23: - New configuration directive "annotated" which allows a mailing
24: list archive editor to annotate a given message before converting
25: it into HTML. Associated additional new directives are
26: "html_message_deleted_spam", "html_message_deleted_other",
27: ""html_message_edited". Consult docs/hmrc.html for more info.
28: - "html_message_deleted" is deprecated in favor of "html_message_deleted_spam"

33: ============================
34: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.3.0:
35: ============================
36: Jose Kahan (Oct 27, 2009)
37: - Added two new accesskeys in messages: 't' -> next message
38: in thread, 'd' -> next message
39:
40: Jose Kahan (Oct 26, 2009)

43: Jose Kahan (Oct 23, 2009)
44: Various fixes / enhancements developed at W3C by Fumihiro Kato,
45: Daigo Matsubara and myself:
46: - Markup changes for deleted messages that are kept.
47: - New directive: htmlmessage_deleted for setting a custom HTML
48: message for the body of deleted messages.
49: - New directive: delete_incremental to disable deleting of existing
50: messages in the archive when doing an incremental add of a new
51: message. In some setups, if this feature is enabled, replies to
52: deleted messages will cause uncontrolled markup escape and
53: expansion. Feature is enabled by default.
54: - Updated list of known protocol uris that hypermail will convert
55: into links.
56: - Bug fix: setup.c:MakeConfig() CFG_SWITCH was using long instead of
57: int.
58: - New directive: fragment_prefix for customizing the prefix that is
59: put before each URI fragment in a message. Default value is "msg",
60: the previous hard-coded value.
61: - New directive: email_address_obfuscation foro enablingemail
62: address obfuscation using numeric character reference.
63: - New directive: inline_addlink to add in-line links to content that
64: is stored in the attachments subdirectory. 'inline_types" must
65: also be enabled.
66: - New directive: inreplyto_command, gives a URI template to a script
67: that hypermail will link to if it's unable to find a corresponding
68: Message-Id in the archive's messages.
69:
70: Peter McCluskey (May 13, 2008)

72: problem when Content-Type is us-ascii but message headers
73: include other encoded text like utf-8.

79: Changes from Fumihiro Kato to fix bugs on 64 bit systems and some
80: possible buffer overflow problems.

82: when found in the middle of the line the same way it has been doing when
83: they are at the start of a line.
84:
85: Peter McCluskey (Feb 16, 2007)
86: Changes from Rick van der Zwet:
87: cosmetic = tweaking the interface a small bit (right align, the message
88: numbers, years in the date listing
89: spamify-domain = obfuscate the body of the message as well (will also
90: obfuscate 'ssh rick@foo.bar' this of course), moved the domain obfuscate

98: Fixed a core dump with linkquotes = 1 caused by Daigo's changes.
99:
100: Peter McCluskey (Sep 30, 2005)
101: Fixed missing links at top when show_index_links is 1 or 3.
102:
103: Peter McCluskey (Aug 4, 2005)
104: Fixed double counting of messages deleted with the delete_msgnum option,
105: which sometimes caused top level index page to show wrong number of
106: messages and not link to a folder.
107:
108: Peter McCluskey (Jul 29, 2005)
109: Changed to sort on sender date rather than from date when displaying
110: sender date as a result of use_sender_date = 1.
111:
112: Peter McCluskey (Jun 23, 2005)
113: Some small changes from Vincent McIntyre to make date-range in index of
114: folders link to default index page, to use CSS instead of <th> to
115: distinguish that column, and some whitespace changes.
116: Added explanation of how to handle strcasestr prototype error to INSTALL.
117:
118: Peter McCluskey (Mar 19, 2005)
119: Fixes to files_by_thread option submitted by Oliver Meili.
120:
121: Peter McCluskey (Dec 2, 2004)
122: Patch from Ulf Härnhammar to fix two format string bugs in Hypermail.

140: Changed some of the addresses to hypermail-project.org.
141: Made the "We delete ... " message print only if progress != 0.
142:
143: Peter McCluskey (Mar 23, 2004)
144: Changes to speed up incremental update when there are deleted files if
145: using usegdbm (it's still slow if usegdbm = 0).
146:
147: ============================
148: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.1.9:
149: ============================
150: Peter McCluskey (Feb 23, 2004)
151: Released version 2.1.9 tar file.
152:
153: Peter McCluskey (Feb 17, 2004)
154: Add use_sender_date option.
155: Fix instructions for doing "make install" so that the documentation will
156: be installed.
157:
158: Peter McCluskey (Feb 5, 2004)
159: Update much of the documentation.

170: toplevel index pages.
171:
172: Peter McCluskey (Jan 9, 2004)
173: Change to make mbox_shortened option work a little better with
174: discard_dup_msgids = 0.
175: Change folder_by_date option to use "From " date rather than "Date: "
176: to decide which subdirectory to use. This makes it consistent with
177: top level index page.
178:
179: Peter McCluskey (Dec 26, 2003)
180: Add increment = -1 mode to enable automatic determination of whether
181: to update or append in most cases.
182:

189:
190: Peter McCluskey (Nov 17, 2003)
191: Add a check for the problem with the starting message number that was
192: partly fixed on Oct 1. Now old archives with a startmsgnum = 0 .hmrc but
193: a first message of 0001.html in this case will be treated as if startmsgnum
194: was 0.
195:
196: Peter McCluskey (Nov 15, 2003)
197: Add Portugese support from Hugo Cisneiros.
198:
199: Peter McCluskey (Oct 1, 2003)
200: Fix some problems with starting message number that caused bugs when
201: increment = 1, linkquotes = 1 and using folder_by_date.
202:
203: Peter McCluskey (Sep 11, 2003)
204: Fixes to make pcre work.
205:
206: Peter McCluskey (Sep 3, 2003)
207: Applied patches from Mike McDonald to use nowrap option in the author and
208: date columns in the index tables and get rid of all of the 'width=100%'
209: options to the tables.
210:
211: Peter McCluskey (Sep 3, 2003)
212: French language improvements from Olivier Kaloudoff.
213:
214: Peter McCluskey (Sep 1, 2003)
215: Applied patches from Mike McDonald to make spamify_replacedomain use
216: set_antispam_at, change printdates to include the dates in the table
217: version of the bydate index, and make the table use the whole screen
218: width instead of 80%.
219:
220: Jose Kahan (Aug 18, 2003)
221: - Changed to lowercase the suffixes added to the message indexes. That is,
222: from "archive name By Date" to "archive name by date" because the
223: upper case seemed out of style as we don't have any control on what
224: is the string used for the archive's name. Did this change only for
225: the English messages as I don't know if this convention works well for
226: other languages.
227:
228: Jose Kahan (Aug 18, 2003)
229: - Made the links to the different indexes show the index of the current entry.
230: This change originated from the feedback we got on the WAI enhanced archievs.
231: People find that this small changes increases the usability of the archive.
232:
233: Jose Kahan (Aug 18, 2003)
234: - The links to the first message (aka #first) were not working in the
235: by attachment, by author, and by subject indexes.
236:
237: Peter McCluskey (Aug 16, 2003)
238: - applied fix from Jean-Charles Meyrignac to handle 0x1A in mbox.
239:
240: Jose Kahan (Aug 14, 2003)
241: - After receiving more feedback, reverted the changes done for converting the
242: displayed value of the Date: header. The reason is that users like to know
243: when they send a message. This information was getting lost because we
244: were converting the date to the local time.
245: - Made the Received on date be shown in converted local time.
246: - Added a new configuration option, indexdateformat, so that people can
247: specify a different format for indexes than the one used elsewhere. If this
248: variable is not defined., it'll use the dateformat by default.
249: - Made the index by date compare dates independently of the value of dateformat.
250:
251: Jose Kahan (Aug 13, 2003)
252: - Made the Received on footnote line use the same date format as that used for the
253: Date: header on top of the messages.
254:
255: Jose Kahan (Aug 18, 2003)
256: - Small WAI change to the list of indexes to show the entry corresponding to
257: the current index, but outside of a link. This comes from feedback, where
258: people said it was less distracting to see the same index to links all
259: the time.
260:
261: Jose Kahan (Aug 18, 2003)
262: - Add the <title> WAI enhancement that I had forgotten to do for messages.
263: The new format is: [subject] from [author] on [date] ([mailing list label]).
264: I also removed the 64 characters maximum limit check we had on the title.
265: The reason is that this is not part of the HTML specification, but rather
266: a writing style. Dominique says we shouldn't be so strict in this case. In
267: addition, just adding a \0 after 64 characters could break entity names and
268: generate invalid HTML.
269:
270: Jose Kahan (Aug 13, 2003)
271: - The mailcommand option didn't work when applied to a paragraph that had
272: a previously converted href string that includes the '@' char. I added
273: a quick hack to ConvURlsString to avoid doing the mailto: convertion if an href
274: already exists in that line. The best solution would be to do something
275: similar to ConvURLsWithHrefs.
276: Also fixed a memory leak.
277:
278: Peter McCluskey (Aug 8, 2003)
279: - Applied haof fixes from Bernhard Reiter.
280:
281: Jose Kahan (Aug 4, 2003)
282: - As a side effect of PNK's use of an SGML entity for the @ char, the
283: mailcommand option stopped working on all the headers except for
284: the To: one.
285:
286: Jose Kahan (Aug 1, 2003)
287: - In order to guarantee the validity of XHTML documents, changed the
288: behavior of hypermail when including customized footers. Previously,
289: when using this option, the custom markup had to include the </body>
290: and </html> end tags. As we also need to include a </div> in some
291: cases for XHTML and it's much harder to guess when to add it, I
292: made hypermail always add those three end tags as needed, regardless
293: of whether the custom footer option is being used.
294:
295: Jose Kahan (Jul 30, 2003)
296: - After talking with Dom Hazel-Massieux, I added some extra WAI enhancements
297: to the list of indexes generated by hypermai. Specifically, the date
298: is shown in a verbose name in the title attribute of each entry and in
299: an abbreviated version in the markup that's being displayed.
300:
301: Jose Kahan (Jul 30, 2003)
302: - When rebuilding an archive, the attachment files were not being overwritten
303: correctly. . Fixed this by adding an O_TRUNC flag.
304:
305: Jose Kahan (Jul 29, 2003)
306: - Removed a memory leak in file.c as reported by insure.
307: - The ietf-mbox option didn't work on "quoted printable" encoded attachments.
308:
309: Peter McCluskey (July 22, 2003)
310: Fix show_msg_links = 3 option (Jose's changes assumed it didn't exist).
311: Updates to German from Tobias Weber.
312:
313: Kent Landfield (Jul 14, 2003)
314: - When show_headers was used in print.c, the newline was not recognized
315: early enough in printheaders. A check was added to assure the newline
316: was recognized properly.
317:
318: Kent Landfield (Jul 10, 2003)
319: - Small typo in print.c corrected.
320: fprintf(fp, "%s ^lt;<em>%s</em>>"...
321:
322: ========================
323: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.1.8:
324: ========================
325:
326: Kent Landfield (Jun 28, 2003)
327: - Updated pcre library with pcre-4.3 sources. We were distributing a
328: much older version. We were distributing version was 3.3 from
329: August 1, 2000.
330: - Updated FILES with the lcc files and the pcre changes.
331: - Removed the deprecated "show_hr" from the tests/test.rc file.
332:
333: Jose Kahan (Jul 2, 2003)
334: - parseurl didn't work well when an URL was quoted and enclosed inside
335: tags. Such as:
336: <dd>some url</dd> </dd was put as part of the url.
337:
338: Jose Kahan (Jul 1, 2003)
339: - Added WAI enhancements to the list of indexes generated by hypermail.
340: To make things perfect, we would need a new configuration option to give
341: the format of the date in the list of indexes format. I hard coded it
342: for the moment as I ran out of time to do it right now. As it has to
343: use an abbreviated date format to avoid having a too big list of indexes,
344: we can' t reuse the standard set_dateformat value.
345: - Removed warnings detected thru gcc Wall.
346:
347: Peter McCluskey (June 30, 2003)
348: - Increased max_tokens used to allocate space for linkquotes data struct.
349:
350: Jose Kahan (Jun 28, 2003)
351: - Code cleaning. Removed the deprecated code for set_showhr and
352: set_usetable options.
353:
354: Kent Landfield (Jun 28, 2003)
355: - Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm@sse.pl> reported progerr() was being
356: called with NULL instead of the previously constructed error message.
357: His supplied patches were applied.
358:
359: Peter McCluskey (June 27, 2003)
360: - Made dates in subdirectory index files reflect subdirectory date range,
361: rather than the date range for the whole archive.
362:
363: Peter McCluskey (June 24, 2003)
364: - Fix print_index_header_links to print MSG_ENDING date correctly (had
365: been using 2 getdatestr() calls in one argument list).
366:
367: Peter McCluskey (June 20, 2003)
368: - Fix a core dump with empty Date:.
369:
370: Jose Kahan (Jun 10, 2003)
371: - Some extra WAI enhancements requested during the period of public comments:
372: Order the date index by dates, like in subjects, add <dfn> to the start and
373: end period in the indexes, change the title of "jump to first message" to
374: "jump to list of messages".
375: - The top respond link didn't take into account the msgid or subject. It was
376: just a plain mailto. Made it work as the bottom one.
377:
378: Jose Kahan (Jun 10, 2003)
379: - Adding new messages using the -u option to an existing file sometimes
380: resulted in warnings saying "Message-ID is missing, ignoring message
381: with subject..." Patch idea submitted by Peter.
382:
383: Jose Kahan (Jun 10, 2003)
384: - The incremental option (-u) always started new archives with 0001, rather
385: than 0000. It will now start with 0000 as before
386: For those people who had this problem and don't want to break any links to
387: their archives when rebuilding them, there's a new configuration option
388: allowing you to tell from which number you want to start your archive:
389: startmsgnum. You should only set it up once and not modify it for an
390: existing archive or your links may break.
391: A warning message appeared systematically because the showhr, which is
392: now deprecated, was turned on by default.
393:
394: Peter McCluskey (May 22, 2003)
395: - add Italian support from Gabriele Bartolini and Marco Nenciarini.
396:
397: Peter McCluskey (May 16, 2003)
398: - Fixed initialization of prior_subdir when dirs created out of
399: order. That fixes a case where a subdir wasn't in index files with
400: reverse_folders = 1.
401:
402: Jose Kahan (May 13, 2003)
403: - Add the WAI enhancements proposed in
404: http://www.w3.org/2002/03/archives-improvements/.
405: As a consequence of this change, the sethr and usetable configuration
406: options are deprecated. The new markup takes into account the changes
407: that those options proposed and offers them in a WAI friendly way.
408: Some code cleaning needs yet to be done to remove all the cases
409: where those rules were used. Previous code version is tagged as
410: "before-wai".
411: Fixed some invalid XHTML markup too.
412:
413: Peter McCluskey (May 12, 2003)
414: - fix txtsuffix to not crash on null pointer.
415: - fix discard_dup_msgids to work when showprogress = 0.
416:
417: Peter McCluskey (April 24, 2003)
418: - spam encoding from Peter Karlsson. Currently enabled via the
419: spamprotect option.
420:
421: Jose Kahan (Apr 23, 2003)
422: - As a consequence of the XHTML convertion, unconvchars() wasn't
423: storing information into the buffer when there were no entities.
424:
425: Jose Kahan (Apr 10, 2003)
426: - Converted hypermail to XHTML. The only remaining issue concerns
427: charsets. Some mail clients don't specify a correct charset or
428: specify a charset and include characters belonging to other
429: charset spaces. The solution to detect and convert the
430: foreign charset into a Unicode entity or, for the adventurous
431: hacker, convert hypermail's output to UTF-8. For the moment, only
432: the former is implemented partially; there is only one a winlatin1
433: (Windows CP 1252) to Unicode convertion/detection being done.
434: See string.c:convchars, unconvwinlatin1, and uconvert.h for more
435: details.
436: The best solution will be to move to UTF-8, but this has to be planned.
437: If you have a charset issue, your XHTML document will be invalid.
438: As XHTML is backwards compatible with HTML, you can avoid this problem
439: by continuing to use the text/html MIME type.
440:
441: Peter McCluskey (April 3, 2003)
442: - Fixed so attachment.html doesn't list .meta directory.
443:
444: Kent Landfield (Mar 20, 2003)
445: - Added Splint (www.splint.org) support to src/Makefile.in
446: - Corrected Initializer block for ltable[12]. Had 2 fields, but struct
447: language_entry has 3 fields.
448: - Removed unused gp variable in update_deletions().
449: - modified print_main_header() to assure title meets HTML recommendations
450: of no longer than 64 characters.
451: - Updated docs/hypermail.rc
452:
453: Peter McCluskey (Mar 18, 2003)
454: - Fixed overwrite = 0 to avoid rewrite of many files involved in replies
455: with folder_by_date option.
456:
457: Peter McCluskey (Mar 14, 2003)
458: - Fixed two bugs with deleting messages with the incremental mode. One bug
459: meant that the message body was only rewritten or removed with the
460: delete_msgnum option, not delete_older / delete_newer. The other bug
461: involved only updating the is_deleted flag in the gdbm file if the
462: message body was redone to update a MSG_IN_REPLY_TO line.
463:
464: Kent Landfield (Mar 9, 2003)
465: - updated domains.h to accurately reflect the current set of root domains.
466:
467: Peter McCluskey (Mar 7, 2003)
468: - Fixed problem with reverse_folders option that caused the index file
469: to leave out folders when there were some unusual mismatches between the
470: 2 dates in one message.
471:
472: Kent Landfield (Feb 28, 2003)
473: - changed wait.h sys/wait.h for portability in msg2archive
474: - removed unused variable in finelink.c
475:
476: Kent Landfield (Feb 20, 2003)
477: - corrected docs/Makefile.in to create the images dir if it does not exist.
478:
479: Kent Landfield (Feb 20, 2003)
480: - added wait.h to msg2archive that was needed for s_popen()
481: - removed unused variable in finelink.c
482:
483: ========================
484: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.1.7:
485: ========================
486:
487: Peter McCluskey (Feb 20, 2003)
488: - Made version 2.1.7 tar file.
489:
490: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (Feb 20, 2003)
491: - makemailcommand wasn't escaping non-ascii characters in the URLS
492: that it generated.
493:
494: Peter McCluskey (Feb 19, 2003)
495: - Fix to append option to handle some lines getting discarded in mdecodeQP.
496:
497: Kent Landfield (Feb 19, 2003)
498: - Updated TODO with configure issues and other corrections we want
499: to make to the code in the near future.
500:
501: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (Feb 19, 2003)
502: - Upgraded extract_rfc2047_content() as the previous extracting
503: algorithm was broken.
504:
505: Kent Landfield (Feb 18, 2003)
506: - Added missing contrib utilities, contrib/msg2hypermailarchive.py
507: and contrib/runtest to FILES
508: - Added checking in struct.c to limit the length of Subject: line to
509: avoid theoretical Denial-of-Service
510: - Removed code that was ifdef'ed NOTUSED
511:
512: Peter McCluskey (Feb 17, 2003)
513: - Fix to attachment Content-Type parsing to strip all whitespace off
514: end of type rather than just newline.
515:
516: Kent Landfield (Feb 17, 2003)
517: - Added safe_tmpfile() usage instead of internal usage.
518:
519: Peter McCluskey (Feb 14, 2003)
520: - Disabled conversion of file:// into href - it seemed to allow anyone
521: who could access the web server via local host could read any file
522: that the web server had permission to read rather than just files
523: in the archive directory.
524:
525: Peter McCluskey (Feb 13, 2003)
526: - Add -DTRIO_MINIMAL. Solves a trio compile problem in SunOS and makes
527: binary a little smaller.
528: - Strip mail.c down to minimal warning message so we don't have to worry
529: about analyzing it's security problems.
530: - Changes to get strerror, memmove from pcre when missing (e.g. on SunOS).
531: How was this working on SunOS before?
532: - Fix faulty sizeof in snprintf for MSG_ENCODING_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
533:
534: Kent Landfield (kent@hypermail.org) (February 12, 2003)
535: - Converted msg2archive.c to use Thomas Biege's <thomas@suse.de>
536: s_popen() instead of popen().
537:
538: Kent Landfield (kent@hypermail.org) (February 11, 2003)
539: - Modified configure.in to test for snprintf. This is needed
540: since Solaris 2.5.1 does not have snprintf. This only affects
541: the msg2archive and mbox2hypermail in the archive directory.
542:
543: Kent Landfield (kent@hypermail.org) (February 10, 2003)
544: - Modified configure to assure on Solaris that the ctype functions
545: were used instead of the macroes. New NO_MACRO define in config.h.
546: - Added most of the patches submitted by Thomas Biege <thomas@suse.de>
547: - Cleaned up compilation commenting out unused variables with NOT_USED.
548: Need to remove them and other unnecessary code soon.
549: - Various other minor compilation issues.
550: - Corrected prototype issue in print.c
551: - Added parameter checking to archive/*.c source
552:
553: Peter McCluskey (Feb 10, 2003)
554: - Fixed the append option to handle lines between end of headers through
555: mime boundary correctly.
556:
557: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (February 06, 2003)
558: - Added a protection against the use of the nonsequential messaging option
559: when hypermail wasn't compiled with the libfnv.
560:
561: Kent Landfield (kent@hypermail.org) (February 06, 2003)
562: - Hypermail 2.1.6 runs on a DEC Alpha running TRU64 when compiled
563: with GCC 2.95. It does however require the -mieee flag be set for the
564: trionan.c sources.
565: - Modified configure.in script to support setting the the -mieee flag
566: for an Alpha TRU64 build.
567: - Modified various Makefile.in files to assure clean/clobber/distclean
568: worked universally.
569:
570: Peter McCluskey (Feb 1, 2003)
571: - Changes to make stack overflow less common.
572:
573: Peter McCluskey (January 29, 2003)
574: - Fixed faulty freeing of memory that caused core dump with files_by_thread
575: option.
576: - Fixed missing function call argument with files_by_thread option. I suspect
577: this was causing some random behavior, but I only found it due to valgrind.
578: - Fix for placement of link to next msg with incremental update, usetable = 0.
579:
580: Peter McCluskey (January 28, 2003)
581: - Fix from Zvi Har'El to leading zeroes in anchors in index pages with
582: indextable=0.
583: - Changes to Swedish from Peter Karlsson.
584:
585: Peter McCluskey (January 26, 2003)
586: - Fix for placement of link to next msg with incremental update.
587:
588: ========================
589: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.1.6:
590: ========================
591:
592: Peter McCluskey (January 24, 2003)
593: - Released version 2.1.6 tar file.
594: - Fix buffer overflow when progress = 2 (triggered by long attachment
595: names). Was a security risk.
596: - Fix buffer overflow in mail (cgi) program that probably created security
597: risk if gethostbyaddr returned h_name of about 80 chars for an ip address.
598: - Disabled the functionality of the mail program and replaced it by default
599: with warning about abuse by spammers. Added warnings about use of program.
600: - Change size of boundbuffer (in parse.c) to 256, limit sscanf that fills it
601: to 255 bytes. This prevents a buffer overflow with long mime boundaries. The
602: buffer overflow didn't seemed to produce only minor problems, but it's hard
603: to rule out security risks.
604: - Add check for inline attachment name overflowing attachname buffer (like
605: the check that Jose added today for non-inlined attachments).
606: - Add check for append_filename and alts_text exceeding buffer size.
607: - Delete attachment directory of messages that are discarded due to a missing
608: or duplicate message-id.
609:
610: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (January 24, 2003)
611: - Fixed a buffer overflow reported by Ulf Harnhammar from VSU security.
612:
613: Peter McCluskey (January 22, 2003)
614: - If mime message has an end boundary but no start boundary (as a buggy
615: version of Microsoft Outlook seems to create), the body is now treated
616: as a plain text message rather than discarded.
617: - Update trio code to trio version 1.9.
618:
619: Peter McCluskey (January 20, 2003)
620: - Several fixes to avoid uninitialized memory reads reported by valgrind.
621:
622: Peter McCluskey (January 18, 2003)
623: - Fix random behavior in parseurl which sometimes caused core dumps on lines
624: ending in http://, ftp://, etc.
625:
626: Peter McCluskey (December 19, 2002)
627: - Apply patch from Wolfgang Spraul fixing link from subdir attachment.html to
628: index.html when defaultindex = date
629:
630: Peter McCluskey (November 26, 2002)
631: - Changed attachment naming back to what it was before Jose added
632: set_nonsequential.
633: - Changed attachment naming so that files are stored using the names
634: provided without any %d- prepended whenever that doesn't cause conflicts.
635:
636: Kent Landfield (kent@hypermail.org) (November 24, 2002)
637: - Made some updates to the docs. Still need to update the
638: docs to include writehaof, nonsequential, msgsperfolder and
639: assure other config file directives are listed and current.
640:
641: Kent Landfield (kent@hypermail.org) (November 24, 2002)
642: - Added Russian language support.
643: Submitted by Igor Solovyoff" <siv@intear.com.ua>
644:
645: Kent Landfield (kent@hypermail.org) (November 24, 2002)
646: - Made the "_at_" antispam bit configurable by config file, using
647: antispam_at = __somestring__ (does not have to have __ in it)
648: Anything hardcoded by default, can be figured out and used by
649: spammers. Particularly something like "_at_".
650: Submitted by Philip Brown <phil@bolthole.com>
651:
652: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (October 17, 2002)
653: - URL generation was broken when a URL had a '@' char and hypermail
654: was using the mailcommand option. parseemail() didn't take this
655: case into account yet (there's just an empty statement). I added a
656: quick patch to convert the '@' into an HTML entity when doing the
657: convertion inside a URL. The change is in translateurl().
658:
659: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (October 2, 2002)
660: - In order to avoid hashed filename collisions, the filename
661: is now built with a hash of the msgid concatenated to the
662: Epoch seconds of the From date. This gives a total of
663: 16 characters (all data is represented in hex). Only messages
664: that have the same msgid and that arrive in the same second
665: will have a collision.
666: I also compiled with the Warning flags and removed some
667: warnings.
668:
669: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (October 2, 2002)
670: - The access righs of the msgindex file (for the hashed filenames)
671: were not being set at all.
672:
673: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (October 1, 2002)
674: - The non-sequential msgid mode didn't work when updating the
675: archives by one message. Fixed a confusion in the generation of
676: the msgindex file.
677:
678: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (September 26, 2002)
679: - Cleaned the autoconf files for passing the libnvf compile parameters
680: (what a difference does reading the manual make).
681:
682: Peter McCluskey (September 25, 2002)
683: - Fix threading bug with incremental update and spamprotect_id = 1,
684: usegdbm = 0.
685:
686: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (September 25, 2002)
687: - Commited the ~/hypermail/ltmain.sh file and also put it in the
688: FILES section. Somehow, without this file, it was impossible to
689: compile the file generated thru a make tgz. The same kind of
690: file already existed in the pcre and fnv directories.
691: Added a rule to pass the FNV optional CFLAGS from the
692: ~/hypermail/Makefile file, so that you can do a make from the top-level
693: (previously, you had to do it in the src directory... oops!).
694:
695: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (September 25, 2002)
696: - Updated the FILES tgz file (added libfnv, removed two non-existent
697: tests).
698: - Fixed the make tgz rule (how long was it since it was last used?)
699:
700: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (September 25, 2002)
701: - Added a new option to compute the archived filenames using an fnv hash
702: of the msgid + received From date. The resulting filename is 8 bytes long
703: (a space of 2^32 bits) + the extension. You can eventually change it to
704: 16 bytes if this is too short. Just look at the code.
705: The advantage of this is that you can add and remove items from the
706: archive and not worry anymore about broken links if the sequence
707: changes (e.g., if you are rebuilding an archive). To activate this
708: option, you need to do a ./ configure --enable-libfnv, then
709: recompile hypermail. The name of the new option is nonsequential
710: (lack of imagination!).
711:
712: Peter McCluskey (September 17, 2002)
713: - Added reverse_folders option.
714:
715: Peter McCluskey (August 30, 2002)
716: - Fix segfaults in mdecodeRFC2047 (with headers encoded as quoted printable),
717: and in ConvURLsString.
718: - Add files_by_thread option.
719:
720: Peter McCluskey (August 20, 2002)
721: - Change preferedcontent to fall back on type "text/" or on encoding if
722: it can't find any prefered types.
723: - Fix mdecodeRFC2047 to decode headers of any length (removing 128 byte limit).
724: - Add classes to default stylesheet to set colors of headers, standard links,
725: and of quoted text according to quote nesting depth.
726:
727: Peter McCluskey (August 16, 2002)
728: - Fix bug internal error in crossindexthread2 resulting from message with
729: unterminated mime.
730:
731: Peter McCluskey (August 11, 2002)
732: - Add Norwegian language support from Bosse Klykken.
733:
734: Peter McCluskey (August 7, 2002)
735: - Add contrib/msg2hypermailarchive.py from Bernhard Reiter.
736: - Add antispamdomain option from Vincent McIntyre.
737: - Add delete_newer option.
738:
739: Peter McCluskey (August 3, 2002)
740: - Fix expires option to work in incremental mode.
741: - Add delete_older option.
742:
743: ========================
744: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.1.5:
745: ========================
746:
747: Peter McCluskey (July 31, 2002)
748: - Release version 2.1.5 tar file.

752: - Apply German language patch from Bernhard Reiter.
753: - Apply haof patch from Bernhard Reiter.
754:
755: Peter McCluskey (July 15, 2002)
756: - Fix some missing links to multipart attachments with save_alts option.
757:
758: Peter McCluskey (July 11, 2002)
759: - Add base_url option, and warning about it being needed when the
760: latest_folder option is used and the folder_by_date option contains a '/'.
761:
762: Peter McCluskey (July 8, 2002)
763: - Fix endless loop that save_alts option often produced.
764:
765: Peter McCluskey (June 18, 2002)
766: - Applied changes from Carlos Martín Ugalde to Spanish text.
767:
768: Peter McCluskey (June 13, 2002)
769: - Fix call to compute_quoted_percent so that it doesn't crash on deleted msg
770: with incremental update.
771:
772: Peter McCluskey (May 14, 2002)
773: - Add spamprotect_id option.
774:
775: Peter McCluskey (Apr 26, 2002)
776: - Changed to convert ampersands in urls to &.
777:
778: Peter McCluskey (Apr 22, 2002)

780: - Surpress <p> within <pre>.
781:
782: Peter McCluskey (Mar 22, 2002)
783: - Fixed to rewrite old messages that have new replies (some links to
784: replies/next in thread had been missing for overwrite=0, increment=0,
785: and also for linkquotes = 1).
786: - Updated configure to reflect Daniel's changes to fix --without-gdbm
787: in configure.in.
788:
789: Peter McCluskey (Mar 19, 2002)
790: - Increase MAXSTACK from 20 to 200.

794:
795: Peter McCluskey (Feb 4, 2002)
796: - Patch from William R. Knox to add meta date tag.
797:
798: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (Jan 25, 2002)
799: - When a message had a charset of type US-ASCII or ISO-8959-1, it wasn't
800: being stored in the HTML version of the message. This could result in
801: a correct decoding of the message, as browsers assume a user-given
802: default charset in those cases.
803:
804: Peter McCluskey (Jan 11 2002)
805: - Patch from William R. Knox to fix possible race condition in creating dirs.

857: - Added support for locales of form en_US. Changed language code "se" to
858: "sv", provide warning for old code.
859:
860: Peter McCluskey (Nov 22 2001)
861: - Applied patch from William King to create meta tag with hypermail version
862: number.

880: * remove noshade from <hr>
881: * change the default DTD
882: * escape &'s, add image/png in test.rc, hmrc.example
883: - Changed the fix*header() routines so that they handle incremental updates
884: sensibly when given a mailbox with multiple messages. In the process, I
885: fixed 2 problems with single-message incremental updates, one which left
886: out the "Next message" link, and one which created a "Reply" link that should
887: have been a "Maybe reply".
888: - Add warning for mbox that starts with different msg than gdbm file if

903: - Changes relevant to security:
904: 1. attachment filenames ending in .shtml get changed to .html.
905: 2. attachment descriptions are passed through convchars to prevent html tags
906: from being used there.
907:
908: Peter McCluskey (Nov 13 2001)
909: - Fixed malloc bug that caused segfault with linkquotes=1.
910:
911: Peter McCluskey (Nov 12 2001)

1088: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.1.0:

1096: - add fixhtime.pl (changes timestamps to match From:)
1097:
1098: Peter McCluskey (Mar 30 2001)
1099: - Reorganized hmrc.html.
1100: - Add options to split archive into subdirectories:
1101: folder_by_date

1108: - Enabled attachments index file, added sublists of attachment
1109: names and file sizes.
1110:
1111: Peter McCluskey (Mar 22 2001)
1112: - Fixed problem with GDBM defines.
1113: - Improved speed by replacing O(N^2) code in these functions with
1114: code that is at least typically close to O(N):
1115: addreply, crossindexthread1, crossindexthread2, nextinthread,
1116: writearticles (if set_showreplies)
1117: Accidentally improved threading under linkquotes option in the process.
1118: Overall performance probably scales up linearly with the number of
1119: messages under normal conditions (but not with linkquotes, which has other
1120: performance problems as well). Code is ifdef'd under FASTREPLYCODE for now.
1121:
1122: Peter McCluskey (Mar 19 2001)
1123: - Added new usegdbm and append options from Scott Rose.
1124:
1125: Peter McCluskey (Mar 14 2001)
1126: - Added avoid_indices option.
1127:
1128: Peter McCluskey (Mar 13 2001)
1129: - Sped up by balancing the datelist tree a bit (it had been virtually
1130: a linked list) and by removing redundant call to nextinthread.
1131:
1132: Peter McCluskey (Mar 12 2001)
1133: - Added contrib/cron_hypermail
1134: - Added some files in contrib and tests/mboxes to FILES.
1135:
1136: Peter McCluskey (Mar 2 2001)
1137: Added features originally implemented in critmail. New source files:
1138: finelink.c
1139: finelink.h
1140: quotes.c
1141: search.c
1142: search.h
1143: txt2html.c
1144: txt2html.h
1145: New options:
1146: - showhtml: new option value 2 gives richer conversion to html borrowed
1147: from txt2html.pl.
1148: - monthly_index: create additional index files broken up by month.
1149: - yearly_index: create additional index files broken up by year.
1150: - thread_file_depth: break the threads index file into multiple files,
1151: roughly one per thread.
1152: - linkquotes: creates fine-grained links from quoted text to the text
1153: where the quote originated. It also improves the threads index file
1154: by more accurately matching messages with replies.
1155: - searchbackmsgnum: with linkquotes and -u, speeds up processing, with
1156: some risk that linkquotes won't find all links it should.
1157: - link_to_replies: generate links from original quoted text to the
1158: location(s) in replies which quote them.
1159: - quote_hide_threshold: If the linkquotes option is on, replaces quoted
1160: text with links in messages which quote too much.
1161: - quote_link_string: with quote_hide_threshold, use this text in place
1162: of first line of quoted text.
1163:
1164: Peter McCluskey (Feb 20 2001)
1165: - replaced the bodymailcommand with the following, to be more compatible:
1166: * mailcommand - works as before unless replymsg_command specified
1167: * replymsg_command - used for sending a reply to the list; if not specified,
1168: is set to the value in mailcommand for compatibility with old .hmrc's
1169: * newmsg_command - used for sending a new message to the list
1170:
1171: ========================
1172: HYPERMAIL VERSION 2.0.0:
1173: ========================
1174:
1175: Peter McCluskey (Feb 19 2001) applied patches from "W. Tasin" <tasin@fhm.edu>
1176: - some changes in the german translation
1177: - if a Content-Base is found set content=CONTENT_IGNORE because it is on
1178: another server and it would never be parsed well inside the mail...
1179: (this is more a workaround than a good patch... a better way would be to
1180: include this to every link inside the content... to show up also this
1181: external site... but I think it is an easy way to handle this problem)
1182: - add NONE as value for set_mailcommand, so "New Message" will not be shown
1183: - improve handling of inline attachments after signature.
1184: - prevent "(no email)" in emailaddr from becoming mailto.
1185: - add option set_bodymailcommand to configure mailto's other than one
1186: used in MSG_NEW_MESSAGE or MSG_REPLY.
1187: - changes to makemailcommand to prevent (nil) from showing when no Subject:.
1188:
1189: Daniel Stenberg (Jan 3, 2001)
1190: - Added checks for more functions in the configure script
1191:
1192: Ashley M. Kirchner (May 31, 2000)
1193: - I converted all uppercase HTML tags to lowercase in the main hypermail
1194: base source. Stuff that got contributed (under the contrib directory)
1195: were not touched. I'm going to leave those for their respective
1196: contributors to change.
1197:
1198: Daniel Stenberg (daniel@haxx.nu) (May 25, 2000)
1199: - Added 'spamprotect' as a new flag. It replaces @-letters with "_at_" to
1200: confuse spam-email-robots a bit.
1201:
1202: - Found a terrible bug when an URL contains a @-letter, since it'll first
1203: become <href>-tagged and then <mailto>-converted... :-/
1204:
1205: - Added https:// as a recognized URL type (deja-vu, didn't I do this before?)
1206:
1207: - Corrected the alternative parser not being reset at the end of all mails
1208:
1209: Daniel Stenberg (daniel@haxx.nu) (May 23, 2000)
1210: - Corrected the output on %> appearences in the template files
1211:
1212: - Applied the beauty fix supplied by Darryl Lee <lee@darryl.com>
1213:
1214: Daniel Stenberg (Apr 10, 2000)
1215: - I made %<unknown letter> in printfile display exactly as used the other
1216: day. Today I changed my email address all over!
1217:
1218: - Added https:// to the recognized URL types to <a>-ify
1219:
1220: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (Jan 17, 2000)
1221:
1222: - The quoted printable decoding didn't take into account the
1223: ietf-mbox option.
1224:
1225: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (Dec 24, 1999)
1226:
1227: - Removed an invalid </A> tag when using tables.
1228:
1229: - When using the showhtml option, invalid HTML was generated in the
1230: headers: <P><P> before the </PRE>.
1231:
1232: - Stopped the generation of a Mailto on msgid's.
1233:
1234: - Rearranged the format of the index and messages when not using
1235: tables. My aim was to make the format more symetrical.
1236:
1237: - Added a new item, "Mail actions", in the control menu. This item
1238: is only active when using the mailcommand and hmail options, and
1239: when the tables are turned off. This option duplicates the one found in
1240: the table.
1241:
1242: - Added two new options for linking external stylesheets to the index
1243: and the messages, respectively: icss_url, mcss_url. The link is added
1244: as a META element in the header.
1245:
1246: - The default value of the mailcommand mailto: had some typos: non
1247: escaped chars, use of reply-to instead of in-reply-to.
1248:
1249: - Two protections were missing to avoid having empty HREFs when the
1250: about and archives options were defined in the .hmrc file, but wihout
1251: any given value.
1252:
1253: Jose Kahan (jose@w3.org) (Dec 15, 1999)
1254:
1.9 kahan 1255: - The inline changes from 29/Nov had the side effect that other
1256: inline attachments, like text/html were being linked like inline
1257: images.
1258:
1.8 kahan 1259: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Dec 8, 1999)
1260:
1261: - Bjarni R. Einarsson <bre@netverjar.is> pointed out that the
1262: "Reply:" and "Maybe Reply:" output was not correct. pcm@rahul.net
1263: (Peter C. McCluskey) submitted a patch that fixes them as well
1264: as the current threading allows.
1265:
1266: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Dec 7, 1999)
1267:
1268: - Added hoaf-28 python index generator written and contributed
1269: by Bernhard Reiter <bernhard@climate2.geog.uwm.edu> to the basline.
1270:
1271: - Added ls2mail script written by David Kilzer <ddkilzer@ti.com>
1272: to the basline.
1273:
1274: - Converted libcgi.doc to libcgi.html.
1275:
1276: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Dec 1, 1999)
1277:
1278: - hypermail-2b28 rolled.
1279:
1280: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 29, 1999)
1281:
1282: - Corrected a parsing error in parsemail when dealing with
1283: attachments. If the filename was "quoted" things worked
1284: properly. If the filename was not quoted then the name
1285: of the attachment was dropping the first letter of the
1286: filename and adding '_' to the end.
1287:
1288: - Corrected a conditional statement that was limiting storage
1289: of 'inline' types to only recording inline types that were
1290: of type image/.
1291:
1292: - Changed strstr usage when searching MIME headers to
1293: use strcasestr instead as the case sensitivity was
1294: getting in the way.
1295:
1296: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 28, 1999)
1297:
1298: - Inconsistencies in write* routines called in hypermail.c
1299: pointed out by Bernhard Reiter <bernhard@uwm.edu>. set_*
1300: variables were used but still passing values in with the
1301: function call. Removed unneeded parameters.
1302:
1303: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 22, 1999)
1304:
1305: - The .hmrc resources didn't seem to override the default values, but
1306: rather got added to them. This was corrected for list usage. If
1307: a list value is set in the .hmrc file, it should completely replace
1308: the default values. This need only occur on the first occurance
1309: after the builtin initialization.
1310:
1311: - Jeff Katcher pointed out 'At the bottom of index.html and date.html,
1312: "Last message date:" is output twice. It's only present once on the
1313: author and subject pages.' This has been corrected so it is only
1314: printed once.
1315:
1316: Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> (Nov 23, 1999)
1317:
1318: - A typo in setup.c:PreConfig gave problems (memory overwrite) when
1319: dealing with CFG_LIST configuration options.
1320:
1321: - uudecode wasn't working with the ietf-mbox option.
1322:
1323: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 22, 1999)
1324:
1325: - Error in setting of defaultindex in configure.in caused no index.html
1326: file to be created. configure.in was corrected to set the default
1327: index to "thread" instead of thread.html.
1328:
1329: - Added .indent.pro files to FILES file.
1330:
1331: - Added "-p" option to mkdir so all parent directories will be made if
1332: needed.
1333:
1334: - Added requests to TODO file.
1335:
1336: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 17, 1999)
1337:
1338: - hypermail-2b27 rolled.
1339:
1340: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 17, 1999)
1341:
1342: - Changed the install dependencies for the Makefile.in files
1343: so that install-sh is used through out.
1344:
1345: - Assured all includes are checked for in configure.
1346:
1347: - Updated FILES
1348:
1349: - Corrected dependencies on defaults.h
1350:
1351: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 14, 1999)
1352:
1353: - Corrected CFG_LIST storage of defaults other than NULL in
1354: the function ConfigAddItem().
1355:
1356: - Assured struct hmlist variables set_text_types,
1357: set_inline_types, set_prefered_types, set_ignore_types,
1358: and set_show_headers set to NULL initially. Othewise
1359: add_list was checking garbage when called from ConfigAddItem().
1360:
1361: - Reworked some of the defaults in setup.c
1362:
1363: - Added a dump_configI() routine to print out all internal variables
1364: for debugging. Use #ifdef DEBUG to get it included.
1365:
1366: - Removed unused defines in setup.h
1367:
1368: - Added defaults.h.in so sites could setup reasonable global defaults.
1369:
1370: - Added additional configure support for setting defaults for
1371: language, htmlsuffix, defaultindex and domainaddr in defaults.h.
1372:
1373: - Added cleanup of defaults.h and mail-archive test directory to Makefile
1374:
1375: - Removed old method from Makefile.in and lists.h in the archive directory.
1376:
1377: - Regenerated configure from configure.in.
1378:
1379: - Regenerated the dependencies in src/Makefile.in
1380:
1381: - Removed some #if 0 code in date.c
1382:
1383: - Changed strdup calls to strsav calls in getname.c and mail.c
1384:
1385: - Cleaned up html page output if usetable was selected.
1386:
1387: - Removed unnecessary variable passing into the writedates(),
1388: writethreads(), writesubjects(), writeauthors() routines.
1389:
1390: - Freed up memory alocated for configfile variable.
1391:
1392: - Removed unneeded variables in hypermail.h (previously #if 0'ed)
1393:
1394: - Updated README a bit.
1395:
1396: - Updated Changelog
1397:
1398: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 11, 1999)
1399:
1400: - Removed strdup declarations that were causing gcc to fail
1401: on certain systems.
1402:
1403: - Added French language support contributed by Nicolas NOBLE
1404: <pixels@chez.com>
1405:
1406: - Updated documents about "is" and "fr" language support.
1407:
1408: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (Nov 9, 1999)
1409:
1410: - Added checking the return value of getpwuid() in readconfigs. If
1411: the value is NULL then see if the $HOME is set in the environment.
1412: This avoids a crash for Win32 users who don't bother to set up
1413: /etc/passwd in cygwin environment.
1414:
1415: - Added support for proper naming of executables (hypermail on
1416: Unix hypemail.exe on Dos/Windows/NT).
1417:
1418: - Corrected getlocaltime so it would not print the timezone twice
1419: if the timezone was also specified in the dateformat directive.
1420:
1421: - Corrected print.c so From: is printed when the email address
1422: is the same as email name.
1423:
1424: - Removed tests/testhm from the baseline. Replaced it with testhm.in
1425: so configure can generate the proper path to the test hypermail
1426: executable.
1427:
1428: - Modified configure.in so that it can determine if it is running
1429: in cygwin environment. Added tests/testhm.in support.
1430:
1431: - Removed acconfig.h from the baseline as it is no longer needed
1432: with the current configure changes.
1433:
1434: - Assured destination directories exist for all installed files.
1435:
1436: - Added uninstall option in makefiles.
1437:
1438: - Cleaned up the docs/Install-win32.txt to reflect the changes made.
1439:
1.7 kahan 1440: Bjarni R. Einarsson <bre@netverjar.is> (Nov 5, 1999)
1441:
1442: - "is" message table translation.
1443:
1444: - Added a stripsubject feature to hypermail, which
1445: makes it remove all occurances of a given word from the subject line,
1446: which is really useful for un-cluttering the subjects of some mailing
1447: lists (my lists all have their subjects prefixed with [listname]: -
1448: which is quite redundant in an archive).
1449:
1.8 kahan 1450: Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> (Nov 4, 1999)
1.7 kahan 1451:
1452: - Cleaned a bit the HTML format as well as the arranging of the indexes,
1453: to make them look a bit more coherent.
1454:
1455: - Commented the code that assumed we have an HTML text when finding a
1456: line with <HTML>. The best way is to send HTML text using a correct
1457: content type.
1458:
1459: - New configuration option, custom_archives, that allows to define
1460: a proprietary HTML text to be shown in the Other mailing archives
1461: item.
1462:
1463: - New configuration option, ietf_mbox, for parsing IETF-formatted mboxes
1464: (see the doc).
1465:
1.8 kahan 1466: Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> (Nov 2, 1999)
1.7 kahan 1467:
1468: - When using the showhtml option, </PRE> tags were being added to each
1469: line of the signatures.
1470:
1.6 kahan 1471: Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.north.de> (October 27, 1999)
1472:
1473: - Some where the showheaders functionality was lost. It has been
1474: partially added in. The 'hm_show_headers = list_of_RFC_Headers_to_display'
1475: functionality did not work and has been corrected.
1476:
1477: - If the show_headers directive contains the special character ``*'',
1478: hypermail will display all header lines.
1479:
1480: - Hypermail 2.x can now read hypermail 1.02 config files. Needed
1481: to assure minimal impact of existing sites that use the older
1482: version of hypermail.
1483:
1484: - hmrc.4 and hypermail.1 have been updated.
1485:
1486: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (October 27, 1999)
1487:
1488: - Edited documentation to the text more readable by using two spaces
1489: after a fullstop.
1490:
1491: - Cleaned up prototypes so they are consistent through out the include files.
1492:
1493: - Found many locations where a local variable was shadowing a global
1494: variable. Renamed certain variables to assure no compiler confusion.
1495:
1496: - Extended the warning switches in WARNINGS in the Makefile.in.
1497:
1498: Kent Landfield <kent@landfield.com> (October 23, 1999)
1499:
1500: - Added additional checks in configure for the operating system. Set -Ae for
1501: HP-UX and added checks for functions in libsocket and libnsl. Added sanity
1502: checks to assure you are on the same machine if you are using the existing
1503: config.cache and added acconfig.h config.guess config.sub support files.
1504: Additional cleanup to configure.in and a regenerated configure script.
1505:
1506: Scott Rose <srose@direct.ca> (October 20, 1999)
1507:
1508: - When a URL has trailing punctuation, it is almost certainly not part of
1509: the URL. This version of parseurl() therefore excludes trailing
1510: punctuation from URLs it finds.
1511:
1512: - If the content-description of a message was empty, and at the end of a
1513: line, the link to the associated attachment was anchored on null text.
1514: Fixed to assure the text is anchored on the filename in the generated HTML.
1515:
1516: Scott Rose <srose@direct.ca> (October 19, 1999)
1517:
1518: - Added contrib/canonicalize.pl
1519:
1520: Comparing two archives is complicated by the fact that each message is
1521: marked by the time at which it's archived. Attached is a script that
1522: standardizes that date, if weakly, useful for such comparisons.
1523:
1524: - Added contrib/hyperfeed.pl
1525:
1526: Feed messages from an mbox into hypermail one at a time so as
1527: to test the incremental mode of hypermail.
1528:
1529: - The idea here is that we are zipping along through an mbox, gathering
1530: information about a message, when we encounter a "From " line that signals
1531: the start of the next message. A side effect is populating dp with the
1532: date from that "From " line. In the existing code, that value is copied
1533: into fromdate[] just before the old message is hashed, which causes it
1534: to be associated with the previous message. This caused different output
1535: depending on incremental or mbox updating. This patch corrects that
1536: by moving the date copy until after the addhash function is called.
1537:
1538: Kent (October 18, 1999)
1539:
1540: - Updated parseurl fuction as done by Scott Rose <srose@direct.ca>
1541: provided 25% faster processing than the existing version while
1542: maintaining the same functionality.
1543:
1544: Kent (October 8, 1999)
1545:
1546: - Changed msg2archive.c to be able to use the command line
1547:
1548: - Made changes to runtest to assure msg2archive could be tested.
1549:
1550: - Added the indent file .indent.pro in archive, src and lib.
1551:
1552: - Ran indent on all sources in archive, src, and lib.
1553:
1554: - Made changes to configure.in to better support libsocket.a
1555:
1556: - Corrected configure.in check from gethostbyname to gethostbyaddr.
1557:
1558: - Added configure check for inet_addr
1559:
1560: - Added addition header checks and function checks in configure.in
1561:
1562: - Regenerated config.h.in with autoheader
1563:
1564: - Regenerated configure with autoconf
1565:
1566: - Updated the source files to use the HAVE_* definitions in config.h
1567:
1568: - Minor editing on the README
1569:
1570: - Minor updates to the TODO file and Changelog file.
1571:
1572: - Updated KNOWN_BUGS with the content of tests/Problems
1573:
1574: - Removed tests/Problems from the baseline as it was duplicating
1575: KNOWN_BUGS
1576:
1577: - Removed src/Formatting from the baselien as it was a junk working
1578: file of mine that should never have been baselined originally.
1579:
1580: - Added tests/mboxes/embedded.msg as a test file and updated
1581: tests/testhm to exersize it.
1582:
1583: - Removed the listing for tests/Problems and src/Formatting, while
1584: adding tests/mboxes/embedded.msg to the FILES file.
1585:
1586: - Added the corrected version of hypetombox.pl done by
1587: Peter McCluskey (pcm@rahul.net) to the baseline.
1588:
1589: Jose (October 7, 1999)
1590:
1591: - Changed the HTML DTD string of the generated strings to HTML 4.0
1592: Transitional.
1593:
1594: - Updated the doc to correspond to the suppression of the
1595: options's hm_ prefix. Made the doc's HTML documents valid HTML 4.0 docs.
1596:
1.5 kahan 1597: Kent (September 20, 1999)
1.6 kahan 1598:
1.5 kahan 1599: - Cleanup of prototypes.
1.3 kahan 1600:
1.5 kahan 1601: - Removed the generated getdate.c from the baseline. (Generated
1602: from getdate.y.
1603:
1604: - Purified and removed array bounds read problems.
1605:
1606: Daniel (September 17, 1999)
1607: - Applied language patches from Jyrki Kuoppala <jkp@kaapeli.fi>
1608:
1609: - Applied Kent Landfields lots of changes. getname() is reverted to an older
1610: version since the newer did out-of-bounds reads.
1611:
1612: - Paul Haldane's fix is applied.
1613:
1614: - Peter C. McCluskey <pcm@rahul.net> suggested fixreplyheader() correction
1615: has beed applied.
1616:
1617: Daniel (September 13, 1999)
1618:
1619: - Kent Landfield found a bunch of weirdnesses that were corrected, in:
1620: * threadprint.c/print_all_threads()
1621: * print.c, makemailcommand() usage
1622:
1623: Jose (September 8, 1999)
1624: - (This is a big commit as I'm merging my independent developments into
1625: the public hypermail tree, which I'll use from now on)
1626: If there's a Content-Description header, we now use it to describe
1627: MIME attachments (unless they are inlined).
1628: Two new options (see the hmrc.4 or hmrc.html file for more info):
1629: + hm_uselock to turn off hypermail's internal locking mechanism
1630: + hm_usemeta to store the content type of a MIME attachment in a
1631: metadata file (also available thru commandline option -M)
1632: If the usemeta option is turned on, the Content-Type header of an
1633: attachment is stored in a .meta directory (see hmrc.4 or hmrc.html for
1634: more info).
1635: Files where MIME attachments are now prefixed with a two-digit counter,
1636: a la dd-name. This is to avoid having having to create temporary files,
1637: and to preserver links. The counter is incremented for each attachment,
1638: regardless of it's being inline or not. I disabled the call to emptydir
1639: as it's not useful (will add it as an option later on).
1640: External MIME attachments that don't have a filename, are given the name
1641: dd-part.
1642: Improved handling of MIME rfc822 attachments.
1643: Improved handling of Content-Disposition
1644:
1.4 kahan 1645: Ashley (September 7, 1999)
1646: - Added configure options for --httpddir, --cgidir and --htmldir with
1647: Apache's layout as the default (/usr/local/apache)
1648:
1649: Daniel (August 23, 1999)
1650: - Removed the 40-letter limit for subjects in the thread-index when
1651: the table option was enabled.
1652:
1653: jose.kahan@w3.org
1654: - When the boundary is declared without quotes, parse.c failed to get it
1655: properly.
1656:
1657: - print.c: There was a missing <PRE> and this resulted in a not-readable text
1658:
1.3 kahan 1659: Daniel (August 10, 1999)
1660: - I hade a terrible bug that made the attachment directories to get created
1.4 kahan 1661: relative the wrong directory! They were also not getting the proper
1662: permissions set.
1.3 kahan 1663:
1664: Tim Witham <twitham@pcocd2.intel.com> (August 10, 1999)
1665: - Had to fix a realloc() with NULL pointer which sunos doesn't handle.
1666:
1667: 2a24
1668: ====
1669: Daniel (August 9, 1999)
1670: - I'm consider renaming the series of archives that I'm releasing, back to
1671: the beta label. It would be more correct. Kent is with us again and I
1672: don't think anyone is gonna continue on the now forever sleeping
1673: beta-series. This seems to be the one and only hypermail development
1674: branch and I believe we now have it stable enough.
1675:
1676: - 'attachmentlink' is a new config file item that controls how attachments'
1677: links are made. By using this you can make a wrapper cgi script on your
1678: server that issues a warning to the user that it may be dangerous to run
1679: attachments or whatever you think is appropriate. Default it behavs as it
1680: used to do before this feature was added.
1681:
1682: Daniel (August 8, 1999)
1683: - Applied Jose Kahan <Jose.Kahan@inrialpes.fr>'s patches:
1684:
1685: The alternate content parsing was broken in that you couldn't give a list
1686: of preferences. Also, if you first parse an alternate with a low priority,
1687: then another one with a higher priority, the memory and, eventually, files
1688: created to store the former alternate content weren't erased.
1689:
1690: I found a minor bug. When decoding messages with multiple MIME
1691: attachments, the decode variable (where the content encoding format is
1692: stored), isn't updated.
1693:
1694: Daniel (August 6, 1999)
1695: - Fixed the subject overflow
1696:
1697: - Made attachments get saved in their own subdirectories.
1698:
1.2 kahan 1699: 2a23
1700: ====
1701: Daniel
1702: - I'm making a release out of this now since I'm off for a longish
1703: vacation next week...
1704:
1.1 kahan 1705: Paul
1706:
1707: - Applied Tom van Alten's patch to correct improper formatting
1708: of messages when hm_showhtml = 0 and showheaders = 1.
1709:
1710: - New code to (optionally) accept messages wth no msgid. Default
1711: is to require msgids in all messages - use hm_require_msgids = 0
1712: to avoid this check.
1713:
1714: - Made handling of duplicate msgids optional. By default duplicates
1715: are discarded. To accept them (replacing the msgid with a generated
1716: msgid) use hm_discard_dup_msgids = 0.
1717:
1718: - Check return value from addhash when reading old messages. Messages
1719: already archived should be valid but safer to check.
1720:
1721: 2a22
1722: ====
1723: Daniel
1724: - Applied a boundary parsing bug correcting patch supplied by
1725: Andreas Fuchs <asf@ycom.at>
1726:
1727: Paul Haldane
1728: o (May 16th 1999)
1729: 1) changes to the way we construct threadlist (so that all the messages
1730: that should be in the thread are included even if they don't have valid
1731: in-reply-to headers)
1732:
1733: 2) changes to threadprint.c - simplification of print_all_threads. Now
1734: uses the information in threadlist to find the relationship between
1735: messages. This speeds things up a bit when adding single messages to
1736: large archives (I saw a reduction from 28s to 18s for adding a message to
1737: a 1,100 message archive). Slight speed-up when converting large archives
1738: - not as noticeable as a large part of time now seems to be in fopen().
1739:
1740: I've updated/added some comments.
1741:
1742: I've added msgnum to the reply struct - this is just a copy of msgnum in
1743: ->data->msgnum - this was intended as an optimisation but I suspect it
1744: doesn't make much difference.
1745:
1746: Threading is now much better (well, I would say that wouldn't I :->). it
1747: still gets things wrong occasionally - often not really its fault. Known
1748: problems include
1749:
1750: 1) duplicate message-ids - results in messages being attached to the wrong
1751: thread - actually found an instance of this in my test mailbox. The
1752: obvious heuristic to avoid this would be to compare the subject as well,
1753: though this breaks threads where the sender has deliberately changed the
1754: subject but intends to continue the thread.
1755:
1756: 2) occasionally gets messages in the wrong order because they get attached
1757: to different sub-threads - wouldn't happen if MUAs used in-reply-to.
1758:
1759: I've done a quick tweak to duplicate msgid handling in addhash. Now
1760: replaces duplicate msgids with a locally constructed one. This keeps
1761: things happier.
1762:
1763:
1764: 2a21
1765: ====
1766: Daniel
1767: o (May 12th)
1768: - Added the tests/stdintest.pl script. It is a small perl hack that passes
1769: a series of generated mails into hypermail on stdin. One by one. I've
1770: got reports about bugs in that area, but I can't seem to repeat any
1771: with this tool. I thought I'd better include this here anyway to better
1772: enable others to run more torture tests on hypermail.
1773:
1774: Paul Haldane
1775:
1776: o (May 6th)
1777: - Here's a patch that allows the user to decide on the format used to
1778: present dates on the generated pages. If dateformat is set then it uses
1779: that (that's the new functionality) otherwise it uses the standard
1780: format or euro format depending on the config file.
1781:
1782: I've not given the option to use the date string as originally given in
1783: the mail message. This could be done without too much hassle.
1784:
1785: Daniel
1786:
1787: o (May 5th)
1788: - Corrected a crash in parse.c
1789:
1790: - Added a missing "From:" in print.c
1791:
1792: - Made the bin-names get prefixed with "att-" too.
1793:
1794: - Adjusted getname() to skip all starting white spaces and quotes, and
1795: to skip trailing quotes as well as white spaces.
1796:
1797: o (May 4th)
1798: - Attachment names could miss the first letter.
1799:
1800: 2a20
1801: ====
1802: Daniel
1803:
1804: o (May 3 1999)
1805: - Implementing my new From:-parser into the new source file: getname.c.
1806: This should hopefully not only be much better at parsing from lines,
1807: but also to it in a more stable manner.
1808:
1809: - Found some additional problems with From-lines I've tried to correct.
1810: Like a single-mail archive or mails with no From:-lines at all.
1811:
1812: Ron Brogden <rb@islandnet.com>
1813:
1814: o A small correction to hypermail.c lets it compile properly on sunos 4.
1815:
1816: 2a19
1817: ====
1818:
1819: Daniel
1820:
1821: o Now I prefix filenames with "att-" when I save attachments.
1822:
1823: o Several errors correct, most of them by Paul Haldane.
1824:
1825: 2a18
1826: ====
1827:
1828: Daniel
1829:
1830: o (Apr 7 1999)
1831: - Added 'locktime' as a configurable item. It defines the maximum number
1832: of seconds to wait for an existing lock to dissapear before it is
1833: overridden. If this is 0 or less, the lockfile will lose its power
1834: completely. locktime is 3600 by default.
1835:
1836: - I made the 'indextable' option work as Glen Steward wanted it to (that
1837: March 30 patch apply wasn't such a big hit). You can either set
1838: "indextable = on" in the config file or use the -T command line option
1839: to get the indexes in "table" version.
1840:
1841: Paul Haldane
1842:
1843: o (Apr 7 1999)
1844: - Major date-parsing re-arrangement. getdate.c added, lots of functions
1845: patched. Speed improvements.
1846:
1847: 2a17
1848: ====
1849:
1850: Daniel
1851:
1852: o (Mar 30, 1999)
1853: - First atttempt at applying Glen Steward's table patches. It wasn't
1854: a complete success but it can be adjusted from here.
1855:
1856: o (Mar 29, 1999)
1857: - Ashley M. Kirchner found a silly bug that occured if the last mail
1858: in the box was a double message-id (or similar that makes that
1859: particular function return NULL).
1860:
1861: o (Mar 25, 1999)
1862: - Threaded index seems to work yet again!
1863: - Paul Haldane <Paul.Haldane@newcastle.ac.uk> brought me lots of
1864: various patches that made hypermail do better!
1865:
1866: o (Mar 25, 1999)
1867: - Corrected the problem with "re: subject" and "subject" being sorted
1868: differently. The explanation was that the "re:" subject had a space
1869: left in the beginning of the string!
1870:
1871: o (Mar 25, 1999)
1872: My giant work of redoing things now finally seems to work a little at
1873: least. What's been done the last week:
1874: - All emails now get only ONE single struct allocated for it.
1875: - Remade the hash stuff. Hashed entries in the table only stores a struct,
1876: links it in the list and POINTS to the email struct.
1877: - Added a hash on the 'inreplyto' string to better enable finding mails
1878: a mail replies to.
1879: - Rewrote the whole darned threaded index functions. threadprint.c is a
1880: new source file for threaded index functions.
1881: - All indexes will now have full access to the complete email struct and
1882: will thus enable dates all over etc. This will enable me to introduce
1883: a template feature for how to write an entry in an index. I.e what to
1884: include for each entry, subject, author, date, charset, bla bla bla...
1885: - Changed the way single mail's "next in thread" links are found.
1886: - As a "side-effect" I added a filter to prevent the same message ID
1887: twice. The reason for this is that it is more likely for it to be able
1888: to screw up the threading if I allow them to co-exist.
1889:
1890: o Ashley M. Kirchner <ashley@pcraft.com> works on the bug report web.
1891:
1892: o (Mar 15, 1999)
1893: Roman Shterenzon <roman@xpert.com> pointed out a bug in the HTML-reader
1894: that made hypermail crash if the variables were set to "". I mailed back
1895: a patch to him I think will correct this problem.

1899: Daniel
1900:
1901: o (Mar 14, 1999)
1902: "text_types" is now a recognized config file item, where you can specify
1903: MIME types that should be treated by hypermail _exactly_ as if they were
1904: text/plain.
1905:
1906: o Corrected the list-check routine, so that the items in the list are the
1907: ones using wildcards. This means that suddenly, all those mime-list items
1908: support wildcards!
1909:
1910: o (Mar 13, 1999)
1911: Craig A Summerhill <craig@cni.org> found a bug. It turned out to be the
1912: fact that parse.c wronly assumed content-type text/plain to use
1913: ENCODE_NORMAL. It was really silly, since the Content-Transfer-Encoding
1914: header could've already appeared and stated another encoding!
1915:
1916: o Adjusted configure.in to do a slightly better -libnsl check.
1917:
1918: o (Mar 11, 1999)
1919: CVS server is up again. Added the UPGRADE file to the tree. Thanks to
1920: Glen Stewart.
1921:
1922: o (Mar 10, 1999)
1923: Pretty extensive re-write of parse.c to deal with the
1924: "Content-Disposition" headers better. That line can give a hint whether
1925: the file should be stored as a file or showed inlined. It can also
1926: have the filename (RFC1806 for details).
1927:
1928: o (Mar 10, 1999)
1929: The CVS server is down due to admin work there.
1930:
1931: o (Mar 10, 1999)
1932: Fixed parseurl(). It now deals with <www.foobar.com> and similar
1933: constructions better. Craig A Summerhill <craig@cni.org> reported.
1934:
1935: o (Mar 8, 1999)
1936: Corrected src/Makefile.in to not use options.h anymore!
1937: Roman Shterenzon <roman@xpert.com> made me aware of this.
1938:
1939: 2a15
1940: ====
1941: Daniel
1942:
1943: o (Mar 5, 1999) Made "text" equal text/plain in content-type: header
1944: lines.
1945:
1946: o Removed options.h completely to reduce the number of mistakes from
1947: people trying to edit it!
1948:
1949: o (Mar 4, 1999) Applied Glen Stewart's patch to remove a few <li> tags.
1950:
1951: o Bailey, Raymond <bailey9@MARSHALL.EDU> pointed out a problem in the
1952: getname() function. When you got a mail with a From: line where there
1953: is a name within quotes that were "attached" to the email part without
1954: spaces in between as in "name"<email@email.com> the parser failed to
1955: get a name part of this and caused hypermail to dump core.
1956:
1957: o Alisdair Davey <ard@mithra.physics.montana.edu> Helped me point out
1958: a bug in mprintf.c. It made the *printf() routines fail on %.*s
1959: constructions. I am considering an upgrade of the mprintf stuff to
1960: my newer "trio" stuff...
1961:
1962: o Made %f insert the file name of the generated HTML file in headers
1963: and footers.
1964:
1965: 2a14 Pl 2
1966: =========
1967: Daniel
1968:
1969: o Removed a bug that occured when converting a mail into html that had
1970: a "in-relpy-to" header but the replied-to mail was not present in the
1971: mailbox.
1972:
1973: 2a14 Pl 1
1974: =========
1975: Daniel (now CVS'ed at cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail)
1976:
1977: o Made it de-mime headers even without the mime-version: header present
1978:
1979:
1980: 2alpha14
1981: ========
1982: Daniel
1983:
1984: o It should now accept white space in the beginning of config file
1985: lines.
1986:
1987: o SetupCleanup() bugs somehow, I'm no longer using it == dirty fix.
1988:
1989: o Updated the "name/email" scanner.
1990:
1991: o Total mail counter was wrong when updating.
1992:
1993: o Renamed to alpha to avoid confusion.
1994:
1995: 2b13
1996: ====
1997: Daniel
1998:
1999: o Two corrections in the mprintf.c. One of them being serious
2000:
2001: o (parse.c) now the QP decoder accepts question marks in the encoded-words
2002:
2003: o Corrected the mprintf() replacement define in mprintf.h
2004:
2005: o Added some more missing free()s in print.c
2006:
2007: 2b12
2008: ====
2009:
2010: Daniel
2011:
2012: o Now strips trailing white spaces from values in the config file if
2013: written without quotes. Paradise Cowgirl <minerva@phix.com> reported.
2014:
2015: o List types in the config were insanely written and caused memory
2016: disaster at times. Byron C. Darrah <bdarr@sse.FU.HAC.COM> and
2017: Jenni Baier <jenni@renewed.net> both probably experienced this.
2018:
2019: o Decreased the amount of memory allocations used when building hash
2020: tables for index sorting. (see addhash() in struct.c)
2021:
2022: 2b11
2023: ====
2024:
2025: Daniel
2026:
2027: o Tom von Alten <alien@hpdmlad.boi.hp.com> pointed out a really nasty bug
2028: in fixreplyheader() I had introduced! :-(
2029:
2030: 2.0b10
2031: ======
2032:
2033: Daniel
2034:
2035: o %c is recognized and replaced with a charset tag in mail headers. It
2036: should be set as early as possible within the HEAD tag.
2037:
2038: o Saves <!-- charset=blablabla --> in articles.
2039:
2040: o dprintf() was not a successful name, Linux uses it for some odd purpose
2041: even in stdio.h! :-/ Renamed my line of functions to m*.
2042:
2043: o Adjusted getname() to be slightly smarter.
2044:
2045: o Started working at adding charset to each single mail. It should be stored
2046: per-mail basis now, even though it is never used anywhere... It should
2047: now make a proper META HTTP-EQUIV tag!
2048:
2049: 2.0b9
2050: =====
2051:
2052: Daniel
2053:
2054: o Added a new -o option that can set any config options on the command line.
2055: E.g set label with -o "label=my new label".
2056:
2057: o Major rewrites of struct.c. There were just too many functions that
2058: passed data between them by strcpy()ing them to char buffers. They now
2059: pass char pointers in a lot higher degree. In fact, there aren't that
2060: many strcpy()s left in the source now. Not that I notice any faster
2061: operations, I just know it is neater code.
2062:
2063: o I really don't like the way proto.h has *ALL* prototypes and therefore
2064: everything is dependent on that file. I've stared to slowly extract the
2065: protos for each .c file into its own .h file. This will allow me to
2066: change prototype for a single function without having to recompile the
2067: whole lot.
2068:
2069: o Added general "Re:" - awareness functions. isre() returns TRUE if the
2070: input string starts with a re-thing and findre() returns the position
2071: of the first instance of re in the input string, or NULL if there is
2072: none.
2073:
2074: It knows and recognizes "Re:", "Fw:" and "Re[<number>]:" strings. If we
2075: ever intend to support local variations of this, I've now made that
2076: easier...
2077:
2078: o The new getname() had problems with parens in the real name part when
2079: quoted. As in
2080: From: "Windle, Alan M. (PA62)" <test@site.com>
2081: It shouldn't be a problem now. It should also work with from-lines like:
2082: From: ("Windle, Alan M. (PA62)") test@site.com
2083:
2084: There might be an idea to simply ignore everything within that level of
2085: parentheses. I mean, not add that text to the name.
2086:
2087: o The sorted datelist was broken because I must've destroyed unre() when I
2088: turned it dynamic. I improved printsubjects() to deal with pointers and
2089: it now strcpy()s a lot less data.
2090:
2091: Did the same change to the printauthors() too.
2092:
2093: o increment and readone are now separate options. Read stdin or use mailbox
2094: are mutually exclusive but don't modify increment or readone. The
2095: previous system was very confusing and didn't allow e.g updating an
2096: archive with two mails passed on stdin!
2097:
2098: I've now tried to update an existing archive with 3 mails passed on stdin
2099: and it seemed to work. Works if read from a mailbox too. Even works with
2100: the new -1 flag (to indicate there's one mail only). It has an
2101: accompanying config file keyword named 'readone'. I think the new -v flag
2102: is really great for this, cause it shows all built-in variables and kind
2103: of automatically documents them!
2104:
2105: o Ok, I wasn't aware the config file did assume quotes around the strings.
2106: I've added support for that (too) now. Distributed this small change
2107: to Kent, Tom and John as a patch for 2b8.
2108:
2109: 2.0b8
2110: =====
2111:
2112: Daniel
2113:
2114: (Nov 24, 1998)
2115: o So, just before I was gonna announce the b7 to the guys I got another
2116: report from John Petrakis that pointed out two bugs. One bad free() which
2117: he identified and one From:-line that b7 couldn't get name and email from
2118: properly. I got really tired and rewrote the whole getname() function to
2119: work with all the combinations mentioned in the source, and more. I think
2120: this function also has another benefit: it is easier to read than the old
2121: one.
2122:
2123: o I found some other bugs with my new setup system which caused the
2124: hm_htmlbody = NONE to not work. I am actually against that a line that
2125: says NONE sets it to the default. NONE should be NONE, if the keyword
2126: isn't used at all it should use the default. Well well, one thing at a
2127: time I guess.
2128:
2129:
2130: 2.0b7
2131: =====
2132:
2133: Daniel (getting deeper and deeper into this now ;-)
2134:
2135: o Entirely new config file parser. Does make adding new config items a
2136: lot easier and smoother. Run hypermail -v to make it output a fully
2137: working config file (after reading the given input parameters).
2138:
2139: There is no need for the "hm_" prefix on keywords in the config file. You
2140: can still use it if you want, but you don't have to.
2141:
2142: Internally, all configurable variables are now named 'set_XXXXX' to better
2143: make it visible in the code.
2144:
2145: o readoldheaders() is a lot more robust now. The order of the variables are
2146: not set and empty files no longer cause it to dump core.
2147:
2148: o Hypermail from now on only stores the variables inside HTML files that
2149: are actually set. name="" is not needed to store.
2150:
2151: 2.0b6
2152: =====
2153:
2154: Daniel continues:
2155:
2156: o parseemail() and ConvURLs() needed to deal with NULLs better.
2157:
2158: o loadoldheaders() are no longer dependent on the order of the variables
2159: in previously written HTML files.
2160:
2161: o Mails with no subject confused the parser.c
2162:
2163: o Tom von Alten <Tom_vonAlten@boi.hp.com> sent me two files he appearantly
2164: got from Kent after the b4 he sent me. (date.c and msg2archive.c)
2165:
2166: o All kinds of lists like hm_show_headers, hm_inline_types and
2167: hm_ignore_types now offer the below mentioned wildcards.
2168:
2169: o Added dmatch.c for dos-style * and ? wildcard matching.
2170:
2171: o Cleaning up more memory leaks.
2172:
2173: 2.0b5 as sent to John Petrakis 19 Nov 1998
2174: ==========================================
2175:
2176: Daniel:
2177:
2178: o Added 'maketgz' to the archive. It is for creating release archives,
2179: without having to remove a lot of files first.
2180: * first asks for the version number of choice
2181: * uses the file FILES to know what files to include.
2182: * updates the patchlevel.h file to the entered version number
2183: * creates the archive with a directory based on the entered version number
2184: * names the archive based on the entered version number
2185:
2186: o Added a whole bunch of more free() calls.
2187:
2188: o Inlined HTML that was base64 or uuencoded were not previously dealt with
2189: properly.
2190:
2191: o Mails with no Message-Id: caused a crash in the hash function.
2192:
2193: o HM_INLINEHTML can now be set to 0 to prevent hypermail from inlining
2194: mail parts in HTML.
2195:
2196: 2.0b4 as sent to Tom von Alten Nov 19, 1998.
2197: ============================================
2198:
2199: Daniel:
2200:
2201: o Dynamic strings all over. I added a generic dynamic-string system which
2202: I think works pretty good. Using functions and macros it should also be
2203: pretty easy to extend, modify and optimize without any other source
2204: modifications.
2205:
2206: I had to modify stuff all over the place and pretty much too. I hope I've
2207: removed at least the worst uses of static buffers and my initial tests
2208: prove me right. No lenght limits of any fields of a mail is my goal, and
2209: I think it is a fair goal.
2210:
2211: Beware of leaking memory now though. We need to setup some debug-system
2212: to track them easily.
2213:
2214: The dynamic string routines could very well be optimized too.
2215:
2216: o My dsprintf system was added. This system offers snprintf() - sprintf with
2217: a buffer length parameter and aprintf() - returns an allocated string with
2218: the text. I did this to better deal with fully dynamic buffers.
2219:
2220: o Corrected the swedish texts. All 8bit letters were gone!
2221:
2222: o (Nov 16) I recevied the 981013-b4 version. Started work.
2223:
2224: 2.0b4
2225: ====================
2226:
2227: Kent:
2228:
2229: o Date routine corrections.
2230:
2231: - Y2K capable. Hypermail used a two digit representation
2232: for the year through out. It now uses a 4 digit representation.
2233:
2234: - In hypermail.h, October was listed in monthdays as only having
2235: 30 days.
2236:
2237: - hypermail did not deal with all the major date string formats.
2238: Date: formats starting with a digit (09 Sep 1998 01:27:30 +0300)
2239: would cause parsing and threading problems. It now supports
2240: that format.
2241:
2242: - Added code to deal correctly with two digit years.
2243: The idea as to how to approach this and the basis for
2244: the solution is thanks to Byron Darrah.
2245:
2246: - Corrected an off by one day error in getyearsecs(). It was
2247: adding the current day && adding the hours, minutes, and seconds
2248: for that day as well. It only needed to count all the days UP TO
2249: the current day and then add the hours, minutes, and seconds for
2250: the current day.
2251:
2252: - Incorrect data type passed to fprint_summary(), needed to be
2253: long instead of int.
2254:
2255: - Corrected an off by one day in getdatestr(). Days in a month
2256: start at 1, not 0.
2257:
2258:
2259: o Add the ability to save hypermail generated html files with any
2260: configurable html suffix such as ".htm", ".html" or ".shtml", etc.
2261: This works for the index files as well as the message files. (New
2262: .hmrc variable, hm_htmlsuffix, new environment variable HM_HTMLSUFFIX,
2263: and HTMLSUFFIX define in options.h.)
2264:
2265: o Removed a conditional "if (use_mbox) increment = 0;" that was
2266: preventing the ability to read one message from a file and update
2267: an existing archive and its indexes.
2268:
2269: o Corrected parseurl to allow for a ',' (comma) character to be embedded
2270: in the URL.
2271:
2272: o Corrected parseurl to allow for a '&' (ampersand) character to be embedded
2273: in the URL.
2274:
2275: o Using -p with -iu on a new archive directory caused a core dump
2276: begause 'bignum' was zero. Corrected to assure bignum > 0.
2277:
2278: o Added language abilities to hypermail.
2279: English - en
2280: Spanish - es
2281: German - de
2282: Swedish - se
2283: initially supported. (lang.c and lang.h added.)
2284:
2285: Thanks to Francisco Iacobelli <fiacobelli@ibersis.cl> for the
2286: "es" message table translation.
2287:
2288: Thanks to Martin Schulze <joey@kuolema.Infodrom.North.DE> for the
2289: "de" message table translation.
2290:
2291: Thanks to Daniel Stenberg <Daniel.Stenberg@sth.frontec.se> for the
2292: "se" message table translation.
2293:
2294: o Changed how error messages are displayed so options message
2295: only displayed where appropriate instead of for every message.
2296:
2297: o Corrected getname() to parse yet another funky name format.
2298:
2299: o Corrected printing error when a invalid domain was encountered in
2300: an email address.
2301:
2302: o Converted some static internal buffers to dynamically allocated ones
2303: at startup saving 6+K. Also resulted in setstrval() not being needed
2304: so it was removed.
2305:
2306: o Corrected MIME parsing problem with previously parsed headers.
2307:
2308: o Corrected default labeling problem with stdin generated archives
2309: when no label is supplied.
2310:
2311: o Fixed hypermail so it would not crash if started with no arguments
2312: and an article on stdin.
2313:
2314: o Added locking to the archive so that there is less chance of corruption
2315: of the archive due to multiple copies of hypermail trying to update
2316: the same archive at the same time with multiple messages. This could
2317: be improved so as to check for pid of process that owns it...
2318:
2319: o Extended the configure support.
2320:
2321: o Extended the use of hm_progress so that more information about
2322: attachment files can be displayed.
2323:
2324: o Updated documentation to reflect changes
2325:
2326: o Corrected getname to deal with names that are all spaces.
2327:
2328: o Corrected configuration variable setting. Moved checks to the
2329: right place in the code.
2330:
2331: o Hypermail now supports listproc mailboxes as well as general Unix
2332: formated mailboxes. It does not require that a blank line exists
2333: between mail messsages in a mailbox. Thanks to Craig A Summerhill
2334: <craig@cni.org> for the push and the test data.
2335:
2336: 2.0b3 - 8/15/98
2337: =================
2338:
2339: o Added validation of domains so that the generation of mailto: is
2340: much more accurate than the previous method.
2341:
2342: o Added support for Content-Disposition MIME Header so as to get the
2343: filename from the header.
2344:
2345: o Added verification of filenames to assure they are safe to use and
2346: will not cause filesystem problems
2347:
2348: o Fixed a problem with parsing the ending MIME boundary (it expended headers
2349: following that)
2350:
2351: o Found and removed a one-byte buffer overflow in the line continuation code.
2352:
2353: o Corrected docs/hypermail.1 and TODO to reflect the proper RFC 822
2354: parsing was actually included in version 2.0b1
2355:
2356: o Corrected a typo in string.c that prevented the proper generation
2357: of mailto: links for email names with numbers [0-9] in them.
2358:
2359: o Corrected the base64 decoder error which caused files to get an
2360: extra zero-byte appended at times. (When storing attachments to disk.)
2361:
2362: o Added additional ported systems to the README
2363:
2364: o Removed the "#ifndef" from the defines in options.h. We do not want to
2365: inherit any define values from other places. If there are confilcts
2366: then I need to correct them. Inheriting defines can lead to unforeseen
2367: results.
2368:
2369: o attachments:
2370: - comments are now generated in the output mail for each attachment
2371: that is written in a separate file. The comment looks like:
2372: '<!-- attachment="filename" -->' in the standard comment style.
2373:
2374: o buffers and overflows
2375: - mdecodeRFC2047() now has an output buffer size argument
2376: - had to remove the use of rmcr() at two places, since that function uses
2377: a very strict static buffer limiting the maximum line length pretty bad.
2378: - parseurl() now features an output buffer size argument
2379: - parseemail() now features an output buffer size argument
2380:
2381: o multipart/alternative
2382: - added awareness and parser "intelligence" to pick the last prefered
2383: content-type within a series of alternatives (as MIME tells us to
2384: do). This has not yet been very thoroughly tested.
2385: - added the preferedcontent() function that returns wether a content-type
2386: is prefered or not (as set with hm_prefered_types). Default prefered
2387: type is 'text/plain' (if hm_prefered_types is unused).
2388:
2389: o output
2390: - added the experiment function printhtml(). It strips off unwanted html
2391: tags from the output, even if they are used in attached HTML files. I.e
2392: <HTML> and </HTML>.
2393: - made 'showheaders' not use <BR> or newlines since the BRs are ignored
2394: anyway, and the newlines are already present in each header line.
2395: - added 'hm_show_headers' which is a list of what headers to include when
2396: the 'showheaders' option is used. For now, it also controls which
2397: headers to show when attached mails are shown. Although I can imagine
2398: that you'd like separate lists (since for attached mails, you'd like i.e
2399: subject which you may not need for the main mail itself). If
2400: 'hm_show_headers' isn't used, all headers will be shown.
2401: - made the <PRE> system in the printbody() function a little smarter, and
2402: now it prevents multiple </PRE> and <P> tags better. It did however
2403: introduce another side effect (although a less serious one imho) and
2404: that is an extra pair of <PRE></PRE> after the last attachment when
2405: using 'showhtml'.
2406:
2407: o parsing
2408: - made the multi-line merger function to make all lines get a regular
2409: white space between them when they're put together. Previously, this
2410: character was left as-is, which could be a space or a tab (or any other
2411: isspace()) letter.
2412: - check changed to check for "<!-- received" as the start of parsing
2413: previous html files in the event that the archive maintainer whishes
2414: to add comments in the header template HTML files.
2415: - in_list() now checks for list items case insensitive
2416: - corrected so Message-ID:, References and Supersedes: lines are not
2417: converted into mailto: URLs.
2418: - corrected off-by-one in isquote that was causing array boundary read
2419: errors.
2420: - corrected off-by-one in printbody line output that was causing array
2421: boundary read errors.
2422:
2423: Real thanks are in order for Daniel Stenberg and David D. Kilzer. They helped
2424: greatly with making this release possible by sending in enhancements, comments
2425: and bug fixes. Thanks Guys!
2426:
2427: 2.0b2 - 6/07/98
2428: =================
2429:
2430: o Corrected command line processing for individual messages received
2431: on standard input.
2432:
2433: o Corrected formating of Next message links when incremental updating
2434: is done.
2435:
2436: o Corrected the template filenames in docs/hmrc.html. Added "file"
2437: to them.
2438:
2439: o Added additional systems to the list of ported systems.
2440:
2441: o Reset certain options back to the proper defaults.
2442:
2443: o Corrected problem in printbody in regards to printing HTML embedded
2444: in a message. Still work to do here.
2445:
2446: o Changed address options to assure I didn't get landfield.com
2447: information inadvertantly set in hundreds of archives because
2448: the admins just took the defaults. ;)
2449:
2450: 2.0b1 6/05/98 - Kent Landfield
2451: ===============================
2452:
2453: WARNING: There have been too many changes to this version to list them
2454: all here. What appears below are some of the highlights.
2455:
2456: o Command line settings override what is in the config file. In the
2457: past the command line variables were read and set before the config
2458: file was read. (Needed to get the name of the config file from the
2459: command line.) This made it hard to have a default list configuration
2460: file and make single runs with only one variable changed. Now processing
2461: sets the hypermail internal options by:
2462:
2463: Using Compiled in defaults specified in options.h,
2464: then reads Hypermail Environment variables if set,
2465: then looks for and reads any Configuration file specified
2466: and finally uses the Command line settings specified by the user.
2467:
2468: NOTE: THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN PAST HYPERMAIL USAGE.
2469:
2470: o Configurable Setting (.hmrc file) or Compile Time Variable to
2471: Domain-ize Addresses -- addresses appearing in the RFC822 field
2472: which lack hostname can't be made into proper HREFs when Hypermail
2473: does it's thing. They are coded with: mailto:(no%20email)
2474:
2475: Because the MTA resides on the same host as the list, it is
2476: often not require to domain-ize these addresses for delivery.
2477: In such cases, I think it would nice if Hypermail could be
2478: programmed to output: mailto:kent@landfield.com instead.
2479: This would probably work well as a *required* definition
2480: during compilation; however, it should not simply rely on
2481: the output from `hostname` in case you want to override with
2482: an MX entry or alternate domain (if you run virtual domains)
2483:
2484: o Added capability to have customizable index html headers, message
2485: html headers and html footers. Able to use substitution cookies in
2486: the header and footer template files.
2487:
2488: Substitution cookies supported:
2489:
2490: %% - '%' character
2491: %~ - storage directory
2492: %e - email addr of message author - Not valid on index pages
2493: %h - HMURL
2494: %i - Message-id - Not valid on index pages
2495: %l - archive label
2496: %m - Mailto address
2497: %p - PROGNAME
2498: %s - Subject of message or Index Title
2499: %v - VERSION
2500: %u - Expanded version link (HMURL,PROGNAME,VERSION)
2501: \n - newline character
2502: \t - tab character
2503:
2504: Additional cookies generate the complete META lines:
2505:
2506: %A - Author META HTML - Not valid on index pages
2507: <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="name (email)">
2508: %B - <BODY> html statement
2509: %S - Subject META TAG - Not valid on index pages
2510: <META NAME="Subject" CONTENT="subject">
2511:
2512: o Generates META tags in articles Author and Subject.
2513:
2514: o Now uses "configure" to generate the makefiles. This is rather
2515: weak at present and needs to be added to/tested on other systems
2516: but at least it's a start.
2517:
2518: o The config.h was renamed to options.h to support configure usage.
2519:
2520: o patchlevel.h added to facilitate better patches in the future. Still
2521: need to fully integrate it's useage in version displays.
2522:
2523: o Added example .rc files to show how to customize list's and their
2524: looks.
2525:
2526: o Removed the _print.c files that had existed in the 103b2 release and
2527: replaced them with template headers/footer files.
2528:
2529: o Extended archive path creation to make missing directories.
2530:
2531: o Added capabilities dir pathing to allow archive creation by date
2532: variables.
2533:
2534: %d - two digit day of month (1-28/30/31)
2535: %D - three letter day of the week
2536: %m - two digit month of year (1-12)
2537: %M - three letter month of year (Jan, Feb, ..., Dec)
2538: %y - four digit year (1990,..2001)
2539:
2540: RC example: hm_dir = /some/archive/listname/%y/%M
2541: ENV example: HM_DIR=/some/archive/listname/%y/%M
2542: Command line example: -d /some/archive/listname/%y/%M
2543:
2544: Expands to: /some/archive/listname/1998/May
2545:
2546: All files would be archived during that run in that directory.
2547: Subsequent executions will put the messages in the directories
2548: according to the date the messages were received on the archive
2549: site.
2550:
2551: o All "mailto:" links can include the "subject" so that the Subject:
2552: line of netscape mailer is automatically filled in.
2553:
2554: o Fixed "Re:" and redundant "Re:" variation && MS FW...
2555:
2556: o Greatly enhanced getname() to correctly deal with most all email
2557: addresses. X.400 addresses are not well supported yet.
2558:
2559: o Corrected getreply() to better support the In-Reply-To: formats. The
2560: routine needs to revisited when a readline routine is inserted to
2561: properly deal with continuation lines.
2562:
2563: o Added additional documentation describing the Hypermail configuration
2564: file.
2565:
2566: o Added additional documentation describing how to customize HTML
2567: generated pages.
2568:
2569: o Corrected many petty problems such as:
2570: - recursive '%' substitution. A % in a subject line could cause
2571: an ugly recursion problem in a mail command expansion.
2572: - title length problem. Length of a title needs to be limited to
2573: less than 64 characters as indicated by HTML specs.
2574: - Weblinted the generated output and corrected various things.
2575: - Removed unused and unneeded variables
2576:
2577: o Change various storage length defines in hypermail.h
2578:

2591:
2592: Patches Contributed By: Byron Darrah <bdarr@sed.hac.com>
2593: ----------------------------------------------------------
2594:
2595: o Added a menu bar for a header and footer on all pages and removed
2596: the bulleted list items that it replaces.
2597:
2598: o Reworked the general appearance of header and footer parts of html pages.
2599:
2600: o Added the "hm_hmail" configuration parameter and -n command line
2601: option for specifying an email address for input to a hypermail
2602: archive.
2603:
2604: o Added "New Message" and "Reply" buttons to the menu bar for submitting
2605: messages to a hypermail based list.
2606:
2607: Patches Contributed From: Jared Reisinger <feety@hhhh.org>
2608: ---------------------------------------------------------
2609:
2610: o Fixed configfile substring problem.
2611:
2612: o SHOWBR, IQUOTES, SHOWHR, EURODATE, SHOWREPLIES, and MAILCOMMAND
2613: now run-time configurable.
2614:
2615: o Fixed post leap-day error.
2616:
2617: o More robust Message-ID parsing.
2618:
2619: o Better SHOWHTML handling for indented lines.
2620:
2621: o Allow IQUOTES when not using SHOWHTML.
2622:
2623: Patches Contributed From: Daniel Stenberg <Daniel.Stenberg@sth.frontec.se>
2624: --------------------------------------------------------------------------
2625:
2626: o I had all calls to the decodeRFC2047() function moved to *after* the
2627: merging of long lines.
2628:
2629: o decodeRFC2047() now correctly concatenates two succeeding "encoded words".
2630: I now call the function mdecodeRfc2047() since it now allocates the new
2631: string.
2632:
2633: o Now informs if the attachment wasn't properly decoded when stored to disk.
2634: This happens if the Content-Transfer-Encoding specified isn't known to
2635: the parser. When this happens, the attachment is stored as 8bit octet-
2636: stream.
2637:
2638: o Now supports the encoding type 'x-uue' for uudecoding. I think there are
2639: mailers that use different names for the same encoding type so we better
2640: watch out for them in the future...
2641:
2642: o Added the 'demimed' field to the body struct to keep track of
2643: header lines+ that have been RFC2047 converted already.
2644:
2645: o Kent Landfield sent me an interesting mail that showed me several weird
2646: bugs in the MIME area.
2647: A. The Quoted-Printable decoder bugged. A quick fix solved that.
2648: B. The quoted printable decoder didn't support unlimited size of the line
2649: the encoded text decodes into. I wrote a new function that seems to do
2650: it properly.
2651: C. Some important headers were not properly supported if they were split
2652: up on several lines. I had to rewrite the header parsing system to make
2653: this work. It now scans all headers and concatenate them into single
2654: lines before any function is trying to parse or decode them.
2655: D. It also showed a need for a uudecoder for the 'x-uue' encode type. This
2656: is only noted for the future as I haven't written any decoder for this
2657: format [yet].
2658:
2659: o decodeRFC2047 replaces the former RFC1522 function. I made it support
2660: 'encoded-words' anywhere in the line and several different ones on the
2661: same line is now supported. The only flaw I'm still aware of now, is that
2662: if there are two encoded-words next to each other, the result should not
2663: show the spaces between them. My function unfortunately still does.
2664:
2665: o renamed decodeRFC1522 to decodeRFC2045.
2666:
2667: o decodeRFC1522 (quoted printable header decoding) didn't do well if the
2668: ending ?= sequence was in the middle of the line. I think this function
2669: will need more extensive testing.
2670:
2671: o Attached mails' headers (To:, From:, Date: and Subject:) are now shown
2672: in the html.
2673:
2674: o Attached mails that contains attachments did force me to add a stack system
2675: for the multipart boundary strings. Seems to work now. (Can't wait to see
2676: an attached mail that contains an attached mail that contains ... )
2677:
2678: o strcpymax() introduced to prevent buffer overflows on extra-long headers
2679:
2680: o Lines starting with 'from ' messed up the parser pretty badly. It now
2681: checks for 'From ' lines (case sensitive) with an empty preceding line
2682: to split mails.
2683:
2684: o Now extracts attachments to separate binary files.
2685:
2686: o Supports multiple lined headers.
2687:
2688: o Supports quoted-printable and base64 encoded headers.
2689:
2690: o Supports base64 encoded text/plain
2691:
2692: o Rewrote the URL and email parsing to allow multiple URLs and email
2693: addresses on each line.
2694:
2695: o Extended the original functionality to much better deal with MIMEd
2696: mails and the standards from RFC 1521 and 1522. There are still flaws in
2697: compliance with those but the majority of all mails using mimed texts
2698: will be presented in a fairly decent fashion.
2699:
2700: Patches Contributed From: David D Kilzer <ddkilzer@ti.com>
2701: -----------------------------------------------------------
2702:
2703: o Fixed problem with 'From: ' header lines in messages with the
2704: following format: "From: <email@address.com>" wherein the "name"
2705: from the previous email message would be used instead of reverting
2706: to the address itself.
2707:
2708: o URLs can now include ampersands (&) if they are preceded by question
2709: marks (?) in the URL string.
2710:
2711: o Email messages with no Subject line no longer grab the previous
2712: email's subject.
2713:
2714: o Reworked the order of output so that "message" links are always at
2715: the top of the page in article pages and date/thread/subject/author
2716: pages.
2717:
2718: o Now escape '%' in mail URLs.
2719:
2720: o Escape for '+' was wrong, changed to '%2B' (was '%22').
2721:
2722: o Updated replace() function to recurse on 'afterstring' variable
2723: rather than the whole 'newstring'. More efficient and allows '%'
2724: escaping.
2725:
2726: o config.h: Added configuration option for SHOW_MESSAGE_LINKS which
2727: turns all message headers and footers off (except for the links to
2728: the date, subject, thread and author pages). SHOW_MESSAGE_LINKS
2729: overrides the setting of SHOWREPLIES.
2730:
2731: o print.c (writearticles): Removed use of currentemail, currentid,
2732: and currentsubject by forcing use of email2, msgid2, inreply2,
2733: subject2, and name2 when calling struct.c (hashreplylookup). This
2734: was needed after I rearranged the order in which articles were
2735: printed.
2736:
2737: o string.c (convurls): Added code in two locations for the
2738: Message-Id code segment to recurse on the remaining portion of the
2739: line being processed. Each Message-Id found forces a return from
2740: convurls() after a recursive call. This prevents infinite recursion
2741: (a Bad Thing generally speaking). Note: we assume that Message-Ids
2742: and URLs/email addresses do NOT appear in the same line.
2743:
2744: o string.c (convurls): Changed format string from "%.3d" to "%.4d".
2745: Fixed major bug in outputting links for Message-Ids.
2746:
2747: o string.c (convurls): Fixed assumption in code for identifying
2748: Message-Ids that there was only one Message-Id per line. We now
2749: stop gobbling up text used for a link with a space (' ') or a tab
2750: ('\t').
2751:
2752: o string.c (convurls): Added int got_question_mark in URL processing
2753: code to permit an ampersand ('&') in a URL provided it comes after a
2754: question mark in the same URL (a GET method with POST data). Added
2755: one line of code and changed another to accomplish this.
2756:
2757: o string.c (convurls): Added code to check whether the next item to
2758: URL-ize is an email address (containing an at sign, '@'). If it is,
2759: we break out of the URL for loop and go process the email address.
2760:
2761: o parse.c (loadoldheaders): Modified initial fgets() call to skip any
2762: non-comment lines (i.e. "<html>" and "<head>").
2763:
2764: o string.c (makemailcommand): Added code to escape percent signs
2765: ('%') when escaping spaces (' ') and plus signs ('+'). Percent
2766: signs must be escaped first since other escape sequences use the
2767: percent sign followed by a two-digit hexadecimal number. We're now
2768: a little more MIME-compliant.
2769:
2770: o string.c (replace): Changed the replace() function to recurse only
2771: on the 'afterstring' portion of the URL instead of the whole rebuilt
2772: URL. This is both more efficient and prevents infinite recursion
2773: problems when escaping percent signs ('%') with '%25'.
2774:
2775: o string.c (makemailcommand): Fixed escape sequence for plus signs
2776: ('+') from '%22' to '%2B'.
2777:
2778: LOTS of other small patches from lots of other helpful people. I hope to
2779: be able to more accurately list them in the final 2.0 version.
