rnr:  History of changes

[e-mail] (960409)

2.14 960409

better distinguish between error running a program and the errorlevel
  it returned
added :show version
added environment variable USERNAME to be used to determine user id
  (for NT)
increased stack space from 45k to 46k (otherwise mail to /mod group without
  explicit moderator overflowed)
increased numkills from 160 to 200
if `r'eplying to an article `From:' you, will try to use `To:' instead
added :set/--set indicate-posted-mail-in-body to not just use Comments: header
now warn if any body line is >80 characters
  (for GNKS points!  now I satisfy optional sections too)
interpret color names as well as numbers

2.13 960202

more careful with setting `doserr' variable before calling `mouseinit'
  (though it doesn't seem to help with getting warnings on NT)
if searching, warn if no hits (unless `N' or `Q' used)
removed `Sorting 1 article...' message altogether
indicate when checking headers (it takes a while for long, long articles)
tidy up screen a bit before listing groups+descriptions before {s}end
fixed removal of warning when you hit {f}ollowup in a mail folder
moved `read last page of mail' warning AFTER it's read it in, and
  only show it if there WERE articles (but put a `(1 page)' message up
  before reading)
when a folder got read back 1 page, so did the next one -- fixed
do not allow {s}end if you crossposted to a mail pseudo-group
fixed too-much-quoted flag with deleted `Foo writes:' line and
  had only one line of followup
don't allow sending if there's no body between blank line and
  end-of-file or sig, whichever comes first
added --set/:set helpful
changed `internal error' to `don't worry' when isdev() couldn't anchor
added more to `set debug exec'
(internal) stopped using `doserror', use new `execresult' (which can
  also catch swapped error numbers, since swapping doesn't use doserror)
added Save/Write/Copy/Move to [SWCM] prompts on browsing screen

2.12 960104

added set/--set find-existing-file-command
added set/--set find-file-command
added :version
fixed an ancient error that prevents saving to directories with `.' in them
don't allow sending of >255 char lines (since rnr itself would lose part)
don't give useless warning when using {G}oto {a}ll and there's too many to
  fit so it looks like the join file is corrupt
fixed a lot of ancient errors with {G}oto `/'
ignore overview file on directories

2.11 [internal]

don't show blank lines with :show aliases
changed undocumented command (comments marked with {ugh})
in case TMP fills up, be more careful with cannot-read-file in some cases
when {G}oto {d}ate, add 24 hours to compensate for time zones
if mail list is long, fake rmail-single temporarily to avoid DOS' 128-byte
  command-line limitations
start of more flexible configuration scheme
added {G}oto {-} for show only antikilled (not _very_ mnemonic)
slightly better help text for re{m}ail while browsing
don't show ``To:(could not read file)''
when there's a comma (or other problematic character) in the fullname,
  put "s around it on To: line when replying

2.10 951108

added missing close() which messed up second :mail in a row
  (if the file was already open, rewrite() wouldn't empty it!  this
  seems to only be an error in my unpatched DRDOS 6.0 or its default
  disk caching software)

2.03 [internal]

lowercase id before trying to find full name (just in case user has
  tragic need to type it in mixed case)
with {Y}show-group-list, can pick group more easily with mouse

2.02 [internal]

show descriptions of first groups which will fit on screen when posting
nontrusted users cannot post to >3 groups; trusted users also warned
dots-on-reset thwarted crash-prevention when overview lied -- fixed
added :show aliases

2.01 [internal]

fixed posting to moderated groups with share loaded (it couldn't detect
  a moderated group at the very end of the process)
kill and antikill References: case-insensitively (I've seen it change,
  although it shouldn't)

2.00 951021

added left-arrow => ^B (was ^H), right-arrow => ^F translations for console
added :mailfile and :postfile
added encode-command to select command used for above (default: encode)
whitespace and ESC terminate entry of all folder names
whitespace and ESC terminate entry of alias names
doesn't crash when overview says an article's there but it's not
{G}oto / used to not work, now it does
added del => ^D translation for console
--detect-video now defaults to true
gives warning if there's too much quoted text (if not trusted, cannot post)
discovered that without --trusted, could not even reply in mail (it was
  intentional that could not even post) so that means probably no one
  is using it without --trusted at all.  oh well.
fixed lack of always restricting people with ``@no.such.domain'' from mailing
allow non-trusted to post unapproved articles with original From: header
  (but not cancel)
greatly improved bottom-line interface (left/right arrows or ^B/^F, del/^D,
  always in insert mode, ^U still works)
:set foo=0 is the same as :unset foo (=f,=false,=no,=off were already there)
added `m'ail command while browsing (instead of using `r'eply as it used to)
keeps default / string, but doesn't highlight until . or / used
doesn't skip to next article when you use / on last screen
added --truncate-id-length (defaults to 8) -- truncates IDs to this many chars
--tilde-home defaults to true
with --dots-on-reset, now shows dots on very first header-check as well
new {G}oto {d}ate-range
Home now maps to ^A, End now maps to ^E (should work as before, and better)
for outgoing mail from you, show a `To:' header instead of from
added {G}oto news {o}verview headers (subject and from only right now)
now check {config}/etc/passwd for uufree (used to have to pass in with -f)
quote-color even wrapped quoted lines
after {G}oto a directory, return to top of join file instead of quitting
again translate _ to space in --editor-options
  (should only do it if on the command-line, not in .rc file!)
added --debug/set debug -- colon-separated list
added debug :exec:
added debug :userid:
fixed problem with :unset crlf,
  where exactly-255-char headers looked like end-of-headers
with dynamic allocation of memory, startup requirements are greatly lessened
  (and if you have the memory <640k, you can have >1000 articles/group)
last 16-bit article-filename limitations were removed
added --swap disk
--swap now defaults to `ems' (`disk' for low-version DOSs), since otherwise
  you can't exec at all (maximum heap now at 640k)
--idle defaults to 60 for trusted, 5 for non-trusted (was 5 for all)
shows expanded To: and CC: headers on :mail/:mailfile/`m'ail when prompting
:mailfile and :postfile loop until either a valid filename or nothing entered
started `Y' while browsing to show subscribed group list
changed {G}oto {e}ither-header-or-body to {G}oto {w}hole-article
added {G}oto {s}ubject, {G}oto {n}ame
changed {G}oto {o}verview-headers to nn's {G}oto {e}ither-subject-or-name
can goto a group from subscribed group list
subscribed group list shows number of unread articles
`M'ove article no longer deletes -- it just empties old file (keeps numbering)
added `M'ove highlighted articles to selection screen (mail only)
`^D'elete is now a synonym for `M'ove `=trash' (mail only)
added {:} to selection and browsing help screens
added date to selection screen, default format mmmsdd
added :set date-format (yyyy,yy,mmm,mm,dd,w,www,www,s)
split into mail-date-format (mail) and news-date-format (everything else); on
  entry to any source date-format gets set to one (user can override with :set)
fixed where it wasn't remembering the last folder from M and C
even with {G}oto {+}unfiltered, skip over 0-length files
added --date-color
if subject is just `Re:', change to `No Subject' (otherwise it looks wrong)
fixed a subtle-but-obvious-when-you-know-what-it-is error in sorting
showed full name for local mailing to help prevent easily-avoided bounces
  on `:mail' and `r'eply and `m'ail
start of asking if you want to create a new folder
added --set/:set/--regex for regular expressions (not full -- only | right now)
added regex to {G}oto {s}ubject/{n}ame/{e}ither searching
added regex to {/}-while-browsing for sub-regexps
added regex to {=}-while-selecting for sub-regexps
added regex to kill/antikill searching
added regex to {G}oto {h}eader/{b}ody/{w}hole searching
made {=}-while-selecting string remembered
fixed can't-goto-from-last-Y-screen problem
added --set/:set/--show-kills, show-antikills
generalized (and slowed, alas) kill/antikill headers -- no longer limited to
  From/Subject -- can be any header but Newsgroups (which was used as a
  separator in early versions -- they should be changed automatically someday)
added --confirm-next-article
changed --confirm-next to --confirm-next-group
moved `loaded character set' action+message to after all initialization to
  allow for user-specific ones (e.g., based on %A) and also to show over
  a serial line (once other options have been processed)
added --quote-with-space
copies of mail in --outgoing-mail folder are now in character set given
  in MIME headers, not local charset
removed 2-address (one each in To:/CC: ) restriction
no longer say `local, unknown name' with it's a list of local addresses
  (e.g., `:mail chris,pat')
no longer use broken-on-fast-machines delay() after calling `rnews'
with --debug :slowkill: will indicate when it needs to go to disk to
  kill or antikill based on non-overview headers

added --set
added --unset (like --set, but appends a `=false')
added --netware to get userid from Novell Netware(TM)
look in {configdir}/etc/idtrans for new short id from old long id, which
  can be very useful with --netware where you have >8 char IDs

expand filename for --custom-static, allowing e.g., w:/waffle/statics/%A
added --from-userid for `From_' pseudo-header (defaults to userid)
never set weird colors when certain early parameters were illegal

changed default size-width to 3 from 4 (which was hiding above error)

no longer force layout to normal at start of each group
added :set quote-char {single-char} -- handy for itemized-list articles
  (not preserved across browses)
`e - edit article' was on wrong (non-trusted) help screen
now uses --from-userid in Message-ID: headers and uucp .XQT files
added --alternate-color for alternating colors in browsing (every blank
  line toggles) and selection screens (every other line)
cut down on a bit of traffic on selection screen updating over modem
added --mail-from and --news-from and --reply-to to cut down on need
  for --custom-static at all
interpret %_ as fullname-with-underscores (new with waffle 1.66)

now that there's unset, made --set crlf on by default
added --mail-marker-line and --news-marker-line

can scroll 1 line at a time with ^P and ^N while browsing
added `C'opy to folder while browsing (handy for saving searches)

a new undocumented command has comments marked with {ugh}
--ignore-mouse is no longer a restricted option

highlights `a' for antikilled articles
only tries to mkdir smarthost spool directory if using (builtin) mail command
added `%' while selecting to select all articles on all pages

added `"' while selecting to change layout
handles the illegal ``From: Some User ([e-mail])'' case
if there's garbage in headers, looks through already-seen body for address
display group description when using `:post'
added group description to selection-screen header (or as much as will fit)
when adding its own Followup-To: line for massive crosspostings, default
  to current group if it's in the list
changed -p/--port to be 1-based (1=COM1) instead of 0-based (0=COM1)
checks for LOGNAME environment variable as well as USER and NET_NAME
increased stack size
fixed failure where editor was disk-letter `:' executable-name (no dir)
added -? and --help
changed letter-letter and letter* to select the same as the first, not
  to do that stupid toggle-except-for-antikilled which never worked well
now `--trusted --port ...' works (formerly, --trusted had to be later)
unslash() --news- and --mail-cmd-line (e.g., /bin/rnews -> \bin\rnews)
when news is sent as mail, a Comments: header is added indicating this
now parses illegal-in-news `From: "<Sam>" <[e-mail]>' correctly
can subscribe with <G>oto unsubscribed-group (insert at beginning or end,
  or before or after some group)
added --find-quote-char (looks for same punctuation character at the
  start of 2 lines in a row in the first 20 -- not perfect, but good)
took `f'ollowup out of non-trusted browse help screen

fix for uupc -- group name components with >11 chars were mangled incorrectly
increased stack size again

1.26 950223

added a `...' in top-left corner while reset() on the article is happening,
  since this can take quite a while with lots of files in one directory
added --dots-on-reset to enable above since it's quite silly sometimes
started `x' while browsing to extract
expanded browsing-screen help in rnr.doc
case-insensitive colon-commands (e.g., :Q to quit)

supports new `outform: hierarchy' in waffle config
removed `this is not mail' warning on `C'opy to folder
gave better on-screen message with `C'opy and `M'ove
does not expand group names with `C'opy and `M'ove -- otherwise, once you
  had a folder called `=abcde' you couldn't create one called `=bc'
fixed a fatal problem with `C'/`M' replicating group names in the
  join file (this means no one ever used it before...?)
kept last-used folder name as default (like last-used sSwW filename)
(internalish) to save space, changed a bunch of things in rnrglob to
  `shortstring' or `pathstring' (since DOS allows only 64-byte paths)

1.24 950208

if user types :follow with no group list, use current

source for `C'opy to folder not restricted to mail folders

indicated `Move' or `Copy' in `M' and `C' prompts

1.23 950107

check for smarthost dir existing
added a lot of i/o checking
changed default article-separator to `---cut-here---'

highlighted <G>oto help text instead of using `<' and `>'
now shows % of the way through the article if known
added --equate-truncated
changed --equate-truncated to accept a value
 (suggested: 20, slightly lower with --squash-spaces)
allowed waffle config-file tags to be mixed case as well (not just uupc)
less awareness-impaired with to: or cc: lines changed
prints a lot of dots while sorting, so I can see what's taking so long
  (it seems to be --squash-spaces, which makes sense, the way it's done)
warns if there's no files at all in a group, or no directory

1.21 941120

changed permissions on hand-created outgoing files to `0600' -- no need
  to give everyone read access to mail
fixed updating of # of selected articles when `Z' used
don't indicate `s'een if the group being scanned isn't in the headers
  (this often happens when I move news by hand)
accept mixed case in configuration (static) file tags
fixed :mail command (had a shortcut of `j') on browsing screen
added ^F and ^B for forward/back page (from vi)
many patches from [e-mail]: char set fixes, avoiding a
  problem with share, mouse handling on selection screen, interface
  with swap-on-exec unit from [e-mail] for _much_ more memory

1.20 941029

changed <o>verwrite to <O>verwrite to make it harder to do by accident
changed unconfigured domain to `no.such.domain', like C News
added number-of-articles-selected on bottom line of selection screen

1.19 941016

`*' and `-' toggle on selection screen, instead of always selecting -- but
  they will not turn off antikilled items (which would be a pain)
fixed Control: line on posts (extra `cmsg' which belonged in Subject: line)
added ^G while browsing to search for next digest section
better default when there's no Subject: header

1.18 940903

fixed problem when mail groups were not alphabetically in order
tries to break at a word boundary when encountering long lines
`A' while browsing to add personal/system-wide (if trusted) alias

1.17 940814

for posts >254k say `huge' instead of bogus size (to fit in a byte)

fixed duplication of To: line when it was the last header in newsasmail
added --interface
added --interface-version as synonym to now-obsolete --waffle-version

added --mail-agent -- now makes sure always some mail shown
(internalish) finally removed {$ifdef oldmaildelivery} !

  CC: conflicted
when entering :follow group, can end with space

selected monitor group based on new, edited Newsgroups: header, not

looks for monitor groups in groups you posted to, then groups in the
  list before editing, then in groups before Followup-To: used

  any restricted options

--path-userid to change the last thing after the ! in the Path: line

  browsing key

changed environment variable from USERID to USER to be more consistent
