12 On this day in 1978 Kurt Shoens placed the following comment in
13 def.h (now it is in nail.h):
16 * Mail -- a mail program
18 * Author: Kurt Shoens (UCB) March 25, 1978
21 v14.9.10 is mostly a stability and bugfix release.
22 It has seen a full test series including Coverity.com scans.
23 It fixes bugs i have introduced (also a double free in IMAP cache
24 that i introduced for v14.9.* series to address Coverity CID
27 In the end i am saying thanks to Gunnar Ritter for the IMAP
28 module, and absolutely especially his really neat idea of an IMAP
29 cache including offline work queue. (IMAP will nonetheless
30 temporarily go in v15, but these ideas will come back thereafter.)
31 I have gray hairs now.
33 Credits, in order of commit appearance: William Yodlowsky,
34 Stuart Henderson, Jörg Schilling, Viktor SZÉPE, Rich Felker,
35 Ralph Corderoy and Philipp Gesang.
37 A special credit to Coverity.com again. Because:
38 tcc is 618496 bytes, pcc is 851968+24576 bytes,
39 but gcc is 73355264 bytes and clang is even
40 147406848 bytes, i wonder why the latter two never
41 said a word that would have addressed the pretty

47 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
48 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
50 - The balls are now build with umask 0022 not 0027.
51 (William Yodlowsky, Stuart Henderson)
53 - One actual development of this version was the addition of
54 multiple choice VAL_ues, as documented in make.rc.
55 For now we have VAL_IDNA (for OPT_IDNA)
56 VAL_IDNA="idnkit idn2 idn"
57 and VAL_RANDOM (by itself)
58 VAL_RANDOM="arc4 ssl libgetrandom sysgetrandom urandom builtin"
62 The value is interpreted as a whitespace separated list of
63 strings, like "idn2 idn idnkit", case is ignored, order is
65 The special strings "all" and "any" as well as the empty value
66 are wildcard matches; if any entry in the list is a wildcard
67 match, the rest of the list is ignored.
69 The special string "error" will abort configuration once its
70 list position is reached; this is only supported if
71 documented, and not with an accompanying OPT_ (which then
72 offers "require", as below).
74 Since this VAL_RANDOM approach is so much better i have dropped
75 OPT_SSL_RANDOM and OPT_NOEXTRANDOM that were recently
76 introduced again. They were c..p.
78 - Support for idnkit 2.3 has been added.
79 Support for idnkit 1 (especially as idnkitlite) has been fixed.
81 - For the first time this codebase should be able to handle
82 invalid MBOX mailboxes (produced by, e.g., dma(1)) gracefully.
83 I hope i have found all places (sic) where code has to be fixed.
84 E.g., "? copy * INVALID-MBOX" now works.
85 (Smalltalk already knew objects which know what they are doing
86 are for the better... This is v15, then.)
88 - P.S.: the two FreeBSD test failures are noted in INSTALL.
93 - *asksend*#351 will now really allow recomposing.
95 - `help'#198 now supports recursive `commandalias'#151es, and
96 command self-recursion detection now works differently, it has
97 been false for something like
99 commandalias x q; commandalias q echo au
101 since q became expanded to `quit'#233 (alias expansion equals
102 new command word). New behaviour: we allow equals once:
104 commandalias q q; commandalias x q; x
108 - *editalong*#385 can have a value, say "set editalong=v" and it
109 will startup $VISUAL#597 not $EDITOR#575.
111 - Path separators are now normalized, thus all places, including
112 MLE tab-expansion ("On terminal control and line editor"#17),
113 can expand something like "///t*////t*".
115 - -E#62 flag will not be obsoleted.
116 -D#60 flag has been reintroduced (sets *disconnected*#622 right
117 away, was not reinstantiated with the rest of the IMAP support.)

165 -------------------------------------------------------------
168 I hope with this the fallout of the Christmas 2016 "address the
169 Dr. Problem workshop" has been fully resolved and thus MIME for
170 header address fields, even if iconv(3) is involved, been fully
171 restored! We have even more tests for this now.
173 The release v14.9.8 was broken on big endian machines.
174 I will remove the v14.9.8 balls from the server by the weekend.
175 Sorry for the inconvenience!
177 Credits, in order of commit appearance: Slavko, Matej Mužila,
178 Rich Felker, Simon McVittie, Paride Legovini, Cág,
181 We welcome Slavko, Matej Mužila, Rich Felker and Simon McVittie in
184 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
185 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
187 - The v14.9.* series called *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#462 handlers in
188 display or quote mode with CR (carriage-return) bytes stripped
189 because of a missing output file comparison check, which broke
190 binary formats etc. (Slavko)
192 - We now have native support for Libidn2. (Matej Mužila)
194 - uname(1) is now hookable by setting the shell variable uname
195 when calling make ("uname=MY-UNAME make config" etc.).
198 We no longer bake the kernel version into the binary, and
199 `version'#288 includes uname(2) output.
200 (Simon McVittie, Paride Legovini)
202 - We now support a fallback P(seudo)R(andomNumber)G(enerator)
203 initialization even if getrandom(2)/getrandom(3) has been found
204 by the configuration, just like we do for "/dev/urandom" usage.
205 This does not affect systems with arc4random(3) or OpenSSL
206 random usage. (David Čepelík, Simon McVittie)
208 A new OPT_SSL_RANDOM make.rc variable, by default initialized to
209 the value of OPT_SSL.
214 - `~@'#304 list-edit behaviour in -##85 batch mode was broken.
216 - Character set names will now undergo generic normalization,
217 including stripping of iconv(3) //SUFFIXes.

250 v14.9.7 ("Marsh tit patiently scraping bark") 2018-02-16
251 --------------------------------------------------------
253 A maintenance release which fixes bugs and brings in features.
255 Credits, in order of commit appearance: Alexander Harm,
256 Viktor SZÉPE, Paul Eggert, Joseph Bisch, Paride Legovini,
258 A special credit to the disappearing mutt(1) bug tracker.
259 And to Gmane.org for creating gmane.mail.s-mailx.general!
261 Thanks Paride Legovini for becoming maintainer of the Debian port.
263 We welcome Joseph Bisch, Paride Legovini, and Peter J. Holzer in
266 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
267 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
269 - The USB stick loss reported for v14.9.6 was fake news, so to
270 say, the stick exists and therefore the old key is not
273 - We are back at Gmane.org!
274 news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.s-mailx.general
276 - `history'#199 has learned to be context-sensitive a bit, and
277 has two new subcommands, `load' and `save'.
279 This is in parts backward incompatible because it needs a new
280 *history-file*#407 format; however, the old format can be loaded
281 yet compose-mode commands will not appear in compose mode no
282 more. Iirc you can start with an old format then `save' to
283 the new, then replace the "d" in the first column with "c" for
284 compose-mode commands which should appear correctly.
286 - Obsoletion warnings for variables now happen at `set'#255
287 time instead of when used. Running once via -v#82 may
290 - The saturation modifier of `vexpr'#289 is henceforth a prefix,
291 the suffix version is obsolete (but still supported for a while).
293 - A network address that contains no domain-, but only a valid local
294 user <name> in angle brackets will be automatically expanded to
295 a valid address when *hostname*#412 is set to a non-empty value;
296 setting it to the empty value instructs us that the used *mta*#441
297 (including builtin SMTP) will perform the necessary expansion.
300 Note that *hostname*#412 as well as *smtp-hostname*#522
301 will now undergo IDNA expansion if IDNA is supported.
303 And *from*#401 and *sender*#499 are now verified at `set'#255
304 time, not when used. (Viktor SZÉPE)
306 - The commit message in [d503bd82] is wrong, apologies to
307 Paride Legovini. The test(1) operator "-n" appeared in Seventh
308 Edition UNIX, not V8 as falsely claimed.
313 - Our `addrcodec'#131 parser chokes on lesser constructs.
315 - Presence of command-line MTA arguments without *expandargv*#391
316 are now a hard error. It was my fault that this was not the
317 default from the very start. (Viktor SZÉPE)
319 - Seen on the mutt bug tracker, we also still have had problems
320 with time settings that cross 32-bit boundaries. As that is
321 in parts induced by the C standard, now implement those parts on
322 our own, and be super careful in general. (Joseph Bisch)
324 - The `~@'#304 command escape did not shell-unquote the user input
325 again and was thus a bit broken; message attachments also work
328 - Support custom headers from the command line via -C#58.
329 And *customhdr*#378 is verified upon `set'#255 time.
331 - The simple builtin HTML viewer now supports <blockquote>
332 elements, which many web mailers, most notably gmail, use for
333 citation. (Peter J. Holzer)

376 ------------------------------------------------------
378 A bugfix release which fixes four serious and three other bugs.
379 A few new features came in, too.
381 Many thanks go to Ralph Corderoy who reported an issue that was
382 caused by a terrible, terrible word reversal that i managed to
383 produce in December 2016, and which caused the v14.9.x series to
384 not MIME encode (non-address) content of address header fields!

394 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
396 - After USB stick loss the authors OpenPGP key has been switched to

403 - $TMPDIR#595 no longer honoured for root runs. (Solar Designer)
405 - *mime-encoding*#439 defaults to quoted-printable again. (Cág)
407 - We _can_ MIME encode even header fields which contain addresses.
408 Thanks to Ralph Corderoy we now also _do_ so again!
413 - ***#336 now uses *ifs*#414 when splitting.
415 - Freezing *ttycharset*#561 via -S#77 also survives using or
416 setting any of $LC_ALL#577, $LC_CTYPE#578 and $LANG#579 during
419 - New `local'#115 command modifier to localize changes.
420 Yet supported only for `set'#255, i.e., we have gained
421 macro-local variables.
423 - `vexpr'#289 now supports a BASE#number notation for integers,
424 like 16#AFFE as an alternative to 0xAFFE.
426 Hint: variable settings can most often use several bases, too,
427 e.g., i have "set mime-counter-evidence=0b1111".
429 - Very simple form of *quote-chars*#482 to adjust our knowledge of
430 what actually is to be treated as a quote character.
432 - *mime-counter-evidence*#438 deep inspection (bit four) has
433 been improved for the sole cases of quoting or displaying
434 a message. So messages with less than 25% of control characters
435 and such will now be displayed (made printable). This is yet
436 not configurable nor do we have a way to easily access a message
437 with more than that. (Doug McIlroy)

474 -------------------------------------------------------
476 A bugfix release which fixes two bugs which were cast in stone.
477 A few compatibility improvements (AlpineLinux, Solaris).
480 Apologies to Jörg Schilling, a git bug i think it was who caused
481 joining of changesets, losing a credit, and it had been pushed to
482 [master] before the problem was realized.
484 Credits, in order of commit appearance: Jörg Schilling,
485 Doug McIlroy, Random832, Nick Stoughton and Ivan Tham.
487 We welcome Nick Stoughton and Ivan Tham in THANKS.
489 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
490 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
492 - New OPT_USE_PKGSYS option can be disabled to not automatically
493 pick known package system paths (pkg(7), OpenCSW, schily).
499 - The software indeed _never_ dealt with iconv(3) output character
500 set errors (as opposed to invalid input character set byte
501 sequences etc.) for the main message body!
502 And I have missed that when i tweaked our iconv layer a bit!
504 - Fixed a race condition with sigsuspend(2) that i could only see
505 on OpenBSD. config.h offers n_SIGSUSPEND_NOT_WAITPID, by the
506 way, which saves some systemcalls and did not run races, but
507 noone adjusts this file.
509 - Message list specifications gained two new colon modifiers, one
510 can now "search :Ll" to find "Mailing lists"#10.
511 The *headline*#404 format %T now also uses L and l rather than
514 New `addrcodec'#131 subcommand `skinlist' acts like `skin'
515 but stores in *!*#333 *^ERR*#335-EXIST if the address is
516 one of the known "Mailing lists"#10.
518 - `echo'#168 family now supports `vput'#118 and *!*#333 error
519 storage, offering some kind of printf(1) experience, almost.

545 This is an update feature release but which also ships a furious
546 number of bug fixes, about six of which were pretty serious. It
547 also applies overall trimming, and improves configuration time
548 compatibility on macOS.
550 Thanks to Alexander Harm there is now a macOS Homebrew package.

560 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
561 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
563 - Out-of-tree builds have become possible via the new
564 make-emerge.sh script:
566 $ cd /tmp && mkdir build && cd build &&
567 ~/src/nail.git/make-emerge.sh &&
568 make tangerine DESTDIR=.ddir
570 We now have a `citron' make target which is like `tangerine' but
571 does not run the tests.
573 - Configuration with OPT_AUTOCC honours $CC=cc. (Norman Ramsey)
575 - SSL/TLS configuration has been revamped (again) in order to
576 support new possibilities of OpenSSL (and LibreSSL) without
577 ending up and introducing more and more variables.
579 Instead we now have *ssl-config-pairs*#543, a comma-separated
580 list of all options. With e.g. OpenSSL 1.1.xx this will be
581 directly passed through to SSL_CONF_cmd(), so there _anything_
582 can be passed, otherwise we use a builtin parser to map.
583 The new *ssl-features*#547 states what is supported. E.g.:
585 if [ "$ssl-features" =% +ctx-set-maxmin-proto ]
586 wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
587 CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
588 Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
591 wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
592 CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
593 Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
594 Protocol=-ALL\,+TLSv1.1 \, +TLSv1.2'
597 OpenSSL v1.1.xx also introduces an interesting and neat idea to
598 centralize SSL/TLS configuration of (all) programs in a single
599 file. This can be driven via *ssl-config-file*#541 and the new
600 *ssl-config-module*#542 variables, several entries per program
601 are allowed, see *ssl-config-module*#542 for an example.
603 New manual section "Encrypted network communication"#13.
605 - Variables set or unset via -S#77 are now frozen until program
611 - Historical behaviour of *askcc*#349 / *askbcc*#350 has been
612 reintroduced. (Norman Ramsey)
614 A new *asksend*#351 variable will show a final header summary
615 and allows reentering compose mode. Set by default.
617 POSIX mirrors *ask* onto *asksub*#353, so dropped" the former.
619 - `~^'#306 no longer normalizes header names to titlecase.
621 - We no longer generate charset=binary MIME parameters.
622 This was introduced on 2013-01-02 and was i think owed to
623 file(1)s -i output as i failed to find any other reference.
626 - *mime-alternative-favour-rich*#437 now also works for handlers
627 installed via *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#462. (Viktor Szépe)
629 - v14.9.* series did not generate In-Reply-To: headers!
631 - `alias'#132 now supports high-bit bytes and semicolon.
632 Expect that at some later time the input must be valid according
633 to the locale, though. (Norman Ramsey)
635 - Combinations of *record*#486 could crash because of an
636 unterminated variable function argument list. (Norman Ramsey)
638 - New command `readall'#235 loads an entire file into a variable.
640 *signature*#506 has been obsoleted.
642 - `vexpr'#289 now supports negative arguments for the substring
643 subcommand and adds trim, trim-front and trim-end subcommands.
645 - `!'#122 can be used in send mode.
647 - `~A'#307, `~a'#308, `~I'#317 and `~i'#318 will henceforth expand
648 \t and \n only if *posix*#475 is set.
649 Please use `set'#255 instead (with `wysh'#119, until v15).
651 - New "The mime.types files"#35 type marker: @q ("quiet").

707 ------------------------------------------------------------
709 This is a bugfix release but which ships some improvements, too.
710 It silently replaces both of v14.9.1 v14.9.2 from earlier this
711 week, which were broken or not entirely fixed.
713 Credits, in order of commit appearance: Felix Fontein, Paul Vojta,
714 Ralph Corderoy, Christos Zoulas, Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson.
715 Thanks, Coverity.com.
717 We welcome Christos Zoulas in THANKS.
719 Apologies to Viktor Szépe for the false spelling of his name in
720 the v14.9.0 announcement.
721 And to Gaetan Bisson for not giving credit for [14fbce97]!
723 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
724 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
726 - fakeroot support was blindly taken from Debian and broken.
727 (Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson)
729 - Base64 output was broken for cases which involved iconv(3).
730 The data is not lost, you can read it with S-nail v14.9.0 and
731 above, and save it somewhere. I know of no other base64 decoder
732 which reads those things correctly, though. We now have tests.
733 Along this i fixed an iconv(3) error which likely caused
734 stateful decoding (like, e.g., for ISO-2022-JP) to fail because
735 of an unnecessary reset of the iconv(3) state machine.
736 Thanks to Gaetan Bisson for mentioning this issue!
741 - In compose mode the MLE allows empty lines again.
743 - We no longer require a writable $HOME#576. Due to false code
744 flow (but but but: with correct comment) a non-writable $HOME
745 entry in /etc/password (i.e., from getpwuid(3)) would lead to
746 a crash. (Felix Fontain; Ralph Corderoy)
748 - Two faulty string operations slipped into the IMAP code,
749 resulting in a crash and a "is-same-host" test that would fail
750 for IMAPS connections like `save'#252 or `copy'#154 because of an
751 implicit IMAP protocol for the target of those operations (thus
752 IMAP != IMAPS). (Paul Vojta)
754 - The MLE tab-expansion will now automatically append a "/" if
755 there is only one possible expansion and that is a directory,
756 saving the user one <TAB>. (Christos Zoulas)
758 The shell expression parser had a bug regarding understood
759 metacharacters (;|&), which in turn could cause an infinite loop
760 in the MLE tab-expansion for, e.g., "move &9 +<TAB>", because
761 the "&" would never have been stepped over.
763 - New `~I'#317 command escape is like `~i'#318 but does not append
766 - `localopts'#204 gained an optional second argument.
767 It is now possible to specify that any macro `call'#140ed
768 will have localopts enabled, and it is possible to fixate the
769 setting so that it cannot be reverted.
771 - *@*#339 should now act completely compatible to the sh(1)ell,
772 thus obsoleting my hysteric warnings in the v14.9.0 announcement.
774 - The `Lreply'#205, `reply'#240, `Reply'#239 series as well as
775 `mail'#207 now manage the error status *!*#333.
776 I.e., there are now errors like *^ERR*#335-DESTADDRREQ,
777 ^ERR-NODATA, ^ERR-PERM and similar. It is not perfect yet,
778 because $DEAD#574 may have been written (with *save*#494) or not,
781 `Lreply' and `reply' have been rewritten rather completely
782 indeed. They join Reply-To: and Mail-Followup-To: dependent on
783 the context (i.e., *reply-to-honour*#492, *followup-to-honour*#398,
784 see "Mailing lists"#10 for the picture), and if they did, use
785 this list as the receivers exclusively. It now honours
786 *recipients-in-cc*#485 even for such addressees. (And now i wonder
787 whether i should have credited Paul Vojta for that.)
789 Also `Lreply' would have crashed for mails with Reply-To: but
790 without *reply-to-honour*#492 set. We now have a test.
792 Note *replyto* is obsoleted in favour of *reply-to*#491.

810 v14.9.0 ("Long-tailed tit"), 2017-07-16
811 ---------------------------------------
813 This is a major feature release which took about ~22 months (24
814 less two) of development to complete, and which imposed massive
815 changes under the hood, but also quite a lot of user visible
816 changes, including some **backward incompatibilities**.
817 As usual, "s-nail -d" will show obsoletion warnings.
819 We gain noticeable improvements regarding scriptability and its
820 reliability, but also for interactive use cases, especially
821 notable to users is our completely new M(ailx)L(ine)E(ditor) that
822 supports rather real tabulator expansion and program-mode-context-
823 sensitive key bindings.
825 We now support macros with arguments, which can be `shift'ed,
826 a `return' status can be used, and a `vexpr' multiplexer offers
827 some arithmetic and string operations. `commandalias'es are
828 recursive, further command modifier prefixes, like `ignerr', give
829 a hand that we otherwise could not offer. In compose-mode the new
830 `~^' command escape allows some message and attachment access, and
831 can be used, e.g., to implement things like custom headers, and
832 has been especially designed for scripted access via the new
833 *on-compose-splice* and *on-compose-splice-shell* hooks.
835 S-nail will move (more or less) backward-incompatibly to sh(1)ell
836 compatible argument quoting (documented in "COMMANDS"), and an
837 increasing number of commands do support this already: new ones
838 exclusively, some old ones have either been switched (like
839 `localopts'), others -- noticeably `set' -- can be switched to the
840 new syntax with a `wysh' command modifier prefix. E.g.:
843 # Be careful to choose sh(1)ell-style on _entire_ line!
844 localopts yes; wysh set verbose; ignerr eval "${@}"; return $?
846 ? commandalias call echo boo-boo
847 ? commandalias xv call __xv
849 ? commandalias xv '\'call __xv
852 Calling the latter `xv' for `list' will give more detailed command
853 information, including which kind of argument is used.
855 I have not managed to implement the three features i have started
856 this development cycle for, these are thus subject to further
857 development, just like wysh for message-list argument commands to
858 support, e.g., negation, wysh for `if' and consorts, the --
859 terminator to finally overcome the ridiculous requirement to quote
860 entire shell commands filenames for commands like `pipe.

890 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
891 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
893 * This release brings some backward incompatibilities, outlined
894 in the following. Most users will not be affected, and we have
895 added a lot of compatibility cruft, but that will vanish in v15.
898 * The configuration and build system has changed.
899 Packagers have received updated package files.
901 o Anything which was WANT_xy before is now OPT_xy, and
902 compiled-in paths and values, like PREFIX or PAGER, have
903 gained a VAL_ prefix (thus VAL_PREFIX and VAL_PAGER).
905 This is _not_ true for non-persistent or environmental values,
906 e.g., DESTDIR, CC, etc., and also not for the overwritable
907 program variables during configuration, e.g., $awk.
909 o SENDMAIL -> VAL_MTA, SENDMAIL_PROGNAME -> VAL_MTA_ARGV0,
910 MAILSPOOL -> VAL_MAIL.
911 And NAIL -> VAL_MAILX, though this is still a lie.
913 o The make system now needs config..build..install or
914 all..install or tangerine (config..build..test..install).
915 Some constants which some experts may want to fine-tune have
916 been moved to config.h. Usual adjustments+doc via make.rc.
918 o The `build' phase can be parallelized by setting the $MAKEJOBS
919 environment variable, e.g., "make MAKEJOBS=-j4 build".
920 Note this variable is not tracked in the configuration.
923 o Unless DESTDIR is set an uninstallation script will be
924 installed along with the rest (see INSTALL file for more).
926 o Set the new OPT_CROSS_BUILD to avoid feature runtime tests,
927 only compile- and link-availability will be tested. (Juan RP)
929 o VERBOSE is implemented straight, but must be given at
930 configuration time in order to become honoured.
933 o ADDCFLAGS / ADDLDFLAGS -> EXTRA_CFLAGS / EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
935 o The LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. building processes will skip any path
936 which contains the string "fakeroot". (Hilko Bengen)
938 o We honour a set $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH#593 environment variable to
939 an extend that allows reproducible tests, which is why the
940 repository gained a [test-out] branch with some expected plain
941 text outputs. (reproducible-builds.org; Colin Watson)
943 The new *log-prefix*#425 variable aids in improving the
944 reproducibility of error messages.
946 o These are upward compatible changes.
948 * "make OPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000 all" should work.
950 * Internal and environment variables are now explicitly _defined_
951 and _tracked_ after variable handling has been rewritten
954 o This means that, e.g., "$ password=NOT_SECRET s-nail" will
955 **NOT** work no more, since *password*#460 is an internal
958 o But if you do, e.g., "? set TMPDIR=~/tmp", then this will
959 also be reflected in the program environment (it is an
960 environment variable) and thus affect child processes.
962 o Therefore we no longer have `setenv' and `unsetenv'.
964 o To integrate any other environment variable transparently
965 into our variable management, the new command `environ'#176
966 needs to be used, e.g., "? environ set NEWVAR=value" or
967 "? environ link EXISTINGVAR".
969 - -H#66 and -L#69 have been decoupled:
970 it used to be -e#63 -L#69 instead!
972 - *NAIL_{HEAD,TAIL}* have been obsoleted in favour of
973 *message-inject-head*#433 and *message-inject-tail*#434.
975 *NAIL_HIST{FILE,SIZE}* have been obsoleted in favour of
976 *history-file*#407 and *history-size*#410.
978 *NAIL_EXTRA_RC* has been obsoleted in favour of
979 *mailx-extra-rc*#428.
981 *batch-exit-on-error* has been obsoleted by *errexit*#388, which
982 works just like the POSIX sh(1)ell "set -e" construct; the
983 `ignerr'#114 command modifier (`-' for command escapes in compose
984 mode, and see below) can be used to ignore command errors even
985 then. (This will remain even if we at some later time will
986 support at least some of the sh(1) constructs which "swallow"
987 failures with set -e.)
989 *bsdannounce* is obsolete, the feature is integrated in
990 *header*#403 as this is much more useful. (This is however also
991 dependent upon the also new but well-known $POSIXLY_CORRECT#591
992 <> *posix*#475, but that is just how it is; these affect more
993 behaviour, and increasing.)
995 - Colour support has been changed backward in- and upward (from
996 user interface side) compatibly, see the manual section
997 "Coloured display"#18.
999 + New commands: `colour'#149 and `uncolour'#150.
1000 You can define context-sensitive, terminal-capability-
1001 sensitive settings, e.g.:
1003 if terminal && [ "$features" =% +colour ]
1004 colour iso view-header ft=bold,fg=magenta,bg=cyan
1005 colour 256 view-header ft=bold,fg=208,bg=230 subject,from
1006 colour mono view-header ft=bold
1007 colour mono view-header ft=bold,ft=reverse subject,from
1010 + The variable *colour-pager*#374 defines whether colour and font
1011 attribute sequences should be generated when viewing something
1014 + Set the variable *colour-disable*#373 to turn colour off
1015 without affecting established settings.
1017 + It is deduced via termcap(5) (see below) whether the terminal
1018 supports colors, e.g., "$ s-nail -Stermcap=Co#256".
1019 This is also true if we don't have termcap support.
1021 + Support for 256-colour terminals. (Gavin Troy)
1023 - `source'#267 series support shell pipes if the last character
1024 of the "filename" ends with a vertical bar |, e.g.,
1026 ? source 'gpg -qd ~/.s-nailrc-private.gpg |'
1028 - Shell pipes are also supported as targets for `move'#217,
1029 `copy'#154 etc., yet unfortunately not with via a sh(1)ell token
1030 parser, so that the target still has to be a single argument.
1032 ? copy . '| cat; echo huhu'
1034 - Support for custom headers via the new `~^'#306 compose-mode
1035 command escape and in addition, or alternatively, with the
1036 internal variable *customhdr*#378, which also can be covered by
1037 `localopts'#204. (Sergey Matveev)
1039 + Support of $ORGANIZATION has been dropped.
1041 + Command escape `~e'#312 supports _any_ header.
1043 + Command escape `~^'#306 supports _any_ header.
1045 - New -:#53 command line option can be used to more easily select
1046 which startup files should be loaded, e.g., -:/ loads none.
1049 - `account'#129s and *folder-hook*#395s now have `localopts'#204
1052 - A first simple form of compose-mode hooks has been implemented:
1053 *on-compose-enter*#453, *on-compose-leave*#454 and
1054 *on-compose-cleanup*#452 can be set to macros which get invoked
1055 at appropriate times.
1056 For the `resend'#244 series there is *on-resend-enter*#458 and
1057 *on-resend-cleanup*#457: this is very likely to change once
1058 true message access is possible even in this mode.
1060 An even more powerful mechanism is available via the also new
1061 *on-compose-splice*#455 and *on-compose-splice-shell*#456 hooks.
1062 These are executed in child processes and communicate with the
1063 parent via their standard input and output, and therefore can
1064 do anything and act as if they were the user.
1066 `localopts'#204 are enabled and cannot be disabled (and extend
1067 until the message is sent).
1068 (Jens Schleusener, Rudolf Sykora)
1070 ? set on-compose-splice=ocs
1073 echo Splice protocol version is $ver
1074 echo '~^header list'
1075 read hl; vput vexpr es substring "${hl}" 0 1
1077 echoerr 'Failed to read header list, bailing out'
1079 elif [ "$hl" @i!% ' cc' ]
1080 echo '~^header insert cc Diet is your <mirr.or>'
1081 read es; vput vexpr es substr "${es}" 0 1
1083 echoerr 'Failed to insert Cc:, bailing out'; echo '~x'
1088 - "The .netrc file"#37
1090 + gained support for comments.
1091 (Walter Alejandro Iglesias, Ralph Corderoy)
1093 + `netrc'#220 now has a "load" subcommand.
1095 + the new *netrc-pipe*#447 obsoletes OPT_AGENT and
1096 *agent-shell-lookup*, and can be used to load an encrypted
1099 ? set netrc-lookup netrc-pipe='gpg -qd ~/.netrc.gpg'
1101 I.e., this is in usual .netrc syntax and thus possibly much
1102 nicer than saying "? source 'gpg -qd ~/.credentials.gpg |'".
1104 - termcap(5) / terminfo(5) support has been changed backward in-
1105 and upward (from user interface side) compatibly, please read
1106 "On terminal control and line editor"#17.
1108 + OPT_TERMCAP is by default enabled.
1109 The new, by default enabled, configuration option
1110 OPT_TERMCAP_VIA_TERMINFO can be used to (try to) use
1111 terminfo(5) instead.
1113 + The variable *termcap*#556 can be used to freely define or
1114 override terminal capabilities, and *termcap-disable*#558 will
1115 disable interaction with the chosen library, leaving only
1116 *termcap* in charge.
1118 To use the so-called ca-mode on supporting terminals,
1119 effectively turning S-nail into a fullscreen application,
1120 *termcap-ca-mode*#557 must be set.
1122 + The built-in line editor has been rather completely rewritten
1123 to be the Mailx-Line-Editor (OPT_MLE, default yes), and
1124 supports wide glyphs (if possible), infinite line lengths
1125 (2 GB) and more. Tabulator expansion is no longer an option
1126 (but needs fnmatch(3)).
1128 + Optionally (OPT_KEY_BINDINGS, default yes) it has become
1129 possible to freely define key bindings for the MLE via the new
1130 `bind'#138 and `unbind'#139 commands. These key bindings can
1131 make use of termcap(5) and/or terminfo(5) names. The MLE will
1132 install a set of default bindings (unless there is a set
1133 *line-editor-no-defaults*#424), more so with OPT_TERMCAP,
1134 i.e., try "? bind*".
1136 Sufficient support provided, one can now, e.g., type "p " and
1137 then collect the message numbers to type, scrolling forward
1138 and backward via key-bindings, without losing the line
1139 content, then commit the final line.
1141 + OPT_EDITLINE and OPT_READLINE support have been dropped.
1142 The new MLE should not miss anything. Does it?
1143 Tip: in an UTF-8 locale try "? !touch /tmp/hall{,öchen}" and
1144 then autocomplete that: once, then ^Q, and again.
1146 - `source'#267 can be used in `call'#140ed macros.
1147 What sounds so innocent replaced an entire machinery and got rid
1148 of a brilliant idea of Kurt Shoens from the 70s, but which never
1149 worked with Nail/Heirloom extensions, namely macros, and in the
1151 Accompanying this -X#83 can (dig multiline arguments and can) be
1152 used to define macros and run them etc. Should work:
1154 $ s-nail -X'define x {' -Xversion -Xx -X'}' -X'call x'
1155 $ s-nail -X'source \' -X'"echo version|"' -Xx
1157 Macros can be `undefine'#159d from within themselves, and re-
1158 `define'#158d. It is still not possible to define macros
1159 from within macros, and/or have inner macros, not to talk
1160 about local scoping or anything more sophisticated such.
1162 - -u#80 / $LOGNAME#582 ($USER) handling has been redefined,
1163 and "-u USER" is now exactly the same as "-f %USER", and
1164 $LOGNAME (and $USER) is actively set to the active user. (Afan)
1166 $LOGNAME#582 is POSIX standardized and henceforth used and
1167 preferred over $USER, which came from BSD. (Todd C. Miller)
1169 - In the future (at least non-message-list) argument handling will
1170 be changed backward-incompatibly to be sh(1)ell compatible (and
1171 thus POSIX standardized), see "Shell-style argument quoting"#24.
1172 New commands use it already today (`bind'#138, `colour'#149,
1173 `headerpick'#195), some others (most importantly, `set'#255) can
1174 be forced to do so via the new `wysh'#119 command prefix, as in:
1176 ? wysh set message-inject-tail=$'\n--steffen'
1177 ? bind base $'\cA,\x61' 'echo control-A and small a'
1179 - We now actively manage *umask*#563: 0077 by default, but an
1180 empty string will use the setting that is active upon startup.
1181 Just like changes to (known) environment variables, this setting
1182 will also be inherited by any child process.
1183 (Walter Alejandro Iglesias)
1185 - Anything SENDMAIL / *sendmail*-ish has been renamed to *mta*#441,
1186 *mta-arguments*#442, *mta-no-default-arguments*#443 and
1189 The reason is that in v15 we won't even have *smtp*: it is just
1190 another form of MTA, and thus obsolete by itself.
1191 Note that *mta-arguments* is now parsed via the shell-token
1192 parser, so the following ends up exactly as desired.
1194 ? set mta-arguments='-t -X "/tmp/my log"'
1196 For now we support a hack that understands a file:// URL in
1197 *mta*, too, but that is also the default if there is no protocol.
1198 E.g.: "? set mta=smtp://a:b@xy.z"
1200 - The "spamd" *spam-interface*#525 is obsolete. I haven't tested
1201 it since my main machine died, it is error prone since it assumes
1202 internals of the spamassassin wire protocol, and there never was
1203 a speed improvement over "spamc". (However it could react upon
1204 the "is-spam" state of a message, which "spamc" doesn't allow.)
1206 - The new *inbox*#418 variable will henceforth be looked up when
1207 searching for a primary system mailbox (as in "? File %"),
1208 followed by the usual $MAIL#583 and compile-time defined local
1209 mailspool search. (Stephen Isard, Jürgen Daubert)
1211 - The semantic of -a#55 and `~@'#304 have been changed, and both
1212 commands now use the same syntax:
1214 -a file[=input-charset[#output-charset]]
1216 - New "failinvaddr" keyword for *expandaddr*#390.
1218 - We finally "can" the so-called (by myself) "Dr. Problem" (a bit):
1221 $ </dev/null s-nail -d:/ -sTrödler 'Dr. D. Iet <z@a.k>' 2>&1 |\
1223 s-nail: >>> To: "Dr. D. Iet" <z@a.k>
1225 This can be done via the new `addrcodec'#131, too, note this
1226 supports multiple modes (and the `vput'#118 command modifier):
1228 $ echo 'addrcodec e Dr. Diet <to@fu.soj> Curd' | s-nail -#:/
1229 "Dr. Diet Curd" <to@fu.soj>
1231 - All commands with the string "codec" in their name use different
1232 argument quoting, namely none at all, please read
1233 "Raw data arguments for codec commands"#25.
1234 This means that `urlcodec'#284 (and `imapcodec'#621) has
1235 slightly changed semantics.
1236 And, while here: there is a new `shcodec'#257, too.
1238 - We gained "Command modifiers"#21: `\'#113 (avoid expansion of
1239 `commandalias'#151es), `vput'#118 (store result in variable),
1240 `ignerr'#114 (ignore an error of the following command, even
1241 if the new *errexit*#388 is set), `wysh'#119 (use shell-style
1244 $ echo 'vput cwd resvar;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
1245 /home/steffen/src/nail.git
1247 And the usual sh(1) stuff: `return'#250, `shift'#261, `eval'#178,
1248 plus a `xcall'#293 stack-avoidance optimization (to be used in
1249 place of a `call'#140 which would be the last called command).
1250 And an "expr(1) like thing", yet simple, `vexpr'#289.
1252 $ echo 'vexpr + 1 2' | s-nail -#:/
1253 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000011
1255 $ echo 'vput vexpr resvar + 1 2;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
1258 We actually start walking (*?*#332, *^*#334).
1260 ? vput vexpr res regex 'bananarama' 'Bana(.+)' '\$1\$0'
1261 ? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
1263 ? vput vexpr res iregex 'bananarama' '(.+)rama' '\$1\$0'
1264 ? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
1265 0/NONE :bananabananarama:
1267 The command `vpospar'#290 can be used to manage the stack of
1268 positional parameters, i.e., much like "set --".
1269 It also offers the possibility to save and restore the stack to
1270 and from variables. Etc.
1272 Btw., to contact the maintainer (make.rc variables
1273 VAL_CONTACT_WEB and VAL_CONTACT_MAIL):
1275 ? echo $contact-web; eval mail $contact-mail
1277 - `if'#201 no longer performs automatic number conversion, we
1278 use the explicit -lt, -gt etc. syntax of the sh(1).
1279 Note: `if' will change to be almost identical to sh(1) if(1),
1280 so please ensure proper test bracketing, even if it is less
1283 Moreover, the default string comparison mode has changed to
1284 case-sensitive, just like in the shell. This is because in the
1285 future this crux with trigger characters will vanish and `if'
1286 etc. will simply slurp in already expanded shell tokens, it will
1287 act like the shell in that respect. We have modifiers, though,
1288 yet only "@i" for case-insensitivity, also for regex matches:
1291 i=`LC_ALL=C.utf8 s-nail -:/ -# -X '
1293 \if [ "${ttycharset}" @i=% utf ]
1297 \if [ "${#}" -gt 0 ]
1298 \wysh set LC_ALL=${1}
1300 \eval xcall cset_test "${@}"
1304 \call cset_test C.UTF-8 POSIX.utf8 POSIX.UTF-8 \
1305 en_EN.utf8 en_EN.UTF-8 en_US.utf8 en_US.UTF-8
1307 [ $? -eq 0 ] && UTF8_LOCALE=$i
1309 Please note the `eval' in 'eval xcall cset_test "${@}". This is
1310 a difference of S-nail/mailx and the sh(1)ell that will remain,
1311 as documented in "COMMANDS"#20: whereas the shell implements
1312 a language and performs standardized expansions on the line
1313 until finally the command is called, S-nail will decide the type
1314 of command line parsing dependent on the seen command, and will
1315 then perform a single expansion. Therefore "${@}" will expand
1316 to multiple arguments if $# is greater 0, but it will expand to
1317 the empty string otherwise, which is not furtherly expanded away
1318 since it is meaningless like it is in the shell: therefore $#
1319 will be 1 (the empty string) not 0.
1321 - Using an explicit proto:// prefix should get you the desired
1322 thing apart of *newfolders*#448, e.g.:
1324 ? File maildir:///tmp/x.mdir
1325 ? copy * file:///tmp/x.mbox
1327 - New variable *record-files*#487 can be set to extend the meaning
1328 of *record*#486. *record-resent*#488 was there already.
1330 - New variable *ifs*#414 acts a bit like the sh(1)ell's $IFS for,
1331 e.g., the new `read'#234 command.
1333 There is a `readctl'#236 command which can be used to manage
1334 the active channel used by `read'#234.
1336 - The `~' alias for `call'#140 is gone.
1338 - `mimetype'#209 only allows specification of a single type per
1339 call, on the other hand no need to quote that.
1341 - `mimeview'#213 must now be used explicitly to look at any
1342 non-text MIME part, for normal display etc. purposes we only
1343 support "copiousoutput"#608 MIME handlers.
1345 - New *socks-proxy*#524 can be used to proxy all network traffic
1346 over a SOCKS5 proxy. (Gaetan Bisson)
1351 - The manual has seen another major overhaul, all the variables
1352 are now documented in a single, sorted list, and many
1353 clarifications should have been added. I hope it has become
1355 (Predrag Punosevac, Michael Convey, Hariskar, Rudolf Sykora,
1356 Respiranto, Thomas Dickey, Donald Mugnai)
1358 - To support RFC 1524 a.k.a. .mailcap files (see below) many
1359 "trigger"-characters have been added for *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#462,
1360 which may (rarely) affect existing values.
1361 The .mailcap support itself is not yet implemented.
1363 - *mime-counter-evidence*#438 gained bit 4 (perform proper in-depth
1364 content inspection as necessary; set to 0xE for all bits).
1367 - Maildir paths are now created recursively as necessary.
1370 - -M#70 and -m#71 options have been added to enforce a special
1371 send mode that will flag standard input / the given file with
1372 the specified / detected MIME 'Content-Type:'. This can be used
1373 to directly send, e.g., HTML log output.
1374 (Viktor Szépe, Ralph Corderoy)
1376 - Disallow symlinks on writable files. Note this requires
1377 O_NOFOLLOW support for the operating-system-call open(2), but
1378 which has been standardized a long time ago.
1381 - `retain'#249, `ignore'#202 etc. now differentiate in between
1382 From (the From: header) and From_ (the MBOX ident).
1384 In fact we now have a new `headerpick'#195 command which
1385 is a multiplexer for all retain and ignore lists used, call it
1386 without arguments to see the current setting(s).
1387 In v15 only `headerpick' and the standard-imposed wrappers
1388 `retain' and `ignore' will remain, all other wrappers will
1389 vanish. Regular expressions can now be used if available:
1392 headerpick type retain blahblahblah cc date from \
1393 mail-followup-to message-id openpgp reply-to subject to \
1395 #headerpick type ignore currently covers no fields
1396 #headerpick save retain currently covers no fields
1397 headerpick save ignore '^Original-.*$' '^X-.*$' '^DKIM.*$'
1398 headerpick forward retain cc date from list-id \
1399 mail-followup-to openpgp reply-to subject to
1400 #headerpick forward ignore currently covers no fields
1402 - `top'#276 has been rewritten completely, `Top'#275 is new.
1403 It uses a built-in set of retain/ignore headers, but it is
1404 possible to register a custom set via `headerpick'#195.
1405 Also, *toplines*#559 has been extended a bit and the new
1406 *topsqueeze*#560 variable may pimp your `top' experience.
1408 ? headerpick top retain add subject
1410 [-- Message 1 -- 87 lines, 4791 bytes --]:
1411 Subject: Re: I can't dist to myself
1414 3.22. bounce_delivered
1416 - `features' has been dropped, `version'#288 extended.
1418 - The *prompt*#477 handling has changed: we lost the capability to
1419 expand \?, \@ and \$, instead new "private" variables *?*#332,
1420 *account*#343, *mailbox-resolved*#427 and
1421 *mailbox-display*#426 have been introduced, and the prompt
1422 is completely shell expanded (thus twice with `wysh' or in v15),
1423 as if dollar-single-quote quoted. We do support the reverse-
1424 solidus escaped bracket notation for embedding characters which
1425 should not be counted when calculating the width of the prompt.
1426 The `colour'#149 command has a slot for the prompt colour.
1427 We gained *prompt2*#478 as a second level prompt.
1431 prompt='?\${?}!\${!}[\${account}#\${mailbox-display}]? '
1433 - The filename "-" can be used as a receiver, e.g.,
1435 $ echo Hey,\ you | s-nail -:/ -Sexpandaddr -sUB -
1437 - The -s#78 command line option, the `~s'#325 command escape
1438 as well as the corresponding slots of `~^'#306 will actively
1439 strip [\r\n] from their value (Debian #419840).
1441 - New `read'#234 and `echoerr'#169 commands, mostly for
1442 *on-compose-splice*#455.
1443 But also `echon'#170 and `echoerrn'#171, which do not write
1446 - New variable *r-option-implicit*#484 may be helpful to those
1447 who regulary need the functionality of the -r#76 command
1448 line option. (Felipe Gasper, Martin Neitzel)
1450 - By using new "pseudo-URLs" one can automatize the use of S/MIME
1451 keys / (certificates / intermediate include certificates) with
1452 passwords. E.g., to drive bob@exam.ple, set
1453 *smime-sign-cert-bob@exam.ple* to the private key / certificate
1454 pair as usual, the password lookup will then be performed for
1455 bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-key, bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-cert and
1456 bob@exam.ple.smime-include-certs.
1457 Like this the password can be stored in an encrypted .netrc file
1458 when *netrc-lookup*#446 and *netrc-pipe*#447 are set, or it may
1459 be stored in an encrypted resource file that has been loaded via
1460 `source'#267 as a simple *password*#460 variable.
1462 Note that the prompting that happens as a last resort of
1463 password lookup will still interfere with a possibly running
1464 $PAGER#589 instance, dependent on the setting of *crt*#377, of
1465 course. Proper job control handling and recognizing that we are
1466 running $PAGER when doing that prompt is a TODO for v15. Sorry.
1468 - Some commands, like `set'#255, `help'#198, `list'#203,
1469 `mlist'#211 etc., now react upon the setting of *verbose*#566
1470 and(/or) *debug*#381.
1472 - `write'#292 uses iconv(3) as appropriate.
1474 - *mbox-rfc4155*#430 has first been dropped, and was then
1475 reintroduced with different semantics. Because, it can be
1476 helpful if a messed up MBOX is read, in which case we henceforth
1477 will warn you and point you to this:
1480 \localopts yes; \wysh set mbox-rfc4155;\
1481 \wysh File "${1}"; \eval copy * "${2}"
1483 ? call mboxfix /tmp/bad.mbox /tmp/good.mbox
1485 P.S. Here you see how weird the current thing still is, in v15:
1488 localopts yes; set mbox-rfc4155; File "${1}"; copy * -- "${2}"
1491 And also in v15 we will not apply (proper) so-called MBOXO
1492 quoting, but instead (simply MIME) re-encode mail messages.
1494 - `call_if'#141 is new and, different to "? ignerr call", silent
1495 and not messing with the return status.
1497 - The new *smime-ca-flags*#510 and *ssl-ca-flags*#537 can be used
1498 to fine-tune X509_STORE_set_flags(3) a.k.a the X509 CA
1499 certificate verification.
1501 ? set ssl-ca-flags=partial-chain
1502 ? wysh set smime-ca-flags="${ssl-ca-flags}"
1504 Also, *ssl-curves*#546 for TLSv1.3.
1506 - Socket connections use TLS S(erver)N(ame)I(ndication) as
1507 appropriate (RFC 7817).
1509 - `alternates'#134 checks arguments and supports `vput'#118.
1510 It by default no longer replaces but appends alternates, unless
1511 *posix*#475 mode is active. There is a new `unalternates'#135
1512 command to remove alternates.
1514 - A new `charsetalias'#144 command. (Pietro Cerutti, mutt#3925)
1516 - New commands `filetype'#182 and `unfiletype'#183: in the future
1517 we will no longer know any builtin filetypes, in fact we already
1518 simulate .gz etc. via the new mechanism as necessary:
1521 bz2 'bzip2 -dc' 'bzip2 -zc' \
1522 gpg 'gpg -d' 'gpg -e' \
1523 gz 'gzip -dc' 'gzip -c' \
1524 xz 'xz -dc' 'xz -zc' \
1525 zst 'zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc' \
1526 zst.pgp 'gpg -d | zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc | gpg -e'
1528 - `~<'#301 now offers a "- [HERE-delimiter]" mode for pasting etc.
1531 - `exit'#179 and `quit'#233 take an optional exit status.
1532 (That is not fixated yet, though.)
1534 - We have a useful -h / --help output. (Doug McIlroy)
1536 - *encoding* obsoleted in favour of new *mime-encoding*#439, which
1537 now defaults to base64.
1539 - *allnet*#345 now works (broken since nail 10.00, 2002-09-29).
