Subject: [WIP] public-inbox 1.6.0
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: inline

* General changes:

  - ~/.cache/public-inbox/inline-c is automatically used for Inline::C
    if it exists.  PERL_INLINE_DIRECTORY in env remains supported
    and prioritized to support `nobody'-type users without HOME.

  - msgmap.sqlite3 uses journal_mode=TRUNCATE, matching over.sqlite3
    behavior for a minor reduction in VFS traffic

  - message/{rfc822,news,global} attachments are decoded recursively
    and indexed for search.  Use `public-inbox-index --reindex' to
    ensure these attachments are indexed in old messages.

  - inbox.lock (v2) and ssoma.lock (v1) files are written to by
    on message delivery (or spam removal) to wake up read-only
    daemons via inotify or kqueue.

* public-inbox-index

  - --batch-size=BYTES or publicinbox.indexBatchSize parameter

  - parallelize v2 updates by default, "-j0" is (once again) allowed
    to disable parallelization

  - v1 (re-)indexing parallelizes blob reads from git

* public-inbox-learn

  - `rm' supports `--all' to remove from all configured inboxes

* public-inbox-imapd

  - new read-only IMAP daemon similar to public-inbox-nntpd

* public-inbox-nntpd

  - blob reads from git are handled asynchronously

* public-inbox-httpd

  - Plack::Middleware::Deflater is no longer loaded by default
    when no .psgi file is specified; PublicInbox::WWW gzips
    natively (see below)

* PublicInbox::WWW

  - use consistent blank line around attachment links

  - Attachments in message/{rfc822,news,global} messages can be
    individually downloaded.  Downloading the entire message/rfc822
    file in full remains supported

  - $INBOX_DIR/description is treated as UTF-8

  - HTML, Atom, and text/plain responses are gzipped without
    relying on Plack::Middleware::Deflater

  - Multi-message endpoints (/t.mbox.gz, /T/, /t/, etc) are ~10% faster
    when running under public-inbox-httpd with asynchronous blob
    retrieval

* public-inbox-watch

  - Linux::Inotify2 or IO::KQueue is used directly,
    Filesys::Notify::Simple is no longer required
