Hello list.
I am sorry to have to say that the next release needs even more
time, but three major items on its plan are still missing,
development is slow due to time constraints, and little unplanned
things are happening all the time.
For example just two days ago Dr. Werner Fink of SuSE contacted me
again --- even with patch! --- for the UTF-8 input character set
detection he is longing for (for SuSE) for years, so we will *can*
$ echo $'\u263A' > a.txt
$ echo $'Hey \u263A' | \
LC_ALL=C s-nail -:/ -Smta=test \
-S ttycharset-detect=LATIN1 \
-a a.txt -s Kn$'\366'del [email protected]
via *ttycharset-detect* (please do not complain on names, if
i would start from scratch it would all be mime-*) in v14.10.
v14.10 should come out nicely without all the problems v14.9 had,
and it should definetely pave the way for the big MIME thing that
will end up as v15.
v14.10 will have many more tests, and a completely revised,
nonetheless extended manual. For example, and note the test now
uses TAB not 3*SPC indentation,
#?0|kent:s-nail-14.9.24$ ll nail.1 mx-test.sh; wc -cwlL mx-test.sh
[.] 445611 Mar 26 2022 nail.1
[.] 286616 Mar 26 2022 mx-test.sh*
10597 38554 286616 161 mx-test.sh
#?0|kent:s-nail-14.9.24$ (cd ~/src/nail.git/;
ll nail.1 mx-test.sh; wc -cwlL mx-test.sh )
[.] 387382 Jun 23 01:01 nail.1
^ and revision around ~70% iirc
[.] 362323 Jun 23 01:01 mx-test.sh*
14209 53479 362323 388 mx-test.sh
In fact i was even thinking about v14.9.25 because 32 commits
cumulated on [master] since v14.9.24, with unfortunately some real
fixes. But then i refrained, and keep on looking forward for
v14.10 of this little MUA.
Ciao, and a nice Summer, if you can!!
