1 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
4 problems on some systems
6 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
7 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
9 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
11 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
12 sendmail isn't found during build.
14 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
16 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
18 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
20 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
21 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
23 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
24 references to the web page and mailing list locations
26 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
27 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
29 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
32 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
34 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
35 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
36 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
38 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
39 was configured with --enable-apop.
41 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
42 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
43 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
45 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
48 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
49 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
50 doesn't guess wrongly.
52 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
54 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
55 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
57 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
58 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
60 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
61 files with numbers as names
63 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
65 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
67 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
69 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
71 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
72 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
74 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
76 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
79 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
80 test/report error writing to stdout
82 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
84 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
86 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
87 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
88 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
90 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
91 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
92 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
94 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
96 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
97 character set used by the current locale
99 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
100 message's filename overflows an int when converted
102 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
103 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
105 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
107 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
110 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
112 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
113 from Michael Richardson.
115 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
116 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
118 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
120 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
121 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
123 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
125 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
126 find sub-parts of the specified part
128 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
130 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
131 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
132 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
133 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
134 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
135 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
136 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
139 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
141 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
142 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
143 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
146 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
147 refiling with -src option.
149 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
151 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
153 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
155 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
156 mailpath being overwritten.
158 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
160 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
161 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
162 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
163 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
164 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
165 reinitializes the tmp file string.
167 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
168 if a format string was read from the profile.
170 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
171 path for the external hook.
173 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
175 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
176 another location for ndbm.
178 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
180 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
182 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
184 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
187 136976 - Handle binary content messages
188 143427 - mh-format.man typo
189 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
190 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
191 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
192 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
193 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
194 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
195 181867 - typo for nmh.man
197 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
199 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
200 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
201 contitional code which will result in cached data to
202 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
203 and parse on the first use.
204 * Remove some unused flag bits.
206 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
208 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
209 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
211 #578 - repl leaks umask
212 #1393 - sortm core dumps
213 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
214 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
215 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
217 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
218 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
220 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
222 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
223 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
225 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
227 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
228 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
229 to docs/README.about.
231 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
233 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
235 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
236 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
237 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
238 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
241 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
243 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
244 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
245 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
246 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
247 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
248 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
251 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
252 summary configure prints out.
254 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
255 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
256 subjectively more readable) format.
258 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
260 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
263 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
265 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
266 19xx when it's not necessary.
268 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
271 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
274 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
275 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
276 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
277 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
278 the man pages correctly.
280 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
282 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
284 * Finished manpages ali-prev
286 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
287 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
288 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
291 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
292 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
293 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
294 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
296 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
298 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
299 the formatting rules I've been using.
303 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
305 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
306 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
307 used in the manpages.
309 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
310 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
311 read in the contents of the file as the variable
314 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
315 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
316 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
317 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
318 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
319 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
320 bold flags and italicized parameters.
322 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
324 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
325 --with-locking option.
327 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
328 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
329 information was not being communicated to the
330 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
331 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
332 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
333 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
334 undefined symbols problems.
336 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
337 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
338 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
339 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
340 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
341 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
342 for a genuine krb4 installation.
344 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
346 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
347 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
349 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
351 * Made a new ./configure option called
352 "--with-locking" that allows the file
353 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
354 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
356 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
357 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
358 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
359 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
360 the user that these are the valid options, and
361 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
364 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
366 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
367 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
368 committed to supporting flex only, since
369 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
370 string, as well as other problems documented
371 below and on nmh-workers.
373 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
374 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
375 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
378 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
379 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
381 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
383 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
384 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
385 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
387 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
389 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
390 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
392 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
394 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
395 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
396 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
397 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
398 couldn't correctly identify them.
400 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
402 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
403 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
404 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
405 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
406 not depending on an external archive.
408 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
409 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
410 mts/generic is no longer built.
412 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
414 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
415 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
416 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
417 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
418 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
419 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
420 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
421 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
423 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
425 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
426 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
429 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
431 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
432 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
433 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
436 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
437 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
438 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
439 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
441 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
442 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
443 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
444 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
445 merged into the smtp code).
447 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
448 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
449 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
452 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
453 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
454 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
455 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
456 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
457 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
458 in the appropriate Makefile.in
460 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
462 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
463 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
464 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
465 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
466 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
467 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
468 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
469 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
470 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
471 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
472 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
474 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
476 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
477 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
478 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
479 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
480 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
481 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
482 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
483 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
484 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
486 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
488 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
489 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
492 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
494 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
495 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
497 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
499 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
500 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
501 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
502 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
504 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
506 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
507 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
508 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
509 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
510 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
512 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
513 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
515 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
517 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
519 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
520 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
521 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
522 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
524 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
525 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
526 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
527 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
529 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
530 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
531 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
532 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
534 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
535 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
536 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
538 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
540 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
541 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
542 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
543 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
544 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
545 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
548 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
549 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
551 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
552 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
554 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
556 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
558 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
560 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
561 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
562 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
563 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
565 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
567 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
568 be easily changed from "," to "#".
570 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
572 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
574 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
575 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
578 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
580 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
581 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
582 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
583 but not for the subsequent data stream.
585 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
587 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
588 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
589 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
590 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
591 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
593 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
595 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
596 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
598 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
599 cat, also define lorder as echo.
601 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
603 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
606 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
607 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
609 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
611 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
614 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
615 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
617 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
619 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
620 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
622 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
624 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
625 inc does not need to be setgid.
627 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
629 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
630 library, as found on Debian systems.
632 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
634 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
636 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
637 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
638 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
639 case-insensitivity flag.
641 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
643 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
644 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
646 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
648 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
649 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
650 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
651 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
652 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
653 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
654 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
655 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
656 getting moved aside).
658 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
659 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
661 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
663 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
664 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
665 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
666 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
667 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
668 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
669 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
670 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
671 the prototype, but never sets it.
673 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
674 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
675 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
676 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
677 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
678 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
680 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
681 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
682 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
683 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
684 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
686 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
688 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
689 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
692 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
693 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
694 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
695 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
696 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
697 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
698 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
700 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
702 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
704 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
705 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
706 this works on other systems.
708 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
710 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
711 checks for write failures.
713 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
715 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
717 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
720 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
722 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
724 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
726 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
727 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
730 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
732 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
733 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
734 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
735 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
737 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
739 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
740 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
743 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
744 as well as Makefiles.
746 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
748 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
749 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
750 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
751 should make maintainability easier.
753 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
754 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
755 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
756 whatever you know works.
758 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
760 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
761 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
762 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
764 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
765 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
766 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
767 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
769 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
770 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
771 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
773 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
774 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
775 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
776 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
777 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
779 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
780 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
781 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
782 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
783 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
784 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
785 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
786 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
787 from the BSD version.
789 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
790 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
791 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
793 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
796 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
799 This happens on solaris:
802 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
803 No manual entry for mts.conf.
807 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
809 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
810 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
812 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
814 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
815 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
816 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
817 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
818 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
819 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
820 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
821 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
822 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
823 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
824 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
826 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
827 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
828 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
829 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
830 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
831 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
834 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
835 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
836 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
837 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
838 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
840 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
841 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
843 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
845 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
846 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
847 to stdin, such as exmh.
849 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
850 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
851 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
854 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
856 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
857 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
858 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
859 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
860 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
861 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
862 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
864 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
866 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
867 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
869 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
872 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
874 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
876 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
879 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
880 along with any -host or -user option.
882 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
884 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
886 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
887 process was fresh in my mind.
889 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
891 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
892 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
894 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
896 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
898 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
901 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
902 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
903 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
904 part of the program's name.
906 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
907 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
910 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
912 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
913 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
914 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
915 single-character format would cause programs using this
916 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
917 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
918 when the format string was one character. This eventually
919 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
922 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
924 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
925 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
926 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
927 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
928 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
929 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
931 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
932 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
933 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
934 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
935 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
936 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
937 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
938 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
940 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
941 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
942 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
943 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
944 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
945 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
946 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
947 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
948 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
949 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
951 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
954 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
956 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
957 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
959 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
964 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
966 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
967 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
968 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
969 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
971 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
972 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
973 problem in the routine.
975 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
977 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
978 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
980 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
981 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
982 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
985 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
987 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
988 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
989 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
990 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
991 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
992 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
993 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
994 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
995 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
996 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
998 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1000 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1001 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1002 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1003 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1004 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1005 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1006 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1007 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1008 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1009 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1010 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1011 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1013 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1014 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1015 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1016 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1017 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1019 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1022 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1024 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1025 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1026 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1027 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1030 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1032 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1034 * Applied, after some finessing,
1035 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1037 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1039 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1041 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1042 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1043 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1044 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1046 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1048 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1049 forgetting to do so!).
1051 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1052 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1053 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1054 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1055 arguments to enable all three types.
1057 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1058 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1060 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1061 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1062 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1063 updated copy of mts.conf.
1065 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1067 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1068 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1069 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1071 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1073 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1075 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1076 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1077 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1079 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1080 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1081 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1083 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1084 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1085 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1087 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1089 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1091 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1093 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1095 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1096 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1098 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1099 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1100 certain suffix to run properly.
1102 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1103 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1104 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1106 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1107 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1108 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1109 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1110 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1111 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1112 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1114 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1116 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1117 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1118 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1119 until some year far in the future).
1121 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1123 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1125 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1126 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1128 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1129 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1132 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1134 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1135 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1136 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1137 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1138 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1139 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1141 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1143 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1145 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1146 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1147 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1149 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1150 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1151 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1152 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1153 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1154 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1157 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1158 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1159 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1160 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1161 of masquerading individually.
1163 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1164 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1165 GECOS field delimiters.
1167 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1169 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1170 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1171 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1172 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1173 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1174 and explaining the feature.
1176 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1178 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1179 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1182 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1183 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1184 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1186 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1187 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1188 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1189 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1191 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1192 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1193 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1196 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1198 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1199 code to be executed.
1201 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1203 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1205 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1206 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1207 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1208 quotes embedded in them.
1210 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1212 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1213 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1214 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1215 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1216 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1217 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1218 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1221 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1222 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1223 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1224 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1225 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1227 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1229 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1231 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1232 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1233 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1234 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1236 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1239 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1241 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1243 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1245 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1246 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1247 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1249 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1252 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1254 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1255 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1256 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1257 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1258 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1259 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1261 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1262 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1264 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1266 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1269 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1271 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1272 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1273 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1276 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1277 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1278 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1279 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1280 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1281 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1282 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1283 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1284 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1285 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1286 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1287 processing that post has).
1289 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1291 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1292 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1293 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1294 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1295 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1296 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1299 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1301 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1303 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1305 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1307 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1308 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1310 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1313 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1315 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1316 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1317 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1320 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1322 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1323 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1324 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1325 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1326 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1327 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1329 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1331 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1333 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1335 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1336 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1337 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1338 caught again. This works for now.
1340 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1342 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1344 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1345 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1347 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1349 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1350 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1352 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1354 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1356 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1358 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1359 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1361 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1363 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1364 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1365 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1366 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1367 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1370 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1372 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1373 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1374 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1376 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1377 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1380 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1382 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1383 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1384 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1386 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1388 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1389 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1391 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1393 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1396 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1397 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1399 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1400 macros, regardless of platform.
1402 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1403 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1405 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1406 with x-conversions=gzip.
1408 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1410 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1413 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1414 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1415 implicit definition of ioctl().
1417 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1418 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1419 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1420 want to mess with them.
1422 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1424 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1425 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1427 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1428 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1430 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1431 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1432 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1434 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1435 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1436 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1438 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1439 function initgroups.
1441 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1444 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1445 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1448 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1449 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1452 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1453 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1457 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1459 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1460 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1461 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1463 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1464 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1466 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1468 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1470 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1471 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1472 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1473 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1475 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1476 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1478 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1480 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1482 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1484 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1485 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1487 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1489 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1490 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1492 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1493 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1494 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1495 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1497 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1498 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1500 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1502 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1503 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1505 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1507 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1508 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1511 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1513 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1515 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1517 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1518 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1520 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1521 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1522 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1524 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1525 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1526 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1528 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1529 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1530 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1532 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1533 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1536 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1537 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1539 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1540 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1542 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1543 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1545 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1546 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1547 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1549 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1550 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1552 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1553 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1554 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1556 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1557 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1560 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1561 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1563 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1564 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1565 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1566 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1568 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1569 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1571 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1575 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1576 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1577 would not be changed.
1579 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1580 one from the Apache web server.
1582 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1583 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1585 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1586 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1587 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1589 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1591 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1593 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1594 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1597 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1598 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1599 removes a bad race condition.
1601 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1604 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1605 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1606 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1608 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1609 sequence information.
1611 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1612 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1614 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1617 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1620 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1622 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1623 interpret 034 as octal.
1625 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1627 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1628 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1630 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1631 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1633 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1634 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1636 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1637 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1639 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1640 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1642 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1643 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1644 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1646 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1647 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1648 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1650 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1652 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1654 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1655 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1658 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1660 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1661 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1663 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1664 header field information.
1666 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1667 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1669 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1670 values when parsing a content.
1672 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1673 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1675 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1676 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1678 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1679 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1681 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1682 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1684 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1686 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1688 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1690 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1692 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1693 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1696 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1697 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1699 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1700 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1701 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1702 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1703 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1704 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1707 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1709 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1710 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1711 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1713 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1714 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1716 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1718 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1719 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1720 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1721 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1723 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1724 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1727 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1728 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1729 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1730 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1733 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1735 * Released nmh-0.27.
1737 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1738 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1740 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1741 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1742 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1743 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1746 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1747 mhbuild returns an error.
1749 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1750 rename the draft file.
1752 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1753 use a global variable.
1755 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1756 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1758 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1759 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1761 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1762 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1763 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1765 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1766 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1768 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1769 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1772 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1773 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1776 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1777 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1779 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1780 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1781 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1783 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1784 to new function output_content_folder.
1786 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1787 new function output_content_file.
1789 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1790 to new function parse_format_string.
1792 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1793 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1794 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1795 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1797 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1798 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1799 message/external file from ftp.
1801 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1802 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1803 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1805 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1806 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1809 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1812 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1813 new file mhstoresbr.c
1815 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1818 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1819 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1821 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1822 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1824 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1825 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1826 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1828 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1830 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1832 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1833 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1836 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1837 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1839 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1842 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1844 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1846 * Released nmh-0.26.
1848 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1849 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1850 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1851 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1853 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1854 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1855 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1856 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1857 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1859 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1860 But it is not on by default.
1862 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1863 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1865 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1867 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1869 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1871 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1873 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1874 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1876 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1878 * Released nmh-0.25.
1880 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1881 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1882 uses the original name of the library.
1884 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1885 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1888 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1889 list_content and list_debug.
1891 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1893 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1894 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1896 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1898 * Released nmh-0.24.
1900 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1902 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1903 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1905 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1906 large sequence line.
1908 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1910 * Released nmh-0.23.
1912 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1914 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1915 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1916 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1917 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1919 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1920 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1923 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1925 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1927 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1929 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1930 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1932 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1933 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1935 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1936 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1938 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1939 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1941 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1943 * Released nmh-0.22.
1945 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1946 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1948 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1950 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1951 mh-profile(5) man page.
1953 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1954 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1956 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1958 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1960 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1961 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1963 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1965 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1966 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1967 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1969 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1970 source message on the standard input.
1972 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1974 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1975 rather than -rfc934mode.
1977 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1978 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1981 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1982 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1984 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1987 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1989 * Released nmh-0.21.
1991 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1992 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1994 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1997 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1998 to use for text contents.
2000 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2002 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2004 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2006 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2008 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2009 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2011 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2012 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2013 spaces between encoded word are.
2015 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2017 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2018 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2020 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2021 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2022 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2024 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2026 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2027 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2029 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2031 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2033 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2034 ISO-8859-X character set.
2036 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2039 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2040 permissions, not write permissions.
2042 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2043 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2045 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2048 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2050 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2052 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2053 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2055 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2056 message contains valid character set.
2058 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2059 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2061 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2062 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2064 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2065 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2066 between an encoded word and normal text.
2068 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2069 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2071 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2072 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2074 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2077 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2078 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2081 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2082 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2084 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2085 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2087 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2089 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2091 * Released nmh-0.20.
2093 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2095 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2097 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2098 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2099 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2101 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2102 and the To: line was missing.
2104 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2106 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2108 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2110 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2111 watch the POP transaction.
2113 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2114 first, and use it if available.
2116 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2117 first, and use it if available.
2119 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2121 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2123 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2124 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2125 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2128 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2129 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2130 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2132 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2133 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2136 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2138 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2139 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2141 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2143 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2144 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2146 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2147 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2148 message to which you are replying.
2150 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2151 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2152 making group replies.
2154 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2156 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2158 * Released nmh-0.19.
2160 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2161 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2163 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2164 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2165 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2166 to the end of the man page.
2168 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2169 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2170 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2171 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2172 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2173 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2175 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2178 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2179 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2180 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2182 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2183 the next available number above the message number you wish
2186 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2187 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2189 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2190 file sbr/seq_print.c
2192 * flist will now update the current folder.
2194 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2195 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2196 but now undocumented.
2198 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2201 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2202 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2204 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2206 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2207 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2209 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2211 * Released nmh-0.18.
2213 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2214 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2215 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2217 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2218 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2220 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2221 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2222 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2223 previous public/private status.
2225 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2228 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2231 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2232 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2233 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2235 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2236 take option to determine whether it should get current
2237 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2238 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2240 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2242 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2243 wait for stopped processes.
2245 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2246 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2248 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2250 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2252 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2253 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2255 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2256 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2258 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2259 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2260 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2261 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2263 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2266 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2269 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2271 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2272 the debugging output.
2274 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2275 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2277 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2279 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2281 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2282 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2284 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2286 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2287 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2288 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2289 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2290 in the given sequence.
2292 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2293 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2294 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2295 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2296 subdirectories of a given directory.
2298 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2299 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2300 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2302 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2303 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2305 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2307 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2310 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2311 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2312 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2314 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2315 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2316 are calculated at runtime.
2318 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2320 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2322 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2323 about checking for global mh.profile.
2325 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2326 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2327 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2328 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2329 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2330 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2332 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2333 adding message to folder itself.
2335 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2336 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2337 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2340 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2341 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2344 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2345 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2346 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2348 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2349 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2351 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2352 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2353 code to use it yet).
2355 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2357 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2359 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2360 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2362 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2363 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2365 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2367 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2370 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2372 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.

2376 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2378 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2379 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2383 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2385 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2387 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2389 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2391 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2392 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2394 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2395 configuration files.
2397 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2399 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2403 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2405 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2406 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2408 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2411 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2412 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2414 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2415 number of refiled message.
2417 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2419 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2420 for return value of wait().
2422 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2424 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2426 * Released nmh-0.16.
2428 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2430 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2432 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2433 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2434 deal with binary messages, yet).
2436 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2438 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2440 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2441 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2442 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2443 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2444 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2445 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2447 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2448 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2450 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2451 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2453 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2454 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2457 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2459 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2461 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2462 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2465 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2468 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2470 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2471 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2472 which used unsigned chars by default.
2474 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2476 * Released nmh-0.15.
2478 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2483 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2485 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2488 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2489 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2490 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2492 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2493 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2495 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2497 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2498 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2500 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2501 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2502 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2503 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2505 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2506 and put in own subroutine.
2508 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2509 and put in own subroutine.
2511 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2512 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2513 refile.c to use new routine.
2515 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2517 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2519 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2522 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2523 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2524 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2526 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2529 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2530 adding message to sequence.
2532 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2533 corresponding file in sbr.
2535 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2538 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2540 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2541 all selected messages from a sequence.
2543 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2544 selected messages to a sequence.
2546 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2549 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2551 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2552 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2554 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2556 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2573 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2574 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2575 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2576 environment variable.
2578 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2579 draft folder facility in nmh.
2581 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2584 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2593 * Released nmh-0.13.
2595 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2596 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2597 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2598 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2601 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2602 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2604 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2606 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2607 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2609 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2611 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2612 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2627 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2628 mp->attrstats with macros.
2630 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2633 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2636 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2637 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2639 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2640 will suppress the display of the message header.
2642 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2644 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2645 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2647 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2649 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2651 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2653 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2654 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2656 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2657 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2659 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2661 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2663 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2664 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2666 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2667 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2669 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2671 * Released nmh-0.10.

2678 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2681 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2683 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2684 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2686 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2687 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2689 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2691 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2692 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2694 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2696 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2701 * Released nmh-0.09.
2703 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2705 * Add configure check for killpg.

2717 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2719 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2721 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2722 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2724 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2726 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2727 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2729 * Released nmh-0.08.
2731 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2732 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2733 locking database itself.
2735 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2739 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2740 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2743 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2744 rather than mmdf format.
2746 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2747 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2748 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2749 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2751 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2753 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2755 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2758 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2759 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2760 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2762 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2763 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2764 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2766 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2768 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2769 can still easily change this in config.h).
2771 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2772 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2773 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2775 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2778 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2787 * Released nmh-0.07.
2789 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2791 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2792 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2794 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2795 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2798 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2799 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2801 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2802 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2804 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2806 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2808 * Added configure check for tzset.
2810 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Released nmh-0.06.
2814 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2815 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2817 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2818 many such machines around anymore.
2820 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2821 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2823 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2824 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2826 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2828 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2829 pre-generated version if necessary.
2831 * Released nmh-0.05.
2833 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2834 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2835 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2836 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2838 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2839 be linked in one pass.
2841 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2844 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2846 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2848 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2850 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2852 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2853 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2854 become the current folder.
2856 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2858 * Released nmh-0.04.
2860 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2863 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2865 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2866 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2867 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2869 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2871 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2872 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2874 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2876 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2877 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2880 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2881 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2883 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2885 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2886 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2887 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2888 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2889 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2890 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2892 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2894 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2895 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2897 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2898 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2900 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2902 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2903 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2905 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2907 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2908 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2909 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2911 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2913 * Released nmh-0.03.
2915 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2916 .mh_sequence file existed.
2918 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2919 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2921 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2922 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2925 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2927 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2930 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2932 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2933 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2934 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2936 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2938 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2939 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2940 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2942 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2944 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2945 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2947 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2949 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2951 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2952 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2953 directory from where the source code is located.
2955 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * Released nmh-0.02.
2959 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2964 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2966 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2967 and sys_nerr directly.
2969 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2971 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2973 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2975 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2978 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2979 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2980 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2981 rather than in script.
2983 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2985 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2987 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2988 macro defined on Solaris.
2990 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2992 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2993 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2995 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2996 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2997 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2998 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3001 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3004 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3006 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3009 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3011 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3013 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3014 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3016 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3019 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3021 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3023 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3024 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3025 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3026 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3027 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3028 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3030 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3032 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3034 * Released nmh-0.01.
3036 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3037 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3038 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3041 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3046 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3048 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3049 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3051 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3054 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3055 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3056 script to find_program.
3058 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3060 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3061 speed up -recurse option.
3063 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3064 yet, but it compiles :-)
3066 * Changed default location for install to
3067 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3068 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3069 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3072 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3073 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3074 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
