2 Subject: [WIP] public-inbox 1.2.0
4 * first non-pre/rc release with v2 format support for scalability.
5 See public-inbox-v2-format(5) manpage for more details.
7 * new admin tools for v2 inboxes:
8 - public-inbox-convert - converts v1 to v2 repo formats

10 - public-inbox-purge - purges entire messages out of v2 history
11 - public-inbox-edit - edits sensitive data out messages from v2 history
12 - public-inbox-xcpdb - copydatabase(1) wrapper to upgrade Xapian formats
13 (e.g. from "chert" to "glass") and resharding
16 * SQLite3 support decoupled from Xapian support, and Xapian DBs may be
17 configured without phrase support to save space. See "indexlevel" in
18 public-inbox-config(5) manpage for more info.

40 - BOFHs may set default colors via "publicinbox.css"
41 (see public-inbox-config(5))
42 - ability to map git code repositories and run cgit
43 (see "coderepo" and "cgitrc" in public-inbox-config(5))
44 - able to recreate blobs with coderepo associations and Xapian
45 - search results may be reversed
46 - reduce memory usage when rendering large threads
47 - syntax highlighting for patches and blobs
49 * public-inbox-httpd / public-inbox-nntpd:
50 - lower memory usage in C10K scenarios
51 - buffers slow clients to filesystem (TMPDIR) instead of RAM
52 - improved FreeBSD support
53 - Danga::Socket is no longer a runtime dependency
55 * many documentation updates, new manpages for:
56 - PublicInbox::SaPlugin::ListMirror
