# 1.6 14-Apr-2024 guenther

Delete support for the LESSOPEN and LESSCLOSE environment variables
aka the "Input Preprocessor": it's been a source for multiple
security bugs in the past as everything has to deal with handling
arbitrary filenames and generally resulted in multiple TOCTOU issues.
The base system never included a default LESSOPEN setting like some
Linux distributions did, but it's a suds-filled sink full of knives
to try to use safely.
