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