10 ---------------------------------------------------
12 This is an update feature release but which also ships a furious
13 number of bug fixes, about six of which were pretty serious. It
14 also applies overall trimming, and improves configuration time
15 compatibility on macOS.
17 Thanks to Alexander Harm there is now a macOS Homebrew package.

27 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
28 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
30 - Out-of-tree builds have become possible via the new
31 make-emerge.sh script:
33 $ cd /tmp && mkdir build && cd build &&
34 ~/src/nail.git/make-emerge.sh &&
35 make tangerine DESTDIR=.ddir
37 We now have a `citron' make target which is like `tangerine' but
38 does not run the tests.
40 - Configuration with OPT_AUTOCC honours $CC=cc. (Norman Ramsey)
42 - SSL/TLS configuration has been revamped (again) in order to
43 support new possibilities of OpenSSL (and LibreSSL) without
44 ending up and introducing more and more variables.
46 Instead we now have *ssl-config-pairs*#536, a comma-separated
47 list of all options. With e.g. OpenSSL 1.1.xx this will be
48 directly passed through to SSL_CONF_cmd(), so there _anything_
49 can be passed, otherwise we use a builtin parser to map.
50 The new *ssl-features*#540 states what is supported. E.g.:
52 if [ "$ssl-features" =% +ctx-set-maxmin-proto ]
53 wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
54 CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
55 Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
58 wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
59 CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
60 Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
61 Protocol=-ALL\,+TLSv1.1 \, +TLSv1.2'
64 OpenSSL v1.1.xx also introduces an interesting and neat idea to
65 centralize SSL/TLS configuration of (all) programs in a single
66 file. This can be driven via *ssl-config-file*#534 and the new
67 *ssl-config-module*#535 variables, several entries per program
68 are allowed, see *ssl-config-module*#535 for an example.
70 New manual section "Encrypted network communication"#13.
72 - Variables set or unset via -S#74 are now frozen until program
78 - Historical behaviour of *askcc*#345 / *askbcc*#346 has been
79 reintroduced. (Norman Ramsey)
81 A new *asksend*#347 variable will show a final header summary
82 and allows reentering compose mode. Set by default.
84 POSIX mirrors *ask* onto *asksub*#349, so dropped" the former.
86 - `~^'#302 no longer normalizes header names to titlecase.
88 - We no longer generate charset=binary MIME parameters.
89 This was introduced on 2013-01-02 and was i think owed to
90 file(1)s -i output as i failed to find any other reference.
93 - *mime-alternative-favour-rich*#432 now also works for handlers
94 installed via *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#456. (Viktor Szépe)
96 - v14.9.* series did not generate In-Reply-To: headers!
98 - `alias'#128 now supports high-bit bytes and semicolon.
99 Expect that at some later time the input must be valid according
100 to the locale, though. (Norman Ramsey)
102 - Combinations of *record*#479 could crash because of an
103 unterminated variable function argument list. (Norman Ramsey)
105 - New command `readall'#231 loads an entire file into a variable.
107 *signature*#499 has been obsoleted.
109 - `vexpr'#285 now supports negative arguments for the substring
110 subcommand and adds trim, trim-front and trim-end subcommands.
112 - `!'#118 can be used in send mode.
114 - `~A'#303, `~a'#304, `~I'#313 and `~i'#314 will henceforth expand
115 \t and \n only if *posix*#469 is set.
116 Please use `set'#251 instead (with `wysh'#115, until v15).
118 - New "The mime.types files"#35 type marker: @q ("quiet").

174 ------------------------------------------------------------
176 This is a bugfix release but which ships some improvements, too.
177 It silently replaces both of v14.9.1 v14.9.2 from earlier this
178 week, which were broken or not entirely fixed.
180 Credits, in order of commit appearance: Felix Fontein, Paul Vojta,
181 Ralph Corderoy, Christos Zoulas, Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson.
182 Thanks, Coverity.com.
184 We welcome Christos Zoulas in THANKS.
186 Apologies to Viktor Szépe for the false spelling of his name in
187 the v14.9.0 announcement.
188 And to Gaetan Bisson for not giving credit for [14fbce97]!
190 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
191 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
193 - fakeroot support was blindly taken from Debian and broken.
194 (Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson)
196 - Base64 output was broken for cases which involved iconv(3).
197 The data is not lost, you can read it with S-nail v14.9.0 and
198 above, and save it somewhere. I know of no other base64 decoder
199 which reads those things correctly, though. We now have tests.
200 Along this i fixed an iconv(3) error which likely caused
201 stateful decoding (like, e.g., for ISO-2022-JP) to fail because
202 of an unnecessary reset of the iconv(3) state machine.
203 Thanks to Gaetan Bisson for mentioning this issue!
208 - In compose mode the MLE allows empty lines again.
210 - We no longer require a writable $HOME#568. Due to false code
211 flow (but but but: with correct comment) a non-writable $HOME
212 entry in /etc/password (i.e., from getpwuid(3)) would lead to
213 a crash. (Felix Fontain; Ralph Corderoy)
215 - Two faulty string operations slipped into the IMAP code,
216 resulting in a crash and a "is-same-host" test that would fail
217 for IMAPS connections like `save'#248 or `copy'#150 because of an
218 implicit IMAP protocol for the target of those operations (thus
219 IMAP != IMAPS). (Paul Vojta)
221 - The MLE tab-expansion will now automatically append a "/" if
222 there is only one possible expansion and that is a directory,
223 saving the user one <TAB>. (Christos Zoulas)
225 The shell expression parser had a bug regarding understood
226 metacharacters (;|&), which in turn could cause an infinite loop
227 in the MLE tab-expansion for, e.g., "move &9 +<TAB>", because
228 the "&" would never have been stepped over.
230 - New `~I'#313 command escape is like `~i'#314 but does not append
233 - `localopts'#200 gained an optional second argument.
234 It is now possible to specify that any macro `call'#136ed
235 will have localopts enabled, and it is possible to fixate the
236 setting so that it cannot be reverted.
238 - *@*#335 should now act completely compatible to the sh(1)ell,
239 thus obsoleting my hysteric warnings in the v14.9.0 announcement.
241 - The `Lreply'#201, `reply'#236, `Reply'#235 series as well as
242 `mail'#203 now manage the error status *!*#329.
243 I.e., there are now errors like *^ERR*#331-DESTADDRREQ,
244 ^ERR-NODATA, ^ERR-PERM and similar. It is not perfect yet,
245 because $DEAD#566 may have been written (with *save*#487) or not,
248 `Lreply' and `reply' have been rewritten rather completely
249 indeed. They join Reply-To: and Mail-Followup-To: dependent on
250 the context (i.e., *reply-to-honour*#485, *followup-to-honour*#394,
251 see "Mailing lists"#10 for the picture), and if they did, use
252 this list as the receivers exclusively. It now honours
253 *recipients-in-cc*#478 even for such addressees. (And now i wonder
254 whether i should have credited Paul Vojta for that.)
256 Also `Lreply' would have crashed for mails with Reply-To: but
257 without *reply-to-honour*#485 set. We now have a test.
259 Note *replyto* is obsoleted in favour of *reply-to*#484.

277 v14.9.0 ("Long-tailed tit"), 2017-07-16
278 ---------------------------------------
280 This is a major feature release which took about ~22 months (24
281 less two) of development to complete, and which imposed massive
282 changes under the hood, but also quite a lot of user visible
283 changes, including some **backward incompatibilities**.
284 As usual, "s-nail -d" will show obsoletion warnings.
286 We gain noticeable improvements regarding scriptability and its
287 reliability, but also for interactive use cases, especially
288 notable to users is our completely new M(ailx)L(ine)E(ditor) that
289 supports rather real tabulator expansion and program-mode-context-
290 sensitive key bindings.
292 We now support macros with arguments, which can be `shift'ed,
293 a `return' status can be used, and a `vexpr' multiplexer offers
294 some arithmetic and string operations. `commandalias'es are
295 recursive, further command modifier prefixes, like `ignerr', give
296 a hand that we otherwise could not offer. In compose-mode the new
297 `~^' command escape allows some message and attachment access, and
298 can be used, e.g., to implement things like custom headers, and
299 has been especially designed for scripted access via the new
300 *on-compose-splice* and *on-compose-splice-shell* hooks.
302 S-nail will move (more or less) backward-incompatibly to sh(1)ell
303 compatible argument quoting (documented in "COMMANDS"), and an
304 increasing number of commands do support this already: new ones
305 exclusively, some old ones have either been switched (like
306 `localopts'), others -- noticeably `set' -- can be switched to the
307 new syntax with a `wysh' command modifier prefix. E.g.:
310 # Be careful to choose sh(1)ell-style on _entire_ line!
311 localopts yes; wysh set verbose; ignerr eval "${@}"; return $?
313 ? commandalias call echo boo-boo
314 ? commandalias xv call __xv
316 ? commandalias xv '\'call __xv
319 Calling the latter `xv' for `list' will give more detailed command
320 information, including which kind of argument is used.
322 I have not managed to implement the three features i have started
323 this development cycle for, these are thus subject to further
324 development, just like wysh for message-list argument commands to
325 support, e.g., negation, wysh for `if' and consorts, the --
326 terminator to finally overcome the ridiculous requirement to quote
327 entire shell commands filenames for commands like `pipe.

357 NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
358 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
360 * This release brings some backward incompatibilities, outlined
361 in the following. Most users will not be affected, and we have
362 added a lot of compatibility cruft, but that will vanish in v15.
365 * The configuration and build system has changed.
366 Packagers have received updated package files.
368 o Anything which was WANT_xy before is now OPT_xy, and
369 compiled-in paths and values, like PREFIX or PAGER, have
370 gained a VAL_ prefix (thus VAL_PREFIX and VAL_PAGER).
372 This is _not_ true for non-persistent or environmental values,
373 e.g., DESTDIR, CC, etc., and also not for the overwritable
374 program variables during configuration, e.g., $awk.
376 o SENDMAIL -> VAL_MTA, SENDMAIL_PROGNAME -> VAL_MTA_ARGV0,
377 MAILSPOOL -> VAL_MAIL.
378 And NAIL -> VAL_MAILX, though this is still a lie.
380 o The make system now needs config..build..install or
381 all..install or tangerine (config..build..test..install).
382 Some constants which some experts may want to fine-tune have
383 been moved to config.h. Usual adjustments+doc via make.rc.
385 o The `build' phase can be parallelized by setting the $MAKEJOBS
386 environment variable, e.g., "make MAKEJOBS=-j4 build".
387 Note this variable is not tracked in the configuration.
390 o Unless DESTDIR is set an uninstallation script will be
391 installed along with the rest (see INSTALL file for more).
393 o Set the new OPT_CROSS_BUILD to avoid feature runtime tests,
394 only compile- and link-availability will be tested. (Juan RP)
396 o VERBOSE is implemented straight, but must be given at
397 configuration time in order to become honoured.
400 o ADDCFLAGS / ADDLDFLAGS -> EXTRA_CFLAGS / EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
402 o The LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. building processes will skip any path
403 which contains the string "fakeroot". (Hilko Bengen)
405 o We honour a set $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH#585 environment variable to
406 an extend that allows reproducible tests, which is why the
407 repository gained a [test-out] branch with some expected plain
408 text outputs. (reproducible-builds.org; Colin Watson)
410 The new *log-prefix*#420 variable aids in improving the
411 reproducibility of error messages.
413 o These are upward compatible changes.
415 * "make OPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000 all" should work.
417 * Internal and environment variables are now explicitly _defined_
418 and _tracked_ after variable handling has been rewritten
421 o This means that, e.g., "$ password=NOT_SECRET s-nail" will
422 **NOT** work no more, since *password*#454 is an internal
425 o But if you do, e.g., "? set TMPDIR=~/tmp", then this will
426 also be reflected in the program environment (it is an
427 environment variable) and thus affect child processes.
429 o Therefore we no longer have `setenv' and `unsetenv'.
431 o To integrate any other environment variable transparently
432 into our variable management, the new command `environ'#172
433 needs to be used, e.g., "? environ set NEWVAR=value" or
434 "? environ link EXISTINGVAR".
436 - -H#63 and -L#66 have been decoupled:
437 it used to be -e#60 -L#66 instead!
439 - *NAIL_{HEAD,TAIL}* have been obsoleted in favour of
440 *message-inject-head*#428 and *message-inject-tail*#429.
442 *NAIL_HIST{FILE,SIZE}* have been obsoleted in favour of
443 *history-file*#402 and *history-size*#405.
445 *NAIL_EXTRA_RC* has been obsoleted in favour of
446 *mailx-extra-rc*#423.
448 *batch-exit-on-error* has been obsoleted by *errexit*#384, which
449 works just like the POSIX sh(1)ell "set -e" construct; the
450 `ignerr'#111 command modifier (`-' for command escapes in compose
451 mode, and see below) can be used to ignore command errors even
452 then. (This will remain even if we at some later time will
453 support at least some of the sh(1) constructs which "swallow"
454 failures with set -e.)
456 *bsdannounce* is obsolete, the feature is integrated in
457 *header*#399 as this is much more useful. (This is however also
458 dependent upon the also new but well-known $POSIXLY_CORRECT#583
459 <> *posix*#469, but that is just how it is; these affect more
460 behaviour, and increasing.)
462 - Colour support has been changed backward in- and upward (from
463 user interface side) compatibly, see the manual section
464 "Coloured display"#18.
466 + New commands: `colour'#145 and `uncolour'#146.
467 You can define context-sensitive, terminal-capability-
468 sensitive settings, e.g.:
470 if terminal && [ "$features" =% +colour ]
471 colour iso view-header ft=bold,fg=magenta,bg=cyan
472 colour 256 view-header ft=bold,fg=208,bg=230 subject,from
473 colour mono view-header ft=bold
474 colour mono view-header ft=bold,ft=reverse subject,from
477 + The variable *colour-pager*#370 defines whether colour and font
478 attribute sequences should be generated when viewing something
481 + Set the variable *colour-disable*#369 to turn colour off
482 without affecting established settings.
484 + It is deduced via termcap(5) (see below) whether the terminal
485 supports colors, e.g., "$ s-nail -Stermcap=Co#256".
486 This is also true if we don't have termcap support.
488 + Support for 256-colour terminals. (Gavin Troy)
490 - `source'#263 series support shell pipes if the last character
491 of the "filename" ends with a vertical bar |, e.g.,
493 ? source 'gpg -qd ~/.s-nailrc-private.gpg |'
495 - Shell pipes are also supported as targets for `move'#213,
496 `copy'#150 etc., yet unfortunately not with via a sh(1)ell token
497 parser, so that the target still has to be a single argument.
499 ? copy . '| cat; echo huhu'
501 - Support for custom headers via the new `~^'#302 compose-mode
502 command escape and in addition, or alternatively, with the
503 internal variable *customhdr*#374, which also can be covered by
504 `localopts'#200. (Sergey Matveev)
506 + Support of $ORGANIZATION has been dropped.
508 + Command escape `~e'#308 supports _any_ header.
510 + Command escape `~^'#302 supports _any_ header.
512 - New -:#52 command line option can be used to more easily select
513 which startup files should be loaded, e.g., -:/ loads none.
516 - `account'#125s and *folder-hook*#391s now have `localopts'#200
519 - A first simple form of compose-mode hooks has been implemented:
520 *on-compose-enter*#447, *on-compose-leave*#448 and
521 *on-compose-cleanup*#446 can be set to macros which get invoked
522 at appropriate times.
523 For the `resend'#240 series there is *on-resend-enter*#452 and
524 *on-resend-cleanup*#451: this is very likely to change once
525 true message access is possible even in this mode.
527 An even more powerful mechanism is available via the also new
528 *on-compose-splice*#449 and *on-compose-splice-shell*#450 hooks.
529 These are executed in child processes and communicate with the
530 parent via their standard input and output, and therefore can
531 do anything and act as if they were the user.
533 `localopts'#200 are enabled and cannot be disabled (and extend
534 until the message is sent).
535 (Jens Schleusener, Rudolf Sykora)
537 ? set on-compose-splice=ocs
540 echo Splice protocol version is $ver
542 read hl; vput vexpr es substring "${hl}" 0 1
544 echoerr 'Failed to read header list, bailing out'
546 elif [ "$hl" @i!% ' cc' ]
547 echo '~^header insert cc Diet is your <mirr.or>'
548 read es; vput vexpr es substr "${es}" 0 1
550 echoerr 'Failed to insert Cc:, bailing out'; echo '~x'
555 - "The .netrc file"#37
557 + gained support for comments.
558 (Walter Alejandro Iglesias, Ralph Corderoy)
560 + `netrc'#216 now has a "load" subcommand.
562 + the new *netrc-pipe*#441 obsoletes OPT_AGENT and
563 *agent-shell-lookup*, and can be used to load an encrypted
566 ? set netrc-lookup netrc-pipe='gpg -qd ~/.netrc.gpg'
568 I.e., this is in usual .netrc syntax and thus possibly much
569 nicer than saying "? source 'gpg -qd ~/.credentials.gpg |'".
571 - termcap(5) / terminfo(5) support has been changed backward in-
572 and upward (from user interface side) compatibly, please read
573 "On terminal control and line editor"#17.
575 + OPT_TERMCAP is by default enabled.
576 The new, by default enabled, configuration option
577 OPT_TERMCAP_VIA_TERMINFO can be used to (try to) use
580 + The variable *termcap*#548 can be used to freely define or
581 override terminal capabilities, and *termcap-disable*#550 will
582 disable interaction with the chosen library, leaving only
585 To use the so-called ca-mode on supporting terminals,
586 effectively turning S-nail into a fullscreen application,
587 *termcap-ca-mode*#549 must be set.
589 + The built-in line editor has been rather completely rewritten
590 to be the Mailx-Line-Editor (OPT_MLE, default yes), and
591 supports wide glyphs (if possible), infinite line lengths
592 (2 GB) and more. Tabulator expansion is no longer an option
593 (but needs fnmatch(3)).
595 + Optionally (OPT_KEY_BINDINGS, default yes) it has become
596 possible to freely define key bindings for the MLE via the new
597 `bind'#134 and `unbind'#135 commands. These key bindings can
598 make use of termcap(5) and/or terminfo(5) names. The MLE will
599 install a set of default bindings (unless there is a set
600 *line-editor-no-defaults*#419), more so with OPT_TERMCAP,
603 Sufficient support provided, one can now, e.g., type "p " and
604 then collect the message numbers to type, scrolling forward
605 and backward via key-bindings, without loosing the line
606 content, then commit the final line.
608 + OPT_EDITLINE and OPT_READLINE support have been dropped.
609 The new MLE should not miss anything. Does it?
610 Tip: in an UTF-8 locale try "? !touch /tmp/hall{,öchen}" and
611 then autocomplete that: once, then ^Q, and again.
613 - `source'#263 can be used in `call'#136ed macros.
614 What sounds so innocent replaced an entire machinery and got rid
615 of a brilliant idea of Kurt Shoens from the 70s, but which never
616 worked with Nail/Heirloom extensions, namely macros, and in the
618 Accompanying this -X#80 can (dig multiline arguments and can) be
619 used to define macros and run them etc. Should work:
621 $ s-nail -X'define x {' -Xversion -Xx -X'}' -X'call x'
622 $ s-nail -X'source \' -X'"echo version|"' -Xx
624 Macros can be `undefine'#155d from within themselves, and re-
625 `define'#154d. It is still not possible to define macros
626 from within macros, and/or have inner macros, not to talk
627 about local scoping or anything more sophisticated such.
629 - -u#77 / $LOGNAME#574 ($USER) handling has been redefined,
630 and "-u USER" is now exactly the same as "-f %USER", and
631 $LOGNAME (and $USER) is actively set to the active user. (Afan)
633 $LOGNAME#574 is POSIX standardized and henceforth used and
634 preferred over $USER, which came from BSD. (Todd C. Miller)
636 - In the future (at least non-message-list) argument handling will
637 be changed backward-incompatibly to be sh(1)ell compatible (and
638 thus POSIX standardized), see "Shell-style argument quoting"#24.
639 New commands use it already today (`bind'#134, `colour'#145,
640 `headerpick'#191), some others (most importantly, `set'#251) can
641 be forced to do so via the new `wysh'#115 command prefix, as in:
643 ? wysh set message-inject-tail=$'\n--steffen'
644 ? bind base $'\cA,\x61' 'echo control-A and small a'
646 - We now actively manage *umask*#555: 0077 by default, but an
647 empty string will use the setting that is active upon startup.
648 Just like changes to (known) environment variables, this setting
649 will also be inherited by any child process.
650 (Walter Alejandro Iglesias)
652 - Anything SENDMAIL / *sendmail*-ish has been renamed to *mta*#436,
653 *mta-arguments*#437, *mta-no-default-arguments*#438 and
656 The reason is that in v15 we won't even have *smtp*: it is just
657 another form of MTA, and thus obsolete by itself.
658 Note that *mta-arguments* is now parsed via the shell-token
659 parser, so the following ends up exactly as desired.
661 ? set mta-arguments='-t -X "/tmp/my log"'
663 For now we support a hack that understands a file:// URL in
664 *mta*, too, but that is also the default if there is no protocol.
665 E.g.: "? set mta=smtp://a:b@xy.z"
667 - The "spamd" *spam-interface*#518 is obsolete. I haven't tested
668 it since my main machine died, it is error prone since it assumes
669 internals of the spamassassin wire protocol, and there never was
670 a speed improvement over "spamc". (However it could react upon
671 the "is-spam" state of a message, which "spamc" doesn't allow.)
673 - The new *inbox*#413 variable will henceforth be looked up when
674 searching for a primary system mailbox (as in "? File %"),
675 followed by the usual $MAIL#575 and compile-time defined local
676 mailspool search. (Stephen Isard, Jürgen Daubert)
678 - The semantic of -a#54 and `~@'#300 have been changed, and both
679 commands now use the same syntax:
681 -a file[=input-charset[#output-charset]]
683 - New "failinvaddr" keyword for *expandaddr*#386.
685 - We finally "can" the so-called (by myself) "Dr. Problem" (a bit):
688 $ </dev/null s-nail -d:/ -sTrödler 'Dr. D. Iet <z@a.k>' 2>&1 |\
690 s-nail: >>> To: "Dr. D. Iet" <z@a.k>
692 This can be done via the new `addrcodec'#127, too, note this
693 supports multiple modes (and the `vput'#114 command modifier):
695 $ echo 'addrcodec e Dr. Diet <to@fu.soj> Curd' | s-nail -#:/
696 "Dr. Diet Curd" <to@fu.soj>
698 - All commands with the string "codec" in their name use different
699 argument quoting, namely none at all, please read
700 "Raw data arguments for codec commands"#25.
701 This means that `urlcodec'#280 (and `imapcodec'#613) has
702 slightly changed semantics.
703 And, while here: there is a new `shcodec'#253, too.
705 - We gained "Command modifiers"#21: `\'#110 (avoid expansion of
706 `commandalias'#147es), `vput'#114 (store result in variable),
707 `ignerr'#111 (ignore an error of the following command, even
708 if the new *errexit*#384 is set), `wysh'#115 (use shell-style
711 $ echo 'vput cwd resvar;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
712 /home/steffen/src/nail.git
714 And the usual sh(1) stuff: `return'#246, `shift'#257, `eval'#174,
715 plus a `xcall'#289 stack-avoidance optimization (to be used in
716 place of a `call'#136 which would be the last called command).
717 And an "expr(1) like thing", yet simple, `vexpr'#285.
719 $ echo 'vexpr + 1 2' | s-nail -#:/
720 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000011
722 $ echo 'vput vexpr resvar + 1 2;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
725 We actually start walking (*?*#328, *^*#330).
727 ? vput vexpr res regex 'bananarama' 'Bana(.+)' '\$1\$0'
728 ? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
730 ? vput vexpr res iregex 'bananarama' '(.+)rama' '\$1\$0'
731 ? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
732 0/NONE :bananabananarama:
734 The command `vpospar'#286 can be used to manage the stack of
735 positional parameters, i.e., much like "set --".
736 It also offers the possibility to save and restore the stack to
737 and from variables. Etc.
739 Btw., to contact the maintainer (make.rc variables
740 VAL_CONTACT_WEB and VAL_CONTACT_MAIL):
742 ? echo $contact-web; eval mail $contact-mail
744 - `if'#197 no longer performs automatic number conversion, we
745 use the explicit -lt, -gt etc. syntax of the sh(1).
746 Note: `if' will change to be almost identical to sh(1) if(1),
747 so please ensure proper test bracketing, even if it is less
750 Moreover, the default string comparison mode has changed to
751 case-sensitive, just like in the shell. This is because in the
752 future this crux with trigger characters will vanish and `if'
753 etc. will simply slurp in already expanded shell tokens, it will
754 act like the shell in that respect. We have modifiers, though,
755 yet only "@i" for case-insensitivity, also for regex matches:
758 i=`LC_ALL=C.utf8 s-nail -:/ -# -X '
760 \if [ "${ttycharset}" @i=% utf ]
765 \wysh set LC_ALL=${1}
767 \eval xcall cset_test "${@}"
771 \call cset_test C.UTF-8 POSIX.utf8 POSIX.UTF-8 \
772 en_EN.utf8 en_EN.UTF-8 en_US.utf8 en_US.UTF-8
774 [ $? -eq 0 ] && UTF8_LOCALE=$i
776 Please note the `eval' in 'eval xcall cset_test "${@}". This is
777 a difference of S-nail/mailx and the sh(1)ell that will remain,
778 as documented in "COMMANDS"#20: whereas the shell implements
779 a language and performs standardized expansions on the line
780 until finally the command is called, S-nail will decide the type
781 of command line parsing dependent on the seen command, and will
782 then perform a single expansion. Therefore "${@}" will expand
783 to multiple arguments if $# is greater 0, but it will expand to
784 the empty string otherwise, which is not furtherly expanded away
785 since it is meaningless like it is in the shell: therefore $#
786 will be 1 (the empty string) not 0.
788 - Using an explicit proto:// prefix should get you the desired
789 thing apart of *newfolders*#442, e.g.:
791 ? File maildir:///tmp/x.mdir
792 ? copy * file:///tmp/x.mbox
794 - New variable *record-files*#480 can be set to extend the meaning
795 of *record*#479. *record-resent*#481 was there already.
797 - New variable *ifs*#409 acts a bit like the sh(1)ell's $IFS for,
798 e.g., the new `read'#230 command.
800 There is a `readctl'#232 command which can be used to manage
801 the active channel used by `read'#230.
803 - The `~' alias for `call'#136 is gone.
805 - `mimetype'#205 only allows specification of a single type per
806 call, on the other hand no need to quote that.
808 - `mimeview'#209 must now be used explicitly to look at any
809 non-text MIME part, for normal display etc. purposes we only
810 support "copiousoutput"#600 MIME handlers.
812 - New *socks-proxy*#517 can be used to proxy all network traffic
813 over a SOCKS5 proxy. (Gaetan Bisson)
818 - The manual has seen another major overhaul, all the variables
819 are now documented in a single, sorted list, and many
820 clarifications should have been added. I hope it has become
822 (Predrag Punosevac, Michael Convey, Hariskar, Rudolf Sykora,
823 Respiranto, Thomas Dickey, Donald Mugnai)
825 - To support RFC 1524 a.k.a. .mailcap files (see below) many
826 "trigger"-characters have been added for *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#456,
827 which may (rarely) affect existing values.
828 The .mailcap support itself is not yet implemented.
830 - *mime-counter-evidence*#433 gained bit 4 (perform proper in-depth
831 content inspection as necessary; set to 0xE for all bits).
834 - Maildir paths are now created recursively as necessary.
837 - -M#67 and -m#68 options have been added to enforce a special
838 send mode that will flag standard input / the given file with
839 the specified / detected MIME 'Content-Type:'. This can be used
840 to directly send, e.g., HTML log output.
841 (Viktor Szépe, Ralph Corderoy)
843 - Disallow symlinks on writable files. Note this requires
844 O_NOFOLLOW support for the operating-system-call open(2), but
845 which has been standardized a long time ago.
848 - `retain'#245, `ignore'#198 etc. now differentiate in between
849 From (the From: header) and From_ (the MBOX ident).
851 In fact we now have a new `headerpick'#191 command which
852 is a multiplexer for all retain and ignore lists used, call it
853 without arguments to see the current setting(s).
854 In v15 only `headerpick' and the standard-imposed wrappers
855 `retain' and `ignore' will remain, all other wrappers will
856 vanish. Regular expressions can now be used if available:
859 headerpick type retain blahblahblah cc date from \
860 mail-followup-to message-id openpgp reply-to subject to \
862 #headerpick type ignore currently covers no fields
863 #headerpick save retain currently covers no fields
864 headerpick save ignore '^Original-.*$' '^X-.*$' '^DKIM.*$'
865 headerpick forward retain cc date from list-id \
866 mail-followup-to openpgp reply-to subject to
867 #headerpick forward ignore currently covers no fields
869 - `top'#272 has been rewritten completely, `Top'#271 is new.
870 It uses a built-in set of retain/ignore headers, but it is
871 possible to register a custom set via `headerpick'#191.
872 Also, *toplines*#551 has been extended a bit and the new
873 *topsqueeze*#552 variable may pimp your `top' experience.
875 ? headerpick top retain add subject
877 [-- Message 1 -- 87 lines, 4791 bytes --]:
878 Subject: Re: I can't dist to myself
881 3.22. bounce_delivered
883 - `features' has been dropped, `version'#284 extended.
885 - The *prompt*#471 handling has changed: we lost the capability to
886 expand \?, \@ and \$, instead new "private" variables *?*#328,
887 *account*#339, *mailbox-resolved*#422 and
888 *mailbox-display*#421 have been introduced, and the prompt
889 is completely shell expanded (thus twice with `wysh' or in v15),
890 as if dollar-single-quote quoted. We do support the reverse-
891 solidus escaped bracket notation for embedding characters which
892 should not be counted when calculating the width of the prompt.
893 The `colour'#145 command has a slot for the prompt colour.
894 We gained *prompt2*#472 as a second level prompt.
898 prompt='?\${?}!\${!}[\${account}#\${mailbox-display}]? '
900 - The filename "-" can be used as a receiver, e.g.,
902 $ echo Hey,\ you | s-nail -:/ -Sexpandaddr -sUB -
904 - The -s#75 command line option, the `~s'#321 command escape
905 as well as the corresponding slots of `~^'#302 will actively
906 strip [\r\n] from their value (Debian #419840).
908 - New `read'#230 and `echoerr'#165 commands, mostly for
909 *on-compose-splice*#449.
910 But also `echon'#166 and `echoerrn'#167, which do not write
913 - New variable *r-option-implicit*#477 may be helpful to those
914 who regulary need the functionality of the -r#73 command
915 line option. (Felipe Gasper, Martin Neitzel)
917 - By using new "pseudo-URLs" one can automatize the use of S/MIME
918 keys / (certificates / intermediate include certificates) with
919 passwords. E.g., to drive bob@exam.ple, set
920 *smime-sign-cert-bob@exam.ple* to the private key / certificate
921 pair as usual, the password lookup will then be performed for
922 bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-key, bob@exam.ple.smime-cert-cert and
923 bob@exam.ple.smime-include-certs.
924 Like this the password can be stored in an encrypted .netrc file
925 when *netrc-lookup*#440 and *netrc-pipe*#441 are set, or it may
926 be stored in an encrypted resource file that has been loaded via
927 `source'#263 as a simple *password*#454 variable.
929 Note that the prompting that happens as a last resort of
930 password lookup will still interfere with a possibly running
931 $PAGER#581 instance, dependent on the setting of *crt*#373, of
932 course. Proper job control handling and recognizing that we are
933 running $PAGER when doing that prompt is a TODO for v15. Sorry.
935 - Some commands, like `set'#251, `help'#194, `list'#199,
936 `mlist'#207 etc., now react upon the setting of *verbose*#558
937 and(/or) *debug*#377.
939 - `write'#288 uses iconv(3) as appropriate.
941 - *mbox-rfc4155*#425 has first been dropped, and was then
942 reintroduced with different semantics. Because, it can be
943 helpful if a messed up MBOX is read, in which case we henceforth
944 will warn you and point you to this:
947 \localopts yes; \wysh set mbox-rfc4155;\
948 \wysh File "${1}"; \eval copy * "${2}"
950 ? call mboxfix /tmp/bad.mbox /tmp/good.mbox
952 P.S. Here you see how weird the current thing still is, in v15:
955 localopts yes; set mbox-rfc4155; File "${1}"; copy * -- "${2}"
958 And also in v15 we will not apply (proper) so-called MBOXO
959 quoting, but instead (simply MIME) re-encode mail messages.
961 - `call_if'#137 is new and, different to "? ignerr call", silent
962 and not messing with the return status.
964 - The new *smime-ca-flags*#503 and *ssl-ca-flags*#530 can be used
965 to fine-tune X509_STORE_set_flags(3) a.k.a the X509 CA
966 certificate verification.
968 ? set ssl-ca-flags=partial-chain
969 ? wysh set smime-ca-flags="${ssl-ca-flags}"
971 Also, *ssl-curves*#539 for TLSv1.3.
973 - Socket connections use TLS S(erver)N(ame)I(ndication) as
974 appropriate (RFC 7817).
976 - `alternates'#130 checks arguments and supports `vput'#114.
977 It by default no longer replaces but appends alternates, unless
978 *posix*#469 mode is active. There is a new `unalternates'#131
979 command to remove alternates.
981 - A new `charsetalias'#140 command. (Pietro Cerutti, mutt#3925)
983 - New commands `filetype'#178 and `unfiletype'#179: in the future
984 we will no longer know any builtin filetypes, in fact we already
985 simulate .gz etc. via the new mechanism as necessary:
988 bz2 'bzip2 -dc' 'bzip2 -zc' \
989 gpg 'gpg -d' 'gpg -e' \
990 gz 'gzip -dc' 'gzip -c' \
991 xz 'xz -dc' 'xz -zc' \
992 zst 'zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc' \
993 zst.pgp 'gpg -d | zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc | gpg -e'
995 - `~<'#297 now offers a "- [HERE-delimiter]" mode for pasting etc.
998 - `exit'#175 and `quit'#229 take an optional exit status.
999 (That is not fixated yet, though.)
1001 - We have a useful -h / --help output. (Doug McIlroy)
1003 - *encoding* obsoleted in favour of new *mime-encoding*#434, which
1004 now defaults to base64.
1006 - *allnet*#341 now works (broken since nail 10.00, 2002-09-29).
