9 Many internal improvements to improve the developer experience,
10 long-term maintainability, ease-of-installation and compatibility.
11 There are also several bugfixes.
13 Some of the internal improvements involve avoiding Perl startup
14 time in tests. "make check" now runs about 50% faster than
15 before, and the new "make check-run" can be around 30% faster
16 than "make check" after being primed by "make check".
18 Most closures (anonymous subroutines) are purged from the
19 -nntpd, -httpd and WWW code paths to make checking for memory
22 * documentation now builds on BSD make
24 * Date::Parse (TimeDate CPAN distribution) is now optional, allowing
25 installation from OpenBSD systems via "pkg".
27 * the work-in-progress Xapian.pm SWIG bindings are now supported
28 in addition to the traditional Search::Xapian XS bindings.
29 Only the SWIG bindings are packaged for OpenBSD.
31 * Plack is optional for users who wish to avoid web-related components
33 * Filesys::Notify::Simple is optional for non-watch users
34 (but Plack will still pull it in)
36 * improved internal error checking and reporting in numerous places
38 * fixed Perl 5.10.1 compatibility (tested with Devel::PatchPerl)
40 * IPC::Run and XML::Feed are no longer used in tests,
41 though XML::TreePP becomes an optional test dependency.
43 * Email::Address::XS used if available (newer Email::MIME
44 requires it), it should handle more corner cases.
47 - "nested" search results page now shows relevancy percentages
48 - many solver bugs fixed
49 - solver works on "-U0" patches using "git apply --unidiff-zero"
50 - solver now compatible with git < v1.8.5 (but >= v1.8.0)
51 - raw HTML no longer shown inline in multipart/alternative messages
53 - reduced memory usage for displaying multipart messages
54 - static file responses support Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since
55 - avoid trailing underlines in diffstat linkification
56 - more consistent handling of messages without Subjects
58 * public-inbox-httpd / public-inbox-nntpd:
59 - MSG_MORE used consistently in long responses
60 - fixed IO::KQueue usage on *BSDs
61 - listen sockets are closed immediately on graceful shutdown
62 - missed signals avoided with signalfd or EVFILT_SIGNAL
63 - Linux x32 ABI support
66 - Y2020 workaround for Time::Local
69 - avoid memory leak from cyclic reference on SIGHUP
70 - fix documentation of publicinboxwatch.watchspam
72 * public-inbox-convert:
73 - avoid article number jumps when converting indexed v1 inboxes
75 * public-inbox-compact / public-inbox-xcpdb:
76 - concurrent invocations of -compact and -xcpdb commands,
77 not just -mda, -watch, -learn, -purge
79 * examples/unsubscribe.milter:
80 - support unique mailto: unsubscribe
