Things to add to the release notes for the next full release: ------------ NEW FEATURES ------------ - All nmh programs will now warn about multiple profile entries for the same non-null, non-comment component. In previous versions, all but the first were silently ignored. - mhmail now supports all post(8) options, or optionally can use send(1) with all of its options. Its formerly undocumented -resent switch has been documented. And it has new -attach, -headerfield, and -send/-nosend switches. - Default to flock() locking on OpenBSD and Darwin. - Added -directives support to mhbuild(1) to control whether or not mhbuild will honor MIME directives by default. And added support for special #on/#off/#pop directives to control the MIME directive processing state. - Added -messageid switch to send(1) and post(8). This allows selection of the style to use for generated Message-ID and Content-ID header fields. The default localname style is pid.time@localname, where time is in seconds, and matches previous behavior. The random style replaces the localname with some (pseudo)random bytes and uses microsecond-resolution time. - Added -clobber switch to mhstore(1) to control overwriting of existing files. ---------------------------- OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES ---------------------------- - Changed exit status of each nmh command's -version and -help switches from 1 to 0. - The following environment variables were deprecated in nmh 1.5 and removed from this release: MHPOPDEBUG (use -snoop command line switch instead) MM_NOASK (use -nolist and -nopause command line switches instead) NOMHNPROC (use -nocheckmime command line switch instead) FACEPROC (undocumented faceproc feature removed) - Changed repl and dist default to -noatfile. The default of -atfile was deprecated in nmh 1.5. If there are no requests to maintain -atfile, it will be removed in the future. - The undocumented -queue switch to mhmail has been removed. - The undocumented -queue switch to post is deprecated/obsolete and will be removed in the next release. It supports the SMTP XQUE verb, which is obsolete according to http://smtpfilter.sourceforge.net/esmtp.html - conflict(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release. - mhtest(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release. - spost(8) has been merged into post(8). Its functionality is enabled by selecting the sendmail/pipe mail transport method, described in the mh-tailor(5) man page. The spost -noalias, -backup/-nobackup, -push/-nopush, and -remove/-noremove switches are not supported by post. Note that spost did not support -whom or Dcc, and neither does post when using sendmail/pipe. For backward compatibility, spost has been replaced by a simple shell script that exec's post -mts sendmail/pipe. --------- BUG FIXES --------- - Replaced utilities that operate on pbm files with those that operate on pnm files in etc/mhn.defaults [Bug #15152]. - Removed obsolete BUGS section at end of rcvstore(1) man page [Bug #4361]. - Fixed -nocc me doesn't account for Alternate-Mailboxes [Bug #36635]. - Propagate Mail-Followup-To [Bug #5571].
