[nail-devel] Announcing S-nail v13

[Steffen D. N. <sd...@gm...>]

Hello list,

i'm hereby announcing the release of S-nail(1) v13.  I have
uploaded the files s-nailv13.tar.gz and linked s-nail.tar.gz, and
i hope Sourceforge will make them accessible at some time, too :)
The digests are

  SHA1(s-nailv13.tar.gz)= 2360408b26256f5a3e7412d05a5615bc1e8b1bd9
  MD5(s-nailv13.tar.gz)= 7d5e02f07af6ea70555d31cc574e2e9a

It follows the NEWS entry for v13, thanks to all who helped
pushing this old lady forward a bit!

v13, 2012-10-25
---------------

I want to give prominence to the following people that helped to improve
S-nail(1) during this development cycle, in order of appearance: Martin
Neitzel, Ezequiel Garz=0n=0nn, Bj=0n=0hrn Persson, Paul Vojta, and, especially,
John Dodson for warm words from beautiful Australia!  Many thanks also
to Christos Zoulas.

After i've officially forked nail(1) aka Heirloom mailx(1) as S-nail(1)
on 2012-09-18 i have been able to work five weeks almost fulltime on
S-nail(1) development.  The first three weeks can be characterized as
hectic fireworks here and there, but then it got better and i was able
to work more or less topic-centric.  In the meanwhile S-nail(1) is more
than 230 commits away from the Heirloom base--and drifting further apart.

S-nail(1) v13 is the first release of S-nail(1), but it was forked from
Heirloom mailx(1) 12.5 7/5/10 that arose from Berkeley Mail 8. unless
i'm mistaken.  What characterizes S-nail(1) v13?

- The build system has been reworked almost completely.
  It is possible to fine-tune which features should be present in the
  binary and which don't.  The name of the binary can be chosen, and
  that choice is reflected all through the manual and the template
  resource file.  The manual is always complete and thus may document
  features that are not supported by the actual binary, though.
  Please see INSTALL for more.

- Compiler warnings can now be used.  Please see the example WARN= flags
  in the Makefile, but '-Wall -Wextra -pedantic' should be silent though
  certainly insufficient to reflect the complex work of modern compilers.

- The following recipient address list combines some of the major
  improvements that have been made:
