6 Many internal improvements to improve the developer experience
7 and long-term maintainability.
9 Some of the internal improvements involve avoiding Perl startup
10 time in tests. "make check" now runs about 50% faster than
11 before, and the new "make check-run" can be around 30% faster
12 than "make check" after being primed by "make check".
14 Most closures (anonymous subroutines) are purged from the
15 -nntpd, -httpd and WWW code paths to make checking for memory
18 * documentation now builds on BSD make
20 * Date::Parse (TimeDate CPAN distribution) is now optional, allowing
21 installation from OpenBSD systems via "pkg".
23 * the work-in-progress Xapian.pm SWIG bindings are now supported
24 in addition to the traditional Search::Xapian XS bindings.
25 Only the SWIG bindings are packaged for OpenBSD.
27 * Plack is optional for users who wish to avoid web-related components
29 * Filesys::Notify::Simple is optional for non-watch users
30 (but Plack will pull it in)
32 * improved internal error checking and reporting in numerous places
34 * IPC::Run is no longer used in tests
36 * Email::Address::XS used if available (newer Email::MIME
37 requires it), it should handle more corner cases.
40 - "nested" search results page now shows relevancy percentages
41 - many solver bugs fixed
42 - solver works on "-U0" patches using "git apply --unidiff-zero"
43 - solver now compatible with git < v1.8.5 (but >= v1.8.0)
44 - raw HTML no longer shown inline in multipart/alternative messages
46 - reduced memory usage for displaying multipart messages
47 - static file responses support Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since
48 - avoid trailing underlines in diffstat linkification
50 * public-inbox-httpd / public-inbox-nntpd:
51 - MSG_MORE used consistently in long responses
52 - fixed IO::KQueue usage on *BSDs
53 - listen sockets are closed immediately on graceful shutdown
54 - missed signals avoided with signalfd or EVFILT_SIGNAL
57 Y2020 workaround for Time::Local
60 - avoid memory leak from cyclic reference on SIGHUP
61 - fix documentation of publicinboxwatch.watchspam
