3 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
5 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
7 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
10 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
12 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
13 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
14 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
15 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
16 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
17 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
19 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
21 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
23 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
25 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
26 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
29 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
30 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
31 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
33 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
36 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
38 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
39 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
40 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
42 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
43 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
44 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
46 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
48 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
49 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
50 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
51 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
52 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
53 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
54 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
56 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
58 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
59 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
61 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
63 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
64 with multibyte support.
66 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
67 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
68 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
69 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
71 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
73 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
74 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
76 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
77 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
79 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
81 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
82 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
83 the address of a static array.
85 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
87 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
88 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
90 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
92 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
93 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
94 This allows users to masquerade with the default
95 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
96 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
97 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
100 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
102 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
103 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
104 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
105 ruserpass() has a void return type.
107 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
108 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
109 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
110 provide memmove() substitute implementation
112 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
113 source directory' feature
115 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
116 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
118 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
120 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
121 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
122 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
125 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
127 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
128 is the wrong approach.
130 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
131 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
132 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
135 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
136 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
137 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
138 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
139 broken for continued lines from the server.
141 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
143 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
144 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
146 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
148 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
150 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
153 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
155 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
157 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
159 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
160 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
161 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
162 obsolete feature of autoconf
164 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
166 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
167 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
168 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
170 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
172 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
173 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
175 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
177 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
180 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
182 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
183 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
184 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
185 following done() (should never be reached).
187 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
189 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
190 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
192 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
194 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
195 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
197 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
199 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
200 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
201 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
202 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
203 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
204 acconfig.h if you must.
206 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
208 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
209 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
210 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
211 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
213 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
215 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
218 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
220 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
221 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
222 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
223 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
224 have Content-Disposition.
226 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
228 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
231 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
233 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
234 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
236 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
238 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
239 encoded block is empty
241 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
243 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
244 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
245 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
248 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
250 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
251 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
254 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
256 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
257 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
258 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
259 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
262 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
263 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
265 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
267 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
268 function num_digits into utils.c
270 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
272 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
273 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
274 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
276 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
278 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
279 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
280 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
281 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
282 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
283 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
284 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
285 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
287 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
289 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
290 Content-Disposition header.
292 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
294 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
295 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
296 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
297 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
298 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
299 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
300 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
301 users to easily accomodate that by adding
302 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
304 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
306 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
307 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
309 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
311 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
313 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
314 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
316 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
317 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
319 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
321 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
322 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
323 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
324 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
325 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
328 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
330 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
331 widths, restoring right justification feature
333 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
335 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
336 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
337 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
339 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
342 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
344 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
345 handling multi column characters.
347 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
349 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
351 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
353 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
354 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
357 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
359 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
361 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
363 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
366 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
368 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
371 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
373 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
374 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
375 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
376 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
378 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
380 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
381 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
382 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
383 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
384 where configure's autodetection fails.
386 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
388 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
389 configure script change.
391 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
393 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
394 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
395 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
398 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
400 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
401 the context is only read once.
403 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
405 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
406 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
408 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
410 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
411 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
413 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
414 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
417 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
418 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
421 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
423 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
424 vi isn't found during build.
426 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
428 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
429 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
431 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
432 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
433 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
435 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
437 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
438 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
440 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
441 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
442 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
443 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
446 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
447 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
448 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
450 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
451 entry in the context file.
453 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
455 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
456 problems on some systems
458 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
459 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
461 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
463 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
464 sendmail isn't found during build.
466 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
468 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
470 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
472 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
473 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
475 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
476 references to the web page and mailing list locations
478 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
479 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
481 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
484 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
486 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
487 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
488 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
490 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
491 was configured with --enable-apop.
493 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
494 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
495 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
497 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
498 new versions of flex.
500 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
501 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
502 doesn't guess wrongly.
504 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
506 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
507 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
509 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
510 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
512 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
513 files with numbers as names
515 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
517 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
519 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
521 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
523 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
524 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
526 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
528 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
531 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
532 test/report error writing to stdout
534 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
536 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
538 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
539 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
540 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
542 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
543 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
544 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
546 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
548 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
549 character set used by the current locale
551 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
552 message's filename overflows an int when converted
554 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
555 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
557 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
559 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
562 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
564 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
565 from Michael Richardson.
567 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
568 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
570 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
572 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
573 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
575 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
577 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
578 find sub-parts of the specified part
580 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
582 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
583 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
584 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
585 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
586 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
587 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
588 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
591 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
593 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
594 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
595 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
598 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
599 refiling with -src option.
601 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
603 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
605 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
607 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
608 mailpath being overwritten.
610 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
612 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
613 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
614 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
615 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
616 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
617 reinitializes the tmp file string.
619 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
620 if a format string was read from the profile.
622 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
623 path for the external hook.
625 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
627 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
628 another location for ndbm.
630 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
632 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
634 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
636 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
639 136976 - Handle binary content messages
640 143427 - mh-format.man typo
641 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
642 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
643 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
644 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
645 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
646 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
647 181867 - typo for nmh.man
649 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
651 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
652 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
653 contitional code which will result in cached data to
654 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
655 and parse on the first use.
656 * Remove some unused flag bits.
658 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
660 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
661 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
663 #578 - repl leaks umask
664 #1393 - sortm core dumps
665 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
666 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
667 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
669 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
670 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
672 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
674 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
675 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
677 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
679 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
680 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
681 to docs/README.about.
683 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
685 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
687 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
688 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
689 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
690 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
693 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
695 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
696 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
697 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
698 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
699 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
700 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
703 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
704 summary configure prints out.
706 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
707 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
708 subjectively more readable) format.
710 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
712 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
715 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
717 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
718 19xx when it's not necessary.
720 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
722 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
723 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
726 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
727 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
728 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
729 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
730 the man pages correctly.
732 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
734 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
736 * Finished manpages ali-prev
738 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
739 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
740 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
743 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
744 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
745 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
746 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
748 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
750 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
751 the formatting rules I've been using.
755 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
757 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
758 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
759 used in the manpages.
761 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
762 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
763 read in the contents of the file as the variable
766 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
767 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
768 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
769 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
770 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
771 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
772 bold flags and italicized parameters.
774 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
776 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
777 --with-locking option.
779 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
780 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
781 information was not being communicated to the
782 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
783 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
784 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
785 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
786 undefined symbols problems.
788 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
789 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
790 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
791 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
792 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
793 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
794 for a genuine krb4 installation.
796 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
798 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
799 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
801 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
803 * Made a new ./configure option called
804 "--with-locking" that allows the file
805 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
806 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
808 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
809 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
810 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
811 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
812 the user that these are the valid options, and
813 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
816 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
818 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
819 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
820 committed to supporting flex only, since
821 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
822 string, as well as other problems documented
823 below and on nmh-workers.
825 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
826 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
827 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
830 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
831 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
833 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
835 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
836 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
837 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
839 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
842 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
844 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
846 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
847 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
848 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
849 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
850 couldn't correctly identify them.
852 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
854 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
855 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
856 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
857 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
858 not depending on an external archive.
860 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
861 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
862 mts/generic is no longer built.
864 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
867 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
868 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
869 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
870 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
871 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
872 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
873 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
875 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
877 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
878 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
881 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
883 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
884 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
885 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
888 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
889 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
890 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
891 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
893 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
894 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
895 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
896 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
897 merged into the smtp code).
899 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
900 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
901 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
904 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
905 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
906 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
907 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
908 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
909 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
910 in the appropriate Makefile.in
912 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
914 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
915 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
916 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
917 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
918 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
919 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
920 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
921 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
922 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
923 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
924 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
926 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
928 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
929 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
930 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
931 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
932 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
933 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
934 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
935 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
936 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
938 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
940 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
941 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
944 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
946 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
947 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
949 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
951 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
952 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
953 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
954 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
956 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
958 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
959 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
960 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
961 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
962 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
964 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
965 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
967 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
969 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
971 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
972 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
973 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
974 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
976 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
977 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
978 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
979 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
981 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
982 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
983 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
984 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
986 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
987 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
988 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
990 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
992 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
993 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
994 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
995 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
996 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
997 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1000 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1001 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1003 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1004 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1006 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1008 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1010 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1012 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1013 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1014 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1015 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1017 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1019 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1020 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1022 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1024 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1026 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1027 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1030 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1032 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1033 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1034 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1035 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1037 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1039 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1040 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1041 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1042 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1043 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1045 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1047 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1048 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1050 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1051 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1053 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1055 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1057 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1058 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1059 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1061 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1063 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1066 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1067 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1069 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1071 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1072 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1074 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1076 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1077 inc does not need to be setgid.
1079 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1081 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1082 library, as found on Debian systems.
1084 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1086 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1088 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1089 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1090 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1091 case-insensitivity flag.
1093 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1095 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1096 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1098 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1100 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1101 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1102 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1103 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1104 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1105 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1106 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1107 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1108 getting moved aside).
1110 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1111 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1113 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1115 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1116 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1117 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1118 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1119 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1120 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1121 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1122 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1123 the prototype, but never sets it.
1125 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1126 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1127 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1128 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1129 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1130 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1132 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1133 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1134 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1135 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1136 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1138 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1140 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1141 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1144 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1145 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1146 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1147 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1148 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1149 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1150 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1152 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1154 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1156 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1157 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1158 this works on other systems.
1160 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1162 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1163 checks for write failures.
1165 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1167 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1169 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1172 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1174 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1176 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1178 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1179 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1182 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1184 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1185 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1186 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1187 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1189 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1191 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1192 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1195 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1196 as well as Makefiles.
1198 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1200 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1201 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1202 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1203 should make maintainability easier.
1205 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1206 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1207 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1208 whatever you know works.
1210 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1212 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1213 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1214 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1216 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1217 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1218 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1219 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1221 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1222 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1223 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1225 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1226 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1227 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1228 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1229 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1231 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1232 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1233 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1234 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1235 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1236 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1237 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1238 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1239 from the BSD version.
1241 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1242 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1243 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1245 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1246 in ruserpass.c also.
1248 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1251 This happens on solaris:
1254 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1255 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1259 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1261 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1262 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1264 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1266 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1267 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1268 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1269 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1270 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1271 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1272 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1273 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1274 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1275 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1276 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1278 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1279 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1280 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1281 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1282 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1283 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1286 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1287 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1288 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1289 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1290 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1292 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1293 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1295 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1297 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1298 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1299 to stdin, such as exmh.
1301 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1302 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1303 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1306 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1308 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1309 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1310 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1311 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1312 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1313 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1314 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1316 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1318 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1319 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1321 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1323 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1324 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1326 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1328 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1331 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1332 along with any -host or -user option.
1334 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1336 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1338 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1339 process was fresh in my mind.
1341 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1343 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1344 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1346 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1348 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1350 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1353 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1354 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1355 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1356 part of the program's name.
1358 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1359 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1362 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1364 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1365 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1366 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1367 single-character format would cause programs using this
1368 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1369 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1370 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1371 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1374 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1376 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1377 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1378 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1379 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1380 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1381 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1383 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1384 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1385 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1386 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1387 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1388 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1389 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1390 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1392 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1393 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1394 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1395 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1396 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1397 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1398 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1399 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1400 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1401 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1403 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1405 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1406 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1408 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1409 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1411 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1416 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1418 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1419 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1420 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1421 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1423 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1424 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1425 problem in the routine.
1427 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1429 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1430 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1432 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1433 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1434 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1437 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1439 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1440 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1441 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1442 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1443 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1444 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1445 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1446 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1447 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1448 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1450 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1452 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1453 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1454 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1455 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1456 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1457 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1458 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1459 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1460 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1461 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1462 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1463 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1465 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1466 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1467 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1468 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1469 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1471 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1474 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1476 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1477 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1478 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1479 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1482 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1484 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1486 * Applied, after some finessing,
1487 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1489 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1491 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1493 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1494 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1495 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1496 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1498 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1500 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1501 forgetting to do so!).
1503 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1504 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1505 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1506 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1507 arguments to enable all three types.
1509 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1510 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1512 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1513 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1514 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1515 updated copy of mts.conf.
1517 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1519 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1520 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1521 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1523 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1525 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1527 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1528 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1529 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1531 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1532 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1533 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1535 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1536 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1537 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1539 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1541 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1543 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1545 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1547 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1548 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1550 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1551 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1552 certain suffix to run properly.
1554 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1555 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1556 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1558 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1559 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1560 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1561 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1562 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1563 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1564 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1566 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1568 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1569 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1570 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1571 until some year far in the future).
1573 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1575 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1577 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1578 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1580 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1581 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1584 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1586 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1587 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1588 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1589 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1590 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1591 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1593 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1595 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1597 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1598 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1599 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1601 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1602 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1603 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1604 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1605 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1606 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1609 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1610 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1611 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1612 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1613 of masquerading individually.
1615 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1616 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1617 GECOS field delimiters.
1619 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1621 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1622 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1623 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1624 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1625 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1626 and explaining the feature.
1628 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1630 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1631 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1634 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1635 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1636 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1638 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1639 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1640 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1641 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1643 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1644 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1645 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1648 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1650 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1651 code to be executed.
1653 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1655 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1657 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1658 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1659 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1660 quotes embedded in them.
1662 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1664 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1665 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1666 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1667 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1668 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1669 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1670 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1673 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1674 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1675 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1676 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1677 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1679 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1681 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1683 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1684 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1685 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1686 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1688 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1691 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1693 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1695 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1697 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1698 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1699 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1701 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1704 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1706 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1707 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1708 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1709 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1710 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1711 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1713 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1714 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1716 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1718 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1721 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1723 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1724 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1725 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1728 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1729 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1730 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1731 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1732 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1733 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1734 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1735 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1736 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1737 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1738 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1739 processing that post has).
1741 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1743 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1744 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1745 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1746 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1747 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1748 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1751 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1753 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1755 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1757 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1759 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1760 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1762 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1765 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1767 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1768 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1769 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1772 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1774 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1775 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1776 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1777 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1778 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1779 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1781 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1783 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1785 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1787 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1788 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1789 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1790 caught again. This works for now.
1792 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1794 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1796 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1797 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1799 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1801 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1802 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1804 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1806 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1808 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1810 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1811 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1813 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1815 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1816 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1817 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1818 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1819 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1822 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1824 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1825 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1826 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1828 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1829 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1832 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1834 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1835 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1836 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1838 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1840 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1841 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1843 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1845 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1848 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1849 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1851 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1852 macros, regardless of platform.
1854 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1855 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1857 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1858 with x-conversions=gzip.
1860 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1862 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1865 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1866 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1867 implicit definition of ioctl().
1869 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1870 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1871 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1872 want to mess with them.
1874 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1876 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1877 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1879 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1880 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1882 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1883 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1884 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1886 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1887 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1888 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1890 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1891 function initgroups.
1893 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1896 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1897 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1900 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1901 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1904 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1905 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1909 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1911 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1912 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1913 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1915 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1916 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1918 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1920 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1922 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1923 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1924 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1925 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1927 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1928 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1930 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1932 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1934 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1936 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1937 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1939 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1941 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1942 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1944 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1945 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1946 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1947 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1949 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1950 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1952 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1954 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1955 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1957 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1959 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1960 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1963 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1965 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1967 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1969 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1970 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1972 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1973 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1974 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1976 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1977 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1978 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1980 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1981 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1982 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1984 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1985 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1988 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1989 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1991 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1992 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1994 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1995 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1997 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1998 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1999 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2001 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2002 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2004 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2005 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2006 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2008 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2009 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2012 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2013 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2015 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2016 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2017 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2018 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2020 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2021 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2023 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2027 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2028 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2029 would not be changed.
2031 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2032 one from the Apache web server.
2034 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2035 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2037 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2038 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2039 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2041 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2043 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2045 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2046 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2049 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2050 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2051 removes a bad race condition.
2053 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2056 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2057 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2058 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2060 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2061 sequence information.
2063 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2064 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2066 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2069 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2072 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2074 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2075 interpret 034 as octal.
2077 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2079 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2080 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2082 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2083 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2085 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2086 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2088 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2089 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2091 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2092 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2094 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2095 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2096 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2098 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2099 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2100 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2102 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2104 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2106 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2107 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2110 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2112 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2113 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2115 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2116 header field information.
2118 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2119 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2121 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2122 values when parsing a content.
2124 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2125 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2127 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2128 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2130 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2131 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2133 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2134 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2136 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2138 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2140 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2142 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2144 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2145 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2148 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2149 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2151 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2152 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2153 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2154 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2155 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2156 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2159 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2161 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2162 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2163 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2165 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2166 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2168 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2170 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2171 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2172 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2173 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2175 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2176 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2179 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2180 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2181 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2182 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2185 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2187 * Released nmh-0.27.
2189 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2190 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2192 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2193 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2194 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2195 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2198 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2199 mhbuild returns an error.
2201 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2202 rename the draft file.
2204 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2205 use a global variable.
2207 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2208 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2210 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2211 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2213 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2214 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2215 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2217 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2218 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2220 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2221 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2224 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2225 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2228 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2229 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2231 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2232 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2233 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2235 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2236 to new function output_content_folder.
2238 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2239 new function output_content_file.
2241 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2242 to new function parse_format_string.
2244 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2245 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2246 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2247 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2249 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2250 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2251 message/external file from ftp.
2253 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2254 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2255 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2257 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2258 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2261 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2264 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2265 new file mhstoresbr.c
2267 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2270 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2271 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2273 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2274 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2276 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2277 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2278 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2280 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2282 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2284 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2285 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2288 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2289 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2291 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2294 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2296 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2298 * Released nmh-0.26.
2300 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2301 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2302 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2303 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2305 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2306 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2307 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2308 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2309 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2311 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2312 But it is not on by default.
2314 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2315 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2317 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2319 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2321 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2323 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2325 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2326 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2328 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2330 * Released nmh-0.25.
2332 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2333 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2334 uses the original name of the library.
2336 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2337 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2340 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2341 list_content and list_debug.
2343 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2345 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2346 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2348 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2350 * Released nmh-0.24.
2352 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2354 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2355 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2357 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2358 large sequence line.
2360 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2362 * Released nmh-0.23.
2364 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2366 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2367 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2368 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2369 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2371 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2372 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2375 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2377 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2379 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2381 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2382 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2384 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2385 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2387 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2388 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2390 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2391 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2393 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2395 * Released nmh-0.22.
2397 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2398 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2400 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2402 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2403 mh-profile(5) man page.
2405 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2406 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2408 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2410 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2412 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2413 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2415 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2417 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2418 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2419 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2421 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2422 source message on the standard input.
2424 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2426 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2427 rather than -rfc934mode.
2429 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2430 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2433 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2434 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2436 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2439 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2441 * Released nmh-0.21.
2443 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2444 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2446 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2449 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2450 to use for text contents.
2452 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2454 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2456 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2458 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2460 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2461 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2463 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2464 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2465 spaces between encoded word are.
2467 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2469 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2470 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2472 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2473 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2474 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2476 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2478 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2479 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2481 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2483 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2485 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2486 ISO-8859-X character set.
2488 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2491 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2492 permissions, not write permissions.
2494 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2495 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2497 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2500 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2502 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2504 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2505 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2507 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2508 message contains valid character set.
2510 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2511 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2513 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2514 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2516 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2517 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2518 between an encoded word and normal text.
2520 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2521 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2523 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2524 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2526 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2529 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2530 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2533 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2534 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2536 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2537 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2539 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2541 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2543 * Released nmh-0.20.
2545 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2547 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2549 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2550 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2551 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2553 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2554 and the To: line was missing.
2556 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2558 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2560 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2562 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2563 watch the POP transaction.
2565 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2566 first, and use it if available.
2568 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2569 first, and use it if available.
2571 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2573 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2575 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2576 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2577 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2580 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2581 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2582 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2584 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2585 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2588 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2590 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2591 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2593 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2595 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2596 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2598 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2599 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2600 message to which you are replying.
2602 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2603 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2604 making group replies.
2606 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2608 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2610 * Released nmh-0.19.
2612 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2613 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2615 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2616 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2617 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2618 to the end of the man page.
2620 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2621 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2622 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2623 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2624 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2625 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2627 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2630 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2631 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2632 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2634 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2635 the next available number above the message number you wish
2638 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2639 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2641 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2642 file sbr/seq_print.c
2644 * flist will now update the current folder.
2646 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2647 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2648 but now undocumented.
2650 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2653 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2654 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2656 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2658 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2659 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2661 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2663 * Released nmh-0.18.
2665 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2666 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2667 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2669 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2670 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2672 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2673 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2674 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2675 previous public/private status.
2677 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2680 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2683 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2684 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2685 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2687 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2688 take option to determine whether it should get current
2689 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2690 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2692 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2694 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2695 wait for stopped processes.
2697 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2698 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2700 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2702 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2704 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2705 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2707 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2708 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2710 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2711 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2712 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2713 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2715 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2718 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2721 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2723 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2724 the debugging output.
2726 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2727 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2729 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2731 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2733 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2734 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2736 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2738 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2739 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2740 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2741 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2742 in the given sequence.
2744 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2745 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2746 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2747 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2748 subdirectories of a given directory.
2750 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2751 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2752 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2754 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2755 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2757 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2759 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2762 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2763 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2764 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2766 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2767 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2768 are calculated at runtime.
2770 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2772 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2774 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2775 about checking for global mh.profile.
2777 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2778 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2779 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2780 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2781 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2782 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2784 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2785 adding message to folder itself.
2787 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2788 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2789 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2792 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2793 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2796 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2797 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2798 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2800 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2801 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2803 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2804 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2805 code to use it yet).

2809 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2811 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never

2815 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2817 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2819 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2822 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2824 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.

2855 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2857 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2858 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2860 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2863 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2864 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2866 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2867 number of refiled message.
2869 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2871 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2872 for return value of wait().

2882 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2884 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2885 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2886 deal with binary messages, yet).
2888 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2890 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2892 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2893 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2894 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2895 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2896 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2897 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2899 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2900 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2902 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2903 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2906 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2909 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2911 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2914 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2917 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2920 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2922 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2923 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2924 which used unsigned chars by default.

2928 * Released nmh-0.15.
2930 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2935 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2937 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2940 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2941 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2942 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2944 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2945 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2947 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2949 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2950 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2952 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2953 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2954 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2955 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2957 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2958 and put in own subroutine.
2960 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2961 and put in own subroutine.
2963 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2964 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2965 refile.c to use new routine.
2967 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2969 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2971 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2974 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2975 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2976 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2978 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2981 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2982 adding message to sequence.

2985 corresponding file in sbr.
2987 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2990 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.

2993 all selected messages from a sequence.
2995 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2996 selected messages to a sequence.
2998 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3001 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3004 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3006 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3008 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3025 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3026 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3027 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3028 environment variable.
3030 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3031 draft folder facility in nmh.
3033 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

3045 * Released nmh-0.13.
3047 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3048 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3049 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3050 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3053 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3054 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3056 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3059 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3061 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
3064 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

3080 mp->attrstats with macros.
3082 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
3085 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3088 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3089 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3091 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3092 will suppress the display of the message header.
3094 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3096 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3097 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3099 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3101 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3103 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3105 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3106 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3108 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3109 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3111 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3113 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3115 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3116 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3118 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3119 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3121 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3123 * Released nmh-0.10.

3130 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3132 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3133 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3135 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3136 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3138 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3139 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3141 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3143 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3144 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3146 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3148 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3149 of missing tabs in regex.

3176 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3178 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3179 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3181 * Released nmh-0.08.
3183 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3184 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3185 locking database itself.
3187 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3189 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3191 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3192 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3195 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3196 rather than mmdf format.
3198 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3199 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3200 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3201 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3203 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3205 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3207 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3210 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3211 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3212 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3214 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3215 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3216 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3218 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3221 can still easily change this in config.h).
3223 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3224 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3225 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3227 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3229 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3230 than tzset and external timezone variable.

3241 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3243 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3244 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3246 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3247 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3250 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3251 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3253 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3254 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3256 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3258 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3260 * Added configure check for tzset.
3262 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3264 * Released nmh-0.06.
3266 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3267 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3269 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3270 many such machines around anymore.
3272 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3273 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3275 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3276 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3278 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3280 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3281 pre-generated version if necessary.
3283 * Released nmh-0.05.
3285 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3286 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3287 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3288 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3290 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3291 be linked in one pass.
3293 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3295 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3296 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3298 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3300 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3302 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3304 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3305 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3306 become the current folder.
3308 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3310 * Released nmh-0.04.
3312 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3315 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3317 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3318 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3319 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3321 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3323 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3324 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3326 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3328 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3329 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3332 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3333 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3335 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3337 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3338 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3339 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3340 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3341 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3342 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3344 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3346 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3347 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3349 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3350 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3352 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3354 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3355 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3357 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3359 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3360 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3361 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3363 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3365 * Released nmh-0.03.
3367 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3368 .mh_sequence file existed.
3370 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3371 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3373 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3374 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3377 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3379 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3382 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3384 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3385 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3386 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3388 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3390 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3391 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3392 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3394 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3401 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3403 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3404 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3405 directory from where the source code is located.
3407 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3409 * Released nmh-0.02.

3430 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3431 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path

3435 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3437 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3439 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3440 macro defined on Solaris.
3442 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3444 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3445 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3447 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3448 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable

3463 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3465 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

3470 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3471 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3473 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3475 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3476 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3477 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3478 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3479 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3480 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3482 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3484 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3486 * Released nmh-0.01.
3488 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3489 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3490 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3493 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3495 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3498 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3501 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3503 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3505 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3506 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3507 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3508 script to find_program.
3510 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3512 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3513 speed up -recurse option.
3515 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3516 yet, but it compiles :-)
3518 * Changed default location for install to
3519 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3520 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3521 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3524 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3525 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3526 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
