+Subject: [ANNOUNCE] public-inbox 1.2.0
+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
+  - fix several RFC3977 compliance bugs
+  - improved interopability with picky clients such as leafnode
+    and Alpine
+
+* public-inbox-watch
+  - support multiple spam training directories
+  - support mapping multiple inboxes per Maildir
+  - List-ID header support (see "listid" in public-inbox-config(5))
+
+* public-inbox-mda
+  - List-ID header support (see above)
+
+* PublicInbox::WWW
+  - grokmirror-compatible manifest.js.gz endpoint generation
+  - 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
+
+* workaround memory leaks on Perl 5.16.3 (on CentOS/RHEL 7.x)
