Things to add to the release notes for the next full release:
-- Switched to buffered output when performing TLS encryption in the SMTP
- MTA to increase performance.
-- mh-e support has been changed so that it is always compiled into nmh;
- old features that were previously enabled by the MHE option have been
- garbage collected.
-- Old code enabled by the UCI preprocessor definition has been
- garbage-collected.
-- LOCKDIR is now configurable via --enable-lockdir
-- All configuration options that were formerly only adjustable via editing
- config.h have been removed.
-- Support for the built-in ftp client (used when dealing with external body
- message parts in MIME messages) has been removed.
-- fileproc and mhlproc mh-profile entries will now be obeyed by
- send, rcvdist, and whatnow.
-- New mh-format(5) instructions have been implemented: %(putlit),
- %(concataddr), %(myhost), %(myname)
-- The --enable-pop configure option has been removed; POP support is now
- compiled in always.
-- You can now filter the body of a message through a user-defined filter
- program inside of repl (the idea is that it will be used by repl).
- See mhl(1), specifically the "format" keyword and "formatproc" in
- mh-profile(5).
-- The test suite has been integrated into the Makefile via "make check".
-- The following environment variables are obsolete. Support for them
- will be removed from the next nmh 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 to be removed)
-- nmh's idea of the local mailbox is available via a new mh-profile(5)
- escape, %(localmbox). The local mailbox name is now configurable
- via a new mh-profile(5) entry, Local-Mailbox.
-- comp, forw, and dist all support -from, -to, -cc, -fcc, and -subject
- switches. They also all process all component templates through
- mh-format(5).
-- post(8) now requires a From: header in all drafts that it processes
- for sending. The default component templates have all been adjusted
- to include appropriate From: headers based on either the -from switch
- or the local mailbox.
-- burst(1) now supports any valid message delimiter according to RFC 934.
-- A problem with the MD5 digest calculator on 64-bit systems has been fixed.
+ 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 in
+ etc/mts.conf, which in turn can be configured using
+ --with-mts=sendmail/pipe. 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 mts: pipe. spost is deprecated and will be
+ removed from the next release.
+

+---------
+

+ on pnm files in etc/mhn.defaults [Bug #15152].

+- Fixed -nocc me doesn't account for Alternate-Mailboxes [Bug #36635].
