====================================

v14.9.0 ("Crow"), 2017-0?-??
----------------------------

  It introduces some **backward incompatibilities**!

This is a major feature release.
  Preview 3, 2016-12-31:
    IMAP still gone.  All known bugs have been fixed, and other
    usual progress has happened.
    Backward incompatible changes (to Preview 2):
    - new "default" `bind' context to not stain the very "base"
      with commands which don't make sense in other contexts
    - -a has been extended, ~@ has been changed!
    - Prompt handling has been changed.
    - `customhdr' and `uncustomhdr' have been removed again.
      The new `~^' command escape is much more powerful and
      provides reliable scripting capabilities, especially via the
      new *on-compose-done* and *on-compose-done-shell* hooks.
      The *customhdr* variable remains, and forever.

I didn't know where S-mailx will truly end up with, but only knew
i wanted to overcome the technical shortcomings, have a better
user experience (regarding the software) and that i wanted to
have, e.g., NNTP support.

During development of this release it became clear that the
general usage will be changed, backward incompatibly, and move
towards sh(1)ell style command line usage, that is to say, we will
turn over and will start parsing regular shell tokens, instead of
comma-separated lists, OR space-separated lists or whatever, and
will expand _any_ value content sh(1)ell-compatibly, instead of
not at all in general and only \t and \n in some others etc.

  wysh set a='${TMPDIR}\t/' b="${TMPDIR}\t/" c=$'\${TMPDIR}\t/'
  echo a=$a b=$b c=$c
  a=${TMPDIR}\t/ b=/tmp\t/ c=/tmp /
..
  set a='${TMPDIR}\t/' b="${TMPDIR}\t/" c=$'\${TMPDIR}\t/'
  echo a=$a b=$b c=$c
  a=${TMPDIR}\t/ b=${TMPDIR}\t/ c=$\${TMPDIR}\t/

(But don't do that).  All this is documented in COMMANDS#?.
Today only new commands (like `bind', `headerpick' etc.), but also
attachment selection, `remove' and `write' use this, others, like
`set', can optionally support it with a new command prefix: `wysh'.

NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* This release brings backward incompatibilities, especially for
  packagers and interactive use cases!

  + Anything which was WANT_xy before is now OPT_xy, and
    compiled-in paths and values, like PREFIX or PAGER, have
    gained a VAL_ prefix (thus VAL_PREFIX and VAL_PAGER).

    This is _not_ true for non-persistent or environmental values,
    e.g., DESTDIR, CC, etc, and also not for the overwritable
    program variables during configuration, e.g., $awk.

  + SENDMAIL -> VAL_MTA, SENDMAIL_PROGNAME -> VAL_MTA_ARGV0,
    MAILSPOOL -> VAL_MAIL.

  + The make system now needs config..build..install or
    all..install or tangerine (config..build..test..install).

  + The `build' phase can be parallelized by setting the MAILJOBS
    environment variable, e.g., "make MAILJOBS='-j 4' build".
    Note this variable is not tracked in the configuration.
    (Gaetan Bisson)

  + Set the new OPT_CROSS_BUILD to avoid feature runtime tests,
    only compile- and link-availability will be tested.  (Juan RP)

  + VERBOSE is implemented straight, but must be given at
    configuration time in order to become honoured.
    (William Yodlowsky)

  + ADDCFLAGS / ADDLDFLAGS -> EXTRA_CFLAGS / EXTRA_LDFLAGS

  + The LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. building processes will skip any path
    which contains the string "fakeroot".  (Hilko Bengen)

  + We honour a set *SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH*#? environment variable.
    [df4954c]  (reproducible-builds.org; Colin Watson)

  + Packagers should have received diffs against v14.8.14
    packaging files.

  + These are upward compatible changes.

- To support RFC 1524 a.k.a. .mailcap files (see below) many
  "trigger"-characters have been added for *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#?,
  which may (rarely) affect existing values. [topic/mimepipe.2]

- *NAIL_{HEAD,TAIL}* have been obsoleted in favour of
  *message-inject-head*#? and *message-inject-tail*#?.

- *NAIL_HIST{FILE,SIZE}* have been obsoleted in favour of
  *history-file*#? and *history-size*#?.

- `-H'#? and `-L'#? have been decoupled:
   it used to be `-e'#? `-L'#? instead!

- Colour support has been changed backward in- and upward (from user
  interface side) compatibly, manual section "Coloured display"#?
  [topic/colour.2, topic/termcap.2, topic/wysh]:

  o New commands: `colour'#? and `uncolour'#?.
    You can define context-sensitive, terminal-capability-sensitive
    settings, e.g.:

      if terminal && $features @= +colour
        colour iso  view-header ft=bold,fg=magenta,bg=cyan
        colour 256  view-header ft=bold,fg=208,bg=230 subject,from
        colour mono view-header ft=bold
        colour mono view-header ft=bold,ft=reverse subject,from
      endif

  o The variable *colour-pager*#? defines whether colour and font
    attribute sequences should be generated when viewing something
    in $PAGER.

  o Set the variable *colour-disable*#? to turn colour off without
    affecting established settings.

  o It is deduced via termcap(5) (see below) whether the terminal
    supports colors, e.g., "s-nail -Stermcap=Co#256".
    This is also true if we don't have termcap support.

  o Support for 256-colour terminals. (Gavin Troy)

- `source'#? series support shell pipes if the last character of
   the "filename" ends with a vertical bar |, e.g.,

      source 'gpg -qd ~/.s-nailrc-private.gpg |'

- Shell pipes are also supported as targets for `move'#?,
  `copy'#? etc., e.g.,

      copy . '| cat; echo huhu'

- Support for custom headers via the new `~^'#? compose-mode
  command escape and the internal variable *customhdr*#?,
  which can be covered by `localopts'#?.  [topic/customhdr]
  (Sergey Matveev)

  o Support of *ORGANIZATION* has been dropped.

  o In compose mode `~e'#? supports _any_ header.

  o In compose mode `~^'#? supports _any_ header.

- New -:#? command line option can be used to more easily select
  which startup files should be loaded.
  (Robert Elz)

- `account'#?s and *folder-hook*#?s now have `localopts'#?
   enabled by default.

- A first simple form of compose-mode hooks has been implemented:
  *on-compose-enter*#? and *on-compose-leave*#? can be set to
  macros which get invoked at appropriate times, with `localopts'#?
  enabled (which extend until the message is sent).

  An even more powerful mechanism is available via the also new
  *on-compose-done* and *on-compose-done-shell* hooks, e.g.,
  (Jens Schleusener, Rudolf Sykora)

    set on-compose-done=ocdm
    define ocdm {
      read ver
      echo version is $ver
      if $features !@ +regex
        echoerr 'Need regular-expression support, aborting send'
        echo '~x'
      endif
      echo '~^header list'
      read hl
      if $hl !~ ^2
        echoerr 'Failed to read header list, bailing out'
        echo '~x'
      endif
      if $hl !@ ' cc'
        echo '~^header insert cc Diet is your <mirr.or>'
        read es
        if $es !~ ^2
          echoerr 'Failed to insert Cc: header, bailing out'
          echo '~x'
        endif
      endif
    }

- "The .netrc file"#?

  o gained support for comments.
    (Walter Alejandro Iglesias, Ralph Corderoy)

  o `netrc'#? now has a "load" subcommand.

  o the new *netrc-pipe*#? obsoletes OPT_AGENT and
    *agent-shell-lookup* and can be used to load an encrypted
    .netrc file, e.g.:

      wysh set netrc-lookup netrc-pipe='gpg -qd ~/.netrc.gpg'

    E.g., this is in usual .netrc syntax and thus possibly much
    nicer than saying "source 'gpg -qd ~/.credentials.gpg |'".

- termcap(5) / terminfo(5) support has been changed backward in-
  and upward (from user interface side) compatibly, please read
  "On terminal control and line editor"#? [topic/termcap.2]

  o OPT_TERMCAP is by default enabled.
    The new, by default enabled, configuration option
    OPT_TERMCAP_VIA_TERMINFO can be used to (try to) use terminfo(5)
    instead.

  o The variable *termcap*#? can be used to freely define or
    override terminal capabilities, and *termcap-disable*#? will
    disable interaction with the chosen library, leaving only
    *termcap* in charge.

  o The builtin line editor has been rather completely rewritten to
    be the Mailx-Line-Editor (OPT_MLE, default yes), and supports
    wide glyphs (if possible), infinite line lengths (2 GB) and more.
    Tabulator expansion is no longer an option (but needs
    fnmatch(3)).

  o Optionally (OPT_KEY_BINDINGS, default yes) it has become possible
    to freely define key bindings for the MLE via the new `bind'#?
    and `unbind'#? commands.  These key bindings can make use
    of termcap(5) and/or terminfo(5) names.  The MLE will install
    a set of default bindings, more with OPT_TERMCAP: "bind*".

  o OPT_EDITLINE and OPT_READLINE support have been dropped.
    The new MLE should not miss anything.  Does it?
    Tip: in an UTF-8 locale try "touch /tmp/hall{,öchen}" and then
    autocomplete that: once, then ^Q, and again.

- `source'#? can be used in `call'#?ed macros.
  What sounds so innocent replaced an entire machinery and got rid of
  a brilliant idea of Kurt Shoens from the 70s, but which never worked
  with Nail/Heirloom extensions, namely macros, and in right order.

  Accompanying this `-X'#? can be used to define macros and run
  them etc.  We're still not there, S-nail v15 -- then S-mailx! -- will
  change the entire codebase to use SystemV signal handling, instead of
  going the BSD way that is, like used here, both, very expensive due to
  the immense amount of signal managing systemcalls and insecure due to
  almost uncontrollable longjmp()s.  Should work:

    s-nail -X'define x {' -Xversion -Xx -X'}' -X'call x'
    s-nail -X'source \' -X'"echo version|"' -Xx

- Internal and environment variables are now explicitly _defined_ and
  _tracked_ after variable handling has been rewritten completely.
  [topic/okeys-attr.2]

  o Notes:
    + This means that, e.g., "password=NOT_SECRET s-nail" will **NOT**
      work no more, since *password*#? is an internal variable!

    + But if you do, e.g., "set TMPDIR=~/tmp", then this will also be
      reflected in the program environment (it is an environment
      variable) and thus affect child processes.

    + Therefore we no longer have `setenv' and `unsetenv'.

    + To integrate any other environment variable transparently
      into our variable management, the new command `environ'#?
      needs to be used, e.g., "environ set NEWVAR=value" or
      "environ link EXISTINGVAR".

  o `-u'#? / *LOGNAME*#? (*USER*) handling has been redefined,
    and "-u USER" is now exactly the same as "-f %USER", and
    *LOGNAME* (and *USER*) is actively set to the active user.  (Afan)

    *LOGNAME*#? is POSIX standardized and henceforth used and
    preferred over *USER*, which came from BSD.  (Todd C. Miller)

- In the future (at least non-message-list) argument handling will
  be changed backward-incompatibly to be sh(1)ell compatible (and
  thus POSIX standardized).  New commands use it already today
  (`bind'#?, `colour'#?, `headerpick'#?), some others (most
  importantly, `set'#?) can be forced to do so via the new `wysh'
  command prefix, as in: [topic/wysh]

    wysh set message-inject-tail=$'\n--steffen'
    bind base $'\cA,\x61' 'echo control-A and small a'

- We now actively manage *umask*#?: 0077 by default, but an
  empty string will use the setting that is active upon startup.
  Like any change to (known) environment variables this setting
  will also be inherited by any child process.
  (Walter Alejandro Iglesias)

- Anything SENDMAIL / *sendmail*-ish has been renamed to *mta*#?,
  *mta-arguments*#?, *mta-no-default-argument*#? and
  *mta-argv0*#?.

  The reason is that in v15 we won't even have *smtp*: it is just
  another form of MTA, and thus obsolete by itself.

  For now we support a hack that understands a file:// URL in
  *mta*, too, but that is also the default if there is no protocol.
  E.g.: "set mta=smtp://a:b@xy.z"

- The "spamd" spam interface is obsolete.  I haven't tested it
  since my main machine died, it is error prone since it assumes
  internals of the spamassassin wire protocol, and there never was
  a speed improvement against "spamc".  (However it could react
  upon the current "is-spam" state of a message, which "spamc"
  doesn't allow.)

- The new *inbox*#? variable will henceforth be looked up when
  searching for a primary system mailbox (as in "? File %"),
  followed by the usual *MAIL*#? and compile-time mailspool
  search.  (Stephen Isard, Jürgen Daubert)

- New "failinvaddr" keyword for *expandaddr*#?.

- We finally "can" the so-called (by myself) "Dr. Problem" (a bit):

    echo|./s-nail -:/ -sTrödel -dSencoding=8bit \
      'Dr. Diet Curd <to@fu.soj>' 2>&1|\
    grep To:
    s-nail: >>> To: "Dr. Diet Curd" <to@fu.soj>

ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^

- The manual has seen another major overhaul, all the variables are now
  documented in a single, sorted list, and many clarifications should
  have been added. [topic/manual.10]
  (Predrag Punosevac, Michael Convey, Hariskar, Rudolf Sykora,
  Respiranto, Thomas Dickey, Donald Mugnai)

- *mime-counter-evidence*#? gained bit 4 (perform proper in-depth
  content inspection as necessary; set to 0xE for all bits).
  [topic/mimetype.2]  (Aharon Robbins)

- Maildir paths are now created recursively as necessary.
  (Justin Ellingwood)

- `-M'#? and `-m'#? options have been added to enforce a special
  send mode that will flag standard input / the given file with the
  specified / detected MIME 'Content-Type:'.  This can be used to
  directly send, e.g., HTML log output.  Note that before v15 this
  is a bit restricted: you are not free to do anything.
  (Viktro Szépe, Ralph Corderoy)

- Disallow symlinks on writable files (O_NOFOLLOW open(2)).
  (Matthew Dillon)

- `retain'#?, `ignore'#? etc. now differentiate in between
  From (the From: header) and From_ (the MBOX ident).

  In fact we now have a new `headerpick'#? command which
  is a multiplexer for all retain and ignore lists used, call it
  without arguments to see the current setting of them all.
  In v15 only `headerpick' and the standard-imposed wrappers
  `retain' and `ignore' will remain, all other wrappers will
  vanish.  Regular expressions can now be used if available:

    ?0[ich /var/spool/mail/steffen]? headerpick
    headerpick type retain add blahblahblah cc date from \
      mail-followup-to message-id openpgp reply-to subject to \
      user-agent
    #headerpick type ignore currently covers no fields
    #headerpick save retain currently covers no fields
    headerpick save ignore add '^Original-.*$' '^X-.*$'
    headerpick forward retain add cc date from list-id \
      mail-followup-to reply-to subject to
    #headerpick forward ignore currently covers no fields

- `top'#? has been rewritten completely, `Top'#? is new.
  It uses a builtin set of retain/ignore headers, but it is
  possible to register a custom set via `headerpick:

    ? headerpick top retain add subject
    ? top
    [-- Message  1 -- 87 lines, 4791 bytes --]:
    Subject: Re: I can't dist to myself

    I wrote:
        3.22. bounce_delivered

- `features' has been dropped, `version'#? extended.

- The *prompt*#? handling has changed: we lost the capability to
  expand \?, \@ and \$, instead new "private" variables
  *-account-name*#?, *-exit-status*#?, *-mailbox-resolved*#?
  and *-mailbox-display*#? have been introduced, and the prompt
  is completely shell expanded (thus twice with `wysh' or in v15),
  as if dollar-single-quote quoted.
  We gained *prompt2*#? as a second level prompt.

    ? var prompt
    wysh set prompt='?\${-exit-status}[\${-account-name} \${-mailbox-display}]? '

- The filename "-" can be used as a receiver, e.g.,

    echo 'From Blödel'|s-nail -:/ -Sexpandaddr -sTrödel -

- The `-s'#? command line option, the `~s'#? command escape
  as well as the corresponding slots of `~^'#? will actively
  strip [\r\n] from their value (Debian #419840).

- New `read'#? and `echoerr'#? commands, mostly for
  *on-compose-done*#?.

- New variable *r-option-implicit*#? may be helpful to those
  who regulary need the functionality of the `-r'#? command
  line option.  (Felipe Gasper, Martin Neitzel)

- By using new "pseudo-URLs" one can automatize the use of S/MIME
  keys / (certificates / intermediate include certificates) with
  passwords.  E.g., to drive bob@exam.ple, set
  *smime-sign-cert-bob@example* to the private key / certificate
  pair as usual, the password lookup will then be performed for
  bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-key, bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-cert and
  bob@exam.ple.smime-include-certs.
  Like this the password can be stored in an encrypted .netrc file
  when *netrc-lookup*#? is set, or it may be stored in an
  encrypted resource file that has been loaded via `source'#?
  as a simple *password*#? variable.

  Note that the prompting that happens as a last resort will still
  interfere with a possibly running $PAGER instance, dependent on
  the setting of *crt*#?, of course.  Proper job control
  handling and recognizing that we are running $PAGER when doing
  that prompt is a TODO for v15.  Sorry.

- Some commands, like `set'#?, `help'#?, `list'#?,
  `mlist'#? etc., now react upon the setting of *verbose*#?
  and(/or) *debug*#?.

Appendix
^^^^^^^^

The complete changelog of commits in between two versions OLD and
NEW can be inspected by using the git(1) `log' command:

  $ git log --reverse --topo-order --abbrev-commit OLD..NEW
  # Only topic branch headers (--no-merges for content commits only):
  $ git log --oneline --reverse --topo-order --merges OLD..NEW
  # Same, but truly accessible:
  $ git log --oneline --reverse --topo-order --merges --parents OLD..NEW |
    while read c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6; do
      printf "%-24s: \$ git log --oneline --no-merges %s ^%s\n" \
        "${c6}" "${c1}" "${c2}";
    done

NEWS entries for the S-nail releases before v14.9.0 have been cut off
before release v14.9.0 and can be found in the git(1) repository:

  v14.8.0 - v14.8.14: $ git show v14.8.14:NEWS
  v13     - v14.8.5 : $ git show v14.8.5:NEWS
  9.0     - 12.5    : $ git show heirloom:ChangeLog

Also accessible via the following URL, just replace X.Y.Z accordingly:
  https://git.sdaoden.eu/cgit/s-nail.git/tree/NEWS?h=vX.Y.Y
For even older releases you need to look into the [timeline] branch, but
no changelog has been administrated for them.

Note:
The content has been vaporised.  Ways to access the leakage are
documented in the newest announcement at the top of this file.
