2020-02-06	treewide: run update-copyrights from gnulib for 2019
	I didn't wait until September to do it, this year!
2020-01-27	viewdiff: add "b=" param with non-standard diff prefix
	<20180228012207.GB251290@aiede.svl.corp.google.com> (posted to git@vger) uses "i" and "w" prefixes instead of the standard "a" and "b" prefixes, ensure we emit a "b=$FILENAME" param for the solver endpoint to improve search accuracy, syntax highlighting, and information density in the URL itself.
2020-01-27	xt/perf-msgview: switch to multipart_text_as_html
	It's a more widely-used (but still internal) API which will probably last longer than msg_html. It also reaches deeper into the stack and avoids the overhead of ->getline via PSGI, so it's faster and gives a more accurate measurement of lower-level parts.
2020-01-13	xt/git_async_cmp: do not slurp large OID list into memory
	I somehow thought "foreach (<$cat>)" could work like "while (<$cat>)" when it came to iterating over file handles...
2020-01-12	xt/mem-msgview.t: change to test one multipart message
	A single multipart message is far more common than a reused Message-ID, so rewrite the test to only have a single multipart message. Memory improvements will be implemented in the next commit.
2020-01-11	make Plack optional for non-WWW and non-httpd users
	Some users just want to run -mda, -watch, and/or -nntpd. Let them run just those without forcing them to pull in a bunch of dependencies.
2020-01-05	view: msg_html: reduce memory use on reused MIDs
	In rare cases where Message-IDs get reused, we do not want to hold onto the large Email::MIME objects in memory after showing the first message. So discard each message as soon as we're done using it so we can save memory for the next message. The new and expensive xt/mem-msgview.t test shows a nearly 14MB reduction for two ~7MB messages. run_script() also gets upgraded to make it easier to pass large inputs via IO GLOBs.
2020-01-04	solver: allow literal '\r' character in diff lines
	While filenames are escaped, the actual diff contents may contain an unescaped "\r" carriage return byte not in front of the "\n" line feed. So just allow "\r" to appear in the middle of a line.
2020-01-04	solver: do not enforce order on extended headers
	This is needed to work with patches with many renames, such as what makes "git/eebf7a8/s/?b=t%2Ftest-lib.sh"
2020-01-04	xt/solver.t: real-world regression tests
	There's a lot of test cases which we should probably make self-contained at some point, but right now it's easier to just mark them off in a maintainer test.
2020-01-01	wwwstatic: implement Last-Modified and If-Modified-Since
	We're already serving static files for cgit, and will serve more static files, soon.
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.
2019-12-12	add msgtime_cmp maintainer test
	Changes will be coming for MsgTime to stop depending on Date::Parse due to lack of package availability on OpenBSD and suboptimal performance on RFC822 dates.
2019-12-12	git: async batch interface
	This is a transitionary interface which does NOT require an event loop. It can be plugged into in current synchronous code without major surgery. It allows HTTP/1.1 pipelining-like functionality by taking advantage of predictable and well-specified POSIX pipe semantics by stuffing multiple git cat-file requests into the --batch pipe With xt/git_async_cmp.t and GIANT_GIT_DIR=git.git, the async interface is 10-25% faster than the synchronous interface since it can keep the "git cat-file" process busier. This is expected to improve performance on systems with slower storage (but multiple cores).
2019-11-24	tests: move giant inbox/git dependent tests to xt/
	xt/ is typically reserved for "eXtended tests" intended for the maintainers and not ordinary users. Since these require special configuration and do nothing by waste cycles during startup, they qualify.
