Bugs Fixed:

  Bug ID  Summary
  ------  ------------------------------------------------------------
   4319   Order of list archive defs in lists.def not reflected in
	  procmail.mharc.
  ------  ------------------------------------------------------------
  <http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?group_id=1968
   &set=custom&advsrch=&msort=&report_id=105&go_report=Browse
   &category_id=110&fix_release=0.7.3&chunksz=50>

* lib/common.mrc.in.dist:
  . Changed the default value of BOOKMARK-LINK-LABEL custom resource
    variable to "Permanent&nbsp;Link".  This appears to be more
    descriptive and less ambiguous than "Bookmark&nbsp;Link".
    The resource variable name will stay the same for compatibility
    reasons.

+ lib/common.mrc.{da,en,pl}.in.dist:
  . Localized resource settings for common.mrc.  These replace
    the mrc/_lang* files.  These new files fit with the new Lang
    option for lib/lists.def that leverages the new LANG resource
    support in MHonArc (v2.6.7 and later) for providing easier
    localization management of archives.

  . The Polish localization is new to mharc and contributed by
    Bartosz Feski.

- lib/mrc/_lang_*.mrc.in.dist:
  . Removed (see previous item).

* bin/web-archive:
  . Added support for the following lists.def options:

      All-Lists-Name:	    Archive name to use in all-lists index
      Lang:		    Language of archive
			    (requires MHonArc v2.6.7 or later).
      Hide-From-All-Lists:  Do not list archive in all-lists index

    See the mk-procmailrc manpage for more information about these
    options.

* bin/mk-procmailrc:
  . Archives can now be defined solely by Procmail-Condition, without
    the requirement of defining an Address or From-Address option.

* etc/crontab.in.dist,
  etc/logrotate.conf.in.dist:
  . Sample logrotate(8) configuration file and template crontab entry
    added to facilitate mharc log file rotation.  Logrotate is provided
    under most linux distros and is widely used on Unix systems.

* etc/apache.conf.in.dist:
  + Added commented Alias directive for ROOT_URL.

===========================================================================
2003/04/07: v0.7.2

* bin/apply-config, bin/mh-month-pack:
  . Removed 'use Pod::Usage' statement.  It is required only when
    needed.  This should allow script execution on systems that do
    not have Pod::Usage installed (but user will not be able to get
    help from the command-line).

* bin/apply-config:
  . Minor change which should make apply-config run under older versions
    of Perl with older versions of File::Find module.

* cgi-bin/mnav.cgi.in.dist:
  . Https check added so redirect URL sent to client will start with
    'https://' if secure HTTP is being used (thanks to Jonathon Padfield
    for catching this).

* bin/mk-procmailrc:
  . Some optimization cleanup on procmailrc generation.

* bin/web-archive:
  . Added -keepsearch option to preserve the search index when
    -rebuild is specified.

* install.pl:
  . Added $HOME/libexec, /usr/lib/cgi-bin, and /usr/local/lib/cgi-bin
    paths when searching for namazu.cgi.

===========================================================================
2002/10/02: v0.7.1

* lib/lists.def, bin/mk-procmailrc, bin/web-archive:
  . Added support for Check-No-Archive for lists.def.
    The author can request no archiving should be done by defining
    one of the the following header fields:

      Restrict: no-external-archive
      X-no-archive: yes

    If Check-No-Archive is enabled, a message to the list with either
    field defined will not be archived.

* lib/mk-procmailrc:
  . Can now specify a mail address to receive all unmatched messages
    via the CATCH_ADDRESS config.sh variable.  This serves as a
    (better?) alternative to the .catch archive.

* bin/logcmd:
  . New script to help provide better logging of crontab commands.

* etc/crontab.in.dist:
  . Entries changed to use new logcmd script for dumping any command
    output to @@SW_ROOT@@/log/cron.log.

* lib/config.sh.in.dist:
  . Added CATCH_ADDRESS: Specify mail address to receive all unmatched
    messages.  If defined, it supercedes $CATCH_ARCHIVE.

===========================================================================
2002/09/28: v0.7.0

* Extracting the mharc distribution will now generate a directory
  called "mharc-X.X.X", where X.X.X is the version of mharc.  A new
  install script (see next change item) is now provided to install
  mharc into the location you desire.

  Existing users should be aware of that you no longer just extract
  a distribution in the location of your existing mharc installation
  to perform upgrades.  You will now extract in a temporary location,
  and then use the install script provided (see next change item)
  to upgrade an existing installation.

* install.pl:
  . New Perl installation program for mharc.  It should make the
    installation easier and more automated, and for new installations,
    it will preset some config.sh variables.

    NOTE: Not all installation steps can be automated, like crontab
    editing, web server configure, etc.  See the installation document
    for more information on the new installation process.

* bin/apply-config:
  . BUG FIX: Fixed handling of case when no directories are supplied
    on the command-line.  Cases where HTML_DIR, or other directory
    variables, are defined to pathnames not under $SW_ROOT are now
    handled.  Thanks to Eugene Eric Kim for spotting this problem.

* bin/filter-spool:
  . Updated to use new PROCMAIL, FORMAIL, and LOCKFILE variables
    representing the pathnames to the respective programs used by
    filter-spool.

* bin/web-archive:
  . BUG FIX: The ALL_LISTS_FILE variable in config.sh was not
    supported.  web-archive was looking up the wrong variable name.

* lib/config.sh.dist:
  . Added CGI_DIR variable to represent pathname to CGI bin directory
    (default value is $SW_ROOT/cgi-bin).  Various CGI variables now
    reference this variable in the default values.  CGI_DIR exists
    mainly for use by the new install.pl script.

  . Added PROCMAIL variable to represent pathname to procmail program.
  . Added LOCKFILE variable to represent pathname to lockfile program.
  . Added FORMAIL variable to represent pathname to formail program.

===========================================================================
2002/09/19: v0.6.4

* bin/web-archive:
  . BUG FIX: Changes to fix backdoor to raw mail messages for
    archives with No-Raw-Link enabled.  For archives with No-Raw-Link
    enabled, a file called ".noraw" will appear for the archives
    under the raw mailbox data.  This file is used by extract-mesg.cgi
    to determine if retrieval of original messages is allowed.

    Also, a .htaccess file will be created to deny access via direct
    HTTP access by a client for those that are using the Apache
    HTTP server with .htaccess support enabled.  If .htaccess is not
    supported (or you are using a non-Apache web server), you will need
    to modify the server configuration file directly to deny access.

  . Added support for localizing labels in all-lists archive listing
    table via new lib/config.sh variables.

* cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in.dist:
  . BUG FIX: Changes to fix backdoor to raw mail messages for
    archives with No-Raw-Link enabled.  In order to enable the new
    fixed version, you MUST do the following:

      prompt> rm cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in
      prompt> make configure

  . BUG FIX: Fixed regex pattern checking for valid period argument.
    Extraction of yearly-based archives should now work properly.

* lib/config.sh.dist:
  . Added the following variables to support localization of all-lists
    page (default values shown):

      ALL_LISTS_LABEL_NAME='Name'
      ALL_LISTS_LABEL_INDEXES='Current&nbsp;Index'
      ALL_LISTS_LABEL_LAST_UPDATED='Last&nbsp;Updated'
      ALL_LISTS_LABEL_INFO='[info]'
      ALL_LISTS_LABEL_DATE='[Date]'
      ALL_LISTS_LABEL_THREADS='[Thread]'
      ALL_LISTS_DATE_FORMAT='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

* lib/mrc/_lang_da.mrc.in.dist:
  . NEW: Danish localization file.  Thanks goto Lars Jorgensen for
    the contribution.

* lib/mrc/_nospam.mrc.in.dist:
  . Added definition of FIELDORDER to provide a minimal message header.
    This is to minimize the potential of addresses showing up in
    unexpected header fields.

* bin/config-check:
  . NEW: New script to dump expanded variable values of lib/config.sh
    to standard output.

* lib/MHArc/Config.pm:
  . A Perl cache file is now created to make subsequent loads faster.
    Hence, you will see a file called lib/config.sh.cache.pl appear.
    This file should not be edited.  The module auto-detects when
    lib/config.sh is modified.

* doc/:
  . Some documentation fixes and enhancements.
    
===========================================================================
2002/09/15: v0.6.3

* Makefile:
  . BUG FIX: Fixed bug with 'make configure' where mhonarc-check
    should be done after config.sh exists.

===========================================================================
2002/09/14: v0.6.2

* doc/:
  . NEW: HTML documentation now exists, including documentation for
    the scripts and modules and an updated, and improved, installation
    document.

    Existing mharc users are encouraged to read through the new
    documentation, especially the installation document, since some
    helpful new information has been added.

* bin/web-archive:
  . Added definition of $NMZ-SUBJECT-QUERY$ resource variable.  It
    expands to a namazu query string that will find all messages with
    the same subject as the current message.

    This variable is referenced in the updated lib/common.mrc.in.dist
    resource for use with the new  [More on this subject...] link
    at the end of the message body.

* lib/common.mrc.in.dist:
  . Added "[More on this subject...]" to message page layout that
    will provide a list of archive messages with the same subject as
    the current message.  This is an alternative navigational aid
    to discussion threads since it is not limited to the current
    period as thread listings are.

  . Some restructuring to support localization.  For an example on how
    localization can be done for a language, see
    lib/mrc/_lang_en.mrc.in.dist.

* etc/apache.conf.in.dist, etc/.htaccess.in.dist:
  . Added access denial to working/temporary ".newmail" file used by
    filter-spool.
  . apache.conf directives adjusted to separate cgi-bin into its own
    Directory directive to provide better granularity of access.

* lib/mrc/_lang_en.mrc.in.dist:
  . NEW: Includable resource file for English localization
    (defaults in common.mrc.in.dist are already in English, so this
    file mainly serves as a template for creating resource files
    for other languages).

* lib/mrc/_logo.mrc.in.dist:
  . NEW: Includable resource file to allow for the addition of
    a logo, or small image, at the top of archive pages.

* lib/mrc/_nosearch.mrc.in.dist:
  . NEW: Includable resource file for archives with searching disabled.

* lib/mrc/_nospam.mrc.in.dist:
  . NEW: Includable resource file for those who want to deter
    address harvesters.

* bin/*:
  . Programs in bin directory all perform a check if invoked in a
    CGI context.  If so, the program will abort execution.
    This is done to provide some extra security incase of server
    misconfiguration.

===========================================================================
2002/09/04: v0.6.1

* bin/extract-mesg-date:
  . Added check for new MSG_DATE_FIELDS config.sh variable denoting
    the message header fields to extract the date from.  The
    value of MSG_DATE_FIELDS is used if -datefields is not specified.

* bin/filter-spool:
  . If there is no mail in the spool, but .newmail exists,
    filter-spool will still process .newmail.  .newmail is the
    messages copied from the spool when filter-spool is executing.
    In the past, even if .newmail exists, no mail in the spool
    will cause filter-spool to exit.

* bin/web-archive:
  . Added check for MSG_DATE_FIELDS config.sh variable.  If set,
    its value will passed to MHonArc via the DATEFIELDS resource.
  . Define $MESG-CGI$ resource variable for use within MHonArc
    resource files.

* cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in.dist:
  . Internal changes so its uses new MHArc::CGI utility routines.
  . POD added.

* cgi-bin/mesg.cgi.in.dist:
  . NEW: New CGI program to extract a message from an archive based
    upon message-id.  This allows for persistent URLs to messages
    that are immune to archive rebuilds that could change MHonArc
    message numbers.

    This CGI is referenced in the updated lib/common.mrc.in.dist
    resource file via the $MESG-CGI$ resource variable.  It is
    used for the new [Bookmark Link] on message pages.

* cgi-bin/mnav.cgi.in.dist:
  . Added some sanity checks to argument input.
  . Internal changes so its uses new MHArc::CGI utility routines.
  . POD added.

* lib/common.mrc.in.dist:
  . Added "[Bookmark Link]" to message page layout to provide a
    persistent link to the message.  The link provided makes use
    of the new mesg.cgi CGI script.

* lib/config.sh.dist:
  . Added MSG_DATE_FIELDS: List of message header fields to extract
    the date for a message.
  . Added MESG_CGI: URL to persistent message reference CGI program
    (mesg.cgi).

* lib/MHArc/CGI.pm:
  . NEW: Shared CGI utility routines for mharc CGI scripts.

* lib/MHArc/MailUtil.pm:
  . extract_date() routine changed to handle indexed header fields
    in date fields argument.

    CAUTION: Only use indexed field specification if you are using
    a version of MHonArc *newer than* 2.5.11.  MHonArc v2.5.11,
    and earlier versions, do not support indexed fields for the
    DATEFIELDS resource.

* lib/MHArc/Namazu.pm:
  . NEW: Collection of routines related to Namazu.

===========================================================================
2002/08/26: v0.6.0

* bin/compress-files, bin/compress-mboxes:
  . BUG FIX: Added -mbox-mode to compress-files.  This is to fix a bug
    with compress-mboxes for archives that have yearly archives.
    If a mailbox is in YYYY format, a year is added to -mtime to
    determine if the file should be compressed.

* bin/web-archive:
  . NEW: Added auto-generation of all-lists index.  The index will
    contain the list of archives with links to the latest indexes
    and showing the last update time for each archive.

    The all-lists index file can be specified by the -alllistidx
    option or ALL_LISTS_INDEX lib/config.sh variable.  The default
    value is lists.html within the html/ archive directory.
    Equivalent options exists to set the URL to the file.

    Run web-archive program with -man option to view the manpage
    to get more information about this feature and other related
    options.

* lib/common.mrc.in.dist:
  . Several layout changes to provide a nicer appearance to archive
    pages.  Layout is now controled via stylesheet settings.
    Tags have been added with CLASS attributes to allow control
    of the visual appearance of pages without having to re-edit
    the pages.  An initial stylesheet (html/stylesheet.css.in.dist)
    has been provided with some default styles (more information
    about stylesheet below).

    Attempts have been made to keep pages usable with text-based
    browsers.  Table-aware browsers like w3m and links, handle
    the pages fine.  Lynx does not handle the tables well, but
    the pages should still be readable and usable with Lynx.

    To see an example of the layout style, you can checkout the
    mhonarc.org mailing lists at
    <http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/>.

    If you want to use the new layout, you must delete your local
    copy of "lib/common.mrc.in" and run "make configure".

* html/stylesheet.css.in.dist:
  . NEW: This is the main stylesheet controling the appearance
    of archive pages generated by MHArc.  Stylesheet settings are
    based upon the CSS2 specification.  The styles are supported by
    Netscape 6+, Mozilla, and Mozilla-based browsers.  Some styles
    appear to not work with IE6, however, the failures of IE6 do not
    affect the readability of pages.

* lib/mrc/_nothread.mrc.in.dist:
  . NEW: MHonArc resource file use by archives that have threads
    disabled, either by specifying -nothreads in the MHonArc-Options
    option in lib/lists.def for a list or by a list-specific resource
    file.

    NOTE: There is a feature in MHArc that has not been explicitly
	  documented that allows you to provide additional
	  MHonArc resource settings on a per-list archive basis.
	  In lib/config.sh is a variable called MHA_RC_DIR that
	  specifies the location of archive-specific resource files.
	  By default, it is "<mharc-root>/lib/mrc".  If you add a
	  file called "<list-name>.mrc", where "<list-name>" is the
	  name of the list as defined in lib/lists.def, MHArc will
	  pass that file to MHonArc when processing the HTML archive
	  for the list.

	  When creating a list-specific resource file, it is
	  recommended to create the file
	  "<mharc-root>/lib/mrc/<list-name>.mrc.in" and then run
	  "make configure".  This allows you to use lib/config.sh
	  variables (e.g. "@@HTML_URL@@") in your resource file.

    A way to reference _nothread.mrc in a resource file is to have
    the following in the ".in" template version of a list resource
    file:

      <Include>
      @@MHA_RC_DIR@@/_nothread.mrc
      </Include>

    When "make configure" is executed, the "@@MHA_RC_DIR@@" will get
    expanded to the pathname location where archive-specific resource
    files are kept.

* lib/config.sh.in.dist:
  . Added the following variables:

      # Pathname of archive lists index page.
      ALL_LISTS_FILE=$HTML_DIR/lists.html

      # Pathname of header template for archive lists index page.
      ALL_LISTS_HEADER=$HTML_DIR/.PNM.all-head

      # Pathname of header template for archive lists index page.
      ALL_LISTS_FOOTER=$HTML_DIR/.PNM.all-foot

      # Directory containing informational pages about each list archive.
      INFO_DIR=$SW_ROOT/info

      # Base URL containing informational pages about each list archive.
      INFO_URL=$ROOT_URL/info

    The INFO_DIR and INFO_URL are used when generating the
    all-lists index page.  They give the ability for you to create
    an informational page for each list archive.  Run web-archive
    program with -man option to view the manpage add read about the
    -infodir and -infourl options for more information.

* cgi-bin/template/NMZ.head.in.dist, html/.PNM.head.in.dist:
  . Minor change to labels for sorting search results by date.
    Newer labels should be clearer about the ordering of dates since
    previous wording can be ambiguous.

    If you want to use the newer versions, delete
    "cgi-bin/template/NMZ.head.in" and "html/.PNM.head.in" and run
    "make configure".

===========================================================================
2002/07/31: v0.5.1

* cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in.dist:
  . Changed returned media-type from message/rfc822 to text/plain.
    message/rfc822 is nice since some browsers can render it directly,
    but it does open potential XSS HTML email attacks.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: User upgrading are encouraged to delete
		    "cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in" and run 'make
		    configure' after extracting this release.  If you
		    really want the message/rfc822 behavior, you can
		    edit "cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in" and redefine
		    the $message_media_type variable.

* bin/mk-procmailrc:
  . Added -final-dest option: The destination of messages that make
    it to the end of the procmailrc.  Generally, this option can
    be ignored.

    Run mk-procmailrc program with -man option to view the manpage
    to get more information about this option.

* etc/apache.conf.in.dist:
  . Security related comments added.  Users are encourage to read
    if using etc/apache.conf.

* lib/config.sh.dist:
  . Added FINAL_MSG_DESTINATION variable to repesent destination
    mailbox for end rule in procmailrc (checked by mk-procmailrc if
    -final-dest not specified).

===========================================================================
2002/07/24: v0.5.0

* bin/mk-procmailrc
  . Added -out option that can be used to specify the name of
    the procmailrc file to generate.  If not specified, the PROCMAILRC
    variable in lib/config.sh is used.  Otherwise, the default value is
    "$SW_ROOT/procmailrc.mharc";

    IMPORTANT NOTE: This implies that the name of the main procmailrc
		    used by mharc has changed from
		    $SW_ROOT/.procmailrc.  This is to avoid potential
		    conflict with environments that use Procmail as a
		    local delivery agent and MHArc has been extracted
		    in the home directory of the archiving account.

		    If upgrading, all you should have to do is
		    invoke "make" to create the procmailrc with
		    the newer filename.  Then, you can remove the
		    old .procmailrc.

* bin/web-archive:
  . BUG FIX: Restored older semantics for $LIST-NAME$: It equals the
    list name as represented by the directory name for the list
    archives.  This change back only has an effect for complimentary
    CVS commit archives since the $LIST-NAME$ is used as the search
    index name.

    A new resource variable, $LIST-TITLE$, is used to represent the
    displayable list name.  For CVS commit archives, this variable
    will have the "[CVS] " prefix.

    In sum, everywhere the list name is used in links or form input
    elements, use $LIST-NAME$.  Anywhere else, $LIST-TITLE$ can
    be used.

  . Added $EXTRACT-CGI$ resource variable
    (see cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in.dist change entry below for
    more information).

* cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi.in.dist:
  . NEW: CGI program to extract original raw message.  It is intended
    to be used in HTML archive message pages to allow the reader to
    retrieve the original mail message.

    The file lib/common.mrc.in.dist has been modified to include
    an "[Original]" link on messages pages.  If you would like this
    feature in an existing mharc archive, you will need to edit
    your lib/common.mrc.in an add the link.  Here is the resource
    setting added to lib/common.mrc.in.dist:

    <TopLinks>
    <hr>
    $BUTTON(PREV)$$BUTTON(NEXT)$$BUTTON(TPREV)$$BUTTON(TNEXT)$[<a
    href="$IDXFNAME$#$MSGNUM$">Date Index</a>][<a
    href="$TIDXFNAME$#$MSGNUM$">Thread Index</a>][<a
    href="$EXTRACT-CGI$?a=$LIST-NAME:U$&amp;m=$CUR-PERIOD$&amp;i=$MSGID:U$"
    >Original</a>]
    </TopLinks>

* lib/config.sh.dist:
  . Added EXTRACT_CGI variable that represents URL to extract-mesg.cgi.
  . Added PROCMAILRC variable to define main procmailrc file used
    by bin/mk-procmailrc and bin/filter-spool.
  . Added ORGMAIL_LOCK_TIMEOUT to set lock timeout used by filter-spool.
  . Added LOG_DIR variable to represent location to place log files.

* lib/common.mrc.in.dist:
  . Replaced $LIST-NAME$ with $LIST-TITLE$ in MSGPGBEGIN resource.

* etc/apache.conf.in.dist, etc/.htaccess.conf.in.dist:
  . Added denial of files starting with "procmail".

* bin/apply-conf:
  . Explicitly remove group and other write bit on generated files
    that are executable.  This helps avoid Apache HTTP server suEXEC
    problems with CGI programs.

* bin/filter-spool:
  . Rewritten in Perl.  Run program with -man option to view manpage.

* bin/read-mail:
  . Rewritten in Perl.  Run program with -man option to view manpage.

===========================================================================
2002/07/19: v0.4.0

* bin/compress-mboxes:
  . FIX: Fixed handling of -n and -debug options.

* lib/config.sh.dist:
  . FIX: Default PROCMAIL_PATH setting uses $SW_ROOT/bin instead of
    $HOME/bin.  Installations should update local config.sh
    to reflect change.

  . Added MHONARC_LIB: Directory pathname to where MHonArc libraries
    are installed.  If MHonArc libraries are in a location not included
    in perl's library search path, this variable should be set to
    that location.

  . Added MSGID_CACHE_SIZE: Maximum size, in bytes, of msgid cache
    for detecting duplicate messages.

  . Reorganized file to put key variables at top of file and to
    provide a comment description before each variable.

* bin/mbox-month-pack:
  . NEW: New utility program for breaking up a mailbox file into
    monthly, or yearly, mailbox files.  This program can be useful
    for importing existing mailbox files into MHArc.  Run program with
    the -man option to view manpage.

* bin/mk-procmailrc:
  . Added support for "From-Address: " option in lists.def.  This
    option allows you to denote a list by the "From: " field of
    messages.  Run mk-procmailrc with -man option for more information.

  . "Cleaned-up" the procmailrc file generated.  The "Extraneous
    copy flag" warnings should be gone.  Also, rules changed to use
    new bin/extract-mesg-date to determine which raw mailbox to file
    to instead of the current time.  This insures that messages go
    into the proper period mailbox regardless of when incoming mail
    is processed.

* bin/extract-mesg-date:
  . NEW: New utility to print out the date of a message.  This
    program is mainly used in newer procmailrc format generated
    by mk-procmailrc.

===========================================================================
2002/07/08: v0.3.0

* mk-procmailrc:
  . Can now specify name of catch archive and if catch archive should
    be disabled via the CATCH_ARCHIVE and DISABLE_CATCH_ARCHIVE config.sh
    variables.

  . POD added to script along with -help and -man options to display
    usage information.

* web-archive:
  . Added check for <!--x-search-form--> and <!--/x-search-form-->
    comment declarations in period index header/footer templates:
    .PNM.head.in and .PNM.foot.in.  If an archive is designated
    to not have searching enabled, any markup between these two
    comments will be stripped out when generating the period index.

    If upgrading, and if you are using the default .PNM.*.in files,
    you will need to delete them so the newer versions with the above
    comments will be applied.  If you have customized versions of
    .PNM.*.in files, you will need to add the above comments around
    the search form markup if you want the form to not appear in the
    top period indexes for non-searchable archives.

  . CVS commit archive of a list properly uses list options defined
    in lib/lists.def.

  . Short title of CVS commit archives has changed from
    "<list-name>.CVS" to "[CVS] <list-name>".

* bin/compress-files:
  . Add POD.  Execute './bin/compress-files -man' to view
    documentation.

* bin/compress-mboxes:
  . Converted to Perl.  POD added along with some command-line options.
    Execute './bin/compress-mboxes -man' to view documentation.

* bin/gc-search-indexes
  . Converted to Perl.  POD added along with some command-line options.
    Execute './bin/gc-search-indexes -man' to view documentation.

* etc/apache.conf.in.dist:
  . Updated to add <File> directives to deny access to various files
    that you may not want visible to the public.

* etc/.htaccess.in.dist:
  . NEW: Contains the same <File> directives added to
    etc/apache.conf.in.dist.  This file is useful if you do not have
    write access to Apache's main configuration file.

    The .htaccess file generated after 'make configure' can be copied
    into the root install directory, or better, create a symlink
    to it from the root by executing the following command in the
    root install directory.

      ln -s ./etc/.htaccess

* Makefile:
  . Added editrootidx target: Rebuild top period indexes only.

===========================================================================
2002/05/30: v0.2.2

* apply-config: Modified interaction with File::Find module so it
  will work with older versions that do not support the -no_chdir
  option.

===========================================================================
2002/05/24: v0.2.1

* mk-procmailrc: Fixed bug where setting an archive to a Period of
  a year had no effect: archive would have a monthly period.

===========================================================================
2002/05/22: v0.2.0

* web-archive: Added -mharcdir option to specify location of list
  specific resource files.  If the file <-mharcdir>/<list-name>.mrc
  exists, it will be passed into mhonarc, after common.mrc.

* web-archive: Added support for additional mhonarc options to be
  specified in lists.def by defining the MHonArc-Options field.

* web-archive: If the No-Search lists.def field is set to 1 for
  a list, then searching will be disabled for the archive: no search
  index will be created and the $SEARCH-FORM$ custom resource variable
  will be set to the empty string.

* web-archive: Changed some of the default pathname values of some
  options.  In sum, default pathnames that include "../archive/.."
  had the "archive/" component removed.

* web-archive: The following resource variables set have different
  names:

    $MNAV-CGI$  => $PNAV-CGI$
    $CUR-MONTH$ => $CUR-PERIOD$

  The old names are still set for backwards compatibility.

* web-archive: The "[Raw]" link on the top index page of a list
  archive is now "[mbox]".  Also, it will show the size of the mbox
  in bytes and if the mbox is gzipped.

* lib/common.mrc.in.dist:

  . Removed options in MIMEARGS that could cause security problems.
    Users can add options that fit their level of comfort.

  . Added definition of $PREV-PERIOD-LABEL$ and $NEXT-PERIOD-LABEL$
    which are defined as "Prev&nbsp;Period" and "Next&nbsp;Period",
    respectively.

    These variables are used for the next/prev period links on the
    index pages.  Note, these values are a change from the
    "Prev&nbsp;Month" and "Next&nbsp;Month".

  . The next/prev resource variables for the next/prev period links
    have different names:

      $NEXT-MONTH-LINK$ => $NEXT-PERIOD-LINK$
      $PREV-MONTH-LINK$ => $PREV-PERIOD-LINK$

* read-mail:  Added explicit "exit 0" at end of script.  This is
  to avoid a bogus non-zero exit status of filter-spool finds nothing
  to do.

===========================================================================
2002/02/14: v0.1.3

* web-archive: Went back to calling namazu for each list folder
  processed.  The change in v0.1.2 defeats the ability to conserve
  resources by keeping namazu from re-indexing the entire list
  each time.

* web-archive: Check status of mhonarc processing.

* web-archive: Skip search index update if no new messages added.

===========================================================================
2002/02/14: v0.1.2

* Added new program 'mh-month-pack' that can process MH/nmh folders
  and copy messages into monthly-based mailbox files.  Although this
  program is not used by default by MHArc archiving system, it can
  be used to customize MHArc to work with MH/nmh-based setups.

* Updated web-archive to only call namazu once on all archive
  folders changed for a list instead of calling it for each archive
  folder processed.  Also added a cleanup check on namazu to make
  sure it does not leave a stale lock around.

===========================================================================
2002/02/11: v0.1.1

* BUG FIX: Fixed regex generation bug in mk-procmailrc where ()'s
  were not matched.

===========================================================================
2002/02/11: v0.1.0

First tagged release of mharc.  Code imported into CVS from the RCS
files used previously.  The following changes exist in this release:

* Mailing list definition file can now be specified in lib/config.sh.

* BUG FIX: Fixed bug in mk-procmailrc that created duplicate
  recipies for lists defined with multiple addresses.

* The Description: option in lists.def is now used as the title
  for archive index pages.

* Added No-Raw-Link: boolean option in lists.def.  It can be used
  to specify that a links to the raw archive data should not be
  made in the main period index of a list archive.

* Added new variable $LIST-DESC$ for .PNM.head and .PNM.foot
  process for main period index generation.  The variable will
  expand to the Description: value in lists.def.  If no
  description available, it will expand to the list name.

* read-mail will source .env.sh in same directory if it exists.
  It is an easy way to sent envariables needed for the archiving
  process to run properly.

* Modified distribution bundle creation to fit in with internal
  project release process.
