10 -------------------------------------------------------
12 A bugfix release which fixes two bugs which were cast in stone.
13 A few compatibility improvements (AlpineLinux, Solaris).
16 Apologies to Jörg Schilling, a git bug i think it was who caused
17 joining of changesets, loosing a credit, and it had been pushed to
18 [master] before the problem was realized.

25 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
26 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
28 - New OPT_USE_PKGSYS option can be disabled to not automatically
29 pick known package system paths (pkg(7), OpenCSW, schily).
35 - The software indeed _never_ dealt with iconv(3) output character
36 set errors (as opposed to invalid input character set byte
37 sequences etc.) for the main message body!
38 And I have missed that when i tweaked our iconv layer a bit!
40 - Fixed a race condition with sigsuspend(2) that i could only see
41 on OpenBSD. config.h offers n_SIGSUSPEND_NOT_WAITPID, by the
42 way, which saves some systemcalls and did not run races, but
43 noone adjusts this file.
45 - Message list specifications gained two new colon modifiers, one
46 can now "search :Ll" to find "Mailing lists"#10.
47 The *headline*#400 format %T now also uses L and l rather than
50 New `addrcodec'#? subcommand `skinlist' acts like `skin'
51 but stores in *!*#329 *^ERR*#?-EXIST if the address is
52 one of the known "Mailing lists"#10.
54 - `echo'#? family now supports `vput'#114 and *!*#329 error
55 storage, offering some kind of printf(1) experience, almost.

78 v14.9.4 ("(5th anniversary) Marsh tit"), 2017-09-18
79 ---------------------------------------------------
81 This is an update feature release but which also ships a furious
82 number of bug fixes, about six of which were pretty serious. It
83 also applies overall trimming, and improves configuration time
84 compatibility on macOS.
86 Thanks to Alexander Harm there is now a macOS Homebrew package.

93 We welcome Daniel Lublin, Alexander Harm, David Čepelík and
94 Stéphane Chazelas in THANKS.
96 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
97 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
99 - Out-of-tree builds have become possible via the new
100 make-emerge.sh script:
102 $ cd /tmp && mkdir build && cd build &&
103 ~/src/nail.git/make-emerge.sh &&
104 make tangerine DESTDIR=.ddir
106 We now have a `citron' make target which is like `tangerine' but
107 does not run the tests.
109 - Configuration with OPT_AUTOCC honours $CC=cc. (Norman Ramsey)
111 - SSL/TLS configuration has been revamped (again) in order to
112 support new possibilities of OpenSSL (and LibreSSL) without
113 ending up and introducing more and more variables.
115 Instead we now have *ssl-config-pairs*#536, a comma-separated
116 list of all options. With e.g. OpenSSL 1.1.xx this will be
117 directly passed through to SSL_CONF_cmd(), so there _anything_
118 can be passed, otherwise we use a builtin parser to map.
119 The new *ssl-features*#540 states what is supported. E.g.:
121 if [ "$ssl-features" =% +ctx-set-maxmin-proto ]
122 wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
123 CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
124 Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
127 wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
128 CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
129 Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
130 Protocol=-ALL\,+TLSv1.1 \, +TLSv1.2'
133 OpenSSL v1.1.xx also introduces an interesting and neat idea to
134 centralize SSL/TLS configuration of (all) programs in a single
135 file. This can be driven via *ssl-config-file*#534 and the new
136 *ssl-config-module*#535 variables, several entries per program
137 are allowed, see *ssl-config-module*#535 for an example.
139 New manual section "Encrypted network communication"#13.
141 - Variables set or unset via -S#74 are now frozen until program
147 - Historical behaviour of *askcc*#345 / *askbcc*#346 has been
148 reintroduced. (Norman Ramsey)
150 A new *asksend*#347 variable will show a final header summary
151 and allows reentering compose mode. Set by default.
153 POSIX mirrors *ask* onto *asksub*#349, so dropped" the former.
155 - `~^'#302 no longer normalizes header names to titlecase.
157 - We no longer generate charset=binary MIME parameters.
158 This was introduced on 2013-01-02 and was i think owed to
159 file(1)s -i output as i failed to find any other reference.
162 - *mime-alternative-favour-rich*#432 now also works for handlers
163 installed via *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#456. (Viktor Szépe)
165 - v14.9.* series did not generate In-Reply-To: headers!
167 - `alias'#128 now supports high-bit bytes and semicolon.
168 Expect that at some later time the input must be valid according
169 to the locale, though. (Norman Ramsey)
171 - Combinations of *record*#479 could crash because of an
172 unterminated variable function argument list. (Norman Ramsey)
174 - New command `readall'#231 loads an entire file into a variable.
176 *signature*#499 has been obsoleted.
178 - `vexpr'#285 now supports negative arguments for the substring
179 subcommand and adds trim, trim-front and trim-end subcommands.
181 - `!'#118 can be used in send mode.
183 - `~A'#303, `~a'#304, `~I'#313 and `~i'#314 will henceforth expand
184 \t and \n only if *posix*#469 is set.
185 Please use `set'#251 instead (with `wysh'#115, until v15).
187 - New "The mime.types files"#35 type marker: @q ("quiet").

243 ------------------------------------------------------------
245 This is a bugfix release but which ships some improvements, too.
246 It silently replaces both of v14.9.1 v14.9.2 from earlier this
247 week, which were broken or not entirely fixed.
249 Credits, in order of commit appearance: Felix Fontein, Paul Vojta,
250 Ralph Corderoy, Christos Zoulas, Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson.
251 Thanks, Coverity.com.
253 We welcome Christos Zoulas in THANKS.
255 Apologies to Viktor Szépe for the false spelling of his name in
256 the v14.9.0 announcement.
257 And to Gaetan Bisson for not giving credit for [14fbce97]!
259 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
260 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
262 - fakeroot support was blindly taken from Debian and broken.
263 (Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson)
265 - Base64 output was broken for cases which involved iconv(3).
266 The data is not lost, you can read it with S-nail v14.9.0 and
267 above, and save it somewhere. I know of no other base64 decoder
268 which reads those things correctly, though. We now have tests.
269 Along this i fixed an iconv(3) error which likely caused
270 stateful decoding (like, e.g., for ISO-2022-JP) to fail because
271 of an unnecessary reset of the iconv(3) state machine.
272 Thanks to Gaetan Bisson for mentioning this issue!
277 - In compose mode the MLE allows empty lines again.
279 - We no longer require a writable $HOME#568. Due to false code
280 flow (but but but: with correct comment) a non-writable $HOME
281 entry in /etc/password (i.e., from getpwuid(3)) would lead to
282 a crash. (Felix Fontain; Ralph Corderoy)
284 - Two faulty string operations slipped into the IMAP code,
285 resulting in a crash and a "is-same-host" test that would fail
286 for IMAPS connections like `save'#248 or `copy'#150 because of an
287 implicit IMAP protocol for the target of those operations (thus
288 IMAP != IMAPS). (Paul Vojta)
290 - The MLE tab-expansion will now automatically append a "/" if
291 there is only one possible expansion and that is a directory,
292 saving the user one <TAB>. (Christos Zoulas)
294 The shell expression parser had a bug regarding understood
295 metacharacters (;|&), which in turn could cause an infinite loop
296 in the MLE tab-expansion for, e.g., "move &9 +<TAB>", because
297 the "&" would never have been stepped over.
299 - New `~I'#313 command escape is like `~i'#314 but does not append
302 - `localopts'#200 gained an optional second argument.
303 It is now possible to specify that any macro `call'#136ed
304 will have localopts enabled, and it is possible to fixate the
305 setting so that it cannot be reverted.
307 - *@*#335 should now act completely compatible to the sh(1)ell,
308 thus obsoleting my hysteric warnings in the v14.9.0 announcement.
310 - The `Lreply'#201, `reply'#236, `Reply'#235 series as well as
311 `mail'#203 now manage the error status *!*#329.
312 I.e., there are now errors like *^ERR*#331-DESTADDRREQ,
313 ^ERR-NODATA, ^ERR-PERM and similar. It is not perfect yet,
314 because $DEAD#566 may have been written (with *save*#487) or not,
317 `Lreply' and `reply' have been rewritten rather completely
318 indeed. They join Reply-To: and Mail-Followup-To: dependent on
319 the context (i.e., *reply-to-honour*#485, *followup-to-honour*#394,
320 see "Mailing lists"#10 for the picture), and if they did, use
321 this list as the receivers exclusively. It now honours
322 *recipients-in-cc*#478 even for such addressees. (And now i wonder
323 whether i should have credited Paul Vojta for that.)
325 Also `Lreply' would have crashed for mails with Reply-To: but
326 without *reply-to-honour*#485 set. We now have a test.
328 Note *replyto* is obsoleted in favour of *reply-to*#484.

346 v14.9.0 ("Long-tailed tit"), 2017-07-16
347 ---------------------------------------
349 This is a major feature release which took about ~22 months (24
350 less two) of development to complete, and which imposed massive
351 changes under the hood, but also quite a lot of user visible
352 changes, including some **backward incompatibilities**.
353 As usual, "s-nail -d" will show obsoletion warnings.
355 We gain noticeable improvements regarding scriptability and its
356 reliability, but also for interactive use cases, especially
357 notable to users is our completely new M(ailx)L(ine)E(ditor) that
358 supports rather real tabulator expansion and program-mode-context-
359 sensitive key bindings.
361 We now support macros with arguments, which can be `shift'ed,
362 a `return' status can be used, and a `vexpr' multiplexer offers
363 some arithmetic and string operations. `commandalias'es are
364 recursive, further command modifier prefixes, like `ignerr', give
365 a hand that we otherwise could not offer. In compose-mode the new
366 `~^' command escape allows some message and attachment access, and
367 can be used, e.g., to implement things like custom headers, and
368 has been especially designed for scripted access via the new
369 *on-compose-splice* and *on-compose-splice-shell* hooks.
371 S-nail will move (more or less) backward-incompatibly to sh(1)ell
372 compatible argument quoting (documented in "COMMANDS"), and an
373 increasing number of commands do support this already: new ones
374 exclusively, some old ones have either been switched (like
375 `localopts'), others -- noticeably `set' -- can be switched to the
376 new syntax with a `wysh' command modifier prefix. E.g.:
379 # Be careful to choose sh(1)ell-style on _entire_ line!
380 localopts yes; wysh set verbose; ignerr eval "${@}"; return $?
382 ? commandalias call echo boo-boo
383 ? commandalias xv call __xv
385 ? commandalias xv '\'call __xv
388 Calling the latter `xv' for `list' will give more detailed command
389 information, including which kind of argument is used.
391 I have not managed to implement the three features i have started
392 this development cycle for, these are thus subject to further
393 development, just like wysh for message-list argument commands to
394 support, e.g., negation, wysh for `if' and consorts, the --
395 terminator to finally overcome the ridiculous requirement to quote
396 entire shell commands filenames for commands like `pipe.

426 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
427 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
429 * This release brings some backward incompatibilities, outlined
430 in the following. Most users will not be affected, and we have
431 added a lot of compatibility cruft, but that will vanish in v15.
434 * The configuration and build system has changed.
435 Packagers have received updated package files.
437 o Anything which was WANT_xy before is now OPT_xy, and
438 compiled-in paths and values, like PREFIX or PAGER, have
439 gained a VAL_ prefix (thus VAL_PREFIX and VAL_PAGER).
441 This is _not_ true for non-persistent or environmental values,
442 e.g., DESTDIR, CC, etc., and also not for the overwritable
443 program variables during configuration, e.g., $awk.
445 o SENDMAIL -> VAL_MTA, SENDMAIL_PROGNAME -> VAL_MTA_ARGV0,
446 MAILSPOOL -> VAL_MAIL.
447 And NAIL -> VAL_MAILX, though this is still a lie.
449 o The make system now needs config..build..install or
450 all..install or tangerine (config..build..test..install).
451 Some constants which some experts may want to fine-tune have
452 been moved to config.h. Usual adjustments+doc via make.rc.
454 o The `build' phase can be parallelized by setting the $MAKEJOBS
455 environment variable, e.g., "make MAKEJOBS=-j4 build".
456 Note this variable is not tracked in the configuration.
459 o Unless DESTDIR is set an uninstallation script will be
460 installed along with the rest (see INSTALL file for more).
462 o Set the new OPT_CROSS_BUILD to avoid feature runtime tests,
463 only compile- and link-availability will be tested. (Juan RP)
465 o VERBOSE is implemented straight, but must be given at
466 configuration time in order to become honoured.
469 o ADDCFLAGS / ADDLDFLAGS -> EXTRA_CFLAGS / EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
471 o The LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. building processes will skip any path
472 which contains the string "fakeroot". (Hilko Bengen)
474 o We honour a set $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH#585 environment variable to
475 an extend that allows reproducible tests, which is why the
476 repository gained a [test-out] branch with some expected plain
477 text outputs. (reproducible-builds.org; Colin Watson)
479 The new *log-prefix*#420 variable aids in improving the
480 reproducibility of error messages.
482 o These are upward compatible changes.
484 * "make OPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000 all" should work.
486 * Internal and environment variables are now explicitly _defined_
487 and _tracked_ after variable handling has been rewritten
490 o This means that, e.g., "$ password=NOT_SECRET s-nail" will
491 **NOT** work no more, since *password*#454 is an internal
494 o But if you do, e.g., "? set TMPDIR=~/tmp", then this will
495 also be reflected in the program environment (it is an
496 environment variable) and thus affect child processes.
498 o Therefore we no longer have `setenv' and `unsetenv'.
500 o To integrate any other environment variable transparently
501 into our variable management, the new command `environ'#172
502 needs to be used, e.g., "? environ set NEWVAR=value" or
503 "? environ link EXISTINGVAR".
505 - -H#63 and -L#66 have been decoupled:
506 it used to be -e#60 -L#66 instead!
508 - *NAIL_{HEAD,TAIL}* have been obsoleted in favour of
509 *message-inject-head*#428 and *message-inject-tail*#429.
511 *NAIL_HIST{FILE,SIZE}* have been obsoleted in favour of
512 *history-file*#402 and *history-size*#405.
514 *NAIL_EXTRA_RC* has been obsoleted in favour of
515 *mailx-extra-rc*#423.
517 *batch-exit-on-error* has been obsoleted by *errexit*#384, which
518 works just like the POSIX sh(1)ell "set -e" construct; the
519 `ignerr'#111 command modifier (`-' for command escapes in compose
520 mode, and see below) can be used to ignore command errors even
521 then. (This will remain even if we at some later time will
522 support at least some of the sh(1) constructs which "swallow"
523 failures with set -e.)
525 *bsdannounce* is obsolete, the feature is integrated in
526 *header*#399 as this is much more useful. (This is however also
527 dependent upon the also new but well-known $POSIXLY_CORRECT#583
528 <> *posix*#469, but that is just how it is; these affect more
529 behaviour, and increasing.)
531 - Colour support has been changed backward in- and upward (from
532 user interface side) compatibly, see the manual section
533 "Coloured display"#18.
535 + New commands: `colour'#145 and `uncolour'#146.
536 You can define context-sensitive, terminal-capability-
537 sensitive settings, e.g.:
539 if terminal && [ "$features" =% +colour ]
540 colour iso view-header ft=bold,fg=magenta,bg=cyan
541 colour 256 view-header ft=bold,fg=208,bg=230 subject,from
542 colour mono view-header ft=bold
543 colour mono view-header ft=bold,ft=reverse subject,from
546 + The variable *colour-pager*#370 defines whether colour and font
547 attribute sequences should be generated when viewing something
550 + Set the variable *colour-disable*#369 to turn colour off
551 without affecting established settings.
553 + It is deduced via termcap(5) (see below) whether the terminal
554 supports colors, e.g., "$ s-nail -Stermcap=Co#256".
555 This is also true if we don't have termcap support.
557 + Support for 256-colour terminals. (Gavin Troy)
559 - `source'#263 series support shell pipes if the last character
560 of the "filename" ends with a vertical bar |, e.g.,
562 ? source 'gpg -qd ~/.s-nailrc-private.gpg |'
564 - Shell pipes are also supported as targets for `move'#213,
565 `copy'#150 etc., yet unfortunately not with via a sh(1)ell token
566 parser, so that the target still has to be a single argument.
568 ? copy . '| cat; echo huhu'
570 - Support for custom headers via the new `~^'#302 compose-mode
571 command escape and in addition, or alternatively, with the
572 internal variable *customhdr*#374, which also can be covered by
573 `localopts'#200. (Sergey Matveev)
575 + Support of $ORGANIZATION has been dropped.
577 + Command escape `~e'#308 supports _any_ header.
579 + Command escape `~^'#302 supports _any_ header.
581 - New -:#52 command line option can be used to more easily select
582 which startup files should be loaded, e.g., -:/ loads none.
585 - `account'#125s and *folder-hook*#391s now have `localopts'#200
588 - A first simple form of compose-mode hooks has been implemented:
589 *on-compose-enter*#447, *on-compose-leave*#448 and
590 *on-compose-cleanup*#446 can be set to macros which get invoked
591 at appropriate times.
592 For the `resend'#240 series there is *on-resend-enter*#452 and
593 *on-resend-cleanup*#451: this is very likely to change once
594 true message access is possible even in this mode.
596 An even more powerful mechanism is available via the also new
597 *on-compose-splice*#449 and *on-compose-splice-shell*#450 hooks.
598 These are executed in child processes and communicate with the
599 parent via their standard input and output, and therefore can
600 do anything and act as if they were the user.
602 `localopts'#200 are enabled and cannot be disabled (and extend
603 until the message is sent).
604 (Jens Schleusener, Rudolf Sykora)
606 ? set on-compose-splice=ocs
609 echo Splice protocol version is $ver
611 read hl; vput vexpr es substring "${hl}" 0 1
613 echoerr 'Failed to read header list, bailing out'
615 elif [ "$hl" @i!% ' cc' ]
616 echo '~^header insert cc Diet is your <mirr.or>'
617 read es; vput vexpr es substr "${es}" 0 1
619 echoerr 'Failed to insert Cc:, bailing out'; echo '~x'
624 - "The .netrc file"#37
626 + gained support for comments.
627 (Walter Alejandro Iglesias, Ralph Corderoy)
629 + `netrc'#216 now has a "load" subcommand.
631 + the new *netrc-pipe*#441 obsoletes OPT_AGENT and
632 *agent-shell-lookup*, and can be used to load an encrypted
635 ? set netrc-lookup netrc-pipe='gpg -qd ~/.netrc.gpg'
637 I.e., this is in usual .netrc syntax and thus possibly much
638 nicer than saying "? source 'gpg -qd ~/.credentials.gpg |'".
640 - termcap(5) / terminfo(5) support has been changed backward in-
641 and upward (from user interface side) compatibly, please read
642 "On terminal control and line editor"#17.
644 + OPT_TERMCAP is by default enabled.
645 The new, by default enabled, configuration option
646 OPT_TERMCAP_VIA_TERMINFO can be used to (try to) use
649 + The variable *termcap*#548 can be used to freely define or
650 override terminal capabilities, and *termcap-disable*#550 will
651 disable interaction with the chosen library, leaving only
654 To use the so-called ca-mode on supporting terminals,
655 effectively turning S-nail into a fullscreen application,
656 *termcap-ca-mode*#549 must be set.
658 + The built-in line editor has been rather completely rewritten
659 to be the Mailx-Line-Editor (OPT_MLE, default yes), and
660 supports wide glyphs (if possible), infinite line lengths
661 (2 GB) and more. Tabulator expansion is no longer an option
662 (but needs fnmatch(3)).
664 + Optionally (OPT_KEY_BINDINGS, default yes) it has become
665 possible to freely define key bindings for the MLE via the new
666 `bind'#134 and `unbind'#135 commands. These key bindings can
667 make use of termcap(5) and/or terminfo(5) names. The MLE will
668 install a set of default bindings (unless there is a set
669 *line-editor-no-defaults*#419), more so with OPT_TERMCAP,
672 Sufficient support provided, one can now, e.g., type "p " and
673 then collect the message numbers to type, scrolling forward
674 and backward via key-bindings, without loosing the line
675 content, then commit the final line.
677 + OPT_EDITLINE and OPT_READLINE support have been dropped.
678 The new MLE should not miss anything. Does it?
679 Tip: in an UTF-8 locale try "? !touch /tmp/hall{,öchen}" and
680 then autocomplete that: once, then ^Q, and again.
682 - `source'#263 can be used in `call'#136ed macros.
683 What sounds so innocent replaced an entire machinery and got rid
684 of a brilliant idea of Kurt Shoens from the 70s, but which never
685 worked with Nail/Heirloom extensions, namely macros, and in the
687 Accompanying this -X#80 can (dig multiline arguments and can) be
688 used to define macros and run them etc. Should work:
690 $ s-nail -X'define x {' -Xversion -Xx -X'}' -X'call x'
691 $ s-nail -X'source \' -X'"echo version|"' -Xx
693 Macros can be `undefine'#155d from within themselves, and re-
694 `define'#154d. It is still not possible to define macros
695 from within macros, and/or have inner macros, not to talk
696 about local scoping or anything more sophisticated such.
698 - -u#77 / $LOGNAME#574 ($USER) handling has been redefined,
699 and "-u USER" is now exactly the same as "-f %USER", and
700 $LOGNAME (and $USER) is actively set to the active user. (Afan)
702 $LOGNAME#574 is POSIX standardized and henceforth used and
703 preferred over $USER, which came from BSD. (Todd C. Miller)
705 - In the future (at least non-message-list) argument handling will
706 be changed backward-incompatibly to be sh(1)ell compatible (and
707 thus POSIX standardized), see "Shell-style argument quoting"#24.
708 New commands use it already today (`bind'#134, `colour'#145,
709 `headerpick'#191), some others (most importantly, `set'#251) can
710 be forced to do so via the new `wysh'#115 command prefix, as in:
712 ? wysh set message-inject-tail=$'\n--steffen'
713 ? bind base $'\cA,\x61' 'echo control-A and small a'
715 - We now actively manage *umask*#555: 0077 by default, but an
716 empty string will use the setting that is active upon startup.
717 Just like changes to (known) environment variables, this setting
718 will also be inherited by any child process.
719 (Walter Alejandro Iglesias)
721 - Anything SENDMAIL / *sendmail*-ish has been renamed to *mta*#436,
722 *mta-arguments*#437, *mta-no-default-arguments*#438 and
725 The reason is that in v15 we won't even have *smtp*: it is just
726 another form of MTA, and thus obsolete by itself.
727 Note that *mta-arguments* is now parsed via the shell-token
728 parser, so the following ends up exactly as desired.
730 ? set mta-arguments='-t -X "/tmp/my log"'
732 For now we support a hack that understands a file:// URL in
733 *mta*, too, but that is also the default if there is no protocol.
734 E.g.: "? set mta=smtp://a:b@xy.z"
736 - The "spamd" *spam-interface*#518 is obsolete. I haven't tested
737 it since my main machine died, it is error prone since it assumes
738 internals of the spamassassin wire protocol, and there never was
739 a speed improvement over "spamc". (However it could react upon
740 the "is-spam" state of a message, which "spamc" doesn't allow.)
742 - The new *inbox*#413 variable will henceforth be looked up when
743 searching for a primary system mailbox (as in "? File %"),
744 followed by the usual $MAIL#575 and compile-time defined local
745 mailspool search. (Stephen Isard, Jürgen Daubert)
747 - The semantic of -a#54 and `~@'#300 have been changed, and both
748 commands now use the same syntax:
750 -a file[=input-charset[#output-charset]]
752 - New "failinvaddr" keyword for *expandaddr*#386.
754 - We finally "can" the so-called (by myself) "Dr. Problem" (a bit):
757 $ </dev/null s-nail -d:/ -sTrödler 'Dr. D. Iet <z@a.k>' 2>&1 |\
759 s-nail: >>> To: "Dr. D. Iet" <z@a.k>
761 This can be done via the new `addrcodec'#127, too, note this
762 supports multiple modes (and the `vput'#114 command modifier):
764 $ echo 'addrcodec e Dr. Diet <to@fu.soj> Curd' | s-nail -#:/
765 "Dr. Diet Curd" <to@fu.soj>
767 - All commands with the string "codec" in their name use different
768 argument quoting, namely none at all, please read
769 "Raw data arguments for codec commands"#25.
770 This means that `urlcodec'#280 (and `imapcodec'#613) has
771 slightly changed semantics.
772 And, while here: there is a new `shcodec'#253, too.
774 - We gained "Command modifiers"#21: `\'#110 (avoid expansion of
775 `commandalias'#147es), `vput'#114 (store result in variable),
776 `ignerr'#111 (ignore an error of the following command, even
777 if the new *errexit*#384 is set), `wysh'#115 (use shell-style
780 $ echo 'vput cwd resvar;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
781 /home/steffen/src/nail.git
783 And the usual sh(1) stuff: `return'#246, `shift'#257, `eval'#174,
784 plus a `xcall'#289 stack-avoidance optimization (to be used in
785 place of a `call'#136 which would be the last called command).
786 And an "expr(1) like thing", yet simple, `vexpr'#285.
788 $ echo 'vexpr + 1 2' | s-nail -#:/
789 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000011
791 $ echo 'vput vexpr resvar + 1 2;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
794 We actually start walking (*?*#328, *^*#330).
796 ? vput vexpr res regex 'bananarama' 'Bana(.+)' '\$1\$0'
797 ? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
799 ? vput vexpr res iregex 'bananarama' '(.+)rama' '\$1\$0'
800 ? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
801 0/NONE :bananabananarama:
803 The command `vpospar'#286 can be used to manage the stack of
804 positional parameters, i.e., much like "set --".
805 It also offers the possibility to save and restore the stack to
806 and from variables. Etc.
808 Btw., to contact the maintainer (make.rc variables
809 VAL_CONTACT_WEB and VAL_CONTACT_MAIL):
811 ? echo $contact-web; eval mail $contact-mail
813 - `if'#197 no longer performs automatic number conversion, we
814 use the explicit -lt, -gt etc. syntax of the sh(1).
815 Note: `if' will change to be almost identical to sh(1) if(1),
816 so please ensure proper test bracketing, even if it is less
819 Moreover, the default string comparison mode has changed to
820 case-sensitive, just like in the shell. This is because in the
821 future this crux with trigger characters will vanish and `if'
822 etc. will simply slurp in already expanded shell tokens, it will
823 act like the shell in that respect. We have modifiers, though,
824 yet only "@i" for case-insensitivity, also for regex matches:
827 i=`LC_ALL=C.utf8 s-nail -:/ -# -X '
829 \if [ "${ttycharset}" @i=% utf ]
834 \wysh set LC_ALL=${1}
836 \eval xcall cset_test "${@}"
840 \call cset_test C.UTF-8 POSIX.utf8 POSIX.UTF-8 \
841 en_EN.utf8 en_EN.UTF-8 en_US.utf8 en_US.UTF-8
843 [ $? -eq 0 ] && UTF8_LOCALE=$i
845 Please note the `eval' in 'eval xcall cset_test "${@}". This is
846 a difference of S-nail/mailx and the sh(1)ell that will remain,
847 as documented in "COMMANDS"#20: whereas the shell implements
848 a language and performs standardized expansions on the line
849 until finally the command is called, S-nail will decide the type
850 of command line parsing dependent on the seen command, and will
851 then perform a single expansion. Therefore "${@}" will expand
852 to multiple arguments if $# is greater 0, but it will expand to
853 the empty string otherwise, which is not furtherly expanded away
854 since it is meaningless like it is in the shell: therefore $#
855 will be 1 (the empty string) not 0.
857 - Using an explicit proto:// prefix should get you the desired
858 thing apart of *newfolders*#442, e.g.:
860 ? File maildir:///tmp/x.mdir
861 ? copy * file:///tmp/x.mbox
863 - New variable *record-files*#480 can be set to extend the meaning
864 of *record*#479. *record-resent*#481 was there already.
866 - New variable *ifs*#409 acts a bit like the sh(1)ell's $IFS for,
867 e.g., the new `read'#230 command.
869 There is a `readctl'#232 command which can be used to manage
870 the active channel used by `read'#230.
872 - The `~' alias for `call'#136 is gone.
874 - `mimetype'#205 only allows specification of a single type per
875 call, on the other hand no need to quote that.
877 - `mimeview'#209 must now be used explicitly to look at any
878 non-text MIME part, for normal display etc. purposes we only
879 support "copiousoutput"#600 MIME handlers.
881 - New *socks-proxy*#517 can be used to proxy all network traffic
882 over a SOCKS5 proxy. (Gaetan Bisson)
887 - The manual has seen another major overhaul, all the variables
888 are now documented in a single, sorted list, and many
889 clarifications should have been added. I hope it has become
891 (Predrag Punosevac, Michael Convey, Hariskar, Rudolf Sykora,
892 Respiranto, Thomas Dickey, Donald Mugnai)
894 - To support RFC 1524 a.k.a. .mailcap files (see below) many
895 "trigger"-characters have been added for *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#456,
896 which may (rarely) affect existing values.
897 The .mailcap support itself is not yet implemented.
899 - *mime-counter-evidence*#433 gained bit 4 (perform proper in-depth
900 content inspection as necessary; set to 0xE for all bits).
903 - Maildir paths are now created recursively as necessary.
906 - -M#67 and -m#68 options have been added to enforce a special
907 send mode that will flag standard input / the given file with
908 the specified / detected MIME 'Content-Type:'. This can be used
909 to directly send, e.g., HTML log output.
910 (Viktor Szépe, Ralph Corderoy)
912 - Disallow symlinks on writable files. Note this requires
913 O_NOFOLLOW support for the operating-system-call open(2), but
914 which has been standardized a long time ago.
917 - `retain'#245, `ignore'#198 etc. now differentiate in between
918 From (the From: header) and From_ (the MBOX ident).
920 In fact we now have a new `headerpick'#191 command which
921 is a multiplexer for all retain and ignore lists used, call it
922 without arguments to see the current setting(s).
923 In v15 only `headerpick' and the standard-imposed wrappers
924 `retain' and `ignore' will remain, all other wrappers will
925 vanish. Regular expressions can now be used if available:
928 headerpick type retain blahblahblah cc date from \
929 mail-followup-to message-id openpgp reply-to subject to \
931 #headerpick type ignore currently covers no fields
932 #headerpick save retain currently covers no fields
933 headerpick save ignore '^Original-.*$' '^X-.*$' '^DKIM.*$'
934 headerpick forward retain cc date from list-id \
935 mail-followup-to openpgp reply-to subject to
936 #headerpick forward ignore currently covers no fields
938 - `top'#272 has been rewritten completely, `Top'#271 is new.
939 It uses a built-in set of retain/ignore headers, but it is
940 possible to register a custom set via `headerpick'#191.
941 Also, *toplines*#551 has been extended a bit and the new
942 *topsqueeze*#552 variable may pimp your `top' experience.
944 ? headerpick top retain add subject
946 [-- Message 1 -- 87 lines, 4791 bytes --]:
947 Subject: Re: I can't dist to myself
950 3.22. bounce_delivered
952 - `features' has been dropped, `version'#284 extended.
954 - The *prompt*#471 handling has changed: we lost the capability to
955 expand \?, \@ and \$, instead new "private" variables *?*#328,
956 *account*#339, *mailbox-resolved*#422 and
957 *mailbox-display*#421 have been introduced, and the prompt
958 is completely shell expanded (thus twice with `wysh' or in v15),
959 as if dollar-single-quote quoted. We do support the reverse-
960 solidus escaped bracket notation for embedding characters which
961 should not be counted when calculating the width of the prompt.
962 The `colour'#145 command has a slot for the prompt colour.
963 We gained *prompt2*#472 as a second level prompt.
967 prompt='?\${?}!\${!}[\${account}#\${mailbox-display}]? '
969 - The filename "-" can be used as a receiver, e.g.,
971 $ echo Hey,\ you | s-nail -:/ -Sexpandaddr -sUB -
973 - The -s#75 command line option, the `~s'#321 command escape
974 as well as the corresponding slots of `~^'#302 will actively
975 strip [\r\n] from their value (Debian #419840).
977 - New `read'#230 and `echoerr'#165 commands, mostly for
978 *on-compose-splice*#449.
979 But also `echon'#166 and `echoerrn'#167, which do not write
982 - New variable *r-option-implicit*#477 may be helpful to those
983 who regulary need the functionality of the -r#73 command
984 line option. (Felipe Gasper, Martin Neitzel)
986 - By using new "pseudo-URLs" one can automatize the use of S/MIME
987 keys / (certificates / intermediate include certificates) with
988 passwords. E.g., to drive bob@exam.ple, set
989 *smime-sign-cert-bob@exam.ple* to the private key / certificate
990 pair as usual, the password lookup will then be performed for
991 bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-key, bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-cert and
992 bob@exam.ple.smime-include-certs.
993 Like this the password can be stored in an encrypted .netrc file
994 when *netrc-lookup*#440 and *netrc-pipe*#441 are set, or it may
995 be stored in an encrypted resource file that has been loaded via
996 `source'#263 as a simple *password*#454 variable.
998 Note that the prompting that happens as a last resort of
999 password lookup will still interfere with a possibly running
1000 $PAGER#581 instance, dependent on the setting of *crt*#373, of
1001 course. Proper job control handling and recognizing that we are
1002 running $PAGER when doing that prompt is a TODO for v15. Sorry.
1004 - Some commands, like `set'#251, `help'#194, `list'#199,
1005 `mlist'#207 etc., now react upon the setting of *verbose*#558
1006 and(/or) *debug*#377.
1008 - `write'#288 uses iconv(3) as appropriate.
1010 - *mbox-rfc4155*#425 has first been dropped, and was then
1011 reintroduced with different semantics. Because, it can be
1012 helpful if a messed up MBOX is read, in which case we henceforth
1013 will warn you and point you to this:
1016 \localopts yes; \wysh set mbox-rfc4155;\
1017 \wysh File "${1}"; \eval copy * "${2}"
1019 ? call mboxfix /tmp/bad.mbox /tmp/good.mbox
1021 P.S. Here you see how weird the current thing still is, in v15:
1024 localopts yes; set mbox-rfc4155; File "${1}"; copy * -- "${2}"
1027 And also in v15 we will not apply (proper) so-called MBOXO
1028 quoting, but instead (simply MIME) re-encode mail messages.
1030 - `call_if'#137 is new and, different to "? ignerr call", silent
1031 and not messing with the return status.
1033 - The new *smime-ca-flags*#503 and *ssl-ca-flags*#530 can be used
1034 to fine-tune X509_STORE_set_flags(3) a.k.a the X509 CA
1035 certificate verification.
1037 ? set ssl-ca-flags=partial-chain
1038 ? wysh set smime-ca-flags="${ssl-ca-flags}"
1040 Also, *ssl-curves*#539 for TLSv1.3.
1042 - Socket connections use TLS S(erver)N(ame)I(ndication) as
1043 appropriate (RFC 7817).
1045 - `alternates'#130 checks arguments and supports `vput'#114.
1046 It by default no longer replaces but appends alternates, unless
1047 *posix*#469 mode is active. There is a new `unalternates'#131
1048 command to remove alternates.
1050 - A new `charsetalias'#140 command. (Pietro Cerutti, mutt#3925)
1052 - New commands `filetype'#178 and `unfiletype'#179: in the future
1053 we will no longer know any builtin filetypes, in fact we already
1054 simulate .gz etc. via the new mechanism as necessary:
1057 bz2 'bzip2 -dc' 'bzip2 -zc' \
1058 gpg 'gpg -d' 'gpg -e' \
1059 gz 'gzip -dc' 'gzip -c' \
1060 xz 'xz -dc' 'xz -zc' \
1061 zst 'zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc' \
1062 zst.pgp 'gpg -d | zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc | gpg -e'
1064 - `~<'#297 now offers a "- [HERE-delimiter]" mode for pasting etc.
1067 - `exit'#175 and `quit'#229 take an optional exit status.
1068 (That is not fixated yet, though.)
1070 - We have a useful -h / --help output. (Doug McIlroy)
