3 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
4 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
5 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
6 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
7 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
8 acconfig.h if you must.
10 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
12 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
13 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
14 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
15 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
17 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
19 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
22 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
24 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
25 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
26 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
27 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
28 have Content-Disposition.
30 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
32 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
35 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
37 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
38 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
40 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
42 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
43 encoded block is empty
45 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
47 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
48 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
49 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
52 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
54 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
55 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
58 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
60 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
61 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
62 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
63 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
66 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
67 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
69 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
71 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
72 function num_digits into utils.c
74 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
76 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
77 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
78 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
80 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
82 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
83 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
84 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
85 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
86 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
87 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
88 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
89 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
91 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
93 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
94 Content-Disposition header.
96 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
98 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
99 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
100 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
101 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
102 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
103 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
104 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
105 users to easily accomodate that by adding
106 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
108 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
110 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
111 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
113 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
115 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
117 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
118 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
120 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
121 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
123 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
125 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
126 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
127 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
128 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
129 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
132 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
134 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
135 widths, restoring right justification feature
137 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
139 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
140 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
141 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
143 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
146 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
148 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
149 handling multi column characters.
151 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
153 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
155 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
157 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
158 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
161 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
163 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
165 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
167 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
170 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
172 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
175 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
177 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
178 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
179 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
180 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
182 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
184 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
185 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
186 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
187 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
188 where configure's autodetection fails.
190 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
192 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
193 configure script change.
195 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
197 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
198 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
199 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
202 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
204 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
205 the context is only read once.
207 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
209 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
210 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
212 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
214 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
215 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
217 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
218 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
221 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
222 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
225 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
227 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
228 vi isn't found during build.
230 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
232 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
233 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
235 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
236 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
237 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
239 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
241 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
242 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
244 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
245 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
246 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
247 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
250 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
251 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
252 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
254 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
255 entry in the context file.
257 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
259 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
260 problems on some systems
262 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
263 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
265 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
267 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
268 sendmail isn't found during build.
270 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
272 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
274 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
276 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
277 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
279 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
280 references to the web page and mailing list locations
282 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
283 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
285 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
288 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
290 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
291 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
292 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
294 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
295 was configured with --enable-apop.
297 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
298 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
299 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
301 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
302 new versions of flex.
304 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
305 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
306 doesn't guess wrongly.
308 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
310 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
311 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
313 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
314 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
316 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
317 files with numbers as names
319 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
321 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
323 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
325 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
327 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
328 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
330 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
332 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
335 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
336 test/report error writing to stdout
338 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
340 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
342 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
343 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
344 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
346 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
347 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
348 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
350 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
352 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
353 character set used by the current locale
355 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
356 message's filename overflows an int when converted
358 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
359 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
361 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
363 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
366 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
368 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
369 from Michael Richardson.
371 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
372 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
374 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
376 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
377 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
379 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
381 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
382 find sub-parts of the specified part
384 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
386 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
387 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
388 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
389 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
390 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
391 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
392 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
395 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
397 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
398 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
399 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
402 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
403 refiling with -src option.
405 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
407 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
409 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
411 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
412 mailpath being overwritten.
414 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
416 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
417 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
418 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
419 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
420 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
421 reinitializes the tmp file string.
423 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
424 if a format string was read from the profile.
426 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
427 path for the external hook.
429 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
431 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
432 another location for ndbm.
434 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
436 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
438 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
440 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
443 136976 - Handle binary content messages
444 143427 - mh-format.man typo
445 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
446 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
447 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
448 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
449 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
450 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
451 181867 - typo for nmh.man
453 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
455 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
456 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
457 contitional code which will result in cached data to
458 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
459 and parse on the first use.
460 * Remove some unused flag bits.
462 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
464 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
465 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
467 #578 - repl leaks umask
468 #1393 - sortm core dumps
469 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
470 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
471 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
473 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
474 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
476 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
478 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
479 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
481 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
483 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
484 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
485 to docs/README.about.
487 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
489 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
491 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
492 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
493 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
494 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
497 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
499 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
500 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
501 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
502 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
503 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
504 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
507 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
508 summary configure prints out.
510 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
511 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
512 subjectively more readable) format.
514 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
516 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
519 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
521 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
522 19xx when it's not necessary.
524 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
526 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
527 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
530 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
531 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
532 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
533 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
534 the man pages correctly.
536 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
538 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
540 * Finished manpages ali-prev
542 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
543 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
544 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
547 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
548 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
549 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
550 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
552 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
554 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
555 the formatting rules I've been using.
559 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
561 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
562 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
563 used in the manpages.
565 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
566 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
567 read in the contents of the file as the variable
570 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
571 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
572 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
573 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
574 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
575 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
576 bold flags and italicized parameters.
578 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
580 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
581 --with-locking option.
583 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
584 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
585 information was not being communicated to the
586 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
587 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
588 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
589 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
590 undefined symbols problems.
592 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
593 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
594 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
595 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
596 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
597 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
598 for a genuine krb4 installation.
600 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
602 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
603 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
605 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
607 * Made a new ./configure option called
608 "--with-locking" that allows the file
609 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
610 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
612 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
613 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
614 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
615 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
616 the user that these are the valid options, and
617 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
620 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
622 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
623 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
624 committed to supporting flex only, since
625 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
626 string, as well as other problems documented
627 below and on nmh-workers.
629 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
630 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
631 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
634 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
635 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
637 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
639 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
640 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
641 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
643 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
645 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
646 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
648 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
650 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
651 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
652 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
653 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
654 couldn't correctly identify them.
656 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
658 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
659 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
660 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
661 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
662 not depending on an external archive.
664 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
665 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
666 mts/generic is no longer built.
668 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
670 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
671 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
672 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
673 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
674 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
675 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
676 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
677 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
679 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
681 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
682 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
685 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
687 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
688 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
689 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
692 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
693 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
694 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
695 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
697 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
698 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
699 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
700 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
701 merged into the smtp code).
703 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
704 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
705 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
708 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
709 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
710 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
711 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
712 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
713 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
714 in the appropriate Makefile.in
716 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
718 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
719 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
720 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
721 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
722 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
723 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
724 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
725 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
726 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
727 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
728 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
730 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
732 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
733 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
734 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
735 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
736 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
737 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
738 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
739 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
740 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
742 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
744 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
745 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
748 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
750 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
751 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
753 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
755 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
756 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
757 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
758 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
760 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
762 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
763 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
764 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
765 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
766 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
768 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
769 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
771 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
773 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
775 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
776 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
777 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
778 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
780 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
781 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
782 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
783 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
785 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
786 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
787 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
788 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
790 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
791 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
792 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
794 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
796 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
797 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
798 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
799 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
800 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
801 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
804 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
805 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
807 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
808 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
810 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
812 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
814 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
816 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
817 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
818 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
819 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
821 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
823 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
824 be easily changed from "," to "#".
826 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
828 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
830 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
831 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
834 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
836 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
837 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
838 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
839 but not for the subsequent data stream.
841 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
843 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
844 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
845 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
846 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
847 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
849 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
851 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
852 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
854 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
855 cat, also define lorder as echo.
857 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
859 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
861 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
862 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
863 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
865 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
867 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
870 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
871 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
873 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
875 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
876 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
878 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
880 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
881 inc does not need to be setgid.
883 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
885 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
886 library, as found on Debian systems.
888 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
890 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
892 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
893 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
894 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
895 case-insensitivity flag.
897 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
899 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
900 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
902 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
904 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
905 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
906 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
907 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
908 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
909 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
910 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
911 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
912 getting moved aside).
914 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
915 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
917 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
919 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
920 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
921 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
922 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
923 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
924 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
925 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
926 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
927 the prototype, but never sets it.
929 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
930 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
931 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
932 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
933 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
934 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
936 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
937 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
938 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
939 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
940 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
942 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
944 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
945 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
948 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
949 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
950 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
951 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
952 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
953 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
954 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
956 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
958 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
960 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
961 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
962 this works on other systems.
964 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
966 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
967 checks for write failures.
969 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
971 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
973 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
976 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
978 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
980 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
982 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
983 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
986 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
988 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
989 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
990 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
991 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
993 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
995 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
996 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
999 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1000 as well as Makefiles.
1002 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1004 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1005 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1006 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1007 should make maintainability easier.
1009 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1010 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1011 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1012 whatever you know works.
1014 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1016 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1017 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1018 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1020 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1021 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1022 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1023 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1025 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1026 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1027 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1029 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1030 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1031 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1032 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1033 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1035 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1036 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1037 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1038 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1039 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1040 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1041 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1042 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1043 from the BSD version.
1045 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1046 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1047 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1049 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1050 in ruserpass.c also.
1052 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1055 This happens on solaris:
1058 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1059 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1063 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1065 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1066 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1068 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1070 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1071 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1072 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1073 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1074 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1075 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1076 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1077 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1078 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1079 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1080 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1082 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1083 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1084 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1085 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1086 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1087 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1090 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1091 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1092 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1093 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1094 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1096 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1097 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1099 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1101 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1102 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1103 to stdin, such as exmh.
1105 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1106 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1107 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1110 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1112 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1113 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1114 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1115 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1116 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1117 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1118 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1120 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1122 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1123 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1125 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1127 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1128 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1130 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1132 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1135 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1136 along with any -host or -user option.
1138 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1140 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1142 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1143 process was fresh in my mind.
1145 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1147 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1148 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1150 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1152 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1154 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1157 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1158 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1159 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1160 part of the program's name.
1162 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1163 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1166 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1168 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1169 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1170 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1171 single-character format would cause programs using this
1172 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1173 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1174 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1175 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1178 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1180 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1181 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1182 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1183 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1184 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1185 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1187 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1188 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1189 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1190 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1191 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1192 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1193 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1194 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1196 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1197 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1198 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1199 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1200 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1201 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1202 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1203 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1204 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1205 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1207 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1210 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1212 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1213 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1215 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1220 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1222 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1223 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1224 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1225 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1227 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1228 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1229 problem in the routine.
1231 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1233 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1234 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1236 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1237 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1238 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1241 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1243 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1244 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1245 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1246 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1247 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1248 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1249 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1250 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1251 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1252 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1254 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1256 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1257 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1258 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1259 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1260 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1261 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1262 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1263 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1264 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1265 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1266 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1267 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1269 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1270 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1271 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1272 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1273 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1275 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1278 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1280 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1281 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1282 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1283 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1286 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1288 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1290 * Applied, after some finessing,
1291 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1293 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1295 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1297 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1298 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1299 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1300 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1302 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1304 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1305 forgetting to do so!).
1307 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1308 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1309 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1310 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1311 arguments to enable all three types.
1313 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1314 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1316 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1317 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1318 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1319 updated copy of mts.conf.
1321 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1323 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1324 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1325 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1327 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1329 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1331 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1332 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1333 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1335 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1336 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1337 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1339 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1340 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1341 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1343 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1345 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1347 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1349 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1351 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1352 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1354 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1355 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1356 certain suffix to run properly.
1358 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1359 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1360 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1362 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1363 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1364 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1365 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1366 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1367 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1368 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1370 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1372 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1373 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1374 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1375 until some year far in the future).
1377 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1379 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1381 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1382 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1384 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1385 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1388 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1390 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1391 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1392 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1393 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1394 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1395 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1397 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1399 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1401 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1402 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1403 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1405 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1406 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1407 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1408 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1409 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1410 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1413 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1414 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1415 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1416 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1417 of masquerading individually.
1419 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1420 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1421 GECOS field delimiters.
1423 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1425 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1426 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1427 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1428 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1429 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1430 and explaining the feature.
1432 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1434 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1435 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1438 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1439 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1440 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1442 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1443 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1444 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1445 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1447 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1448 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1449 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1452 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1454 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1455 code to be executed.
1457 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1459 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1461 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1462 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1463 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1464 quotes embedded in them.
1466 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1468 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1469 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1470 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1471 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1472 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1473 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1474 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1477 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1478 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1479 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1480 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1481 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1483 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1485 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1487 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1488 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1489 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1490 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1492 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1495 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1497 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1499 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1501 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1502 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1503 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1505 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1508 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1510 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1511 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1512 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1513 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1514 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1515 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1517 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1518 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1520 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1522 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1525 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1527 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1528 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1529 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1532 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1533 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1534 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1535 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1536 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1537 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1538 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1539 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1540 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1541 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1542 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1543 processing that post has).
1545 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1547 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1548 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1549 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1550 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1551 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1552 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1555 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1557 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1559 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1561 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1563 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1564 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1566 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1569 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1571 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1572 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1573 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1576 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1578 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1579 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1580 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1581 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1582 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1583 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1585 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1587 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1589 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1591 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1592 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1593 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1594 caught again. This works for now.
1596 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1598 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1600 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1601 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1603 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1605 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1606 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1608 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1610 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1612 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1614 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1615 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1617 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1619 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1620 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1621 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1622 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1623 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1626 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1628 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1629 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1630 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1632 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1633 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1636 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1638 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1639 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1640 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1642 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1644 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1645 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1647 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1649 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1652 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1653 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1655 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1656 macros, regardless of platform.
1658 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1659 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1661 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1662 with x-conversions=gzip.
1664 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1666 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1669 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1670 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1671 implicit definition of ioctl().
1673 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1674 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1675 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1676 want to mess with them.
1678 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1680 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1681 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1683 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1684 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1686 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1687 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1688 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1690 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1691 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1692 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1694 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1695 function initgroups.
1697 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1700 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1701 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1704 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1705 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1708 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1709 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1713 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1715 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1716 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1717 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1719 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1720 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1722 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1724 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1726 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1727 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1728 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1729 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1731 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1732 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1734 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1736 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1738 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1740 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1741 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1743 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1745 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1746 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1748 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1749 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1750 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1751 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1753 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1754 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1756 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1758 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1759 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1761 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1763 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1764 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1767 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1769 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1771 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1773 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1774 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1776 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1777 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1778 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1780 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1781 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1782 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1784 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1785 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1786 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1788 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1789 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1792 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1793 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1795 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1796 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1798 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1799 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1801 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1802 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1803 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1805 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1806 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1808 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1809 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1810 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1812 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1813 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1816 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1817 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1819 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1820 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1821 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1822 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1824 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1825 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1827 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1831 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1832 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1833 would not be changed.
1835 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1836 one from the Apache web server.
1838 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1839 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1841 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1842 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1843 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1845 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1847 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1849 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1850 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1853 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1854 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1855 removes a bad race condition.
1857 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1860 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1861 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1862 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1864 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1865 sequence information.
1867 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1868 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1870 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1873 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1876 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1878 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1879 interpret 034 as octal.
1881 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1883 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1884 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1886 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1887 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1889 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1890 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1892 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1893 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1895 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1896 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1898 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1899 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1900 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1902 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1903 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1904 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1906 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1908 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1910 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1911 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1914 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1916 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1917 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1919 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1920 header field information.
1922 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1923 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1925 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1926 values when parsing a content.
1928 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1929 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1931 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1932 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1934 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1935 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1937 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1938 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1940 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1942 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1944 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1946 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1948 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1949 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1952 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1953 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1955 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1956 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1957 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1958 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1959 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1960 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1963 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1965 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1966 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1967 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1969 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1970 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1972 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1974 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1975 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1976 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1977 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1979 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1980 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1983 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1984 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1985 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1986 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1989 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1991 * Released nmh-0.27.
1993 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1994 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1996 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1997 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1998 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1999 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2002 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2003 mhbuild returns an error.
2005 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2006 rename the draft file.
2008 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2009 use a global variable.
2011 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2012 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2014 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2015 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2017 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2018 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2019 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2021 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2022 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2024 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2025 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2028 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2029 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2032 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2033 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2035 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2036 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2037 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2039 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2040 to new function output_content_folder.
2042 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2043 new function output_content_file.
2045 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2046 to new function parse_format_string.
2048 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2049 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2050 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2051 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2053 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2054 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2055 message/external file from ftp.
2057 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2058 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2059 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2061 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2062 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2065 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2068 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2069 new file mhstoresbr.c
2071 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2074 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2075 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2077 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2078 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2080 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2081 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2082 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2084 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2086 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2088 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2089 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2092 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2093 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2095 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2098 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2100 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2102 * Released nmh-0.26.
2104 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2105 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2106 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2107 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2109 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2110 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2111 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2112 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2113 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2115 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2116 But it is not on by default.
2118 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2119 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2121 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2123 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2125 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2127 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2129 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2130 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2132 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2134 * Released nmh-0.25.
2136 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2137 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2138 uses the original name of the library.
2140 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2141 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2144 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2145 list_content and list_debug.
2147 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2149 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2150 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2152 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2154 * Released nmh-0.24.
2156 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2158 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2159 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2161 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2162 large sequence line.
2164 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2166 * Released nmh-0.23.
2168 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2170 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2171 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2172 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2173 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2175 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2176 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2179 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2181 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2183 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2185 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2186 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2188 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2189 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2191 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2192 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2194 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2195 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.

2202 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2204 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2206 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2207 mh-profile(5) man page.

2212 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2214 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2216 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2217 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2219 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2221 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2222 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2223 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2225 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2226 source message on the standard input.
2228 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2230 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2231 rather than -rfc934mode.
2233 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2234 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2237 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2238 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2240 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2243 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * Released nmh-0.21.
2247 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2248 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2250 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2253 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2254 to use for text contents.
2256 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2258 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2262 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2264 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2265 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2267 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2268 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2269 spaces between encoded word are.
2271 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2273 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2274 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2276 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2277 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2278 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2280 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2282 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2283 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2285 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2287 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.

2290 ISO-8859-X character set.
2292 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2295 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2296 permissions, not write permissions.
2298 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2299 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2301 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2304 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2306 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2308 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2309 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2311 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2312 message contains valid character set.
2314 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2315 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2317 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2318 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2320 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2321 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2322 between an encoded word and normal text.
2324 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2325 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2327 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2328 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2330 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2333 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2334 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2337 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2338 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2340 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2341 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2343 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2345 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2347 * Released nmh-0.20.
2349 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2351 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2353 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2354 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2355 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2357 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2358 and the To: line was missing.
2360 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2362 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2364 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2366 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2367 watch the POP transaction.
2369 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2370 first, and use it if available.
2372 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2373 first, and use it if available.
2375 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2377 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2379 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2380 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2381 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2384 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2385 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2386 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2388 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2389 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2392 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2394 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2395 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2397 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2399 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2400 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2402 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2403 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2404 message to which you are replying.
2406 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2407 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2408 making group replies.
2410 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2412 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2414 * Released nmh-0.19.
2416 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2417 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2419 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2420 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2421 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2422 to the end of the man page.
2424 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2425 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2426 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2427 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2428 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2429 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2431 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2434 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2435 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2436 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2438 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2439 the next available number above the message number you wish
2442 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2443 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2445 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2446 file sbr/seq_print.c
2448 * flist will now update the current folder.
2450 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2451 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2452 but now undocumented.
2454 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2457 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2458 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2460 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2462 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2463 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2465 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2467 * Released nmh-0.18.
2469 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2470 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2471 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2473 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2474 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2476 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2477 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2478 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2479 previous public/private status.
2481 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2484 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2487 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2488 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2489 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2491 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2492 take option to determine whether it should get current
2493 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2494 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2496 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2498 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2499 wait for stopped processes.
2501 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2502 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2504 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2506 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2508 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2509 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2511 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2512 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2514 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2515 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2516 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2517 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2519 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2522 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2525 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2527 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2528 the debugging output.
2530 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2531 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2533 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2535 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2537 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2538 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2540 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2542 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2543 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2544 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2545 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2546 in the given sequence.
2548 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2549 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2550 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2551 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2552 subdirectories of a given directory.
2554 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2555 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2556 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2558 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2559 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2561 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2563 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2566 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2567 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2568 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2570 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2571 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2572 are calculated at runtime.
2574 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2576 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2578 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2579 about checking for global mh.profile.
2581 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2582 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2583 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2584 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2585 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2586 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2588 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2589 adding message to folder itself.
2591 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2592 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2593 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2596 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2597 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2600 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2601 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2602 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2604 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2605 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2607 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2608 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2609 code to use it yet).
2611 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2613 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2615 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2616 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2618 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2619 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2621 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2623 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2626 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2628 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2630 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2632 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2634 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2635 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2637 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2639 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2641 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2643 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2645 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2647 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2648 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2650 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2651 configuration files.
2653 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2655 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2657 * Released nmh-0.17.
2659 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2661 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2662 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2664 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2667 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2668 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2670 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2671 number of refiled message.
2673 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2675 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2676 for return value of wait().
2678 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2680 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2682 * Released nmh-0.16.
2684 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2686 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2688 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2689 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2690 deal with binary messages, yet).
2692 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2694 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2696 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2697 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2698 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2699 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2700 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2701 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2703 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2704 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2706 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2707 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2709 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2710 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2713 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2715 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2717 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2718 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2721 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2724 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2726 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2727 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2728 which used unsigned chars by default.
2730 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2732 * Released nmh-0.15.
2734 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2735 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2737 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2739 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2741 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2744 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2745 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2746 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2748 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2749 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2751 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2753 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2754 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2756 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2757 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2758 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2759 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2761 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2762 and put in own subroutine.
2764 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2765 and put in own subroutine.
2767 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2768 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2769 refile.c to use new routine.
2771 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2773 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2775 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2778 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2779 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2780 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2782 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2785 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2786 adding message to sequence.
2788 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2789 corresponding file in sbr.
2791 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2794 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2796 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2797 all selected messages from a sequence.
2799 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2800 selected messages to a sequence.
2802 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2805 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2808 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2810 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2813 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2815 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2818 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2822 * Released nmh-0.14.
2824 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2825 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.

2853 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2854 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2857 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2858 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2860 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2862 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2863 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2865 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2867 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2896 will suppress the display of the message header.
2898 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2900 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2917 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2919 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2920 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2922 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2923 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2947 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2948 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2950 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2952 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2982 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2983 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2985 * Released nmh-0.08.
2987 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2988 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2989 locking database itself.

2993 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2995 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2996 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2999 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3000 rather than mmdf format.
3002 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3003 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3004 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3005 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3007 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3009 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3011 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3014 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3015 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3016 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3018 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3019 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3020 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3022 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3024 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3025 can still easily change this in config.h).
3027 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3028 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3029 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3031 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3047 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3048 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3050 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3051 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3054 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3055 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3068 * Released nmh-0.06.
3070 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3071 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3073 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3074 many such machines around anymore.
3076 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3077 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3079 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3080 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3082 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3084 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3085 pre-generated version if necessary.
3087 * Released nmh-0.05.
3089 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3090 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3091 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3092 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3094 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3095 be linked in one pass.
3097 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3099 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3100 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3102 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3104 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3106 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3108 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3109 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3110 become the current folder.
3112 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3114 * Released nmh-0.04.
3116 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3119 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3121 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3122 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3123 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3125 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3127 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3128 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3130 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3132 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3133 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3136 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3137 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3139 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3141 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3142 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3143 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3144 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3145 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3146 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3148 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3150 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3151 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3153 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3154 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3156 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3158 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3159 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3161 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3163 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3164 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3165 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3167 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3169 * Released nmh-0.03.
3171 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3172 .mh_sequence file existed.
3174 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3175 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3177 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3178 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3181 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3183 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3186 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3188 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3189 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3190 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3192 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3194 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3195 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3196 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3198 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3200 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3201 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3203 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3205 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3207 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3208 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3209 directory from where the source code is located.
3211 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3213 * Released nmh-0.02.

3220 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3222 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3223 and sys_nerr directly.

3227 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3229 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".

3233 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3234 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3235 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3236 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3237 rather than in script.
3239 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3241 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3243 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3244 macro defined on Solaris.
3246 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3248 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3249 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3251 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3252 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3253 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3254 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3257 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3259 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3260 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3262 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3265 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3267 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3269 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3270 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3272 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3274 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3275 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3277 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3280 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3281 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3282 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3283 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3284 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3286 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3288 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3290 * Released nmh-0.01.
3292 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3293 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3294 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3297 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3302 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3304 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3305 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3307 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3309 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3310 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3311 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3312 script to find_program.
3314 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3316 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3317 speed up -recurse option.
3319 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3320 yet, but it compiles :-)
3322 * Changed default location for install to
3323 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3324 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3325 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3328 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3329 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3330 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
