+Many internal improvements to improve the developer experience,
+long-term maintainability, ease-of-installation and compatibility.
+There are also several bugfixes.
-Many of the internal improvements focused on being able to avoid
-Perl startup time in tests. "make check" now runs about 50%
-faster than before, and the new "make check-run" can be around
-30% faster after being primed by "make check".

Most closures (anonymous subroutines) are purged from the
-nntpd, -httpd and WWW code paths to make checking for memory

- avoid memory leak from cyclic reference on SIGHUP
- fix documentation of publicinboxwatch.watchspam
-Release tarballs will be available for download at
+* public-inbox-convert:
+ - avoid article number jumps when converting indexed v1 inboxes
+
+* public-inbox-compact / public-inbox-xcpdb:
+ - concurrent invocations of -compact and -xcpdb commands,
