I'm thinking there should be a release soonish. The memory
usage reduction in WWW seems well worth it.

There will probably be a 1.4 release in a few days...

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
+This release focuses on reproducibility improvements and
+bugfixes for corner-cases. Busy instances of PublicInbox::WWW
+may also notice memory usage reductions.
+
+Rare messages lacking Date and/or Received headers, mirrors now
+fallback to using the git author/commit times to reindex those
+messages to ensure search and filtering queries behave the same
+in mirrors as they do on the original machine.
+
+"altid" SQLite dumps are now accessible to all over the WWW
+interface via `POST /$INBOX/$ALTID.sql.gz'.
+
+Busy instances of PublicInbox::WWW (whether via
+public-inbox-httpd or another PSGI server) may notice
+significant memory usage reductions from the single message
+"permalink" lifetime optimization. There also ongoing work to
+improve memory lifetime management to reduce the potential for
+memory fragmentation in daemons.
+
+* general changes:
+
+ - `include.*' directives in the public-inbox-config(5) file
+ are now honored as documented in git-config(1),
+ thanks to Andreas Rottmann.
+
+ - `+0000' is assumed for dates missing TZ offsets;
+ thanks to Leah Neukirchen for spotting this regression from
+ v1.2.0.
+
+ - `<' and `>' characters are dropped to avoid errors in git
+ in addresses for git, thanks again to Leah for noticing
+ this long-standing bug.
+
* PublicInbox::WWW:
+
- reduced memory use for single message "permalink" view
+ - code preload improved to reduce memory fragmentation
- remove redundant "a=" parameter in links to solver
- escape '&' in hrefs properly
- fix optional address obfuscation in search results
+ - `POST /$INBOX/$ALTID.sql.gz' endpoint to retrieve SQLite dumps
+
+* public-inbox-httpd + public-inbox-nntpd:
+
+ - fix SIGUSR2 upgrade in worker-less instances (-W0)
+
+* public-inbox-httpd:
+
+ - fix RFC 7230 conformance when Content-Length and "chunked"
+ are both specified
+
+* public-inbox-index:
+
+ - reproduce original date and time stamps in mirrors for messages
+ lacking Date: and/or Received: headers
+
+ - new `--compact' (or `-c') switch to perform the equivalent of
+ public-inbox-compact(1) after indexing each inbox
+
+* documentation:
+
+ - Documentation/technical/data_structures.txt add for new hackers.
