3 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
4 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
5 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
6 should make maintainability easier.
8 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
9 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
10 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
11 whatever you know works.
13 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
15 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
16 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
17 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
19 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
20 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
21 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
22 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
24 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
25 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
26 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
28 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
29 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
30 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
31 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
32 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
34 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
35 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
36 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
37 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
38 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
39 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
40 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
41 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
44 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
45 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
46 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
48 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
51 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
54 This happens on solaris:
57 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
58 No manual entry for mts.conf.
62 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
64 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
65 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
67 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
69 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
70 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
71 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
72 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
73 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
74 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
75 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
76 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
77 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
78 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
79 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
81 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
82 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
83 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
84 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
85 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
86 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
89 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
90 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
91 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
92 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
93 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
95 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
96 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
98 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
100 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
101 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
102 to stdin, such as exmh.
104 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
105 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
106 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
109 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
111 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
112 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
113 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
114 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
115 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
116 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
117 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
119 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
121 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
122 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
124 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
126 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
127 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
129 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
131 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
134 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
135 along with any -host or -user option.
137 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
139 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
141 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
142 process was fresh in my mind.
144 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
146 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
147 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
149 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
151 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
153 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
156 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
157 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
158 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
159 part of the program's name.
161 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
162 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
165 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
167 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
168 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
169 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
170 single-character format would cause programs using this
171 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
172 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
173 when the format string was one character. This eventually
174 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
177 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
179 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
180 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
181 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
182 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
183 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
184 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
186 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
187 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
188 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
189 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
190 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
191 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
192 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
193 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
195 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
196 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
197 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
198 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
199 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
200 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
201 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
202 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
203 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
204 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
206 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
208 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
209 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
211 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
212 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
214 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
219 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
221 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
222 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
223 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
224 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
226 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
227 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
228 problem in the routine.
230 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
232 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
233 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
235 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
236 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
237 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
240 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
242 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
243 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
244 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
245 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
246 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
247 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
248 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
249 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
250 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
251 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
253 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
255 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
256 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
257 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
258 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
259 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
260 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
261 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
262 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
263 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
264 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
265 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
266 interesting than a duplication of the default.
268 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
269 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
270 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
271 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
272 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
274 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
277 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
279 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
280 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
281 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
282 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
285 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
287 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
289 * Applied, after some finessing,
290 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
292 Here's a patch that allows you to add
294 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
296 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
297 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
298 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
299 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
301 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
303 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
304 forgetting to do so!).
306 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
307 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
308 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
309 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
310 arguments to enable all three types.
312 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
313 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
315 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
316 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
317 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
318 updated copy of mts.conf.
320 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
322 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
323 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
324 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
326 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
328 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
330 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
331 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
332 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
334 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
335 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
336 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
338 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
339 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
340 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
342 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
344 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
346 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
348 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
350 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
351 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
353 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
354 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
355 certain suffix to run properly.
357 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
358 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
359 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
361 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
362 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
363 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
364 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
365 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
366 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
367 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
369 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
371 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
372 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
373 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
374 until some year far in the future).
376 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
378 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
380 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
381 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
383 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
384 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
387 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
389 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
390 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
391 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
392 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
393 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
394 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
396 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
398 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
400 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
401 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
402 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
404 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
405 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
406 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
407 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
408 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
409 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
412 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
413 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
414 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
415 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
416 of masquerading individually.
418 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
419 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
420 GECOS field delimiters.
422 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
424 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
425 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
426 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
427 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
428 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
429 and explaining the feature.
431 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
433 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
434 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
437 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
438 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
439 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
441 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
442 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
443 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
444 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
446 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
447 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
448 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
451 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
453 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
456 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
458 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
460 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
461 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
462 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
463 quotes embedded in them.
465 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
467 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
468 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
469 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
470 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
471 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
472 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
473 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
476 The other theory is that because you can say something like
477 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
478 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
479 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
480 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
482 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
484 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
486 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
487 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
488 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
489 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
491 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
494 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
496 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
498 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
500 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
501 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
502 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
504 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
507 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
509 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
510 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
511 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
512 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
513 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
514 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
516 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
517 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
519 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
521 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
524 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
526 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
527 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
528 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
531 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
532 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
533 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
534 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
535 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
536 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
537 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
538 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
539 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
540 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
541 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
542 processing that post has).
544 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
546 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
547 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
548 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
549 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
550 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
551 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
554 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
556 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
558 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
560 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
562 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
563 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
565 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
568 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
570 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
571 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
572 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
575 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
577 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
578 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
579 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
580 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
581 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
582 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
584 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
586 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
588 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
590 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
591 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
592 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
593 caught again. This works for now.
595 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
597 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
599 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
600 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
602 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
604 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
605 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
607 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
609 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
611 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
613 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
614 changes. Both need more cleanup.
616 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
618 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
619 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
620 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
621 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
622 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
625 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
627 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
628 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
629 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
631 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
632 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
635 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
637 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
638 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
639 to a directory on another device with more free space.
641 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
643 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
644 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
646 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
648 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
651 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
652 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
654 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
655 macros, regardless of platform.
657 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
658 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
660 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
661 with x-conversions=gzip.
663 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
665 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
668 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
669 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
670 implicit definition of ioctl().
672 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
673 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
674 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
675 want to mess with them.
677 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
679 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
680 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
682 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
683 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
685 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
686 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
687 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
689 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
690 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
691 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
693 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
696 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
699 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
700 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
703 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
704 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
707 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
708 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
712 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
714 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
715 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
716 preventing compilation on at least linux.
718 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
719 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
721 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
723 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
725 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
726 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
727 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
728 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
730 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
731 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
733 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
735 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
737 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
739 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
740 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
742 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
744 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
745 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
747 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
748 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
749 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
750 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
752 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
753 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
755 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
757 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
758 substitute it for mktemp if available.
760 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
762 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
763 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
766 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
768 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
770 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
772 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
773 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
775 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
776 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
777 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
779 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
780 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
781 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
783 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
784 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
785 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
787 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
788 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
791 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
792 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
794 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
795 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
797 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
800 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
801 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
802 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
804 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
805 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
807 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
808 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
809 <elleron@servtech.com>.
811 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
812 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
815 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
816 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
818 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
819 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
820 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
821 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
823 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
824 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
826 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
830 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
831 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
832 would not be changed.
834 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
835 one from the Apache web server.
837 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
838 (this should have been done a long time ago).
840 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
841 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
842 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
844 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
846 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
848 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
849 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
852 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
853 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
854 removes a bad race condition.
856 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
859 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
860 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
861 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
863 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
864 sequence information.
866 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
867 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
869 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
872 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
875 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
877 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
878 interpret 034 as octal.
880 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
882 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
883 mhstore, and mhbuild.
885 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
886 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
888 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
889 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
891 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
892 in the c_cefile structure when building.
894 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
895 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
897 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
898 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
899 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
901 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
902 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
903 and mhshow. Updated man pages
905 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
907 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
909 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
910 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
913 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
915 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
916 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
918 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
919 header field information.
921 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
922 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
924 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
925 values when parsing a content.
927 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
928 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
930 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
931 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
933 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
934 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
936 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
937 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
939 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
941 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
943 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
945 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
947 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
948 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
951 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
952 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
954 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
955 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
956 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
957 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
958 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
959 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
962 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
964 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
965 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
966 buffer length checks for this parameter.
968 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
969 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
971 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
973 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
974 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
975 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
976 of the limits on the length of command lines.
978 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
979 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
982 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
983 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
984 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
985 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
988 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
992 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
993 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
995 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
996 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
997 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
998 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1001 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1002 mhbuild returns an error.
1004 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1005 rename the draft file.
1007 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1008 use a global variable.
1010 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1011 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1013 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1014 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1016 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1017 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1018 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1020 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1021 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1023 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1024 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1027 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1028 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1031 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1032 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1034 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1035 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1036 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1038 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1039 to new function output_content_folder.
1041 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1042 new function output_content_file.
1044 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1045 to new function parse_format_string.
1047 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1048 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1049 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1050 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1052 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1053 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1054 message/external file from ftp.
1056 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1057 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1058 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1060 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1061 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1064 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1067 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1068 new file mhstoresbr.c
1070 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1073 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1074 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1076 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1077 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1079 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1080 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1081 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1083 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1085 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1087 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1088 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1091 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1092 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1094 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1097 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1099 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1101 * Released nmh-0.26.
1103 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1104 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1105 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1106 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1108 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1109 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1110 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1111 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1112 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1114 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1115 But it is not on by default.
1117 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1118 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1120 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1122 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1124 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1126 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1128 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1129 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1131 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1133 * Released nmh-0.25.
1135 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1136 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1137 uses the original name of the library.
1139 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1140 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1143 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1144 list_content and list_debug.
1146 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1148 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1149 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1151 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1153 * Released nmh-0.24.
1155 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1157 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1158 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1160 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1161 large sequence line.

1167 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1169 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1170 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1171 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1172 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1174 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1175 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1178 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1180 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1182 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1184 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1185 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1187 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1188 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1190 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1191 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1193 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)

1201 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1203 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1205 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1206 mh-profile(5) man page.

1215 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1216 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1218 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1220 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1221 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1222 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1224 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1225 source message on the standard input.
1227 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1229 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1230 rather than -rfc934mode.
1232 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1233 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1236 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1237 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1239 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1242 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1244 * Released nmh-0.21.
1246 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1247 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1249 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1252 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1253 to use for text contents.
1255 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1257 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1259 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1261 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1263 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1264 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1266 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1267 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1268 spaces between encoded word are.
1270 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1272 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1273 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1275 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1276 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1277 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1279 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1281 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1282 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1284 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1286 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1288 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1289 ISO-8859-X character set.
1291 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1294 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1295 permissions, not write permissions.
1297 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1298 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1300 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1303 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1305 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1307 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1308 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1310 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1311 message contains valid character set.
1313 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1314 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1316 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1317 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1319 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1320 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1321 between an encoded word and normal text.
1323 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1324 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1326 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1327 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1329 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1332 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1333 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1336 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1337 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1339 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1340 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1342 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1344 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1346 * Released nmh-0.20.
1348 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1350 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1352 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1353 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1354 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1356 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1357 and the To: line was missing.
1359 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1361 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1363 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1365 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1366 watch the POP transaction.
1368 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1369 first, and use it if available.
1371 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1372 first, and use it if available.
1374 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1376 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1378 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1379 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1380 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1383 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1384 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1385 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1387 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1388 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1391 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1393 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1394 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1396 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1398 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1399 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1401 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1402 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1403 message to which you are replying.
1405 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1406 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1407 making group replies.
1409 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1411 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1413 * Released nmh-0.19.
1415 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1416 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1418 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1419 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1420 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1421 to the end of the man page.
1423 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1424 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1425 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1426 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1427 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1428 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1430 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1433 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1434 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1435 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1437 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1438 the next available number above the message number you wish
1441 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1442 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1444 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1445 file sbr/seq_print.c
1447 * flist will now update the current folder.
1449 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1450 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1451 but now undocumented.
1453 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1456 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1457 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1459 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1461 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1462 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1464 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1466 * Released nmh-0.18.
1468 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1469 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1470 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1472 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1473 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1475 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1476 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1477 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1478 previous public/private status.
1480 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1483 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1486 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1487 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1488 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1490 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1491 take option to determine whether it should get current
1492 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1493 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1495 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1497 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1498 wait for stopped processes.
1500 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1501 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1503 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1505 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1507 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1508 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1510 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1511 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1513 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1514 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1515 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1516 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1518 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1521 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1524 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1526 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1527 the debugging output.
1529 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1530 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1532 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1534 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1536 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1537 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1539 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1541 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1542 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1543 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1544 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1545 in the given sequence.
1547 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1548 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1549 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1550 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1551 subdirectories of a given directory.
1553 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1554 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1555 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1557 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1558 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1560 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1562 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1565 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1566 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1567 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1569 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1570 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1571 are calculated at runtime.
1573 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1575 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1577 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1578 about checking for global mh.profile.
1580 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1581 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1582 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1583 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1584 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1585 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1587 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1588 adding message to folder itself.
1590 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1591 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1592 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1595 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1596 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1599 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1600 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1601 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1603 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1604 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1606 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1607 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1608 code to use it yet).
1610 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1612 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1614 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1615 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1617 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1618 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1620 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1622 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1625 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1627 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1629 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1631 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1633 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1634 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1636 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1638 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1640 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1642 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1644 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1646 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1647 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1649 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1650 configuration files.
1652 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1654 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1656 * Released nmh-0.17.
1658 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1660 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1661 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1663 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1666 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1667 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1669 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1670 number of refiled message.
1672 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1674 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1675 for return value of wait().
1677 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1679 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1681 * Released nmh-0.16.
1683 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1685 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1687 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1688 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1689 deal with binary messages, yet).
1691 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1693 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1695 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1696 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1697 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1698 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1699 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1700 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1702 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1703 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1705 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1706 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1708 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1709 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1712 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1714 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1716 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1717 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1720 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1723 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1725 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1726 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1727 which used unsigned chars by default.
1729 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1731 * Released nmh-0.15.
1733 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1734 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1736 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1738 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1740 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1743 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1744 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1745 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1747 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1748 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1750 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1752 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1753 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1755 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1756 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1757 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1758 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1760 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1761 and put in own subroutine.
1763 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1764 and put in own subroutine.
1766 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1767 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1768 refile.c to use new routine.
1770 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1772 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1774 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1777 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1778 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1779 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1781 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1784 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1785 adding message to sequence.
1787 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1788 corresponding file in sbr.
1790 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1793 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.

1897 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1899 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

1916 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1918 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1919 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1921 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

1998 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1999 rather than mmdf format.
2001 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2002 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2003 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with

2017 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2018 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2021 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2023 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2024 can still easily change this in config.h).
2026 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2027 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2028 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2030 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2047 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2049 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2050 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2053 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2054 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2067 * Released nmh-0.06.
2069 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2070 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2072 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2073 many such machines around anymore.
2075 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2076 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2078 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2079 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2081 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2084 pre-generated version if necessary.
2086 * Released nmh-0.05.
2088 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2089 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2090 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2091 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2093 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2094 be linked in one pass.
2096 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2098 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2099 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2101 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2103 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2105 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2107 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2108 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2109 become the current folder.
2111 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2113 * Released nmh-0.04.

2118 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2120 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2121 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2122 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2124 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2126 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2127 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2129 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2131 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2132 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2135 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2136 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2138 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2140 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2141 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2142 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2143 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2144 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2145 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2147 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2149 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2150 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2152 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2153 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2155 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2157 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2158 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2160 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2162 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2163 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2164 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2166 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2168 * Released nmh-0.03.
2170 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2171 .mh_sequence file existed.
2173 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2174 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2176 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2177 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2180 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2182 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2185 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2187 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2188 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2189 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2191 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2193 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2194 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2195 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2197 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2199 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2200 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2202 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2204 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2206 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2207 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2208 directory from where the source code is located.
2210 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2212 * Released nmh-0.02.

2232 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2233 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2234 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2235 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2236 rather than in script.
2238 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2240 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2242 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2247 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2248 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2250 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2251 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2252 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2253 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2256 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2258 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2259 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.

2264 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2266 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2268 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

2273 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2274 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2276 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2278 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2279 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2280 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2281 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2282 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2283 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2285 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2287 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2289 * Released nmh-0.01.
2291 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2292 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2293 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2296 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2298 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2301 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2303 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2304 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2306 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2308 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2309 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2310 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2311 script to find_program.
2313 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2315 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2316 speed up -recurse option.
2318 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2319 yet, but it compiles :-)
2321 * Changed default location for install to
2322 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2323 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2324 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2327 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2328 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2329 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
