+Subject: [ANNOUNCE] public-inbox 1.8.0
+Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2022 08:22:59 +0000
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
+Content-Disposition: inline
+Message-ID: <2022-04-23-public-inbox-1.8.0-released@finally>
+
+A minor release focused on bugfixes and minor improvements.
+Upgrades should happen transparently, but downgrading back to
+1.7.0 will likely cause problems for lei users (and only lei
+users).
+
+lei users may experience duplicate messages in Maildirs if attempting to
+downgrade from 1.8.0 to 1.7.x.  public-inbox-* tools are unaffected and
+may downgrade freely.
+
+Bugfixes:
+
+  Numerous test fixes thanks to NixOS developers.
+
+  Long-running daemons are more robust in case of corrupt blobs
+  or crashes of git-cat-file processes
+
+  PublicInbox::WWW: all CR are removed before LF, fixing display of
+  CR-CR-LF messages.
+
+  Solver supports SHA-256 code repositories (inbox and lei store support
+  is still pending).
+
+Internal updates:
+
+  Reduced dependencies on Inline::C for Linux users; Linux users may
+  now use lei with neither Inline::C nor Socket::MsgHdr installed.
+
+New features:
+
+  The --dangerous flag is now supported in public-inbox-index and
+  public-inbox-extindex to use the Xapian::DB_DANGEROUS flag for initial
+  indexes.  This may reduce SSD/HDD wear at the expense of disallowing
+  concurrency and data integrity in case of an unexpected shutdown.
+
