# Changes of mboxgrep
## Changes since 0.7.9
Changes since 0.7.9
- fixed compile bug on FreeBSD and other systems
- fixed deleting messages mbox folders compressed with bzip2
Changes since 0.7.8
## Changes since 0.7.8
- 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;
thanks to James P. Dugal <jpd@louisiana.edu> for providing a patch

## Changes since 0.7.7
Changes since 0.7.7
- fixed crashes on MH folders, as well as a potential problem with mbox
and maildir folders with the same cause
- debugging with dmalloc library
- 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!)
Changes since 0.7.6a
## Changes since 0.7.6a
- mboxgrep can now read mbox folders from standard input
Changes since 0.7.6
## Changes since 0.7.6
- fixed a bug which prevented mboxgrep from being compiled
Changes since 0.7.5
## Changes since 0.7.5
- fixed a bug which caused mboxgrep to coredump on recursive search of
maildirs
- code cleanups
Changes since 0.7.4
## Changes since 0.7.4
- recursive search through directories has been reimplemented
Changes since 0.7.3
## Changes since 0.7.3
- mboxgrep can now ignore messages with identical bodies
Changes since 0.7.2
## Changes since 0.7.2
- file locking method can be selected at runtime
- mboxgrep used to coredump on messages with empty headers; the problem is
now hopefully fixed
- mboxgrep now compiles on FreeBSD
Changes since 0.7.1
- file locking with flock() instead of fcntl() is now supported
- mboxgrep should now compile on systems which don't have getopt_long()
## Changes since 0.7.1
- file locking with `flock()` instead of `fcntl()` is now supported
- mboxgrep should now compile on systems which don't have `getopt_long()`
- other minor bugfixes
Changes since 0.7.0
## Changes since 0.7.0
- bugfixes
Changes since 0.5.3
## Changes since 0.5.3
- NOTE: there was no stable version between 0.5.x and 0.7.x
- mboxgrep is almost completely rewritten
- implemented message deleting feature (--delete)
- implemented piping messages to a command (--pipe) (using this option,
- implemented message deleting feature (`--delete`)
- implemented piping messages to a command (`--pipe`) (using this option,
each selected message is piped to a separate instance of the specified
command)
- added support for compressed mbox folders
Changes since 0.5.2
## Changes since 0.5.2
- implemented ability to write found messages to another folder (instead
of stdout)
- started writing *real* changelog (while this file has been renamed to
of standard output)
- started writing a *real* changelog (while this file has been renamed to
"NEWS")
- wrote a manual in Texinfo format
Changes since 0.5.1
- implemented message counting (-c, --count)
- fixed manual page installation target in src/Makefile.in -- manual page
is now installed in $(manpath)/man1/ rather than in $(prefix)/man/man1/
- added `--without-sense-of-humor' switch to the configure script, which
disables checking whether Garfield still hates Mondays
- short version of `--version' switch is now `-V' instead of `-v',
because `-v' will be used for inverted matching
- implemented inverted matching (-v, --invert-match)
- implemented recursive search through directories (-r, --recursive)
- config.h[.in] is now wrapped (#ifndef CONFIG_H and stuff)
