2254 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2255 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2257 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2259 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2261 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2264 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2265 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2266 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2268 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2269 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2271 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2273 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2274 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2276 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2277 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2278 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2279 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2281 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2282 and put in own subroutine.
2284 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2285 and put in own subroutine.
2287 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2288 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2289 refile.c to use new routine.
2291 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2293 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2295 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2298 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2299 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2300 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2302 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is

2418 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2420 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2437 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2439 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2440 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2442 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2505 * Released nmh-0.08.
2507 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2508 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

2516 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2519 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2520 rather than mmdf format.
2522 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2523 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2524 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2525 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2527 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2529 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2531 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2534 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2535 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2536 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2538 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2539 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2542 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2544 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2545 can still easily change this in config.h).
2547 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2548 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2549 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2551 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2553 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2568 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2570 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2571 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2574 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2575 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2588 * Released nmh-0.06.
2590 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2591 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2593 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2594 many such machines around anymore.
2596 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2597 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2599 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2600 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2602 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2604 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2605 pre-generated version if necessary.
2607 * Released nmh-0.05.
2609 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2610 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2611 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2612 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2614 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2615 be linked in one pass.
2617 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2619 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2620 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2622 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2624 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2626 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2628 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2629 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2630 become the current folder.
2632 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2634 * Released nmh-0.04.

2639 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2641 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2642 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2643 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2645 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2647 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2648 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2650 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2652 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2653 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2656 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2657 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2659 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2661 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2662 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2663 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2664 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2665 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2666 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2668 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2670 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2671 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2673 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2674 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2676 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2678 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2679 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2681 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2683 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2684 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2685 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2687 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2689 * Released nmh-0.03.
2691 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2692 .mh_sequence file existed.
2694 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2695 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2697 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2698 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2701 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2706 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2709 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2710 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2712 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2714 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2715 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2716 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2718 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2720 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2721 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2723 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2725 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2727 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2728 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2729 directory from where the source code is located.
2731 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2733 * Released nmh-0.02.

2753 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2754 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2755 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2756 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2757 rather than in script.
2759 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2761 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2763 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2768 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2769 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2771 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2772 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2773 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2774 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2777 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2779 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2780 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2782 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2785 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2787 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2789 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

2792 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2794 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2795 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2797 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2799 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2800 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2801 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2802 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2803 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2804 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2806 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2808 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2810 * Released nmh-0.01.
2812 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2813 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2814 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2817 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2819 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2822 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2824 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2825 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2827 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2829 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2830 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2831 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2832 script to find_program.
2834 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2836 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2837 speed up -recurse option.
2839 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2840 yet, but it compiles :-)
2842 * Changed default location for install to
2843 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2844 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2845 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2848 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2849 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2850 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
