21.2.4
3        'zlog in' will now take an optional thrid argument to set the
4             'tty' variable before setting the zlocation
5        There is now a 'zlist' command that acts like 'znol -l'
6        'l' is bound to 'zlist'
7        Fixed memory leak uninitialzed memory read in fmtext
8       
91.2.3
10        Added filters "ping", "auto" and "login" by default.
11        Added "body" as a valid field to match on in a filter.
12        Temporary fix to bug where C-SPACE would cause the key handler to
13             lock up.
14        Messages now have a direciton (in, out or none).  Filters can
15             match on this direction
16        Outbound messages are no longer type 'admin' but are of the
17             appropriate message type (i.e. 'zephyr') and are direction
18             'out'.
19        Smartnarrow now works on outgoing messages
20        'info' updated to show more information for admin and outgoing
21             messages
22        Renamed pretty_sender to short_zuser and renamed long_sender to
23             long_zuser
24        Moved zsig generation to the zwrite object
25        Print the zsig used for outgoing messages
26        The tty variable now controls the zephyr location tty name
27       
281.2.2
29        Added the 'search' command.
30        '/' is a keybinding for 'search'
31        '?' is a keybinding for 'search -r'
32        Fixed stristr, which was completely broken
33        renamed owl_fmtext_ztext_stylestrip to owl_function_ztext_styletsrip
34             and put it in functions.c
35        Attempts to stay near the current message when switching views.
36             When switching from an empty view to one we've previously
37             been in, the new current message position will attempt
38             to be close to the current position from the last
39             time we visited that view.
40        Fixed bug in readconfig.c that prevented building under perl 5.005.
41        Switched "C-x C-x" to only "startcommand quit"
42        'getsubs' prints closer to the order you sub in.
43        Modified the behavior of last so that "> >" will clear the screen.
44        The new behavior of last is:
45              Moves the pointer to the last message in the view.
46              If we are already at the last message in the view,
47              blanks the screen and moves just past the end of the view
48              so that new messages will appear starting at the top
49              of the screen.
50        Fixed a typo in the help for smartzpunt.
51        Fixed functions to handle curmsg being past the end of the view.
52
531.2.1
54        New framework for command handling.
55        New framework for keymap handling.
56        Added commands for everything that is bound
57             to a key (do 'show commands' to get the full list).
58        Added 'multi' and '(' commands to allow multiple commands
59             to be specified on a line.             
60        Added user keybindings with bindkey command.
61        Added command aliases (eg, "alias foo bar").
62        Added undelete command that parallels the delete command.
63        Added additional options to delete command.
64        The reply command now takes arguments.
65        Added 'edit:insert-text' command.
66        Added 'show zpunts' to show active punt filters.
67        Added 'show variable <name>' and 'show variables'.
68        Added 'show command <name>' and 'show commands'.
69        Added 'show keymap <name>' and 'show keymaps'.
70        Added 'M-u' to undelete all messages in current view.
71        Fixed dotsend so that the zephyr will still send if there
72             is whitespace after the dot but not on the same line.
73             This should resolve an issue where dotsend wouldn't work
74             if you'd gone up and edited a zephyr.
75        Bug in page down fixed
76        C-t will transpose characters
77        Fix the scrolling bug where we would sometimes fail to scroll
78             the screen down, leaving the current message off
79             the bottom of the screen.
80        Refixed 'login or login' typo in help
81        Fixed M-u description
82        Removed 'first' and 'last' from basic command help
83        Added M-N to basic key help
84        Added M-D, M-u to basic key help
85        Fixed a quoting problem in configure.in
86        Changed top of help to use 'show' instead of M-x
87        Fixed a bug in the summary field for user-created aliases
88        Added "reply zaway" which sends a zaway response to the current msg.
89        Added "edit:delete-prev-word" command and bound M-BACKSPACE to it.
90        Some buffer overruns fixed
91        Variables now have a summary and a long description.
92                Only the summary is shown with help.
93                The long description is shown with "show variable foo".
94        Added a 'scrollmode' variable which determines how the screen
95             will scroll as the cursor moves.  The default behaves
96             identically to previous versions of owl.
97             The following modes are supported:
98             normal      - This is the owl default.  Scrolling happens
99                           when it needs to, and an attempt is made to
100                           keep the current message roughly near
101                           the middle of the screen.  (default)
102             top         - The current message will always be the
103                           the top message displayed.
104             neartop     - The current message will be one down
105                           from the top message displayed,
106                           where possible.
107             center      - An attempt is made to keep the current
108                           message near the center of the screen.
109             paged       - The top message displayed only changes
110                           when user moves the cursor to the top
111                           or bottom of the screen.  When it moves,
112                           the screen will be paged up or down and
113                           the cursor will be near the top or
114                           the bottom.
115             pagedcenter - The top message displayed only changes
116                           when user moves the cursor to the top
117                           or bottom of the screen.  When it moves,
118                           the screen will be paged up or down and
119                           the cursor will be near the center.
120        Added owl_sprintf which returns the formatted string, or NULL.
121                The caller must free this string.
122                This will allocate enough memory and thus
123                avoid potential some buffer overrun situations.
124        Simple implementation of 'zwrite -m' (doesn't yet log an outgoing
125                message as having been sent.)
126        The "Not logged in or subscribing to messages" error
127                now includes the name of the recipient.
128        The "disable-ctrl-d" variable may also be set to "middle"
129                which will result in ctrl-d only sending at the
130                end of the message.  This is now the default.
131                This also added a command "editmulti:done-or-delete".
132        Fixed a bug in the "reply -e" command.
133        Always clear the command buffer before executing the command.
134                (So that interactive commands can sanely do start-command.)
135        Fixed preservation of e->dotsend across owl_editwin_clear().
136        Added history for multiline edit windows (eg, for zephyr composition).
137                The M-n and M-p keys will cycle through the history ring.
138                In particular, it is now possible to edit the command line
139                of a zephyr being composed:  C-c it and restart it
140                and then M-p to get the aborted composition back.
141        Added owl::send_zwrite(command, message) to the perl glue
142                to allow for the direct sending of multi-line messages.
143                For example:  owl::send_zwrite("-c foo -i bar", "hello");
144        Changed owl_fmtext_print_plain to return an alloc'd string to
145                avoid buffer overrun risks.
146        Added owl::ztext_stylestrip("...") function to perlglue
147                 which returns the ztext with formatting stripped out.
148        Added colorztext variable which can be used to disable @color()
149                 strings arriving in messages after it is set.
150                 (Currently, changing its value won't reformat messages).
151        Outgoing zephyr logging now obeys the logpath variable.
152        The '~' character in logpath and classlogpath now gets
153                 replaced with the user's home directory.
154        Added simple implementation of smartnarrow-to-admin that
155                 creates a "type-admin" autofilter.
156                 This was done mostly so that M-C-n and M-C-p do something
157                 sane on admin messages.
158        Added opera to the allowed options to the webbrowser variable.
159        Fixed some buffer overruns in the "reply" command.
160        When repying to "all" on a message that begins with "CC:" (eg, sent
161                 with "zwrite -C", the reply line will be constructed
162                 from the sender and the usernames on the CC: line
163                 of the message being replied to.
164        There is no such thing as C-R, so left C-r as it is but added:
165                 M-r --- edit reply to all
166                 M-R --- edit reply to sender
167        Added RCS Id strings to all files.
168        'show keymaps' shows details of all keymaps after summary list.
169        Added --no-move option to delete command.
170                In particular, delete-and-always-move-down may now
171                be implemented with
172                '( delete --no-move ; next --skip-deleted )'.
173        Folded the nextmsg and prevmsg commands and functions together into
174                one command which takes arguments.
175                Added '--filter <name>' option (eg, for next_personal),
176                '--skip-deleted' option, and
177                '--last-if-none'/'--first-if-none' options.
178                Help updated accordingly. 
179                In particular, the 'personal' filter is now used
180                for 'next personal'. 
181                Added --smart-filter and --smart-filter-instance options
182                to the next and prev commands.
183        Updated examples/owlconf.erik with the above.
184        Made owl_function_fast*filt return a string and not do the
185                narrowing, to make it more general.
186        Added a smartfilter command that creates a filter
187                based on the current message and returns the name
188                of the filter.
189        Added M-C-n and M-C-p keybindings to "move to next message
190                matching current" and "move to previous message
191                matching current"
192        Added variables edit:maxfillcols and edit:maxwrapcols which
193                will limit how wide editing paragraphs may get before
194                they get wrapped.  This is a max and may be narrower
195                depending on the current size of the window.
196                If 0, the max is unlimited.  Default is 70 columns for
197                edit:maxfillcols and unlimited for edit:maxwrapcols.
198        Added smartzpunt command with key binding of "C-x k".
199                This starts a zpunt command filled in with
200                the proposed zpunt.
201        Fixed a memory reference bug in delete and undelete commands.
202        Added support for perl to call directly back into owl.
203        Changed the implementation of owl::command("...") to immediately
204                call back into owl.  This allows perl to get the return
205                value of strings returned by owl commands.
206        Added the getview command which returns the name of the current
207                view's filter. 
208        Added the getvar command which returns the value of a variable.
209        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses TAB to
210                narrow and restore the view. 
211        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses M-c to
212                color messages matching the current one green.
213        Integrated change to fix problem with popup blinking on new zephyrs.
214        C-l and resizes will now refresh an open viewwin (eg, help).
215        Updated doc/code.txt to include info about filters, commands,
216                contexts, and keybindings.
217        Exec commands cleaned up to not have buffer-size limitations
218                and to not mess up spaces.  exec also returns a string
219                of the output now.
220        Integrated changes from 1.1.3, and added docs for "zlocate -d"
221                and new show commands.
222        Show with arguments produces help on show.
223        Fix a bug in readconfig caught by efence (where we'd try to read before
224                the beginning of a string if it was empty).
225        The perl command doesn't do makemsg directly, but instead
226             returns the string and it will get printed if it
227             was run interactively.
228       
2291.1.3
230        'show subs' and 'show subscriptions' are now the same as 'getsubs'
231        zlocate now takes an optional -d argument

239        can now do 'show version'
240        'status' / 'show status' includes the owl version number now
241        'show terminal' includes whether the terminal can change colors
242        fixed off by one bugs in paging / scrolling viewwin
243        don't downcase the sender when getting the log name for personals
244        support @owl::fields as well as @fields
245        downcase class/inst filter names in auto filters
246
2471.1.2
248        Fixed memory mishandling bug
249        Fixed bug in redfining the filter attached to the current view
250        M-n will narrow to message, instance on non-personal, class
251             MESSAGE messages
252        M-N behavies like M-n except that on class messages it narrows
253            to class and instance
254        line wrap earlier, to account for tabbing
255        fixed typo in help

268        If colors are available 'show filters' will show a filter in the
269          color associated with it.

271        Lines in the subs file starting with '-' are zpunted
272        Include login/logout messages in auto user filters
273        'V' changes to the home view ('all' by default)

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

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

383              by variable overhaul.
384        The set command now takes a -q option to not log a message.

386              print "Undefined variable" in addition
387              to running owl_function_printallvars.

404              be appended to the sepbar.  This allows the configfile
405              to put information about pings and logins into
406              the sepbar.  (It may be worth also providing a variable
407              which enables this by default, but for now this allows
408              for experimenting with what works well.)
409        Added doc/code.txt which gives a brief overview of the code.
410        Added tags makefile rule and added TAGS to distclean rule.
