Bump to version 0.7.10 and import of changes that have been made between 2003 and 2006 and haven't been tracked by any SCM. The changes are the following, in reverse order: * src/mboxgrep.h, src/main.c, src/mbox.c, src/mbox.h, src/scan.c: Temporary mbox file (used for deleting messages) is now created by tmpmbox_create(); tmpp global pointer is killed; portions of code in scan.c are replaced by single call of mbox_write_message(); scan.c no longer includes zlib.h and bzlib.h. * src/mboxgrep.h, src/main.c, src/maildir.c, src/scan.c: Got rid off tmpp and maildir_count global variables (code cleanup). * src/mboxgrep.h, src/main.c, src/scan.c: Introduction of the global runtime_t structure; mailbox counter, MD5 hash and other global variables are now part of it (code cleanup). * src/mboxgrep.h, src/re.c, src/re.h, src/scan.c: Portions of scan_mailbox() have been moved to new functions, pcre_match() and regex_match() (code cleanup). * src/main.c, src/mboxgrep.h, src/re.c, src/re.h, src/scan.c: main() has been partially uncluttered by moving portions of the code to functions pcre_init() and regex_init(). * src/main.c, src/mboxgrep.h, src/misc.c, src/misc.h: Variables regex_s and haveregex are now part of the option_t structure (code cleanup). * src/main.c, src/misc.c, src/misc.h: Parts of main() have been moved to set_default_options() and get_runtime_options() (code cleanup). * src/mbox.c, src/mbox.h: File mode and ownership-altering code has been moved to a separate function, tmpfile_mod_own (code cleanup). * src/mbox.c, src/mbox.h: Portions of the code from tmpfile_open moved to a new function, tmpfile_name (code cleanup). * src/maildir.c, src/mh.c: Removed some unused variables (have_return_path). * src/mboxgrep.h, src/maildir.c, src/mh.c, src/mbox.c, src/scan.c, src/main.c: boxname, outboxname, pipecmd and tmpfilename are now a part of the config_t structure and no longer global variables. * src/scan.c, src/misc.c, src/misc.h: Created postmark_print() to unclutter scan_mailbox(). * src/misc.c, src/misc.h, src/mbox.c, src/maildir.c, src/mh.c: Some repetitive code moved to malloc_message(). * src/mbox.c: Cleanup of mbox_write_message(); use of gzwrite_loop() and bzwrite_loop(). * src/scan.c, src/wrap.h, src/wrap.c: Wrote gzwrite_loop() and bzwrite_loop() to remove some repetitive code from scan.c. * src/scan.c: md5_check_message(): array b and cast in strncmp are no longer unsigned. * src/info.c, src/mboxgrep.h: Updated copyright information, changed author's email address to the one at Panix. * src/mbox.h, src/mbox.c, src/scan.c, src/main.c: mbox_write_message(); further fixes of message deletion code. * src/scan.c: Fixed deleting messages from mbox folders compressed with bzip2. * src/main.c, src/mbox.c: Moved James P. Dugal's ownership-preserving code from main() to tmpfile_open(). * src/info.c: If bzip2 support is compiled in, `--help' command should list `bz2mbox' as a valid option to `--mailbox-format='.

## Changes in 0.7.9
2023-02-12 16:51:10 +00:00
- implemented support for mbox folders compressed with bzip2 algorithm
- improved detection of PCRE library; this also fixes a compilation bug
on recent RedHat Linux systems
- fixed a problem with message deletion, which used to occur if an mbox
folder and temporary directory were on different filesystems;
2023-02-12 16:51:10 +00:00
thanks to James P. Dugal <jpd AT louisiana.edu> for providing a patch
## Changes in 0.7.8
- fixed crashes on MH folders, as well as a potential problem with mbox
and maildir folders with the same cause
2023-02-12 16:51:10 +00:00
- debugging with the dmalloc library
- MH and maildir functions no longer read files which aren't RFC 2822 messages
- mboxgrep can now read gzip compressed mbox folders from standard input
(which is a side effect of a code cleanup!)

- added `--without-sense-of-humor` switch to the configure script, which
disables checking whether Garfield still hates Mondays
2023-02-12 16:51:10 +00:00
- short version of `--version` switch is now `-V` instead of `-v`,
