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