31.2.3
4        Added filters "ping", "auto" and "login" by default.
5        Added "body" as a valid field to match on in a filter.
6        Temporary fix to bug where C-SPACE would cause the key handler to
7             lock up.
8        Messages now have a direciton (in, out or none).  Filters can
9             this direction
10        Outbound messages are no longer type 'admin' but are of the
11             appropriate message type (i.e. 'zephyr') and are direction
12             'out'.
13        Smartnarrow now works on outgoing messages
14        'info' updated to show more information for admin and outgoing
15             messages
16        Renamed pretty_sender to short_zuser and renamed long_sender to
17             long_zuser
18        Moved zsig generation to the zwrite object
19        Print the zsig used for outgoing messages
20       
211.2.2
22        Added the 'search' command.
23        '/' is a keybinding for 'search'
24        '?' is a keybinding for 'search -r'
25        Fixed stristr, which was completely broken
26        renamed owl_fmtext_ztext_stylestrip to owl_function_ztext_styletsrip
27             and put it in functions.c
28        Attempts to stay near the current message when switching views.
29             When switching from an empty view to one we've previously
30             been in, the new current message position will attempt
31             to be close to the current position from the last
32             time we visited that view.
33        Fixed bug in readconfig.c that prevented building under perl 5.005.
34        Switched "C-x C-x" to only "startcommand quit"
35        'getsubs' prints closer to the order you sub in.
36        Modified the behavior of last so that "> >" will clear the screen.
37        The new behavior of last is:
38              Moves the pointer to the last message in the view.
39              If we are already at the last message in the view,
40              blanks the screen and moves just past the end of the view
41              so that new messages will appear starting at the top
42              of the screen.
43        Fixed a typo in the help for smartzpunt.
44        Fixed functions to handle curmsg being past the end of the view.
45
461.2.1
47        New framework for command handling.
48        New framework for keymap handling.
49        Added commands for everything that is bound
50             to a key (do 'show commands' to get the full list).
51        Added 'multi' and '(' commands to allow multiple commands
52             to be specified on a line.             
53        Added user keybindings with bindkey command.
54        Added command aliases (eg, "alias foo bar").
55        Added undelete command that parallels the delete command.
56        Added additional options to delete command.
57        The reply command now takes arguments.
58        Added 'edit:insert-text' command.
59        Added 'show zpunts' to show active punt filters.
60        Added 'show variable <name>' and 'show variables'.
61        Added 'show command <name>' and 'show commands'.
62        Added 'show keymap <name>' and 'show keymaps'.
63        Added 'M-u' to undelete all messages in current view.
64        Fixed dotsend so that the zephyr will still send if there
65             is whitespace after the dot but not on the same line.
66             This should resolve an issue where dotsend wouldn't work
67             if you'd gone up and edited a zephyr.
68        Bug in page down fixed
69        C-t will transpose characters
70        Fix the scrolling bug where we would sometimes fail to scroll
71             the screen down, leaving the current message off
72             the bottom of the screen.
73        Refixed 'login or login' typo in help
74        Fixed M-u description
75        Removed 'first' and 'last' from basic command help
76        Added M-N to basic key help
77        Added M-D, M-u to basic key help
78        Fixed a quoting problem in configure.in
79        Changed top of help to use 'show' instead of M-x
80        Fixed a bug in the summary field for user-created aliases
81        Added "reply zaway" which sends a zaway response to the current msg.
82        Added "edit:delete-prev-word" command and bound M-BACKSPACE to it.
83        Some buffer overruns fixed
84        Variables now have a summary and a long description.
85                Only the summary is shown with help.
86                The long description is shown with "show variable foo".
87        Added a 'scrollmode' variable which determines how the screen
88             will scroll as the cursor moves.  The default behaves
89             identically to previous versions of owl.
90             The following modes are supported:
91             normal      - This is the owl default.  Scrolling happens
92                           when it needs to, and an attempt is made to
93                           keep the current message roughly near
94                           the middle of the screen.  (default)
95             top         - The current message will always be the
96                           the top message displayed.
97             neartop     - The current message will be one down
98                           from the top message displayed,
99                           where possible.
100             center      - An attempt is made to keep the current
101                           message near the center of the screen.
102             paged       - The top message displayed only changes
103                           when user moves the cursor to the top
104                           or bottom of the screen.  When it moves,
105                           the screen will be paged up or down and
106                           the cursor will be near the top or
107                           the bottom.
108             pagedcenter - The top message displayed only changes
109                           when user moves the cursor to the top
110                           or bottom of the screen.  When it moves,
111                           the screen will be paged up or down and
112                           the cursor will be near the center.
113        Added owl_sprintf which returns the formatted string, or NULL.
114                The caller must free this string.
115                This will allocate enough memory and thus
116                avoid potential some buffer overrun situations.
117        Simple implementation of 'zwrite -m' (doesn't yet log an outgoing
118                message as having been sent.)
119        The "Not logged in or subscribing to messages" error
120                now includes the name of the recipient.
121        The "disable-ctrl-d" variable may also be set to "middle"
122                which will result in ctrl-d only sending at the
123                end of the message.  This is now the default.
124                This also added a command "editmulti:done-or-delete".
125        Fixed a bug in the "reply -e" command.
126        Always clear the command buffer before executing the command.
127                (So that interactive commands can sanely do start-command.)
128        Fixed preservation of e->dotsend across owl_editwin_clear().
129        Added history for multiline edit windows (eg, for zephyr composition).
130                The M-n and M-p keys will cycle through the history ring.
131                In particular, it is now possible to edit the command line
132                of a zephyr being composed:  C-c it and restart it
133                and then M-p to get the aborted composition back.
134        Added owl::send_zwrite(command, message) to the perl glue
135                to allow for the direct sending of multi-line messages.
136                For example:  owl::send_zwrite("-c foo -i bar", "hello");
137        Changed owl_fmtext_print_plain to return an alloc'd string to
138                avoid buffer overrun risks.
139        Added owl::ztext_stylestrip("...") function to perlglue
140                 which returns the ztext with formatting stripped out.
141        Added colorztext variable which can be used to disable @color()
142                 strings arriving in messages after it is set.
143                 (Currently, changing its value won't reformat messages).
144        Outgoing zephyr logging now obeys the logpath variable.
145        The '~' character in logpath and classlogpath now gets
146                 replaced with the user's home directory.
147        Added simple implementation of smartnarrow-to-admin that
148                 creates a "type-admin" autofilter.
149                 This was done mostly so that M-C-n and M-C-p do something
150                 sane on admin messages.
151        Added opera to the allowed options to the webbrowser variable.
152        Fixed some buffer overruns in the "reply" command.
153        When repying to "all" on a message that begins with "CC:" (eg, sent
154                 with "zwrite -C", the reply line will be constructed
155                 from the sender and the usernames on the CC: line
156                 of the message being replied to.
157        There is no such thing as C-R, so left C-r as it is but added:
158                 M-r --- edit reply to all
159                 M-R --- edit reply to sender
160        Added RCS Id strings to all files.
161        'show keymaps' shows details of all keymaps after summary list.
162        Added --no-move option to delete command.
163                In particular, delete-and-always-move-down may now
164                be implemented with
165                '( delete --no-move ; next --skip-deleted )'.
166        Folded the nextmsg and prevmsg commands and functions together into
167                one command which takes arguments.
168                Added '--filter <name>' option (eg, for next_personal),
169                '--skip-deleted' option, and
170                '--last-if-none'/'--first-if-none' options.
171                Help updated accordingly. 
172                In particular, the 'personal' filter is now used
173                for 'next personal'. 
174                Added --smart-filter and --smart-filter-instance options
175                to the next and prev commands.
176        Updated examples/owlconf.erik with the above.
177        Made owl_function_fast*filt return a string and not do the
178                narrowing, to make it more general.
179        Added a smartfilter command that creates a filter
180                based on the current message and returns the name
181                of the filter.
182        Added M-C-n and M-C-p keybindings to "move to next message
183                matching current" and "move to previous message
184                matching current"
185        Added variables edit:maxfillcols and edit:maxwrapcols which
186                will limit how wide editing paragraphs may get before
187                they get wrapped.  This is a max and may be narrower
188                depending on the current size of the window.
189                If 0, the max is unlimited.  Default is 70 columns for
190                edit:maxfillcols and unlimited for edit:maxwrapcols.
191        Added smartzpunt command with key binding of "C-x k".
192                This starts a zpunt command filled in with
193                the proposed zpunt.
194        Fixed a memory reference bug in delete and undelete commands.
195        Added support for perl to call directly back into owl.
196        Changed the implementation of owl::command("...") to immediately
197                call back into owl.  This allows perl to get the return
198                value of strings returned by owl commands.
199        Added the getview command which returns the name of the current
200                view's filter. 
201        Added the getvar command which returns the value of a variable.
202        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses TAB to
203                narrow and restore the view. 
204        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses M-c to
205                color messages matching the current one green.
206        Integrated change to fix problem with popup blinking on new zephyrs.
207        C-l and resizes will now refresh an open viewwin (eg, help).
208        Updated doc/code.txt to include info about filters, commands,
209                contexts, and keybindings.
210        Exec commands cleaned up to not have buffer-size limitations
211                and to not mess up spaces.  exec also returns a string
212                of the output now.
213        Integrated changes from 1.1.3, and added docs for "zlocate -d"
214                and new show commands.
215        Show with arguments produces help on show.
216        Fix a bug in readconfig caught by efence (where we'd try to read before
217                the beginning of a string if it was empty).
218        The perl command doesn't do makemsg directly, but instead
219             returns the string and it will get printed if it
220             was run interactively.
221       
2221.1.3
223        'show subs' and 'show subscriptions' are now the same as 'getsubs'
224        zlocate now takes an optional -d argument

234        'show terminal' includes whether the terminal can change colors
235        fixed off by one bugs in paging / scrolling viewwin
236        don't downcase the sender when getting the log name for personals
237        support @owl::fields as well as @fields
238        downcase class/inst filter names in auto filters
239
2401.1.2
241        Fixed memory mishandling bug
242        Fixed bug in redfining the filter attached to the current view
243        M-n will narrow to message, instance on non-personal, class
244             MESSAGE messages
245        M-N behavies like M-n except that on class messages it narrows
246            to class and instance
247        line wrap earlier, to account for tabbing
248        fixed typo in help

274        Increased the size of the help buffer (as it
275              was overflowing and truncating the help message).
276        Variables prefixed with a _ are not shown in help
277              or by printallvars (and prefixed Not Yet Implemented

337        Added "-id <id>" option to delete command
338        Fixed an arg checking bug in delete command
339        Added owl::id to perl namespace with message id
340        Fixed a memory corruption bug in readconfig.c (where right
341              after the strdup to "out", we'd strcat a \n onto the end.
342              This would be triggered whenever owl::format_msg returned
343              a string not ending in a newline
344        Added 'X' keybinding which expunges and then switches to
345              a view defined by the variable "view_home" which defaults
346              to "all"
347        Consolidated readconfig.c somewhat to remove duplication.
348              owl_config_execute now returns a string.
349        Added an example config file that does vt-style formatting.
350              (examples/owlconf.vtformat)
351        Added the 'perl', 'aperl', and 'pperl' commands which will

353        Fixed bug where pclose zsigproc would cause zombies
354        Can set zsigproc or zsig to "" to disable
355        Added support for multiple browsers (galeon and none were added).
356              Configure with the "webbrowser" variable.
357        Changing typewinsize height triggers resize event.
358        Added zsig variable which will be used if no zsigproc and non-empty.
359        Added "make test" rule to Makefile which will run regression tests,
360              and added regression testing framework to tester
361        Fixed codelist.pl to ignore static declarations.
362        Added dict.c which contains string->ptr dictionary routines
363              and the owl_dict type.
364              These include regression tests.
365        Overhaul/rewrite of variable handling.  Variables are now managed
366              in an owl_vardict (in g.vars) which contains a dictionary
367              of owl_variable's.  Each owl_variable has dispatch functions
368              for validating values, setting it and getting it,
369              and for setting it to and from string values.
370              The variable.c file contains the list of variables.
371              Stubs for the owl_global_<varname>_get functions and friends
372              are generated from variable.c by stubgen.pl.
