  • recursive search through directories has been reimplemented

Changes since 0.7.3

  • mboxgrep can now ignore messages with identical bodies

Changes since 0.7.2

Changes since 0.5.3

  • NOTE: there was no stable version between 0.5.x and 0.7.x

  • fixed manual page installation target in src/Makefile.in -- manual page is now installed in $(manpath)/man1/ rather than $(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)

Changes since 0.5.0

  • added support for qmail-style maildir folders

Changes since 0.4.0

  • file locking is now performed on mbox folders only

Changes since 0.2.0

  • added support for MH mailboxes
  • added scope selection switches -B (or --body) and -H (or --headers)
  • getopt() (or getopt_long(), if available) is now used to parse command line arguments, instead of my own lousy routine

  • the feature of reading from standard input is gone
  • added -v (or --version) switch

Changes since 0.1.1

  • mboxgrep now puts a shared lock on a mailbox before reading it
