31.2.2
4        Added the 'search' command.
5        '/' is a keybinding for 'search'
6        '?' is a keybinding for 'search -r'
7        Fixed stristr, which was completely broken
8        renamed owl_fmtext_ztext_stylestrip to owl_function_ztext_styletsrip
9             and put it in functions.c
10        Attempts to stay near the current message when switching views.
11             When switching from an empty view to one we've previously
12             been in, the new current message position will attempt
13             to be close to the current position from the last
14             time we visited that view.
15       
161.2.1
17        New framework for command handling.
18        New framework for keymap handling.
19        Added commands for everything that is bound
20             to a key (do 'show commands' to get the full list).
21        Added 'multi' and '(' commands to allow multiple commands
22             to be specified on a line.             
23        Added user keybindings with bindkey command.
24        Added command aliases (eg, "alias foo bar").
25        Added undelete command that parallels the delete command.
26        Added additional options to delete command.
27        The reply command now takes arguments.
28        Added 'edit:insert-text' command.
29        Added 'show zpunts' to show active punt filters.
30        Added 'show variable <name>' and 'show variables'.
31        Added 'show command <name>' and 'show commands'.
32        Added 'show keymap <name>' and 'show keymaps'.
33        Added 'M-u' to undelete all messages in current view.
34        Fixed dotsend so that the zephyr will still send if there
35             is whitespace after the dot but not on the same line.
36             This should resolve an issue where dotsend wouldn't work
37             if you'd gone up and edited a zephyr.
38        Bug in page down fixed
39        C-t will transpose characters
40        Fix the scrolling bug where we would sometimes fail to scroll
41             the screen down, leaving the current message off
42             the bottom of the screen.
43        Refixed 'login or login' typo in help
44        Fixed M-u description
45        Removed 'first' and 'last' from basic command help
46        Added M-N to basic key help
47        Added M-D, M-u to basic key help
48        Fixed a quoting problem in configure.in
49        Changed top of help to use 'show' instead of M-x
50        Fixed a bug in the summary field for user-created aliases
51        Added "reply zaway" which sends a zaway response to the current msg.
52        Added "edit:delete-prev-word" command and bound M-BACKSPACE to it.
53        Some buffer overruns fixed
54        Variables now have a summary and a long description.
55                Only the summary is shown with help.
56                The long description is shown with "show variable foo".
57        Added a 'scrollmode' variable which determines how the screen
58             will scroll as the cursor moves.  The default behaves
59             identically to previous versions of owl.
60             The following modes are supported:
61             normal      - This is the owl default.  Scrolling happens
62                           when it needs to, and an attempt is made to
63                           keep the current message roughly near
64                           the middle of the screen.  (default)
65             top         - The current message will always be the
66                           the top message displayed.
67             neartop     - The current message will be one down
68                           from the top message displayed,
69                           where possible.
70             center      - An attempt is made to keep the current
71                           message near the center of the screen.
72             paged       - The top message displayed only changes
73                           when user moves the cursor to the top
74                           or bottom of the screen.  When it moves,
75                           the screen will be paged up or down and
76                           the cursor will be near the top or
77                           the bottom.
78             pagedcenter - The top message displayed only changes
79                           when user moves the cursor to the top
80                           or bottom of the screen.  When it moves,
81                           the screen will be paged up or down and
82                           the cursor will be near the center.
83        Added owl_sprintf which returns the formatted string, or NULL.
84                The caller must free this string.
85                This will allocate enough memory and thus
86                avoid potential some buffer overrun situations.
87        Simple implementation of 'zwrite -m' (doesn't yet log an outgoing
88                message as having been sent.)
89        The "Not logged in or subscribing to messages" error
90                now includes the name of the recipient.
91        The "disable-ctrl-d" variable may also be set to "middle"
92                which will result in ctrl-d only sending at the
93                end of the message.  This is now the default.
94                This also added a command "editmulti:done-or-delete".
95        Fixed a bug in the "reply -e" command.
96        Always clear the command buffer before executing the command.
97                (So that interactive commands can sanely do start-command.)
98        Fixed preservation of e->dotsend across owl_editwin_clear().
99        Added history for multiline edit windows (eg, for zephyr composition).
100                The M-n and M-p keys will cycle through the history ring.
101                In particular, it is now possible to edit the command line
102                of a zephyr being composed:  C-c it and restart it
103                and then M-p to get the aborted composition back.
104        Added owl::send_zwrite(command, message) to the perl glue
105                to allow for the direct sending of multi-line messages.
106                For example:  owl::send_zwrite("-c foo -i bar", "hello");
107        Changed owl_fmtext_print_plain to return an alloc'd string to
108                avoid buffer overrun risks.
109        Added owl::ztext_stylestrip("...") function to perlglue
110                 which returns the ztext with formatting stripped out.
111        Added colorztext variable which can be used to disable @color()
112                 strings arriving in messages after it is set.
113                 (Currently, changing its value won't reformat messages).
114        Outgoing zephyr logging now obeys the logpath variable.
115        The '~' character in logpath and classlogpath now gets
116                 replaced with the user's home directory.
117        Added simple implementation of smartnarrow-to-admin that
118                 creates a "type-admin" autofilter.
119                 This was done mostly so that M-C-n and M-C-p do something
120                 sane on admin messages.
121        Added opera to the allowed options to the webbrowser variable.
122        Fixed some buffer overruns in the "reply" command.
123        When repying to "all" on a message that begins with "CC:" (eg, sent
124                 with "zwrite -C", the reply line will be constructed
125                 from the sender and the usernames on the CC: line
126                 of the message being replied to.
127        There is no such thing as C-R, so left C-r as it is but added:
128                 M-r --- edit reply to all
129                 M-R --- edit reply to sender
130        Added RCS Id strings to all files.
131        'show keymaps' shows details of all keymaps after summary list.
132        Added --no-move option to delete command.
133                In particular, delete-and-always-move-down may now
134                be implemented with
135                '( delete --no-move ; next --skip-deleted )'.
136        Folded the nextmsg and prevmsg commands and functions together into
137                one command which takes arguments.
138                Added '--filter <name>' option (eg, for next_personal),
139                '--skip-deleted' option, and
140                '--last-if-none'/'--first-if-none' options.
141                Help updated accordingly. 
142                In particular, the 'personal' filter is now used
143                for 'next personal'. 
144                Added --smart-filter and --smart-filter-instance options
145                to the next and prev commands.
146        Updated examples/owlconf.erik with the above.
147        Made owl_function_fast*filt return a string and not do the
148                narrowing, to make it more general.
149        Added a smartfilter command that creates a filter
150                based on the current message and returns the name
151                of the filter.
152        Added M-C-n and M-C-p keybindings to "move to next message
153                matching current" and "move to previous message
154                matching current"
155        Added variables edit:maxfillcols and edit:maxwrapcols which
156                will limit how wide editing paragraphs may get before
157                they get wrapped.  This is a max and may be narrower
158                depending on the current size of the window.
159                If 0, the max is unlimited.  Default is 70 columns for
160                edit:maxfillcols and unlimited for edit:maxwrapcols.
161        Added smartzpunt command with key binding of "C-x k".
162                This starts a zpunt command filled in with
163                the proposed zpunt.
164        Fixed a memory reference bug in delete and undelete commands.
165        Added support for perl to call directly back into owl.
166        Changed the implementation of owl::command("...") to immediately
167                call back into owl.  This allows perl to get the return
168                value of strings returned by owl commands.
169        Added the getview command which returns the name of the current
170                view's filter. 
171        Added the getvar command which returns the value of a variable.
172        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses TAB to
173                narrow and restore the view. 
174        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses M-c to
175                color messages matching the current one green.
176        Integrated change to fix problem with popup blinking on new zephyrs.
177        C-l and resizes will now refresh an open viewwin (eg, help).
178        Updated doc/code.txt to include info about filters, commands,
179                contexts, and keybindings.
180        Exec commands cleaned up to not have buffer-size limitations
181                and to not mess up spaces.  exec also returns a string
182                of the output now.
183        Integrated changes from 1.1.3, and added docs for "zlocate -d"
184                and new show commands.
185        Show with arguments produces help on show.
186        Fix a bug in readconfig caught by efence (where we'd try to read before
187                the beginning of a string if it was empty).
188        The perl command doesn't do makemsg directly, but instead
189             returns the string and it will get printed if it
190             was run interactively.
191       
1921.1.3
193        'show subs' and 'show subscriptions' are now the same as 'getsubs'
194        zlocate now takes an optional -d argument

204        'show terminal' includes whether the terminal can change colors
205        fixed off by one bugs in paging / scrolling viewwin
206        don't downcase the sender when getting the log name for personals
207        support @owl::fields as well as @fields
208        downcase class/inst filter names in auto filters
209
2101.1.2
211        Fixed memory mishandling bug
212        Fixed bug in redfining the filter attached to the current view
213        M-n will narrow to message, instance on non-personal, class
214             MESSAGE messages
215        M-N behavies like M-n except that on class messages it narrows
216            to class and instance
217        line wrap earlier, to account for tabbing
218        fixed typo in help
219        'status' command now displays info on terminal color support

242              cases where they were used to owl_is_*
243        Changes to owlconf.erik to use some new features.
244        Increased the size of the help buffer (as it
245              was overflowing and truncating the help message).
246        Variables prefixed with a _ are not shown in help
247              or by printallvars (and prefixed Not Yet Implemented

308        Fixed an arg checking bug in delete command
309        Added owl::id to perl namespace with message id
310        Fixed a memory corruption bug in readconfig.c (where right
311              after the strdup to "out", we'd strcat a \n onto the end.
312              This would be triggered whenever owl::format_msg returned
313              a string not ending in a newline
314        Added 'X' keybinding which expunges and then switches to

317        Consolidated readconfig.c somewhat to remove duplication.
318              owl_config_execute now returns a string.
319        Added an example config file that does vt-style formatting.
320              (examples/owlconf.vtformat)
321        Added the 'perl', 'aperl', and 'pperl' commands which will

323        Fixed bug where pclose zsigproc would cause zombies
324        Can set zsigproc or zsig to "" to disable
325        Added support for multiple browsers (galeon and none were added).
326              Configure with the "webbrowser" variable.
327        Changing typewinsize height triggers resize event.
328        Added zsig variable which will be used if no zsigproc and non-empty.
329        Added "make test" rule to Makefile which will run regression tests,
330              and added regression testing framework to tester
331        Fixed codelist.pl to ignore static declarations.
332        Added dict.c which contains string->ptr dictionary routines
333              and the owl_dict type.
334              These include regression tests.
335        Overhaul/rewrite of variable handling.  Variables are now managed
336              in an owl_vardict (in g.vars) which contains a dictionary
337              of owl_variable's.  Each owl_variable has dispatch functions
338              for validating values, setting it and getting it,
339              and for setting it to and from string values.
340              The variable.c file contains the list of variables.
341              Stubs for the owl_global_<varname>_get functions and friends
342              are generated from variable.c by stubgen.pl.
343              The help.c messages for variables now calls into variable.c
344              so all information about most variables is in one place.   
345        Cleaned out code from global.c and command.c that was made obselete
346              by variable overhaul.
347        The set command now takes a -q option to not log a message.
348        Fixed a bug where set and print with no arguments would
349              print "Undefined variable" in addition
350              to running owl_function_printallvars.
351        debug is now a variable that can be turned on and off.
352        Fixed mail,inbox message parsing in examples/owlconf.erik
353        Made zaway_msg and zaway_msg_default into variables
354        Changed owl_function_makemsg and owl_function_debugmsg
355               to use varargs (ie, so they can now take a format
356               string with args).
357        Don't allow " and \ characters in URLs with the "w" command.
358        Removed lots of build warnings.
359        Popwins are wider by default so help messages fit better.
360        Added an atokenize_free function.
361        Fixes to work with an older version of libzephyr.
362        Added dependencies on header files to Makefile.in
363        Added pageup and pagedown key bindings to message list
364        Added pageup and pagedown to viewwin
365        Added configfile section to doc/intro.txt (from example config file)
366        Added appendtosepbar variable which may contain text which will
367              be appended to the sepbar.  This allows the configfile
368              to put information about pings and logins into
369              the sepbar.  (It may be worth also providing a variable
