12 lei users need to "lei daemon-kill" after installation to load
13 new code. Normal daemons (read-only, and public-inbox-watch)
14 will also need restarts, of course, but there's no
15 backwards-incompatible data format changes so rolling back to
16 older versions is harmless.
20 * lei no longer freezes from inotify/EVFILT_VNODE handling,
21 user interrupts (Ctrl-C), nor excessive errors/warnings
23 * IMAP server fairness improved to avoid excessive blob prefetch
27 * POP3 server support added, use either public-inbox-pop3d or
28 the new public-inbox-netd superserver
30 * public-inbox-netd superserver supporting any combination of HTTP,
31 IMAP, POP3, and NNTP services; simplifying management and allowing
32 more sharing of memory used for various data structures.
34 * public-inbox-httpd and -netd support per-listener .psgi files
36 * SIGHUP reloads TLS certs and keys in addition to config and .psgi files
38 * "lei reindex" command for lei users to update personal index
39 in ~/.local/share/lei/store for search improvements below:
43 These will require --reindex with public-inbox-index and/or
44 public-inbox-extindex for public inboxes.
46 * patchid: prefix search support added to WWW and lei for
47 "git patch-id --stable" support
49 * text inside base-85 binary patches are no longer indexed
50 to avoid false positives
52 * for lei users, "lei reindex" now exists and is required
53 to take advantage of aforementioned indexing changes
55 Performance improvements:
57 * IMAP server startup is faster with many mailboxes when using
58 "public-inbox-extindex --all"
60 * NNTP group listings are also faster with many inboxes when
61 using "public-inbox-extindex --all"
63 * various small opcode and memory usage reductions
