dbiff: biff+comsat without comsat 1.4 (8 October 2004): Documentation updates that I forgot to add for the 1.0 branch. Also updated the version number, since I forgot that, too. 1.3 (28 May 2004): Fixed another bug in qbiff_readmsg(); this one was causing the From: address to be lost if the subject line came first and was longer than a line. 1.2 (15 May 2004): Fixed a bug in qbiff_readmsg() that was chopping the last character off of message lines. 1.1 (9 May 2004): Fixed some bugs in get_line(). This only makes a difference if you receive emails with lines more than 8192 characters long. 1.0 (28 March 2004): I got a patch and an idea from Moshe, so I rewrote the whole thing. dbiff is now stronger, faster, better, &c, and also supports the FreeBSD "biff b" mode, as well as a flag for sending biff messages only to the most recently active terminal. Thanks to Moshe Jacobson (runslinux.net) for the idle patch as well as informing me about biff b. I added bigass array and some sorting to his idle checking, so dbiff will deliver messages even if mail arrives while you're closing a window. Hooray. On autoconf, it's mainly for that utmp thing. The utmp handling I had before was an afterthought and a horrible hack, and despite it's shortcomings, the fact that I spent 5 times as much time writing m4 as I did C, and the fact that I'm running a ginormous configure script to compile an average of 2.5 files, I think that autoconf is the best solution for such a problem. On automake, it's because I hate you. Or for consistency. Take your pick.
