2 Subject: [WIP] public-inbox 1.7.0
4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
5 Content-Disposition: inline
7 Another big release focused on multi-inbox search and scalability.
11 config file parsing is 2x faster with 50K inboxes
13 * read-only public-inbox-daemon (-httpd, -nntpd, -imapd):
15 libgit2 may be used via Inline::C to avoid hitting system pipe
16 and process limits. See public-inbox-tuning(7) manpage
19 * public-inbox-extindex
21 A new Xapian + SQLite index able to search across several inboxes.
22 This may be configured to replace per-inbox Xapian DBs,
23 (but not per-inbox SQLite indices) and speed up manifest.js.gz
26 See public-inbox-extindex-format(5) and
27 public-inbox-extindex(1) manpages for more details.
31 - startup is 6x faster with 50K inboxes if using -extindex
35 - mboxrd search results are returned in reverse Xapian docid order,
36 so more recent results are more likely to show up first
38 - d: and dt: search prefixes allow "approxidate" formats supported
41 - manifest.js.gz generation is ~25x faster with -extindex
43 * lei - local email interface
45 An experimental, subject-to-change, likely-to-eat-your-mail tool for
46 personal mail as well as interacting with public-inboxes on the local
47 filesystem or over HTTP(S). See lei(1), lei-overview(7), and other
48 lei-* manpages for details.
52 - IMAP and NNTP code shared with lei, fixing an off-by-one error
53 in IMAP synchronization for single-message IMAP folders.
55 - \Deleted and \Draft messages ignored for IMAP, as they are for
58 - IMAP and NNTP connection establishment (including git-credential
59 prompts) ordering is now tied to config file order.
63 * Rollbacks all the way to public-inbox 1.2.0 remain supported
67 * public-inbox-index switched to new internal IPC code shared
