release 4.9.0

* some mailboxes/directories can be skipped, using a regular
  expression, while archiving (Thanks to Buck Holsinger).
* the TMP_DIR environment variable was renamed to ARCHMBOX_TMP_DIR.
* the list mode's output is no longer generated using perl formats.
  This fixes some problems that may sometimes arise when archmbox is
  piped trough a pager (bug 1115657 reported by Buck Holsinger).
* option -n was removed.

release 4.8.0

* option to use the "Date:" header to age messages was added (thanks
  to Laurent Cheylus).
* minor code cleanups and output improvements.

release 4.7.0:

* mailboxes smaller than a specified size can be exempt from
  archiving (Thanks to Buck Holsinger).
* symbolic links can be skipped (Thanks to Buck Holsinger).
* options -t and -p now require full path (bug 961406 reported by Buck
  Holsinger).
* "Folder internal data message" is no longer counted.
* mailbox related warnings can be skipped.
* the name of the archive mailbox is printed (Thanks to Terry Brown).
* an overall summary of the archiving process is available.
* other bug fixes and code improvements (Thanks to Wojcieck Scigala and
  others).

release 4.6.0:

* temporary working mailboxes are always removed if archmbox exits
  abnormally.
* a warn is issued when a mailbox is empty (Thanks to Juergen Edner).
* "Folder internal data" message is always skipped during archiving.
* few things were tweaked to allow archmbox to run under CygWin on
  Windows platforms (Thanks to Jayanth Varma).

  a replacement for fuser (Thanks to Nicolas Ecarnot and Brian Medley).
* regexp archiving can be performed on any header.
* flagged and unread messages can be skipped.
* a new copy mode was added. Messages can be copied from the source
  mailbox without actually modify it (Thanks to Jayanth Varma).
* a configurable prefix can be omitted from the mailbox name when full
  name is requested for the archive mailbox (Thanks to Jayanth Varma).
* archiving can be refined specifying a time value (Thanks to Jayanth
  Varma).
* no extension can be requested for the archive mailbox if desired
  (Thanks to Jayanth Varma).
* some bug fixes and code cleanup.

release 4.5.2:

* option -t was added; this option lets you specify the temporary
  working directory to use and overrides the value specified at
  installation time or the one hard coded in the script (Thanks to
  Nicolas Ecarnot).
* more checks for the return codes of shell helpers were added. This
  fixes bug 901359 (reported and fixed by Nicolas Ecarnot).

  process under some circumstances was fixed (bug 872838:

  are printed along with all the usual informations

release 4.3.0:

* running mode must be specified, as archmbox doesn't consider
  "archive" mode as default any longer
* support for kill mode was added. With this mode, messages are
  simply deleted from the original mailbox(es) (Thanks to Scott
  Thompson)
* mailboxes handling was improved; binary files are skipped
* help and documentation were improved
* minor bugs were fixed

release 4.2.0:

* regular expression based messages archiving (beside the

  regexp rules on arbitrary field. Getoptions routine does
  not support stacked variables, so you cannot do regexp on
  multiple fields at once (regexp is *case insensitive*, and
  fields can be: from, envelope, sender, messageid, date,
  xmailer, to, subject or type).
* we no more link /usr/bin/archmbox to
  /usr/local/bin/archmbox at installation point.
