1 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
3 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
5 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
7 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
8 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
11 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
12 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
13 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
15 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
18 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
20 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
21 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
22 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
24 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
25 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
26 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
28 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
30 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
31 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
32 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
33 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
34 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
35 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
36 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
38 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
40 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
41 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
43 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
45 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
46 with multibyte support.
48 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
49 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
50 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
51 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
53 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
55 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
56 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
58 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
59 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
61 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
63 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
64 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
65 the address of a static array.
67 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
69 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
70 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
72 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
74 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
75 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
76 This allows users to masquerade with the default
77 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
78 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
79 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
82 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
84 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
85 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
86 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
87 ruserpass() has a void return type.
89 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
90 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
91 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
92 provide memmove() substitute implementation
94 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
95 source directory' feature
97 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
98 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
100 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
102 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
103 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
104 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
107 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
109 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
110 is the wrong approach.
112 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
113 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
114 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
117 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
118 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
119 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
120 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
121 broken for continued lines from the server.
123 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
125 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
126 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
128 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
130 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
132 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
135 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
137 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
139 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
141 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
142 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
143 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
144 obsolete feature of autoconf
146 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
148 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
149 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
150 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
152 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
154 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
155 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
157 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
159 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
162 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
164 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
165 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
166 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
167 following done() (should never be reached).
169 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
171 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
172 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
174 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
176 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
177 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
179 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
181 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
182 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
183 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
184 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
185 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
186 acconfig.h if you must.
188 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
190 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
191 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
192 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
193 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
195 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
197 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
200 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
202 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
203 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
204 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
205 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
206 have Content-Disposition.
208 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
210 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
213 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
215 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
216 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
218 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
220 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
221 encoded block is empty
223 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
225 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
226 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
227 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
230 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
232 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
233 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
236 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
238 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
239 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
240 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
241 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
244 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
245 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
247 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
249 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
250 function num_digits into utils.c
252 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
254 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
255 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
256 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
258 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
260 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
261 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
262 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
263 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
264 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
265 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
266 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
267 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
269 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
271 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
272 Content-Disposition header.
274 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
276 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
277 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
278 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
279 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
280 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
281 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
282 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
283 users to easily accomodate that by adding
284 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
286 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
288 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
289 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
291 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
293 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
295 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
296 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
298 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
299 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
301 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
303 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
304 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
305 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
306 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
307 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
310 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
312 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
313 widths, restoring right justification feature
315 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
317 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
318 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
319 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
321 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
324 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
326 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
327 handling multi column characters.
329 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
331 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
333 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
335 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
336 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
339 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
341 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
343 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
345 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
348 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
350 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
353 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
355 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
356 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
357 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
358 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
360 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
362 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
363 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
364 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
365 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
366 where configure's autodetection fails.
368 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
370 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
371 configure script change.
373 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
375 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
376 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
377 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
380 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
382 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
383 the context is only read once.
385 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
387 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
388 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
390 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
392 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
393 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
395 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
396 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
399 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
400 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
403 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
405 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
406 vi isn't found during build.
408 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
410 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
411 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
413 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
414 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
415 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
417 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
419 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
420 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
422 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
423 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
424 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
425 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
428 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
429 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
430 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
432 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
433 entry in the context file.
435 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
437 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
438 problems on some systems
440 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
441 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
443 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
445 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
446 sendmail isn't found during build.
448 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
450 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
452 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
454 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
455 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
457 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
458 references to the web page and mailing list locations
460 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
461 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
463 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
466 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
468 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
469 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
470 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
472 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
473 was configured with --enable-apop.
475 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
476 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
477 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
479 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
480 new versions of flex.
482 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
483 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
484 doesn't guess wrongly.
486 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
488 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
489 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
491 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
492 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
494 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
495 files with numbers as names
497 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
499 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
501 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
503 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
505 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
506 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
508 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
510 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
513 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
514 test/report error writing to stdout
516 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
518 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
520 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
521 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
522 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
524 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
525 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
526 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
528 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
530 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
531 character set used by the current locale
533 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
534 message's filename overflows an int when converted
536 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
537 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
539 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
541 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
544 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
546 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
547 from Michael Richardson.
549 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
550 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
552 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
554 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
555 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
557 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
559 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
560 find sub-parts of the specified part
562 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
564 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
565 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
566 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
567 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
568 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
569 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
570 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
573 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
575 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
576 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
577 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
580 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
581 refiling with -src option.
583 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
585 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
587 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
589 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
590 mailpath being overwritten.
592 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
594 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
595 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
596 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
597 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
598 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
599 reinitializes the tmp file string.
601 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
602 if a format string was read from the profile.
604 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
605 path for the external hook.
607 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
609 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
610 another location for ndbm.
612 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
614 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
616 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
618 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
621 136976 - Handle binary content messages
622 143427 - mh-format.man typo
623 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
624 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
625 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
626 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
627 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
628 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
629 181867 - typo for nmh.man
631 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
633 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
634 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
635 contitional code which will result in cached data to
636 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
637 and parse on the first use.
638 * Remove some unused flag bits.
640 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
642 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
643 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
645 #578 - repl leaks umask
646 #1393 - sortm core dumps
647 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
648 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
649 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
651 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
652 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
654 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
656 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
657 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
659 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
661 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
662 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
663 to docs/README.about.
665 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
667 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
669 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
670 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
671 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
672 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
675 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
677 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
678 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
679 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
680 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
681 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
682 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
685 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
686 summary configure prints out.
688 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
689 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
690 subjectively more readable) format.
692 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
694 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
697 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
699 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
700 19xx when it's not necessary.
702 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
704 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
705 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
708 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
709 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
710 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
711 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
712 the man pages correctly.
714 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
716 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
718 * Finished manpages ali-prev
720 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
721 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
722 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
725 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
726 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
727 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
728 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
730 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
732 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
733 the formatting rules I've been using.
737 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
739 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
740 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
741 used in the manpages.
743 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
744 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
745 read in the contents of the file as the variable
748 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
749 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
750 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
751 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
752 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
753 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
754 bold flags and italicized parameters.
756 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
758 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
759 --with-locking option.
761 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
762 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
763 information was not being communicated to the
764 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
765 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
766 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
767 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
768 undefined symbols problems.
770 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
771 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
772 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
773 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
774 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
775 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
776 for a genuine krb4 installation.
778 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
780 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
781 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
783 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
785 * Made a new ./configure option called
786 "--with-locking" that allows the file
787 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
788 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
790 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
791 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
792 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
793 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
794 the user that these are the valid options, and
795 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
798 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
800 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
801 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
802 committed to supporting flex only, since
803 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
804 string, as well as other problems documented
805 below and on nmh-workers.
807 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
808 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
809 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
812 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
813 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
815 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
817 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
818 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
819 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
821 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
823 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
824 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
826 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
828 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
829 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
830 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
831 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
832 couldn't correctly identify them.
834 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
836 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
837 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
838 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
839 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
840 not depending on an external archive.
842 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
843 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
844 mts/generic is no longer built.
846 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
848 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
849 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
850 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
851 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
852 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
853 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
854 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
855 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
857 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
859 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
860 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
863 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
865 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
866 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
867 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
870 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
871 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
872 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
873 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
875 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
876 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
877 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
878 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
879 merged into the smtp code).
881 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
882 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
883 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
886 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
887 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
888 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
889 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
890 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
891 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
892 in the appropriate Makefile.in
894 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
896 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
897 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
898 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
899 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
900 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
901 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
902 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
903 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
904 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
905 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
906 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
908 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
910 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
911 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
912 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
913 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
914 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
915 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
916 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
917 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
918 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
920 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
922 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
923 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
926 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
928 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
929 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
931 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
933 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
934 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
935 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
936 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
938 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
940 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
941 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
942 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
943 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
944 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
946 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
947 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
949 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
951 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
954 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
955 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
956 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
958 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
959 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
960 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
961 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
963 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
964 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
965 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
966 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
968 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
969 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
970 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
972 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
974 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
975 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
976 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
977 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
978 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
979 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
982 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
983 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
985 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
986 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
988 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
990 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
992 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
994 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
995 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
996 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
997 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
999 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1001 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1002 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1004 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1006 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1008 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1009 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1012 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1014 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1015 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1016 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1017 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1019 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1021 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1022 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1023 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1024 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1025 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1027 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1029 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1030 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1032 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1033 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1035 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1037 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1039 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1040 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1041 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1043 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1045 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1048 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1049 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1051 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1053 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1054 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1056 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1058 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1059 inc does not need to be setgid.
1061 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1063 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1064 library, as found on Debian systems.
1066 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1068 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1070 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1071 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1072 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1073 case-insensitivity flag.
1075 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1077 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1078 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1080 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1083 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1084 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1085 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1086 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1087 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1088 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1089 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1090 getting moved aside).
1092 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1093 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1095 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1097 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1098 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1099 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1100 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1101 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1102 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1103 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1104 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1105 the prototype, but never sets it.
1107 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1108 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1109 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1110 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1111 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1112 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1114 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1115 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1116 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1117 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1118 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1120 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1122 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1123 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1126 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1127 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1128 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1129 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1130 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1131 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1132 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1134 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1136 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1138 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1139 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1140 this works on other systems.
1142 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1144 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1145 checks for write failures.
1147 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1149 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1151 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1154 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1156 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1158 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1160 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1161 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1164 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1166 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1167 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1168 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1169 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1171 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1173 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1174 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1177 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1178 as well as Makefiles.
1180 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1182 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1183 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1184 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1185 should make maintainability easier.
1187 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1188 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1189 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1190 whatever you know works.
1192 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1194 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1195 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1196 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1198 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1199 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1200 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1201 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1203 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1204 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1205 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1207 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1208 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1209 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1210 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1211 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1213 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1214 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1215 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1216 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1217 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1218 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1219 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1220 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1221 from the BSD version.
1223 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1224 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1225 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1227 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1228 in ruserpass.c also.
1230 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1233 This happens on solaris:
1236 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1237 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1241 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1243 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1244 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1246 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1248 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1249 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1250 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1251 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1252 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1253 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1254 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1255 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1256 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1257 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1258 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1260 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1261 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1262 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1263 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1264 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1265 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1268 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1269 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1270 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1271 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1272 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1274 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1275 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1277 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1279 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1280 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1281 to stdin, such as exmh.
1283 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1284 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1285 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1288 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1290 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1291 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1292 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1293 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1294 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1295 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1296 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1298 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1300 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1301 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1303 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1305 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1306 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1308 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1310 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1313 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1314 along with any -host or -user option.
1316 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1318 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1320 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1321 process was fresh in my mind.
1323 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1325 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1326 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1328 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1330 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1332 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1335 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1336 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1337 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1338 part of the program's name.
1340 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1341 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1344 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1346 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1347 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1348 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1349 single-character format would cause programs using this
1350 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1351 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1352 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1353 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1356 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1358 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1359 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1360 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1361 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1362 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1363 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1365 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1366 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1367 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1368 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1369 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1370 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1371 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1372 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1374 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1375 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1376 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1377 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1378 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1379 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1380 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1381 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1382 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1383 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1385 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1387 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1388 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1390 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1391 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1393 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1398 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1400 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1401 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1402 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1403 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1405 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1406 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1407 problem in the routine.
1409 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1411 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1412 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1414 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1415 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1416 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1419 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1421 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1422 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1423 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1424 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1425 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1426 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1427 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1428 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1429 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1430 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1432 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1434 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1435 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1436 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1437 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1438 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1439 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1440 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1441 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1442 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1443 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1444 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1445 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1447 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1448 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1449 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1450 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1451 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1453 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1456 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1458 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1459 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1460 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1461 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1464 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1466 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1468 * Applied, after some finessing,
1469 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1471 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1473 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1475 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1476 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1477 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1478 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1480 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1482 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1483 forgetting to do so!).
1485 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1486 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1487 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1488 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1489 arguments to enable all three types.
1491 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1492 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1494 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1495 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1496 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1497 updated copy of mts.conf.
1499 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1501 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1502 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1503 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1505 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1507 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1509 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1510 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1511 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1513 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1514 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1515 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1517 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1518 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1519 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1521 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1523 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1525 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1527 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1529 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1530 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1532 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1533 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1534 certain suffix to run properly.
1536 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1537 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1538 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1540 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1541 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1542 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1543 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1544 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1545 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1546 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1548 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1550 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1551 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1552 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1553 until some year far in the future).
1555 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1557 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1559 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1560 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1562 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1563 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1566 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1568 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1569 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1570 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1571 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1572 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1573 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1575 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1577 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1579 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1580 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1581 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1583 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1584 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1585 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1586 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1587 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1588 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1591 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1592 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1593 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1594 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1595 of masquerading individually.
1597 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1598 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1599 GECOS field delimiters.
1601 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1603 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1604 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1605 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1606 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1607 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1608 and explaining the feature.
1610 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1612 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1613 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1616 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1617 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1618 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1620 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1621 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1622 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1623 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1625 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1626 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1627 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1630 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1632 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1633 code to be executed.
1635 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1637 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1639 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1640 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1641 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1642 quotes embedded in them.
1644 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1646 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1647 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1648 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1649 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1650 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1651 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1652 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1655 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1656 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1657 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1658 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1659 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1661 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1663 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1665 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1666 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1667 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1668 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1670 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1673 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1675 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1677 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1679 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1680 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1681 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1683 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1686 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1688 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1689 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1690 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1691 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1692 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1693 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1695 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1696 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1698 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1700 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1703 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1705 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1706 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1707 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1710 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1711 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1712 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1713 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1714 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1715 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1716 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1717 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1718 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1719 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1720 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1721 processing that post has).
1723 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1725 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1726 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1727 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1728 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1729 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1730 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1733 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1735 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1737 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1739 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1741 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1742 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1744 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1747 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1749 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1750 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1751 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1754 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1756 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1757 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1758 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1759 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1760 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1761 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1763 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1765 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1767 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1769 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1770 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1771 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1772 caught again. This works for now.
1774 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1776 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1778 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1779 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1781 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1783 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1784 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1786 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1788 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1790 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1792 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1793 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1795 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1797 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1798 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1799 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1800 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1801 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1804 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1806 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1807 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1808 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1810 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1811 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1814 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1816 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1817 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1818 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1820 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1822 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1823 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1825 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1827 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1830 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1831 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1833 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1834 macros, regardless of platform.
1836 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1837 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1839 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1840 with x-conversions=gzip.
1842 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1844 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1847 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1848 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1849 implicit definition of ioctl().
1851 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1852 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1853 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1854 want to mess with them.
1856 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1858 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1859 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1861 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1862 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1864 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1865 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1866 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1868 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1869 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1870 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1872 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1873 function initgroups.
1875 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1878 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1879 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1882 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1883 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1886 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1887 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1891 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1893 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1894 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1895 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1897 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1898 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1900 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1902 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1904 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1905 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1906 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1907 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1909 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1910 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1912 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1914 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1916 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1918 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1919 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1921 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1923 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1924 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1926 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1927 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1928 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1929 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1931 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1932 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1934 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1936 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1937 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1939 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1941 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1942 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1945 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1947 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1949 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1951 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1952 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1954 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1955 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1956 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1958 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1959 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1960 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1962 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1963 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1964 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1966 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1967 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1970 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1971 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1973 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1974 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1976 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1977 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1979 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1980 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1981 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1983 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1984 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1986 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1987 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1988 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1990 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1991 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1994 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1995 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1997 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1998 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1999 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2000 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2002 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2003 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2005 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2009 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2010 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2011 would not be changed.
2013 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2014 one from the Apache web server.
2016 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2017 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2019 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2020 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2021 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2023 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2025 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2027 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2028 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2031 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2032 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2033 removes a bad race condition.
2035 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2038 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2039 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2040 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2042 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2043 sequence information.
2045 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2046 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2048 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2051 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2054 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2056 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2057 interpret 034 as octal.
2059 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2061 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2062 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2064 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2065 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2067 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2068 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2070 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2071 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2073 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2074 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2076 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2077 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2078 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2080 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2081 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2082 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2084 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2086 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2088 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2089 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2092 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2094 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2095 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2097 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2098 header field information.
2100 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2101 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2103 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2104 values when parsing a content.
2106 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2107 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2109 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2110 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2112 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2113 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2115 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2116 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2118 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2120 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2122 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2124 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2126 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2127 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2130 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2131 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2133 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2134 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2135 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2136 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2137 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2138 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2141 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2143 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2144 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2145 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2147 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2148 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2150 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2152 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2153 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2154 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2155 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2157 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2158 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2161 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2162 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2163 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2164 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2167 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2169 * Released nmh-0.27.
2171 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2172 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2174 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2175 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2176 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2177 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2180 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2181 mhbuild returns an error.
2183 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2184 rename the draft file.
2186 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2187 use a global variable.
2189 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2190 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2192 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2193 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2195 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2196 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2197 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2199 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2200 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2202 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2203 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2206 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2207 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2210 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2211 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2213 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2214 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2215 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2217 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2218 to new function output_content_folder.
2220 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2221 new function output_content_file.
2223 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2224 to new function parse_format_string.
2226 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2227 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2228 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2229 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2231 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2232 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2233 message/external file from ftp.
2235 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2236 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2237 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2239 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2240 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2243 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2246 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2247 new file mhstoresbr.c
2249 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2252 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2253 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2255 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2256 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2258 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2259 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2260 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2262 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2264 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2266 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2267 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2270 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2271 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2273 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2276 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2278 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2280 * Released nmh-0.26.
2282 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2283 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2284 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2285 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2287 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2288 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2289 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2290 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2291 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2293 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2294 But it is not on by default.
2296 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2297 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2299 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2301 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2303 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2305 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2307 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2308 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2310 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2312 * Released nmh-0.25.
2314 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2315 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2316 uses the original name of the library.
2318 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2319 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2322 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2323 list_content and list_debug.
2325 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2327 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2328 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2330 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2332 * Released nmh-0.24.
2334 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2336 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2337 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2339 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2340 large sequence line.
2342 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2344 * Released nmh-0.23.
2346 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2348 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2349 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2350 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2351 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2353 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2354 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2357 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2359 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2361 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2363 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2364 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2366 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2367 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2369 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2370 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2372 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2373 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2375 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2377 * Released nmh-0.22.
2379 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2380 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2382 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2384 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2385 mh-profile(5) man page.
2387 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2388 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2390 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2392 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2394 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2395 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2397 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2399 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2400 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2401 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2403 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2404 source message on the standard input.
2406 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2408 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2409 rather than -rfc934mode.
2411 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2412 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2415 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2416 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2418 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2421 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2423 * Released nmh-0.21.
2425 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2426 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2428 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2431 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2432 to use for text contents.
2434 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2436 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2440 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2442 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2443 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2445 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2446 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2447 spaces between encoded word are.
2449 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2451 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2452 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2454 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2455 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2456 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2458 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2460 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2461 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2463 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2465 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2467 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2468 ISO-8859-X character set.
2470 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2473 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2474 permissions, not write permissions.
2476 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2477 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2479 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2482 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2484 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2486 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2487 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2489 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2490 message contains valid character set.
2492 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2493 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2495 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2496 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2498 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2499 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2500 between an encoded word and normal text.
2502 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2503 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2505 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2506 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2508 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2511 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2512 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2515 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2516 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2518 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2519 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2521 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2523 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525 * Released nmh-0.20.
2527 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2529 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2531 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2532 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2533 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2535 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2536 and the To: line was missing.
2538 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2540 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2542 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2544 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2545 watch the POP transaction.
2547 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2548 first, and use it if available.
2550 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2551 first, and use it if available.
2553 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2555 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2557 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2558 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2559 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2562 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2563 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2564 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2566 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2567 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2570 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2572 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2573 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2575 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2577 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2578 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2580 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2581 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2582 message to which you are replying.
2584 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2585 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2586 making group replies.
2588 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2590 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2592 * Released nmh-0.19.
2594 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2595 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2597 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2598 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2599 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2600 to the end of the man page.
2602 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2603 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2604 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2605 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2606 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2607 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2609 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2612 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2613 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2614 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2616 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2617 the next available number above the message number you wish
2620 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2621 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2623 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2624 file sbr/seq_print.c
2626 * flist will now update the current folder.
2628 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2629 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2630 but now undocumented.
2632 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2635 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2636 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2638 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2640 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2641 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2643 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2645 * Released nmh-0.18.
2647 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2648 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2649 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2651 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2652 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2654 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2655 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2656 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2657 previous public/private status.
2659 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2662 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2665 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2666 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2667 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2669 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2670 take option to determine whether it should get current
2671 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2672 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2674 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2676 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2677 wait for stopped processes.
2679 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2680 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2682 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2686 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2687 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2689 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2690 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2692 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2693 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2694 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2695 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2697 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2700 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2703 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2705 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2706 the debugging output.
2708 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2709 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2711 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2713 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2715 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2716 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2718 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2720 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2721 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2722 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2723 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2724 in the given sequence.
2726 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2727 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2728 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2729 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2730 subdirectories of a given directory.
2732 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2733 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2734 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2736 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2737 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2739 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2741 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2744 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2745 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2746 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2748 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2749 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2750 are calculated at runtime.
2752 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2754 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2756 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2757 about checking for global mh.profile.
2759 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2760 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2761 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2762 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2763 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2764 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2766 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2767 adding message to folder itself.
2769 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2770 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2771 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2774 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2775 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2778 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2779 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2780 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2782 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2783 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2785 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2786 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2787 code to use it yet).

2837 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2839 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2840 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2842 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2845 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2846 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2848 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2849 number of refiled message.

2864 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2866 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2867 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2868 deal with binary messages, yet).
2870 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2872 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2874 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2875 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2876 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2877 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2878 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2879 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2881 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2882 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

2902 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2904 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2917 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2919 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters

2923 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2924 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2926 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2927 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2929 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2931 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since

2934 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2935 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2936 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2937 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2939 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2940 and put in own subroutine.
2942 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2943 and put in own subroutine.

2946 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2947 refile.c to use new routine.

2951 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2953 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2956 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2957 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2958 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2960 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2963 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2978 selected messages to a sequence.
2980 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2983 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2985 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2986 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2988 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2990 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3027 * Released nmh-0.13.
3029 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3030 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3031 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3032 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3035 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3036 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3038 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3041 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3043 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3045 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3070 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3071 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3073 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3074 will suppress the display of the message header.
3076 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3078 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3079 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3081 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3083 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3085 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3087 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3088 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3090 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3091 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3093 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3095 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3097 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3098 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3100 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3101 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3103 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Released nmh-0.10.

3115 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3117 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3118 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3120 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3125 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3126 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3128 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3130 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3160 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3161 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3163 * Released nmh-0.08.
3165 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3166 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3167 locking database itself.

3171 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3173 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3174 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3177 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3178 rather than mmdf format.
3180 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3181 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3182 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3183 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3185 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3187 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3189 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3192 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3193 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3194 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3196 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3197 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

3200 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3202 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3203 can still easily change this in config.h).
3205 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3206 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3207 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3209 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3211 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3226 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3228 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3229 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3232 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3233 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3246 * Released nmh-0.06.
3248 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3249 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3251 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3252 many such machines around anymore.
3254 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3255 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3257 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3258 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3260 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3262 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3263 pre-generated version if necessary.
3265 * Released nmh-0.05.
3267 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3268 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3269 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3270 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3272 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3273 be linked in one pass.
3275 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3277 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3278 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3280 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3282 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3284 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3286 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3287 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3288 become the current folder.
3290 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3292 * Released nmh-0.04.
3294 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3297 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3300 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3301 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3303 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3306 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3308 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3310 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3311 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3314 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3315 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3317 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3319 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3320 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3321 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3322 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3323 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3324 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3326 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3328 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3329 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3331 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3332 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3334 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3336 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3337 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3339 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3341 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3342 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3343 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3345 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3347 * Released nmh-0.03.
3349 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3350 .mh_sequence file existed.
3352 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3353 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3355 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3356 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3359 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3361 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3364 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3366 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3367 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3368 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3370 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3372 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3373 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3374 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3376 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3378 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3379 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3381 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3383 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3385 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3386 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3387 directory from where the source code is located.
3389 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3391 * Released nmh-0.02.

3419 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3421 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3452 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3453 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3455 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3457 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3458 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3459 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3460 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3461 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3462 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3464 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3466 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3468 * Released nmh-0.01.
3470 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions

3472 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3475 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3483 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3485 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3487 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3488 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3489 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3490 script to find_program.
3492 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3494 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3495 speed up -recurse option.
3497 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3498 yet, but it compiles :-)
3500 * Changed default location for install to
3501 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3502 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3503 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3506 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3507 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3508 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
