+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
+Message-ID: <20191103030500.public-inbox-1.2.0@released>
+
+* first non-pre/rc release with v2 format support for scalability.
+ See public-inbox-v2-format(5) manpage for more details.
+
+* new admin tools for v2 inboxes:
+ - public-inbox-convert - converts v1 to v2 repo formats
+ - public-inbox-compact - v2 convenience wrapper for xapian-compact(1)
+ - public-inbox-purge - purges entire messages out of v2 history
+ - public-inbox-edit - edits sensitive data out messages from v2 history
+ - public-inbox-xcpdb - copydatabase(1) wrapper to upgrade Xapian formats
+ (e.g. from "chert" to "glass") and resharding
+ of v2 inboxes
+
+* SQLite3 support decoupled from Xapian support, and Xapian DBs may be
+ configured without phrase support to save space. See "indexlevel" in
+ public-inbox-config(5) manpage for more info.
+
+* codebase now uses Perl 5.10.1+ features (e.g. "//")
+
+* public-inbox-nntpd
+ - support STARTTLS and NNTPS
+ - support COMPRESS extension

+ - user-configurable color support in $INBOX_URL/_/text/color/
+ - BOFHs may set default colors via "publicinbox.css"
+ (see public-inbox-config(5))
+ - ability to map git code repositories and run cgit
+ (see "coderepo" and "cgitrc" in public-inbox-config(5))
+ - able to recreate blobs with coderepo associations and Xapian
+ - search results may be reversed
+ - reduce memory usage when rendering large threads
+ - syntax highlighting for patches and blobs
+
+* public-inbox-httpd / public-inbox-nntpd:
+ - lower memory usage in C10K scenarios
+ - buffers slow clients to filesystem (TMPDIR) instead of RAM
+ - improved FreeBSD support
+ - Danga::Socket is no longer a runtime dependency
+
+* many documentation updates, new manpages for:
+ - PublicInbox::SaPlugin::ListMirror
+ - public-inbox-init
+ - public-inbox-learn
+
