Hi says the-mailer-which-needs-a-dummy,

subminor v14.5.1 brings some more bugfixes and improvements and
hopefully also represents the end-of-life of all fleas that i have
introduced recklessly in the v13* and <v14.5 series.
I would kindly ask all port maintainers which have not yet updated
to v14.5 to directly go to v14.5.1.

The release tarball can be downloaded (e.g., via 'curl -vv -L')
from, and its checksums are:

The complete changelog of commits in between two versions can be
inspected by using the git(1) `log' command as shown below, where `OLD'
and `NEW' are the two versions to be compared, e.g., v14.4.5 and v14.5.1:

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

v14.5.1, 2013-12-27
-------------------

ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- The build system *only* uses the automatically detected $CFLAGS and
  $LDFLAGS if WANT_AUTOCC=1.  I.e., even unset or empty $CFLAGS and
  $LDFLAGS are not touched until then.
  (We do however still set $CC if that is unset or empty or set to the
  plain string "cc".) [856625f6]

ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^

- Fixed segmentation faults / bus errors when setting *nofolder*
  / *line-editor-cursor-right* to the null string (only with WANT_NCL),
  respectively. [d1f1a19b, 21e5c285, 9f6ff25d]

- *prompt* handling is now really POSIX compliant (thus no prompting
  occurs not only for 'set noprompt', but also for setting *prompt* to
  the null string).

  This was indeed a rather large changeset that also introduced the new
  *prompt* escape character \&, which expands to `?' by default and to
  `&' if *bsdcompat* is set.

  Like that we now can simply assign "\& " to *prompt* at program
  startup, which (a) allows to do 'set noprompt' without error (once)
  and (b) allows for POSIX compliance in respect to prompt handling
  without any complicated conditional code, but (c) gives us the
  opportunity to continue to support BSD prompts.
  [0dfe53db]

- For completeness: new command: `features'.  (Rather useful for being
  able to implement more tests in the future, and act according to what
  is really compiled into the tested binary.

- The `-#' command line option now also sets *quiet* by itself.
  [7b5a5c87]

- nail.1: a newly introduced empty line in the manual produced error
  messages on some systems.  Fixed.

- The return value of the `mimetypes' command has been reversed and
  should now be fixed. [acf56ac52]

- In threaded display the Subject: followup suppression no longer
  takes into account invisible messages.
  Also, rudely hack in a messages-already-written-in-this-round counter,
  so that the followup suppression knows when "the top of the screen" is
  reached, which (seems to) help(s) against missing subjects up there as
  well as after a `newmail'. [topic/subject]

- Added a WANT_REGEX=1 toggle in `conf.rc'.
  When we find regular expressions then a new regex-enabled IMAP-style
  search is available (see the manual for more) [1ec8fe68]

    ? f (/or subject ^\[S-nail (subject ^\[nail-devel))
    ? f (/subject ^\[S-nail) (/subject ^\[nail-devel)
    ? f (/subject "^\\[(S-nail|nail-devel)")

  I'm looking forward for being able to add another, simplified, syntax.

ChangeLog (purely technical)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- The cc-test.sh has seen some tweaks, for easier future extension, and
  for adding a test for [d1f1a19]. [several, mentioned: 21e5c285]

- On systems without a real wordexp(3) implementations deadlocks could
  occur because we sometimes hold_all_sigs() to avoid longjmp(3)s away
  (and will do so for quite some time, still), and that resulted in the
  SIGCHLD that reported the exit of the started subshell to be blocked,
  too (e.g., after '? *.h<Tab>': endless hang).  Fixed.

v14.5, 2013-12-19
-----------------

Many thanks: Gaetan Bisson, William Yodlowsky, Gavin Troy,
Thomas (wasd AT gmx DOT net), Ypnose.
And Gavin Troy definetely deserves a very special credit.
But thank you all, and very much indeed!

ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- The `test' make target has been fixed. [f0991e14]
  (Gaetan Bisson)

- It is possible to gain a different kind of make(1) verbosity by
  using a VERBOSE=1 command line argument (this knob is not taken into
  account when deciding wether a rebuild is needed). [498e4ad0]
  (William Yodlowsky)

- On Crux 3 Linux and OpenBSD the readline(3) and editline(3),
  respectively, libraries will now be found when desired. [a7d1aa78]
  (William Yodlowsky)

- WANT_LINE_EDITOR has been renamed to WANT_NCL, *plus*.
  So now there are WANT_READLINE, WANT_EDITLINE and WANT_NLC, each of
  them can be set individually, and they are tested in the shown order.
  Also, WANT_TABEXPAND and WANT_HISTORY have been introduced and can be
  used to fine-tune functionality. [ae4e01e1, b2635feb, 9742bf40]

  (While here, i've fixed WANT_TABEXPAND code so that it is more
  sensitive to line excess; on Linux etc., where MAX_INPUT is 255,
  strange behaviour could be seen because we didn't take into account
  the length of the prompt at all.  The NCL is assumed to have only
  one remaining, but unfixable problem: backspace often is incapable
  to cross visual line boundaries; use ^A/^E + ^L, then. [e832c04a]

  Also, cursor (now ^B and ^F) and history movement (now ^P and ^N) of
  the NCL have been changed. [d7d928da])

- WANT_QUOTE_FOLD is now enabled by default.  And WANT_ASSERTS has been
  renamed to WANT_DEBUG. [1e10da1f]

- The build system has seen yet another overhaul in general.  CC, CFLAGS
  and LDFLAGS plus are now tracked and changes will force rebuilds.
  The new WANT_AUTOCC option can be used to let the build system figure
  out a compiler and choose known-to-work flags.  Use the new ADDCFLAGS=
  and ADDLDFLAGS= command line arguments to add your specific flags on
  top of those -- the final CFLAGS etc. are what is change-tracked.

  This rather massive internal rework revealed that old Bourne shells
  were yet not supported by the new build system, and so did testing
  that UnixWare installation was yet impossible due to tool
  incompatibility. [75c4b74e]

- The new WANT_AMALGAMATION option will force compilation of all the
  sources in a single compilation unit.  This requires a rather large
  amount of memory, but may produce a more compact, maybe more optimized
  binary.  (Implementing this revealed quite some bugs which could
  therefore be fixed.) [topic/amalgam]

- `nail.rc' has been pimped a bit (mostly comments, but
  *mime-counter-evidence* is now always set). [e3094ba7]

   That changeset was however buggy. [f3dcb46]
   (Gavin Troy)

- We no longer use install(1) for `install'ation make rules. [80b02cd9]

ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^

- Even '$ s-nail & fg $!' will now work with the NCL. [2a8b5c55]

- Several off-by-one (off-by-two) fixes. [32ce9836, 71e6d013, f139dc36]
  (Gavin Troy, Thomas)

- Setting *noprompt* now prevents prompting, as per POSIX. [ecefaf63]

- *prompt*: new \$ (exit status of last command) and \@ (name of
  currently active mailbox) escape sequences. [6f652046]

- One may now omit the space in '? unc' ('?unc') [05fcb383]

- New commands: `ghost' and `unghost' define command aliases (since
  `alias' is taken for a different purpose) [topic/commands]

    ? ghost ps '!ps axu'
    ? ps |grep nail

- There is now a pseudo account `null' (case-insensitive).
  Also a new `localopts' command exists; when used from within an
  `account' block, options changed will be reverted back to its former
  value when the account is left (e.g. by switching to `null'):

    define sdn_ {
       alternates [email protected] [email protected] \
          [email protected] [email protected]
       set Sign="\n--steffen\nForza Figa!" sign="\n--steffen"
       set smtp=smtp.gmail.com smtp-auth=plain smtp-use-starttls
       #..
    }
    account sdn_gm {
       localopts 1
       call sdn_
       set from="Steffen \"Daode\" Nurpmeso <[email protected]>"
    }
    account sdn_sf {
       localopts 1
       call sdn_
       set from="Steffen \"Daode\" Nurpmeso <[email protected]>"
    }

  E.g., after

    ? acc sdn_gm
    ? acc null

  neither of *Sign*, *sign*, *smtp** nor *from* should be set.
  Please see the manual for more.
  TODO - neither command-ghosts nor alternates etc. are yet tracked
  TODO - we should have a boolify() so as to say 'localopts yes' etc.
  [topic/acmava]

- New command: `cwd' (print current working directory).
  Also fixing the `chdir' return value. [eff4397c]

- The *ssl-method* now allows explicit setting of 'tls.1.1' and
  'tls1.2' values. [c66b4196]

- When sending to display, be aware that filenames in MIME parts may of
  course be MIME-encoded! [1454be03]

- *hostname* is now honoured even if *smtp* is not set.  (We always
  supported *from*, so why not *hostname*?)

- The `-u user' option now acts identically to setting the $USER
  environment variable and both now tend to mean something like
  "impersonate as user in some aspects".  Note that we have always used
  the latter in one or the other way, and `-u user' always ment more
  than just "open mailbox of user", so i think this change sharpens the
  edge in the right direction. [09632731]

- Filename argument quoting has been tweaked for (some) function(s which
  take a filename argument last).  The following snippet as reported by
  Gavin Troy should work now: [2bb9b80e]

    ? mv +inbox.Junk\ Mail

- The GNU implementation of wordexp(3) is also (i've added a workaround
  for the very same bug for Mac OS X in S-nail v14.3 [63273772]) buggy,
   which causes segmentation faults when expansions failed (`fi &VOID').
  [470527b7]
  (Gavin Troy)

- The `fi' command no longer uses the (possibly truncated) display
  version of a filename, but the full path. [5cd85b07]

ChangeLog (purely technical)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Large rework of internal structure: bundle inclusion of most of the
  external and the content of most of the internal #include files in the
  new nail.h.  If that would have been done very first bugs like the
  infamous MAXPATHLEN bug as reported by Paul Vojta (see v14.4.2) would
  never have occurred. [21f3155b]

- Support for -fstrict-overflow cc(1) flags. [topic/strict-overflow]

- Fixed the quotation filter which yet allocated memory even if not
  used. [c98cdaf5]

- String relaxation reduces memory pressure rather drastically when
  working with many (especially MIME) mails at a time, e.g., when
  writing a modified mailbox.  Before all messages of a mailbox had to
  be worked without releasing any memory in between, now we give back
  memory (to our pool, not the system) after each and every message.
  [topic/srelax]

- The other memory source now uses bound canaries, which also found some
  errors. [3d9fe741]

- We now use the EL_PROMPT_ESC editline(3) mode for prompting, which
  should offer the possibility to use coloured prompts etc. with
  (even those) editline(3) (versions which do offer it -- older versions
  should just do fine by themselves).
  S-nail uses the special trigger control character \1. [ea30d818]
  (Ypnose)

  Note however that all tested editline(3) versions are buggy and
  either don't get it right (`\1COLOR-ON\1stuff\1COLOR-OFF\1') or are
  incapable of proper repainting (`\1COLOR-ONstuffCOLOR-OFF\1').

- We now use the MD5 digest code from the OpenSSL library if that is
  usable. [893b16c0]
