7 This release focuses on reproducibility improvements and
8 bugfixes for corner-cases. Busy instances of PublicInbox::WWW
9 may also notice memory usage reductions.
11 Rare messages lacking Date and/or Received headers, mirrors now
12 fallback to using the git author/commit times to reindex those
13 messages to ensure search and filtering queries behave the same
14 in mirrors as they do on the original machine.
16 "altid" SQLite dumps are now accessible to all over the WWW
17 interface via `POST /$INBOX/$ALTID.sql.gz'.
19 Busy instances of PublicInbox::WWW (whether via
20 public-inbox-httpd or another PSGI server) may notice
21 significant memory usage reductions from the single message
22 "permalink" lifetime optimization. There also ongoing work to
23 improve memory lifetime management to reduce the potential for
24 memory fragmentation in daemons.
28 - `include.*' directives in the public-inbox-config(5) file
29 are now honored as documented in git-config(1),
30 thanks to Andreas Rottmann.
32 - `+0000' is assumed for dates missing TZ offsets;
33 thanks to Leah Neukirchen for spotting this regression from
36 - `<' and `>' characters are dropped to avoid errors in git
37 in addresses for git, thanks again to Leah for noticing
38 this long-standing bug.
42 - reduced memory use for single message "permalink" view
43 - code preload improved to reduce memory fragmentation
44 - remove redundant "a=" parameter in links to solver
45 - escape '&' in hrefs properly
46 - fix optional address obfuscation in search results
47 - `POST /$INBOX/$ALTID.sql.gz' endpoint to retrieve SQLite dumps
49 * public-inbox-httpd + public-inbox-nntpd:
51 - fix SIGUSR2 upgrade in worker-less instances (-W0)
55 - fix RFC 7230 conformance when Content-Length and "chunked"
60 - reproduce original date and time stamps in mirrors for messages
61 lacking Date: and/or Received: headers
63 - new `--compact' (or `-c') switch to perform the equivalent of
64 public-inbox-compact(1) after indexing each inbox
68 - Documentation/technical/data_structures.txt add for new hackers.
