+Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2022 02:36:59 +0000
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
+Content-Disposition: inline
+Message-ID: <2022-08-21T023659Z-public-inbox-1.9.0-rele@sed>
+
+Upgrading:
+
+  lei users need to "lei daemon-kill" after installation to load
+  new code.  Normal daemons (read-only, and public-inbox-watch)
+  will also need restarts, of course, but there's no
+  backwards-incompatible data format changes so rolling back to
+  older versions is harmless.
+
+Major bugfixes:
+
+  * lei no longer freezes from inotify/EVFILT_VNODE handling,
+    user interrupts (Ctrl-C), nor excessive errors/warnings
+
+  * IMAP server fairness improved to avoid excessive blob prefetch
+
+New features:
+
+  * POP3 server support added, use either public-inbox-pop3d or
+    the new public-inbox-netd superserver
+
+  * public-inbox-netd superserver supporting any combination of HTTP,
+    IMAP, POP3, and NNTP services; simplifying management and allowing
+    more sharing of memory used for various data structures.
+
+  * public-inbox-httpd and -netd support per-listener .psgi files
+
+  * SIGHUP reloads TLS certs and keys in addition to config and .psgi files
+
+  * "lei reindex" command for lei users to update personal index
+    in ~/.local/share/lei/store for search improvements below:
+
+Search improvements:
+
+  These will require --reindex with public-inbox-index and/or
+  public-inbox-extindex for public inboxes.
+
+  * patchid: prefix search support added to WWW and lei for
+    "git patch-id --stable" support
+
+  * text inside base-85 binary patches is no longer indexed
+    to avoid false positives
+
+  * for lei users, "lei reindex" now exists and is required
+    to take advantage of aforementioned indexing changes
+
+Performance improvements:
+
+  * IMAP server startup is faster with many mailboxes when using
+    "public-inbox-extindex --all"
+
+  * NNTP group listings are also faster with many inboxes when
+    using "public-inbox-extindex --all"
+
+  * various small opcode and memory usage reductions
