1 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
5 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
7 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
8 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
10 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
11 references to the web page and mailing list locations
13 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
14 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
16 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
19 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
21 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
22 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
23 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
25 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
26 was configured with --enable-apop.
28 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
29 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
30 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
32 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
35 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
36 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
37 doesn't guess wrongly.
39 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
41 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
42 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
44 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
45 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
47 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
48 files with numbers as names
50 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
52 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
54 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
56 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
58 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
59 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
61 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
63 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
66 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
67 test/report error writing to stdout
69 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
71 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
73 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
74 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
75 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
77 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
78 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
79 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
81 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
83 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
84 character set used by the current locale
86 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
87 message's filename overflows an int when converted
89 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
90 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
92 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
94 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
97 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
99 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
100 from Michael Richardson.
102 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
103 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
105 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
107 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
108 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
110 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
112 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
113 find sub-parts of the specified part
115 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
117 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
118 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
119 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
120 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
121 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
122 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
123 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
126 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
128 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
129 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
130 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
133 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
134 refiling with -src option.
136 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
138 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
140 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
142 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
143 mailpath being overwritten.
145 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
147 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
148 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
149 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
150 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
151 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
152 reinitializes the tmp file string.
154 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
155 if a format string was read from the profile.
157 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
158 path for the external hook.
160 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
162 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
163 another location for ndbm.
165 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
167 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
169 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
171 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
174 136976 - Handle binary content messages
175 143427 - mh-format.man typo
176 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
177 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
178 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
179 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
180 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
181 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
182 181867 - typo for nmh.man
184 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
186 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
187 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
188 contitional code which will result in cached data to
189 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
190 and parse on the first use.
191 * Remove some unused flag bits.
193 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
195 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
196 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
198 #578 - repl leaks umask
199 #1393 - sortm core dumps
200 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
201 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
202 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
204 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
205 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
207 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
209 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
210 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
212 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
214 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
215 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
216 to docs/README.about.
218 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
220 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
222 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
223 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
224 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
225 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
228 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
230 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
231 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
232 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
233 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
234 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
235 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
238 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
239 summary configure prints out.
241 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
242 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
243 subjectively more readable) format.
245 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
247 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
250 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
252 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
253 19xx when it's not necessary.
255 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
257 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
258 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
261 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
262 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
263 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
264 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
265 the man pages correctly.
267 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
269 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
271 * Finished manpages ali-prev
273 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
274 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
275 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
278 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
279 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
280 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
281 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
283 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
285 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
286 the formatting rules I've been using.
290 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
292 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
293 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
294 used in the manpages.
296 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
297 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
298 read in the contents of the file as the variable
301 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
302 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
303 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
304 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
305 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
306 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
307 bold flags and italicized parameters.
309 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
311 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
312 --with-locking option.
314 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
315 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
316 information was not being communicated to the
317 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
318 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
319 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
320 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
321 undefined symbols problems.
323 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
324 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
325 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
326 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
327 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
328 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
329 for a genuine krb4 installation.
331 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
333 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
334 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
336 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
338 * Made a new ./configure option called
339 "--with-locking" that allows the file
340 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
341 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
343 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
344 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
345 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
346 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
347 the user that these are the valid options, and
348 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
351 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
353 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
354 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
355 committed to supporting flex only, since
356 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
357 string, as well as other problems documented
358 below and on nmh-workers.
360 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
361 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
362 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
365 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
366 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
368 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
370 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
371 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
372 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
374 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
376 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
377 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
379 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
381 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
382 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
383 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
384 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
385 couldn't correctly identify them.
387 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
389 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
390 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
391 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
392 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
393 not depending on an external archive.
395 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
396 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
397 mts/generic is no longer built.
399 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
401 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
402 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
403 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
404 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
405 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
406 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
407 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
408 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
410 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
412 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
413 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
416 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
418 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
419 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
420 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
423 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
424 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
425 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
426 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
428 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
429 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
430 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
431 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
432 merged into the smtp code).
434 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
435 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
436 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
439 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
440 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
441 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
442 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
443 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
444 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
445 in the appropriate Makefile.in
447 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
449 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
450 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
451 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
452 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
453 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
454 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
455 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
456 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
457 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
458 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
459 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
461 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
463 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
464 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
465 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
466 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
467 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
468 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
469 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
470 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
471 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
473 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
475 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
476 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
479 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
481 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
482 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
484 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
486 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
487 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
488 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
489 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
491 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
493 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
494 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
495 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
496 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
497 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
499 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
500 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
502 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
504 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
506 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
507 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
508 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
509 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
511 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
512 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
513 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
514 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
516 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
517 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
518 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
519 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
521 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
522 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
523 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
525 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
527 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
528 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
529 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
530 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
531 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
532 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
535 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
536 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
538 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
539 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
541 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
543 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
545 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
547 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
548 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
549 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
550 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
552 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
554 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
555 be easily changed from "," to "#".
557 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
559 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
561 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
562 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
565 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
567 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
568 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
569 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
570 but not for the subsequent data stream.
572 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
574 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
575 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
576 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
577 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
578 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
580 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
582 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
583 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
585 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
586 cat, also define lorder as echo.
588 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
590 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
592 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
593 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
594 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
596 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
598 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
601 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
602 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
604 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
606 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
607 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
609 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
611 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
612 inc does not need to be setgid.
614 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
616 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
617 library, as found on Debian systems.
619 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
621 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
623 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
624 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
625 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
626 case-insensitivity flag.
628 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
630 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
631 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
633 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
635 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
636 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
637 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
638 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
639 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
640 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
641 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
642 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
643 getting moved aside).
645 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
646 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
648 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
650 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
651 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
652 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
653 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
654 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
655 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
656 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
657 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
658 the prototype, but never sets it.
660 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
661 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
662 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
663 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
664 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
665 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
667 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
668 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
669 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
670 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
671 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
673 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
675 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
676 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
679 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
680 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
681 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
682 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
683 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
684 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
685 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
687 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
689 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
691 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
692 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
693 this works on other systems.
695 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
697 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
698 checks for write failures.
700 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
702 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
704 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
707 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
709 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
711 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
713 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
714 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
717 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
719 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
720 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
721 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
722 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
724 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
726 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
727 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
730 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
731 as well as Makefiles.
733 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
735 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
736 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
737 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
738 should make maintainability easier.
740 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
741 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
742 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
743 whatever you know works.
745 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
747 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
748 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
749 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
751 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
752 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
753 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
754 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
756 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
757 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
758 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
760 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
761 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
762 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
763 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
764 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
766 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
767 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
768 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
769 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
770 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
771 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
772 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
773 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
774 from the BSD version.
776 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
777 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
778 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
780 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
783 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
786 This happens on solaris:
789 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
790 No manual entry for mts.conf.
794 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
796 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
797 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
799 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
801 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
802 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
803 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
804 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
805 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
806 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
807 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
808 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
809 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
810 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
811 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
813 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
814 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
815 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
816 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
817 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
818 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
821 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
822 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
823 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
824 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
825 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
827 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
828 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
830 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
832 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
833 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
834 to stdin, such as exmh.
836 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
837 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
838 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
841 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
843 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
844 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
845 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
846 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
847 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
848 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
849 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
851 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
853 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
854 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
856 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
858 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
859 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
861 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
863 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
866 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
867 along with any -host or -user option.
869 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
873 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
874 process was fresh in my mind.
876 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
878 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
879 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
881 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
883 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
885 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
888 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
889 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
890 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
891 part of the program's name.
893 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
894 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
897 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
899 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
900 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
901 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
902 single-character format would cause programs using this
903 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
904 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
905 when the format string was one character. This eventually
906 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
909 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
911 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
912 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
913 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
914 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
915 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
916 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
918 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
919 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
920 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
921 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
922 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
923 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
924 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
925 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
927 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
928 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
929 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
930 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
931 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
932 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
933 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
934 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
935 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
936 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
938 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
940 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
941 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
943 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
944 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
946 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
951 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
953 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
954 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
955 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
956 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
958 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
959 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
960 problem in the routine.
962 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
964 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
965 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
967 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
968 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
969 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
972 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
974 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
975 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
976 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
977 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
978 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
979 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
980 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
981 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
982 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
983 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
985 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
987 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
988 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
989 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
990 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
991 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
992 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
993 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
994 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
995 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
996 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
997 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
998 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1000 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1001 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1002 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1003 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1004 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1006 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1009 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1011 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1012 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1013 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1014 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1017 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1019 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1021 * Applied, after some finessing,
1022 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1024 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1026 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1028 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1029 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1030 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1031 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1033 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1035 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1036 forgetting to do so!).
1038 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1039 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1040 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1041 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1042 arguments to enable all three types.
1044 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1045 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1047 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1048 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1049 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1050 updated copy of mts.conf.
1052 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1054 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1055 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1056 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1058 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1060 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1062 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1063 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1064 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1066 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1067 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1068 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1070 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1071 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1072 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1074 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1076 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1078 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1080 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1082 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1083 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1085 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1086 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1087 certain suffix to run properly.
1089 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1090 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1091 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1093 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1094 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1095 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1096 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1097 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1098 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1099 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1101 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1103 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1104 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1105 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1106 until some year far in the future).
1108 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1110 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1112 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1113 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1115 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1116 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1119 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1121 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1122 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1123 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1124 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1125 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1126 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1128 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1130 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1132 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1133 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1134 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1136 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1137 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1138 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1139 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1140 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1141 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1144 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1145 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1146 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1147 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1148 of masquerading individually.
1150 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1151 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1152 GECOS field delimiters.
1154 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1156 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1157 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1158 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1159 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1160 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1161 and explaining the feature.
1163 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1165 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1166 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1169 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1170 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1171 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1173 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1174 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1175 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1176 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1178 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1179 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1180 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1183 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1185 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1186 code to be executed.
1188 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1190 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1192 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1193 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1194 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1195 quotes embedded in them.
1197 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1199 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1200 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1201 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1202 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1203 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1204 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1205 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1208 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1209 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1210 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1211 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1212 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1214 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1216 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1218 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1219 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1220 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1221 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1223 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1226 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1228 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1230 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1232 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1233 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1234 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1236 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1239 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1241 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1242 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1243 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1244 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1245 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1246 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1248 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1249 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1251 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1253 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1256 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1258 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1259 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1260 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1263 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1264 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1265 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1266 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1267 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1268 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1269 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1270 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1271 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1272 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1273 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1274 processing that post has).
1276 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1278 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1279 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1280 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1281 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1282 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1283 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1286 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1288 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1290 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1292 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1294 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1295 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1297 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1300 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1302 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1303 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1304 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1307 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1309 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1310 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1311 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1312 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1313 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1314 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1316 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1318 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1320 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1322 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1323 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1324 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1325 caught again. This works for now.
1327 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1329 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1331 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1332 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1334 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1336 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1337 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1339 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1341 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1343 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1345 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1346 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1348 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1350 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1351 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1352 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1353 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1354 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1357 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1359 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1360 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1361 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1363 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1364 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1367 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1369 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1370 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1371 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1373 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1375 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1376 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1378 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1380 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1383 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1384 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1386 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1387 macros, regardless of platform.
1389 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1390 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1392 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1393 with x-conversions=gzip.
1395 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1397 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1400 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1401 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1402 implicit definition of ioctl().
1404 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1405 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1406 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1407 want to mess with them.
1409 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1411 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1412 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1414 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1415 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1417 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1418 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1419 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1421 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1422 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1423 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1425 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1426 function initgroups.
1428 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1431 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1432 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1435 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1436 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1439 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1440 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1444 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1446 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1447 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1448 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1450 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1451 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1453 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1455 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1457 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1458 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1459 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1460 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1462 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1463 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1465 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1467 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1469 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1471 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1472 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1474 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1476 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1477 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1479 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1480 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1481 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1482 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1484 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1485 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1487 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1489 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1490 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1492 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1494 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1495 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1498 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1500 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1502 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1504 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1505 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1507 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1508 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1509 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1511 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1512 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1513 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1515 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1516 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1517 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1519 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1520 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1523 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1524 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1526 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1527 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1529 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1530 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1532 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1533 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1534 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1536 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1537 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1539 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1540 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1541 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1543 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1544 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1547 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1548 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1550 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1551 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1552 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1553 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1555 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1556 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1558 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1562 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1563 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1564 would not be changed.
1566 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1567 one from the Apache web server.
1569 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1570 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1572 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1573 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1574 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1576 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1578 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1580 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1581 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1584 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1585 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1586 removes a bad race condition.
1588 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1591 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1592 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1593 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1595 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1596 sequence information.
1598 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1599 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1601 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1604 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1607 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1609 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1610 interpret 034 as octal.
1612 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1614 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1615 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1617 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1618 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1620 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1621 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1623 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1624 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1626 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1627 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1629 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1630 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1631 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1633 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1634 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1635 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1637 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1639 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1641 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1642 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1645 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1647 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1648 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1650 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1651 header field information.
1653 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1654 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1656 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1657 values when parsing a content.
1659 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1660 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1662 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1663 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1665 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1666 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1668 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1669 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1671 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1673 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1675 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1677 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1679 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1680 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1683 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1684 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1686 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1687 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1688 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1689 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1690 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1691 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1694 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1696 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1697 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1698 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1700 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1701 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1703 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1705 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1706 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1707 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1708 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1710 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1711 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1714 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1715 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1716 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1717 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1720 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1722 * Released nmh-0.27.
1724 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1725 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1727 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1728 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1729 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1730 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1733 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1734 mhbuild returns an error.
1736 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1737 rename the draft file.
1739 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1740 use a global variable.
1742 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1743 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1745 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1746 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1748 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1749 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1750 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1752 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1753 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1755 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1756 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1759 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1760 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1763 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1764 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1766 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1767 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1768 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1770 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1771 to new function output_content_folder.
1773 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1774 new function output_content_file.
1776 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1777 to new function parse_format_string.
1779 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1780 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1781 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1782 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1784 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1785 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1786 message/external file from ftp.
1788 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1789 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1790 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1792 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1793 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1796 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1799 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1800 new file mhstoresbr.c
1802 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1805 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1806 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1808 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1809 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1811 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1812 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1813 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1815 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1817 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1819 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1820 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1823 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1824 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1826 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1829 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1831 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1833 * Released nmh-0.26.
1835 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1836 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1837 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1838 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1840 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1841 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1842 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1843 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1844 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1846 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1847 But it is not on by default.
1849 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1850 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1852 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1854 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1856 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1858 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1860 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1861 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1863 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1865 * Released nmh-0.25.
1867 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1868 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1869 uses the original name of the library.
1871 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1872 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1875 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1876 list_content and list_debug.
1878 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1880 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1881 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1883 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1885 * Released nmh-0.24.
1887 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1889 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1890 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1892 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1893 large sequence line.
1895 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1897 * Released nmh-0.23.
1899 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1901 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1902 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1903 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1904 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1906 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1907 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1910 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1912 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1914 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1916 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1917 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1919 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1920 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1922 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1923 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1925 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1926 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1928 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1930 * Released nmh-0.22.
1932 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1933 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1935 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1937 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1938 mh-profile(5) man page.
1940 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1941 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1943 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1945 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1947 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1948 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1950 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1952 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1953 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1954 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1956 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1957 source message on the standard input.
1959 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1961 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1962 rather than -rfc934mode.
1964 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1965 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1968 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1969 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1971 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1974 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1976 * Released nmh-0.21.
1978 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1979 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1981 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1984 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1985 to use for text contents.
1987 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1989 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1991 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1993 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1995 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1996 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1998 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1999 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2000 spaces between encoded word are.
2002 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2004 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2005 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2007 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2008 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2009 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2011 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2013 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2014 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2016 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2018 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2020 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2021 ISO-8859-X character set.
2023 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2026 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2027 permissions, not write permissions.
2029 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2030 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2032 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2035 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2037 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2039 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2040 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2042 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2043 message contains valid character set.
2045 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2046 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2048 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2049 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2051 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2052 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2053 between an encoded word and normal text.
2055 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2056 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2058 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2059 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2061 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2064 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2065 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2068 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2069 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2071 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2072 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2074 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2076 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2078 * Released nmh-0.20.
2080 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2082 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2084 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2085 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2086 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2088 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2089 and the To: line was missing.
2091 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2093 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2095 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2097 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2098 watch the POP transaction.
2100 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2101 first, and use it if available.
2103 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2104 first, and use it if available.
2106 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2108 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2110 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2111 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2112 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2115 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2116 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2117 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2119 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2120 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2123 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2125 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2126 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2128 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2130 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2131 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2133 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2134 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2135 message to which you are replying.
2137 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2138 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2139 making group replies.
2141 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2143 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2145 * Released nmh-0.19.
2147 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2148 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2150 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2151 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2152 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2153 to the end of the man page.
2155 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2156 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2157 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2158 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2159 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2160 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2162 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2165 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2166 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2167 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2169 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2170 the next available number above the message number you wish
2173 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2174 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2176 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2177 file sbr/seq_print.c
2179 * flist will now update the current folder.
2181 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2182 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2183 but now undocumented.
2185 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2188 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2189 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2191 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2193 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2194 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2196 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2198 * Released nmh-0.18.
2200 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2201 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2202 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2204 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2205 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2207 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2208 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2209 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2210 previous public/private status.
2212 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2215 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2218 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2219 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2220 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2222 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2223 take option to determine whether it should get current
2224 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2225 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2227 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2229 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2230 wait for stopped processes.
2232 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2233 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2235 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2237 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2239 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2240 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2242 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2243 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2245 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2246 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2247 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2248 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2250 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2253 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2256 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2258 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2259 the debugging output.
2261 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2262 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2264 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2266 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2268 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2269 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2271 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2273 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2274 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2275 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2276 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2277 in the given sequence.
2279 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2280 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2281 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2282 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2283 subdirectories of a given directory.
2285 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2286 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2287 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2289 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2290 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2292 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2294 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2297 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2298 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2299 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2301 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2302 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2303 are calculated at runtime.
2305 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2307 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2309 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2310 about checking for global mh.profile.
2312 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2313 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2314 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2315 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2316 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2317 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2319 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2320 adding message to folder itself.
2322 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2323 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2324 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2327 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2328 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2331 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2332 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2333 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2335 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2336 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2338 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2339 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2340 code to use it yet).
2342 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2344 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2346 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2347 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2349 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2350 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2352 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2354 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2357 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2359 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2361 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2363 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2365 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2366 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2370 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2372 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2374 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2376 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2378 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2379 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2381 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2382 configuration files.
2384 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2386 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2390 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2392 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2393 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2395 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2398 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2399 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2401 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2402 number of refiled message.
2404 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2406 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2407 for return value of wait().
2409 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2411 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2413 * Released nmh-0.16.
2415 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2417 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2419 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2420 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2421 deal with binary messages, yet).
2423 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2425 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2427 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2428 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2429 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2430 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2431 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2432 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2434 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2435 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2437 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2438 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2440 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2441 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2444 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2446 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2448 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2449 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2452 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2455 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2457 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2458 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2459 which used unsigned chars by default.
2461 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2463 * Released nmh-0.15.
2465 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2470 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2472 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2475 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2476 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2477 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2479 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2480 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2482 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2484 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2485 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2487 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2488 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2489 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2490 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2492 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2493 and put in own subroutine.
2495 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2496 and put in own subroutine.
2498 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2499 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2500 refile.c to use new routine.
2502 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2504 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2506 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2509 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2510 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2511 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2513 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2516 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2517 adding message to sequence.
2519 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2520 corresponding file in sbr.
2522 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2525 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2527 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2528 all selected messages from a sequence.
2530 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2531 selected messages to a sequence.
2533 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2536 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2538 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2539 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2541 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2543 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2562 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2563 environment variable.
2565 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2566 draft folder facility in nmh.
2568 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2580 * Released nmh-0.13.
2582 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2583 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2584 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2585 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2588 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2589 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2591 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2593 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2594 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2596 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2598 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2599 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2615 mp->attrstats with macros.
2617 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2620 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2623 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2624 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2626 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2627 will suppress the display of the message header.
2629 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2631 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2632 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2634 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2636 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2638 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2640 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2641 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2643 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2644 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2646 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2648 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2650 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2651 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2653 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2654 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2656 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2658 * Released nmh-0.10.

2665 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2668 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2670 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2671 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2673 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2674 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2676 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2678 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2679 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2681 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2683 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2704 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2706 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2708 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2709 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2711 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2713 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2714 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2716 * Released nmh-0.08.
2718 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2719 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2720 locking database itself.

2724 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2726 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2727 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2730 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2731 rather than mmdf format.
2733 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2734 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2735 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2736 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2738 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2740 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2745 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2746 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2747 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2749 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2750 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2751 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2753 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2755 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2756 can still easily change this in config.h).
2758 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2759 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2760 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2762 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2764 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2765 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2776 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2779 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2781 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2782 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2785 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2786 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2788 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2789 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2791 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2793 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2795 * Added configure check for tzset.
2797 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2799 * Released nmh-0.06.
2801 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2802 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2804 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2805 many such machines around anymore.
2807 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2808 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2810 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2811 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2813 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2815 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2816 pre-generated version if necessary.
2818 * Released nmh-0.05.
2820 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2821 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2822 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2823 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2825 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2826 be linked in one pass.
2828 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2831 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2833 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2835 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2837 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2839 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2840 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2841 become the current folder.
2843 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2845 * Released nmh-0.04.
2847 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2850 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2852 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2853 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2854 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2856 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2858 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2859 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2861 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2864 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2867 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2868 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2870 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2872 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2873 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2874 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2875 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2876 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2877 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2879 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2881 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2882 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2884 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2885 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2887 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2889 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2890 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2892 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2894 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2895 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2896 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2898 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2900 * Released nmh-0.03.
2902 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2903 .mh_sequence file existed.
2905 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2906 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2908 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2909 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2912 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2914 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2917 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2919 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2920 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2921 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2923 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2925 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2926 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2927 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2929 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2931 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2932 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2934 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2936 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2938 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2939 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2940 directory from where the source code is located.
2942 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2944 * Released nmh-0.02.

2951 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2953 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2954 and sys_nerr directly.
2956 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2960 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2962 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2964 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2965 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2966 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2967 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2968 rather than in script.
2970 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2974 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2975 macro defined on Solaris.
2977 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2979 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2980 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2982 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2983 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2984 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2985 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2988 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2990 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2991 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2993 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2996 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2998 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3000 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

3005 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3006 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3008 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3010 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3011 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3012 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3013 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3014 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3015 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3017 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3021 * Released nmh-0.01.
3023 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3024 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3025 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3028 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3030 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3033 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3035 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3036 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3038 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3041 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3042 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3043 script to find_program.
3045 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3047 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3048 speed up -recurse option.
3050 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3051 yet, but it compiles :-)
3053 * Changed default location for install to
3054 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3055 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3056 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3059 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3060 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3061 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
