Fixed

  • New version (1.10) of lbdb.el by Dave Pearson davep@davep.org: Fixes the fact that, when in an emacs that doesn’t have `line-{beginning,end}-position’ available (xemacs, for example) I wasn’t defining fully compatible versions.
  • Add short description to mutt_ldap_query in NAME section.
  • Add option -a to fetchaddr and lbdb-fetchaddr to fetch also addresses without realname.

[0.25.1] - 2001-07-24

Fixed

Fixed

  • Fix problem in mutt_ldap_query, which ignored the content of the config file before.

  • Upgrade lbdb.el to version 1.9 (Thanks Dave!).

[0.22] - 2000-10-17

  • Create sysconfdir, if it doesn’t already exist.
  • lbdbq: write information about number of matching entries into status line and exit with return value 1, if no matching entries were found.
  • Correct exit value of lbdbq (trap command).

[0.20.1] - 2000-08-24

Fixed

  • Fix name conflicts (m_palm_lsaddr now completely renamed to palm_lsaddr).

[0.20] - 2000-08-21

Added

Fixed

  • Update documentation.
  • Rename $p to $CURRENT_MODULE_DIR in lbdbq, so a module can access the directory where it is placed itself for accessing some helper applications.

[0.19.9] - 2000-08-16

Fixed

  • Remove erroneous quotes from lbdb-fetchaddr, which caused fetchaddr to write “`’ wrong parameter” error message to procmail log file.

  • s/strfcpy/strncpy/ in fetchaddr.c.

[0.19.8] - 2000-08-08

[0.19.7] - 2000-08-07

Added

  • Add a new option -h to lbdb-fetchaddr and fetchaddr, which allows you to add a colon separated list of header fields to search for mail addresses. If this option isn’t given, we fall back to “from:to:cc:resent-from:resent-to” (https://bugs.debian.org/54169).

[0.19.6] - 2000-08-05

Added

  • New version of m_pine by Gabor Fleischer flocsy@mtesz.hu: Now handles aliases without real names correct (by using a single space as the realname, so Mutt has not problem with this.
  • Add new helper program qpto8bit, which converts quoted-printable (according to RFC2047) to plain 8bit (without MIME header). This is used by m_pine to decode quoted-printable in addressbooks to 8bit.

[0.19.5] - 2000-06-23

Added

  • Add new module m_pine, provided by Gabor FLEISCHER flocsy@mtesz.hu to search pine address books.

Fixed

  • Remove “-f” option from configure @AWK@ variable and manually add it, where it is needed, otherwise @AWK@ cannot be used for inline scripts.
  • Fixed m_muttalias to additionally accept “foo@bar (Foo Bar)” style addresses and to ignore group aliases.

[0.19.4] - 2000-05-28

Fixed

  • Make dotlock.c compile on systems without snprintf() again.
  • Don’t remove Makefile in clean target but only in distclean.

[0.19.3] - 2000-05-27

Added

[0.19.2] - 2000-05-22

Changed

  • Give the dateformat to fetchaddr(1) using the -d option (instead of simply using argv[1]).
  • Give the dateformat to lbdb-fetchaddr(1) using the -d option. If there is only one parameter, this is used as dateformat for backward compatibility. Manpage adapted to this.

Fixed

  • Remove DOTLOCK=/usr/bin/mutt_dotlock from ./configure environment. This is superfluous since –enable-lbdb-dotlock is used, but it doesn’t cause problems (neither with mutt installed or deinstalled) (https://bugs.debian.org/64134).
  • Fixed typo in m_abook (“@$” instead of “$@”).

[0.19] - 2000-05-08

Added

  • Add abook support based on an idea by Ross Campbell rcampbel@us.oracle.com.
  • Add NIS support based on an idea by Ross Campbell rcampbel@us.oracle.com.
  • Add lbdb.spec by Horms horms@vergenet.net.
  • Update the version number in lbdb.spec via configure.
  • Add option SORT_OUTPUT to lbdb.rc, which can be set to “false” or “no”. This implies that lbdbq doesn’t sort the output but reverts its order, so the most recent addresses from m_inmail.list will be shown first. Thanks to Andrew Over aover@uq.net.au for this idea.

Fixed

  • use safe_strdup() instead of strdup() which isn’t available on Ultrix.
  • Add –enable-lbdb-dotlock to configure options to force using of lbdb_dotlock (instead of using mutt_dotlock) and use this option for the Debian package (https://bugs.debian.org/58188).
  • Update FSF address in copyrights.
  • Update dotlock code from mutt 1.1.12.
  • Speed up munge (nearly two times as fast as previous version).

Fixed

  • Removed word boundary check in m_inmail, because this is only available in GNU grep.

[0.17] - 1999-04-07

Added

  • Delay munging of mails when using lbdb-fetchaddr/m_inmail by adding a new script lbdb-munge, which is run by lbdbq and can be run by cron additionally. Thanks to Enrico Zini zinie@cs.unibo.it for the base idea of this.

Changed

  • Made lbdb-fetchaddr Y2K compliant by changing the date format which is written to the 3rd column of m_inmail.list to “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M” (e.g. “1999-04-29 14:33”).
  • Made date format in lbdb-fetchaddr runtime configurable as a command line parameter. If no date format is specified, “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M” is used as the default.
