1 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
5 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
8 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
10 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
12 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
14 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
15 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
16 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
17 obsolete feature of autoconf
19 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
21 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
22 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
23 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
25 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
27 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
28 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
30 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
32 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
35 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
37 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
38 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
39 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
40 following done() (should never be reached).
42 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
44 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
45 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
47 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
49 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
50 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
52 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
54 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
55 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
56 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
57 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
58 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
59 acconfig.h if you must.
61 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
63 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
64 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
65 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
66 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
68 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
70 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
73 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
75 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
76 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
77 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
78 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
79 have Content-Disposition.
81 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
83 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
86 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
88 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
89 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
91 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
93 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
94 encoded block is empty
96 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
98 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
99 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
100 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
103 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
105 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
106 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
109 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
111 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
112 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
113 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
114 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
117 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
118 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
120 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
122 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
123 function num_digits into utils.c
125 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
127 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
128 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
129 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
131 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
133 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
134 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
135 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
136 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
137 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
138 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
139 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
140 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
142 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
144 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
145 Content-Disposition header.
147 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
149 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
150 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
151 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
152 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
153 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
154 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
155 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
156 users to easily accomodate that by adding
157 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
159 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
161 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
162 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
164 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
166 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
168 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
169 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
171 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
172 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
174 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
176 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
177 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
178 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
179 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
180 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
183 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
185 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
186 widths, restoring right justification feature
188 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
190 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
191 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
192 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
194 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
197 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
199 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
200 handling multi column characters.
202 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
204 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
206 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
208 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
209 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
212 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
214 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
216 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
218 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
221 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
223 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
226 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
228 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
229 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
230 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
231 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
233 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
235 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
236 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
237 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
238 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
239 where configure's autodetection fails.
241 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
243 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
244 configure script change.
246 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
248 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
249 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
250 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
253 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
255 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
256 the context is only read once.
258 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
260 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
261 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
263 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
265 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
266 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
268 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
269 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
272 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
273 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
276 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
278 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
279 vi isn't found during build.
281 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
283 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
284 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
286 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
287 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
288 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
290 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
292 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
293 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
295 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
296 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
297 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
298 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
301 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
302 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
303 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
305 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
306 entry in the context file.
308 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
310 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
311 problems on some systems
313 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
314 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
316 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
318 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
319 sendmail isn't found during build.
321 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
323 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
325 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
327 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
328 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
330 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
331 references to the web page and mailing list locations
333 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
334 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
336 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
339 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
341 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
342 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
343 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
345 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
346 was configured with --enable-apop.
348 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
349 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
350 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
352 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
353 new versions of flex.
355 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
356 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
357 doesn't guess wrongly.
359 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
361 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
362 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
364 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
365 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
367 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
368 files with numbers as names
370 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
372 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
374 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
376 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
378 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
379 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
381 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
383 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
386 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
387 test/report error writing to stdout
389 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
391 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
393 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
394 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
395 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
397 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
398 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
399 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
401 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
403 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
404 character set used by the current locale
406 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
407 message's filename overflows an int when converted
409 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
410 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
412 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
414 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
417 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
419 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
420 from Michael Richardson.
422 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
423 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
425 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
427 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
428 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
430 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
432 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
433 find sub-parts of the specified part
435 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
437 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
438 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
439 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
440 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
441 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
442 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
443 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
446 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
448 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
449 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
450 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
453 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
454 refiling with -src option.
456 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
458 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
460 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
462 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
463 mailpath being overwritten.
465 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
467 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
468 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
469 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
470 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
471 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
472 reinitializes the tmp file string.
474 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
475 if a format string was read from the profile.
477 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
478 path for the external hook.
480 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
482 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
483 another location for ndbm.
485 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
487 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
489 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
491 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
494 136976 - Handle binary content messages
495 143427 - mh-format.man typo
496 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
497 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
498 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
499 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
500 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
501 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
502 181867 - typo for nmh.man
504 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
506 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
507 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
508 contitional code which will result in cached data to
509 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
510 and parse on the first use.
511 * Remove some unused flag bits.
513 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
515 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
516 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
518 #578 - repl leaks umask
519 #1393 - sortm core dumps
520 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
521 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
522 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
524 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
525 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
527 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
529 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
530 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
532 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
534 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
535 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
536 to docs/README.about.
538 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
540 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
542 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
543 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
544 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
545 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
548 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
550 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
551 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
552 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
553 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
554 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
555 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
558 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
559 summary configure prints out.
561 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
562 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
563 subjectively more readable) format.
565 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
567 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
570 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
572 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
573 19xx when it's not necessary.
575 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
577 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
578 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
581 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
582 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
583 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
584 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
585 the man pages correctly.
587 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
589 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
591 * Finished manpages ali-prev
593 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
594 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
595 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
598 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
599 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
600 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
601 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
603 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
605 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
606 the formatting rules I've been using.
610 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
612 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
613 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
614 used in the manpages.
616 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
617 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
618 read in the contents of the file as the variable
621 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
622 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
623 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
624 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
625 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
626 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
627 bold flags and italicized parameters.
629 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
631 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
632 --with-locking option.
634 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
635 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
636 information was not being communicated to the
637 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
638 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
639 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
640 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
641 undefined symbols problems.
643 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
644 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
645 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
646 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
647 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
648 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
649 for a genuine krb4 installation.
651 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
653 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
654 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
656 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
658 * Made a new ./configure option called
659 "--with-locking" that allows the file
660 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
661 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
663 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
664 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
665 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
666 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
667 the user that these are the valid options, and
668 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
671 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
673 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
674 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
675 committed to supporting flex only, since
676 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
677 string, as well as other problems documented
678 below and on nmh-workers.
680 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
681 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
682 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
685 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
686 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
688 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
690 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
691 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
692 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
694 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
696 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
697 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
699 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
701 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
702 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
703 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
704 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
705 couldn't correctly identify them.
707 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
709 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
710 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
711 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
712 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
713 not depending on an external archive.
715 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
716 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
717 mts/generic is no longer built.
719 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
721 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
722 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
723 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
724 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
725 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
726 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
727 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
728 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
730 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
732 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
733 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
736 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
738 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
739 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
740 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
743 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
744 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
745 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
746 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
748 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
749 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
750 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
751 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
752 merged into the smtp code).
754 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
755 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
756 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
759 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
760 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
761 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
762 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
763 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
764 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
765 in the appropriate Makefile.in
767 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
769 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
770 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
771 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
772 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
773 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
774 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
775 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
776 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
777 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
778 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
779 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
781 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
783 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
784 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
785 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
786 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
787 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
788 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
789 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
790 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
791 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
793 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
795 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
796 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
799 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
801 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
802 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
804 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
806 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
807 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
808 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
809 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
811 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
813 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
814 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
815 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
816 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
817 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
819 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
820 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
822 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
824 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
826 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
827 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
828 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
829 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
831 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
832 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
833 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
834 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
836 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
837 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
838 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
839 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
841 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
842 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
843 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
845 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
847 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
848 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
849 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
850 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
851 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
852 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
855 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
856 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
858 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
859 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
861 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
863 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
865 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
867 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
868 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
869 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
870 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
872 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
874 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
875 be easily changed from "," to "#".
877 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
879 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
881 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
882 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
885 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
887 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
888 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
889 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
890 but not for the subsequent data stream.
892 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
894 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
895 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
896 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
897 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
898 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
900 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
902 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
903 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
905 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
906 cat, also define lorder as echo.
908 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
910 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
912 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
913 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
914 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
916 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
918 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
921 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
922 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
924 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
926 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
927 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
929 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
931 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
932 inc does not need to be setgid.
934 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
936 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
937 library, as found on Debian systems.
939 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
941 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
943 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
944 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
945 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
946 case-insensitivity flag.
948 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
950 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
951 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
953 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
955 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
956 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
957 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
958 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
959 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
960 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
961 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
962 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
963 getting moved aside).
965 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
966 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
968 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
970 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
971 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
972 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
973 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
974 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
975 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
976 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
977 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
978 the prototype, but never sets it.
980 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
981 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
982 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
983 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
984 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
985 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
987 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
988 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
989 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
990 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
991 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
993 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
995 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
996 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
999 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1000 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1001 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1002 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1003 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1004 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1005 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1007 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1009 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1011 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1012 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1013 this works on other systems.
1015 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1017 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1018 checks for write failures.
1020 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1022 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1024 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1027 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1029 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1031 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1033 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1034 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1037 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1039 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1040 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1041 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1042 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1044 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1046 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1047 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1050 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1051 as well as Makefiles.
1053 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1055 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1056 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1057 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1058 should make maintainability easier.
1060 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1061 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1062 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1063 whatever you know works.
1065 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1067 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1068 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1069 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1071 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1072 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1073 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1074 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1076 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1077 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1078 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1080 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1081 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1082 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1083 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1084 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1086 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1087 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1088 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1089 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1090 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1091 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1092 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1093 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1094 from the BSD version.
1096 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1097 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1098 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1100 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1101 in ruserpass.c also.
1103 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1106 This happens on solaris:
1109 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1110 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1114 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1116 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1117 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1119 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1121 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1122 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1123 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1124 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1125 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1126 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1127 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1128 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1129 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1130 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1131 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1133 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1134 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1135 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1136 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1137 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1138 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1141 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1142 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1143 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1144 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1145 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1147 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1148 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1150 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1152 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1153 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1154 to stdin, such as exmh.
1156 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1157 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1158 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1161 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1163 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1164 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1165 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1166 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1167 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1168 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1169 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1171 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1173 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1174 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1176 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1178 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1179 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1181 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1183 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1186 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1187 along with any -host or -user option.
1189 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1191 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1193 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1194 process was fresh in my mind.
1196 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1198 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1199 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1201 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1203 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1205 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1208 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1209 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1210 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1211 part of the program's name.
1213 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1214 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1217 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1219 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1220 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1221 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1222 single-character format would cause programs using this
1223 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1224 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1225 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1226 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1229 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1231 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1232 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1233 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1234 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1235 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1236 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1238 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1239 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1240 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1241 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1242 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1243 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1244 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1245 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1247 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1248 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1249 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1250 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1251 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1252 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1253 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1254 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1255 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1256 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1258 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1261 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1263 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1264 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1266 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1271 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1273 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1274 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1275 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1276 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1278 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1279 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1280 problem in the routine.
1282 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1284 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1285 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1287 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1288 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1289 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1292 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1294 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1295 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1296 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1297 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1298 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1299 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1300 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1301 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1302 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1303 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1305 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1307 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1308 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1309 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1310 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1311 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1312 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1313 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1314 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1315 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1316 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1317 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1318 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1320 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1321 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1322 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1323 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1324 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1326 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1329 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1331 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1332 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1333 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1334 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1337 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1339 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1341 * Applied, after some finessing,
1342 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1344 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1346 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1348 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1349 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1350 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1351 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1353 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1355 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1356 forgetting to do so!).
1358 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1359 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1360 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1361 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1362 arguments to enable all three types.
1364 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1365 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1367 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1368 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1369 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1370 updated copy of mts.conf.
1372 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1374 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1375 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1376 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1378 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1380 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1382 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1383 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1384 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1386 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1387 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1388 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1390 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1391 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1392 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1394 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1396 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1398 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1400 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1402 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1403 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1405 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1406 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1407 certain suffix to run properly.
1409 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1410 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1411 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1413 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1414 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1415 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1416 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1417 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1418 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1419 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1421 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1423 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1424 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1425 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1426 until some year far in the future).
1428 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1430 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1432 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1433 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1435 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1436 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1439 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1441 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1442 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1443 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1444 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1445 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1446 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1448 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1450 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1452 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1453 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1454 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1456 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1457 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1458 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1459 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1460 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1461 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1464 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1465 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1466 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1467 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1468 of masquerading individually.
1470 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1471 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1472 GECOS field delimiters.
1474 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1476 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1477 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1478 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1479 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1480 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1481 and explaining the feature.
1483 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1485 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1486 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1489 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1490 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1491 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1493 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1494 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1495 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1496 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1498 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1499 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1500 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1503 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1505 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1506 code to be executed.
1508 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1510 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1512 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1513 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1514 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1515 quotes embedded in them.
1517 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1519 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1520 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1521 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1522 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1523 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1524 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1525 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1528 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1529 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1530 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1531 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1532 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1534 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1536 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1538 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1539 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1540 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1541 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1543 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1546 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1548 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1550 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1552 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1553 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1554 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1556 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1559 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1561 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1562 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1563 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1564 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1565 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1566 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1568 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1569 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1571 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1573 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1576 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1578 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1579 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1580 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1583 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1584 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1585 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1586 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1587 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1588 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1589 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1590 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1591 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1592 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1593 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1594 processing that post has).
1596 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1598 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1599 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1600 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1601 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1602 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1603 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1606 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1608 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1610 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1612 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1614 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1615 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1617 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1620 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1622 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1623 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1624 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1627 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1629 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1630 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1631 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1632 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1633 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1634 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1636 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1638 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1640 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1642 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1643 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1644 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1645 caught again. This works for now.
1647 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1649 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1651 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1652 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1654 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1656 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1657 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1659 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1661 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1663 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1665 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1666 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1668 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1670 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1671 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1672 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1673 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1674 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1677 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1679 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1680 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1681 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1683 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1684 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1687 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1689 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1690 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1691 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1693 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1695 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1696 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1698 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1700 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1703 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1704 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1706 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1707 macros, regardless of platform.
1709 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1710 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1712 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1713 with x-conversions=gzip.
1715 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1717 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1720 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1721 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1722 implicit definition of ioctl().
1724 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1725 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1726 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1727 want to mess with them.
1729 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1731 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1732 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1734 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1735 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1737 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1738 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1739 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1741 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1742 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1743 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1745 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1746 function initgroups.
1748 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1751 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1752 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1755 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1756 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1759 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1760 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1764 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1766 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1767 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1768 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1770 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1771 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1773 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1775 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1777 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1778 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1779 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1780 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1782 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1783 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1785 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1787 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1789 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1791 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1792 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1794 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1796 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1797 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1799 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1800 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1801 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1802 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1804 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1805 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1807 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1809 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1810 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1812 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1814 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1815 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1818 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1820 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1822 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1824 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1825 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1827 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1828 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1829 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1831 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1832 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1833 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1835 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1836 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1837 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1839 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1840 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1843 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1844 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1846 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1847 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1849 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1850 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1852 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1853 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1854 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1856 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1857 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1859 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1860 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1861 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1863 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1864 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1867 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1868 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1870 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1871 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1872 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1873 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1875 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1876 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1878 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1882 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1883 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1884 would not be changed.
1886 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1887 one from the Apache web server.
1889 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1890 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1892 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1893 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1894 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1896 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1898 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1900 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1901 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1904 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1905 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1906 removes a bad race condition.
1908 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1911 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1912 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1913 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1915 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1916 sequence information.
1918 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1919 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1921 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1924 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1927 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1929 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1930 interpret 034 as octal.
1932 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1934 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1935 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1937 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1938 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1940 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1941 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1943 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1944 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1946 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1947 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1949 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1950 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1951 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1953 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1954 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1955 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1957 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1959 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1961 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1962 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1965 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1967 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1968 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1970 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1971 header field information.
1973 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1974 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1976 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1977 values when parsing a content.
1979 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1980 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1982 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1983 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1985 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1986 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1988 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1989 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1991 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1993 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1995 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1997 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1999 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2000 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2003 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2004 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2006 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2007 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2008 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2009 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2010 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2011 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2014 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2016 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2017 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2018 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2020 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2021 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2023 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2025 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2026 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2027 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2028 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2030 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2031 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2034 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2035 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2036 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2037 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2040 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2042 * Released nmh-0.27.
2044 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2045 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2047 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2048 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2049 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2050 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2053 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2054 mhbuild returns an error.
2056 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2057 rename the draft file.
2059 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2060 use a global variable.
2062 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2063 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2065 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2066 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2068 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2069 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2070 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2072 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2073 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2075 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2076 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2079 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2080 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2083 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2084 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2086 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2087 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2088 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2090 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2091 to new function output_content_folder.
2093 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2094 new function output_content_file.
2096 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2097 to new function parse_format_string.
2099 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2100 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2101 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2102 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2104 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2105 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2106 message/external file from ftp.
2108 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2109 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2110 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2112 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2113 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2116 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2119 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2120 new file mhstoresbr.c
2122 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2125 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2126 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2128 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2129 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2131 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2132 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2133 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2135 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2137 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2139 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2140 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2143 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2144 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2146 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2149 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2151 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2153 * Released nmh-0.26.
2155 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2156 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2157 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2158 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2160 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2161 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2162 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2163 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2164 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2166 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2167 But it is not on by default.
2169 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2170 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2172 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2174 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2176 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2178 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2180 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2181 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2183 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2185 * Released nmh-0.25.
2187 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2188 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2189 uses the original name of the library.
2191 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2192 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2195 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2196 list_content and list_debug.
2198 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2200 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2201 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.

2205 * Released nmh-0.24.
2207 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2209 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2210 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2212 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2213 large sequence line.
2215 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2217 * Released nmh-0.23.
2219 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2221 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2222 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2223 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2224 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2226 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2227 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2230 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2232 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2234 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2236 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2237 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2239 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2240 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2242 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2243 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2245 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2246 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2248 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2250 * Released nmh-0.22.
2252 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2253 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2255 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2257 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2258 mh-profile(5) man page.
2260 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2261 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2263 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2267 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2268 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2270 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2272 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2273 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2274 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2276 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2277 source message on the standard input.
2279 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2281 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2282 rather than -rfc934mode.
2284 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2285 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2288 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2289 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2291 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2294 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2296 * Released nmh-0.21.
2298 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2299 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2301 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2304 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2305 to use for text contents.
2307 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2309 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2313 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2315 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2316 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2318 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2319 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2320 spaces between encoded word are.
2322 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2324 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2325 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2327 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2328 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2329 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2331 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2333 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2334 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2336 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2338 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2340 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2341 ISO-8859-X character set.
2343 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2346 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2347 permissions, not write permissions.
2349 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2350 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2352 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2355 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2357 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2359 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2360 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2362 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2363 message contains valid character set.
2365 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2366 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2368 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2369 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2371 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2372 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2373 between an encoded word and normal text.
2375 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2376 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2378 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2379 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2381 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2384 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2385 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2388 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2389 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2391 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2392 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2394 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2396 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2398 * Released nmh-0.20.
2400 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2402 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2404 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2405 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2406 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2408 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2409 and the To: line was missing.
2411 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2413 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2415 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2417 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2418 watch the POP transaction.
2420 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2421 first, and use it if available.
2423 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2424 first, and use it if available.
2426 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2428 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2430 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2431 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2432 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2435 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2436 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2437 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2439 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2440 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2443 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2445 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2446 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2448 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2450 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2451 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2453 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2454 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2455 message to which you are replying.
2457 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2458 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2459 making group replies.
2461 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2463 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2465 * Released nmh-0.19.
2467 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2468 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2470 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2471 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2472 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2473 to the end of the man page.
2475 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2476 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2477 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2478 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2479 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2480 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2482 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2485 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2486 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2487 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2489 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2490 the next available number above the message number you wish
2493 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2494 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2496 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2497 file sbr/seq_print.c
2499 * flist will now update the current folder.
2501 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2502 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2503 but now undocumented.
2505 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2508 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2509 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2511 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2513 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2514 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2516 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2518 * Released nmh-0.18.
2520 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2521 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2522 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2524 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2525 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2527 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2528 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2529 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2530 previous public/private status.
2532 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2535 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2538 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2539 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2540 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2542 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2543 take option to determine whether it should get current
2544 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2545 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2547 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2549 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2550 wait for stopped processes.
2552 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2553 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2555 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2557 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2559 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2560 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2562 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2563 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2565 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2566 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2567 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2568 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2570 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2573 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2576 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2578 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2579 the debugging output.
2581 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2582 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2584 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2586 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2588 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2589 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2591 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2593 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2594 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2595 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2596 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2597 in the given sequence.
2599 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2600 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2601 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2602 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2603 subdirectories of a given directory.
2605 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2606 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2607 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2609 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2610 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2612 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2614 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2617 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2618 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2619 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2621 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2622 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2623 are calculated at runtime.
2625 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2627 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2629 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2630 about checking for global mh.profile.
2632 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2633 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2634 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2635 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2636 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2637 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2639 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2640 adding message to folder itself.
2642 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2643 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2644 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2647 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2648 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2651 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2652 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2653 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2655 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2656 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2658 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2659 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2660 code to use it yet).
2662 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2664 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2666 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2667 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2669 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2670 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2672 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2674 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2677 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2679 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2681 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2683 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2685 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2686 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2688 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2690 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2692 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2694 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2696 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2698 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2699 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2701 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2702 configuration files.
2704 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2706 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * Released nmh-0.17.
2710 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2712 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2713 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2715 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2718 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2719 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2721 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2722 number of refiled message.
2724 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2726 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2727 for return value of wait().
2729 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2731 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2733 * Released nmh-0.16.
2735 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2739 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2740 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2741 deal with binary messages, yet).
2743 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2745 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2747 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2748 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2749 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2750 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2751 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2752 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2754 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2755 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2757 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2758 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2760 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2761 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2764 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2766 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2768 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2769 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2772 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2775 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2777 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2778 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2779 which used unsigned chars by default.
2781 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Released nmh-0.15.
2785 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2786 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2788 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2790 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2792 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2795 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2796 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2797 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2799 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2800 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2802 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2804 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2805 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2807 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2808 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2809 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2810 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2812 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2813 and put in own subroutine.
2815 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2816 and put in own subroutine.
2818 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2819 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2820 refile.c to use new routine.

2968 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2970 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2971 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2973 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

3050 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3051 rather than mmdf format.
3053 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3054 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3055 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3056 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.

3065 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3066 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3067 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3069 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3070 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

3073 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3075 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3076 can still easily change this in config.h).
3078 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3079 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3080 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3082 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3099 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3101 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3102 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3105 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3106 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3119 * Released nmh-0.06.
3121 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3122 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3124 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3125 many such machines around anymore.
3127 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3128 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3130 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3131 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3133 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3135 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3136 pre-generated version if necessary.
3138 * Released nmh-0.05.
3140 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3141 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3142 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3143 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3145 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3146 be linked in one pass.
3148 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3150 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3151 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3153 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3155 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3157 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3159 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3160 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3161 become the current folder.
3163 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3165 * Released nmh-0.04.

3170 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3172 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3173 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3174 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3176 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3178 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3179 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3181 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3183 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3184 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3187 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3188 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3190 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3192 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3193 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3194 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3195 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3196 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3197 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3199 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3201 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3202 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3204 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3205 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3207 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3209 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3210 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3212 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3214 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3215 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3216 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3218 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * Released nmh-0.03.
3222 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3223 .mh_sequence file existed.
3225 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3226 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3228 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3229 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3232 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3234 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3237 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3239 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3240 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3241 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3243 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3245 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3246 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3247 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3249 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3251 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3252 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3254 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3256 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3258 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3259 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3260 directory from where the source code is located.
3262 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3264 * Released nmh-0.02.

3284 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3285 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3286 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3287 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3288 rather than in script.
3290 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3292 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3294 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3299 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3300 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3302 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3303 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3304 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3305 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3308 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3310 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3311 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3313 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3316 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3318 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3320 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3321 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3323 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3325 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3326 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3328 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3330 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3331 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3332 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3333 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3334 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3335 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3337 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3341 * Released nmh-0.01.
3343 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3344 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3345 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3348 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3350 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3353 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3355 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3356 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3358 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3360 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3361 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3362 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3363 script to find_program.
3365 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3367 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3368 speed up -recurse option.
3370 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3371 yet, but it compiles :-)
3373 * Changed default location for install to
3374 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3375 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3376 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3379 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3380 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3381 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
