2019-01-05	watchmaildir: normalize Maildir pathnames consistently
	Remove redundant slashes while we're at it.
2018-03-19	t/watch_maildir: note the reason for FIFO creation
	I had to dig through commit history for this and we should better document our tests (along with everything else).
2018-02-07	update copyrights for 2018
	Using update-copyrights from gnulib While we're at it, use the SPDX identifier for AGPL-3.0+ to ease mechanical processing.
2017-06-26	watch: improve fairness during full rescans
	We need to ensure new messages are being processed fairly during full rescans, so have the ->scan subroutine yield and reschedule itself. Additionally, having a long-running task inside the signal handler is dangerous and subject to reentrancy bugs. Due to the limitations of the Filesys::Notify::Simple interface, we cannot rely on multiplexing I/O interfaces (select, IO::Poll, Danga::Socket, etc...) for this. Forking a separate process was considered, but it is more expensive for a mostly-idle process. So, we use a variant of the "self-pipe trick" via inotify (or whatever Filesys::Notify::Simple gives us). Instead of writing to our own pipe, we write to a file in our own temporary directory watched by Filesys::Notify::Simple to trigger events in signal handlers.
2016-07-01	t/watch_maildir: quiet down spam check warning
	Probably better than bloating our own API with configurable warning streams and such...
2016-06-24	watch_maildir: implement optional spam checking
	Mailing lists I watch and mirror may not have the best spam filtering, and an extra layer should not hurt.
2016-06-24	document Filesys::Notify::Simple dependency
	And improve documentation for existing dependencies, too.
2016-06-19	watch_maildir: tighten up path checks
	Only mark seen messages as spam, otherwise it could be too aggressive and cause problems or over training. We wouldn't want a wayward FIFO ruining our day, either :)
2016-06-19	watch_maildir: spam removal support
	We can support spam removal by watching a special "spam" Maildir, too. We can run public-inbox-learn as a separate step, and that command will be improved to support auto-learning, too.
2016-06-18	watch_maildir: add scan test
	This should be portable despite the intended use of this directory being non-portable.
