Release Notes for MHonArc ========================= <http://www.mhonarc.org/> Read the CHANGES document for changes that may affect you if you are a user of an earlier version of MHonArc. =========================================================================== ==> IMPORTANT IF UPGRADING FROM v2.1.x OR EARLIER: If you have archives created with v2.1.x, or earlier, you must update the archives before using versions v2.2, or later. To update your archives, you use the mha-dbedit program using the def-mime.mrc in the examples directory. For example: mha-dbedit -rcfile examples/def-mime.mrc \ -outdir /path/to/archive Make sure that the mhonarc you are using is v2.2, or later. Change the -rcfile and -outdir pathnames to reflect where you are running mhonarc and where your archive is located, respectively. Note, if your archives are using custom settings of MIMEFILTERS, MIMEARGS, and/or CHARSETCONVERTERS resources, you will need to create a variant version of def-mime.mrc (included in the examples directory) to include your settings and use the variant version when updating your archives. ==> If upgrading from v2.1.x, or earlier, any custom filters you have developed may need to modified. If your filter accessed some main variables, your filter will not operate properly. All variables that used to be in package "main" are no longer. The major variables are now in package "mhonarc". For example, $::OUTDIR is now $mhonarc::OUTDIR. See the MIMEFILTERS resource page for more information. ==> See the Warnings in the documentation for the HTMLEXT and MSGPREFIX resources before using them. ==> Occasionally, a new release of MHonArc may contain new MIME filters. See the CHANGES file to check if any new filters have been added. If you confirm that new filters have been added, and you want to apply them to your archives, you use the mha-dbedit program using the def-mime.mrc in the examples directory. For example: mha-dbedit -rcfile examples/def-mime.mrc \ -outdir /path/to/archive Note, if your archives are using custom settings of MIMEFILTERS, MIMEARGS, and/or CHARSETCONVERTERS resources, you will need to create a variant version of def-mime.mrc (included in the examples directory) to include your settings and use the variant version when updating your archives. =========================================================================== @(#) RELNOTES 00/04/24 00:20:38 Earl Hood, mhonarc@pobox.com
