2023-09-11	treewide: favor Xapian (SWIG binding) over Search::Xapian
	The Xapian SWIG bindings are favored by Xapian upstream for ease-of-maintenance compared to the XS version. While Debian lags on this front, the SWIG bindings are widely available on all *BSDs.
2021-01-01	update copyrights for 2021
	Using "make update-copyrights" after setting GNULIB_PATH in my config.mak
2020-12-09	rename {pi_config} fields to {pi_cfg}
	{pi_config} may be confused with the documented `PI_CONFIG' environment variable, and we'll favor vowel-removal to be consistent with our usage of object references. The `pi_' prefix may stay in some places, for now; since a separate namespace may come into this codebase for local/private client-tooling. For InboxIdle, we'll also remove an invalid comment about holding a reference to the PublicInbox::Config object, too.
2020-09-03	search: replace ->query with ->mset
	Nearly all of the search uses in the production code rely on a Xapian mset iterator being returned (instead of an array of $smsg objects). So default to returning the mset and move the burden of smsg array conversion into the test cases.
2020-06-08	index: v2: parallel by default
	InboxWritable should only set $v2w->{parallel} if the $parallel flag is defined to 0 or 1. We want indexing a new inbox to utilize SMP, just like --reindex. -index once again allows -j0/--jobs=0 to force single-process use, and we'll be ensuring that works in tests to maintain performance on small systems. Fixes: 61a2fff5b34a3e32 ("admin: move index_inbox over")
2020-05-09	remove most internal Email::MIME usage
	We no longer load or use Email::MIME outside of comparison tests.
2020-04-20	testcommon: spawn-aware system() and qx[] workalikes
	Barely noticeable on Linux, but this gives a 1-2% speedup on a FreeBSD 11.3 VM and lets us use built-in redirects rather than relying on /bin/sh.
2020-04-15	t/*.t: localize $SIG{__WARN__} changes
	We don't want to propagate %SIG changes to other tests when running multiple tests within the same process via t/run.perl.
2020-02-06	treewide: run update-copyrights from gnulib for 2019
	I didn't wait until September to do it, this year!
2019-12-24	testcommon: add require_mods method and use it
	This cuts down on lines of code in individual test cases and fixes some misnamed error messages by using "$0" consistently. This will also provide us with a method of swapping out dependencies which provide equivalent functionality (e.g "Xapian" SWIG can replace "Search::Xapian" XS bindings).
2019-12-19	tests: move t/common.perl to PublicInbox::TestCommon
	We want to be able to use run_script with *.t files, so t/common.perl putting subs into the top-level "main" namespace won't work. Instead, make it a module which uses Exporter like other libraries.
2019-11-24	tests: use File::Temp->newdir instead of tempdir()
	We'll also introduce a tmpdir() API to give tempdirs consistent names.
2019-11-16	t/mda_filter_rubylang: drop IPC::Run dependency
	This test runs more than twice as fast, now.
2019-10-16	config: support "inboxdir" in addition to "mainrepo"
	"mainrepo" ws a bad name and artifact from the early days when I intended for there to be a "spamrepo" (now just the ENV{PI_EMERGENCY} Maildir). With v2, "mainrepo" can be especially confusing, since v2 needs at least two git repositories (epoch + all.git) to function and we shouldn't confuse users by having them point to a git repository for v2. Much of our documentation already references "INBOX_DIR" for command-line arguments, so use "inboxdir" as the git-config(1)-friendly variant for that. "mainrepo" remains supported indefinitely for compatibility. Users may need to revert to old versions, or may be referring to old documentation and must not be forced to change config files to account for this change. So if you're using "mainrepo" today, I do NOT recommend changing it right away because other bugs can lurk. Link: https://public-inbox.org/meta/874l0ice8v.fsf@alyssa.is/
2019-01-10	check git version requirements
	This allows v1 tests to continue working on git 1.8.0 for now. This allows git 2.1.4 packaged with Debian 8 ("jessie") to run old tests, at least. I suppose it's safe to drop Debian 7 ("wheezy") due to our dependency on git 1.8.0 for "merge-base --is-ancestor". Writing V2 repositories requires git 2.6 for "get-mark" support, so mask out tests for older gits.
2019-01-07	t/mda_filter_rubylang.t: set PI_EMERGENCY for -mda
	Tests should not write to the default ~/.public-inbox/emergency
2019-01-05	index: quiet down git-log error messages on new inboxes
	The new t/*filter_rubylang.t tests call -index immediately after -init, which causes confusing messages to show up to the end user. Check the validity of the ref before calling "git-log".
2019-01-05	filter/rubylang: fix SQLite DB lifetime problems
	Clearly the AltId stuff was never tested for v2. Ensure this tricky filter (which reuses Msgmap to avoid introducing new serial numbers) doesn't trigger deadlocks SQLite due to opening a DB for writing multiple times. I went through several iterations of this change before going with this one, which is the least intrusive I could fine.
