Variables now have a summary and a long description. Only the summary is shown with help. The long description is shown with "show variable foo". Fix the scrolling bug where we would sometimes fail to scroll the screen down, leaving the current message off the bottom of the screen. Added a 'scrollmode' variable which determines how the screen will scroll as the cursor moves. The default behaves identically to previous versions of owl. The following modes are supported: normal - This is the owl default. Scrolling happens when it needs to, and an attempt is made to keep the current message roughly near the middle of the screen. (default) top - The current message will always be the the top message displayed. neartop - The current message will be one down from the top message displayed, where possible. center - An attempt is made to keep the current message near the center of the screen. paged - The top message displayed only changes when user moves the cursor to the top or bottom of the screen. When it moves, the screen will be paged up or down and the cursor will be near the top or the bottom. pagedcenter - The top message displayed only changes when user moves the cursor to the top or bottom of the screen. When it moves, the screen will be paged up or down and the cursor will be near the center.

4        Variables now have a summary and a long description.
5                Only the summary is shown with help.
6                The long description is shown with "show variable foo".
7        Fix the scrolling bug where we would sometimes fail to scroll
8             the screen down, leaving the current message off
9             the bottom of the screen.
10        Added a 'scrollmode' variable which determines how the screen
11             will scroll as the cursor moves.  The default behaves
12             identically to previous versions of owl.
13             The following modes are supported:
14             normal      - This is the owl default.  Scrolling happens
15                           when it needs to, and an attempt is made to

27                           or bottom of the screen.  When it moves,
28                           the screen will be paged up or down and

30                           the bottom.
31             pagedcenter - The top message displayed only changes
32                           when user moves the cursor to the top

371.2.1-pre-2
38        Refixed 'login or login' typo in help
39        Fixed M-u description
40        Removed 'first' and 'last' from basic command help
41        Added M-N to basic key help
42        Added M-D, M-u to basic key help
43        Fixed a quoting problem in configure.in
44        Changed top of help to use 'show' instead of M-x
45        Fixed a bug in the summary field for user-created aliases
46        Added "reply zaway" which sends a zaway response to the current msg.
47        Added "edit:delete-prev-word" command and bound M-BACKSPACE to it.
48        Added owl_sprintf which returns the formatted string, or NULL.
49                The caller must free this string.
50                This will allocate enough memory and thus
51                avoid potential some buffer overrun situations.
52        Started fixing some potential buffer overrun situations.
53        Simple implementation of 'zwrite -m' (doesn't yet log an outgoing
54                message as having been sent.)
55        The "Not logged in or subscribing to messages" error
56                now includes the name of the recipient.
57        The "disable-ctrl-d" variable may also be set to "middle"
58                which will result in ctrl-d only sending at the
59                end of the message.  This is now the default.
60                This also added a command "editmulti:done-or-delete".
61        Fixed a bug in the "reply -e" command.
62        Always clear the command buffer before executing the command.
63                (So that interactive commands can sanely do start-command.)
64        Fixed preservation of e->dotsend across owl_editwin_clear().
65        Added history for multiline edit windows (eg, for zephyr composition).
66                The M-n and M-p keys will cycle through the history ring.
67                In particular, it is now possible to edit the command line
68                of a zephyr being composed:  C-c it and restart it
69                and then M-p to get the aborted composition back.
70        Added owl::send_zwrite(command, message) to the perl glue
71                to allow for the direct sending of multi-line messages.
72                For example:  owl::send_zwrite("-c foo -i bar", "hello");
73        Reverted attempted fix for the pagedown problem
74                which just made things worse.
75        Changed owl_fmtext_print_plain to return an alloc'd string to
76                avoid buffer overrun risks.
77        Added owl::ztext_stylestrip("...") function to perlglue
78                 which returns the ztext with formatting stripped out.
79        Added colorztext variable which can be used to disable @color()
80                 strings arriving in messages after it is set.
81                 (Currently, changing its value won't reformat messages).
82        Outgoing zephyr logging now obeys the logpath variable.
83        The '~' character in logpath and classlogpath now gets
84                 replaced with the user's home directory.
85        Added simple implementation of smartnarrow-to-admin that
86                 creates a "type-admin" autofilter.
87                 This was done mostly so that M-C-n and M-C-p do something
88                 sane on admin messages.
89        Added opera to the allowed options to the webbrowser variable.
90        Fixed some buffer overruns in the "reply" command.
91        When repying to "all" on a message that begins with "CC:" (eg, sent
92                 with "zwrite -C", the reply line will be constructed
93                 from the sender and the usernames on the CC: line
94                 of the message being replied to.
95        There is no such thing as C-R, so left C-r as it is but added:
96                 M-r --- edit reply to all
97                 M-R --- edit reply to sender
98       
991.2.1-pre-1
100        Added RCS Id strings to all files.
101        'show keymaps' shows details of all keymaps after summary list.
102        Added --no-move option to delete command.
103                In particular, delete-and-always-move-down may now
104                be implemented with
105                '( delete --no-move ; next --skip-deleted )'.
106        Folded the nextmsg and prevmsg commands and functions together into
107                one command which takes arguments.
108                Added '--filter <name>' option (eg, for next_personal),
109                '--skip-deleted' option, and
110                '--last-if-none'/'--first-if-none' options.
111                Help updated accordingly. 
112                In particular, the 'personal' view is now used
113                for 'next personal'. 
114        Updated examples/owlconf.erik with the above.
115        Fixed the annoying pagedown sometimes-not-working bug.
116        Made owl_function_fast*filt return a string and not do the
117                narrowing, to make it more general.
118        Added a smartfilter command that creates a filter
119                based on the current message and returns the name
120                of the filter.
121        Added --smart-filter and --smart-filter-instance options
122                to the next and prev commands.
123        Added M-C-n and M-C-p keybindings to "move to next message
124                matching current" and "move to previous message
125                matching current"
126        Added variables edit:maxfillcols and edit:maxwrapcols which
127                will limit how wide editing paragraphs may get before
128                they get wrapped.  This is a max and may be narrower
129                depending on the current size of the window.
130                If 0, the max is unlimited.  Default is 70 columns for
131                edit:maxfillcols and unlimited for edit:maxwrapcols.
132        Added smartzpunt command with key binding of "C-x k".
133                This starts a zpunt command filled in with
134                the proposed zpunt.
135        Fixed a memory reference bug in delete and undelete commands.
136        Added support for perl to call directly back into owl.
137        Changed the implementation of owl::command("...") to immediately
138                call back into owl.  This allows perl to get the return
139                value of strings returned by owl commands.
140        Added the getview command which returns the name of the current
141                view's filter. 
142        Added the getvar command which returns the value of a variable.
143        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses TAB to
144                narrow and restore the view. 
145        Added an example to examples/owlconf.erik which uses M-c to
146                color messages matching the current one green.
147       
1481.2.0-pre-1
149        Integrated change to fix problem with popup blinking on new zephyrs.
150        C-l and resizes will now refresh an open viewwin (eg, help).
151        Updated doc/code.txt to include info about filters, commands,
152                contexts, and keybindings.
153        Ooops.  "delete view" had accidentally been misbound to M-d.
154                Switched the binding back to M-D.
155        Exec commands cleaned up to not have buffer-size limitations
156                and to not mess up spaces.  exec also returns a string
157                of the output now.
158        Integrated changes from 1.1.3, and added docs for "zlocate -d"
159                and new show commands.
160        Show with arguments produces help on show.
161        Fix a bug in readconfig caught by efence (where we'd try to read before
162                the beginning of a string if it was empty).
163        The perl command doesn't do makemsg directly, but instead
164             returns the string and it will get printed if it
165             was run interactively.
166        New framework for command handling.
167        New framework for keymap handling.
168        Added commands for everything that is bound
169             to a key (do 'show commands' to get the full list).
170        Added 'multi' and '(' commands to allow multiple commands
171             to be specified on a line.             
172        Added user keybindings with bindkey command.
173        Added command aliases (eg, "alias foo bar").
174        Added undelete command that parallels the delete command.
175        Added additional options to delete command.
176        The reply command now takes arguments.
177        Added 'edit:insert-text' command.
178        Added 'show zpunts' to show active punt filters.
179        Added 'show variable <name>' and 'show variables'.
180        Added 'show command <name>' and 'show commands'.
181        Added 'show keymap <name>' and 'show keymaps'.
182        Added 'M-u' to undelete all messages in current view.
183        Fixed dotsend so that the zephyr will still send if there
184             is whitespace after the dot but not on the same line.
185             This should resolve an issue where dotsend wouldn't work
186             if you'd gone up and edited a zephyr.
187       
1881.1.3
189        'show subs' and 'show subscriptions' are now the same as 'getsubs'
190        zlocate now takes an optional -d argument

203        support @owl::fields as well as @fields
204        downcase class/inst filter names in auto filters

211        M-N behavies like M-n except that on class messages it narrows
212            to class and instance
213        line wrap earlier, to account for tabbing

309              a string not ending in a newline
310        Added 'X' keybinding which expunges and then switches to

329              and the owl_dict type.
330              These include regression tests.
331        Overhaul/rewrite of variable handling.  Variables are now managed
332              in an owl_vardict (in g.vars) which contains a dictionary
333              of owl_variable's.  Each owl_variable has dispatch functions
334              for validating values, setting it and getting it,
335              and for setting it to and from string values.
336              The variable.c file contains the list of variables.
337              Stubs for the owl_global_<varname>_get functions and friends
338              are generated from variable.c by stubgen.pl.
339              The help.c messages for variables now calls into variable.c
340              so all information about most variables is in one place.   
341        Cleaned out code from global.c and command.c that was made obselete
342              by variable overhaul.
343        The set command now takes a -q option to not log a message.
344        Fixed a bug where set and print with no arguments would
345              print "Undefined variable" in addition
346              to running owl_function_printallvars.
347        debug is now a variable that can be turned on and off.
348        Fixed mail,inbox message parsing in examples/owlconf.erik
349        Made zaway_msg and zaway_msg_default into variables
350        Changed owl_function_makemsg and owl_function_debugmsg
351               to use varargs (ie, so they can now take a format
352               string with args).
353        Don't allow " and \ characters in URLs with the "w" command.
354        Removed lots of build warnings.
355        Popwins are wider by default so help messages fit better.
356        Added an atokenize_free function.
357        Fixes to work with an older version of libzephyr.
358        Added dependencies on header files to Makefile.in
359        Added pageup and pagedown key bindings to message list

366              which enables this by default, but for now this allows
