To: meta@public-inbox.org Subject: [WIP] public-inbox 1.7.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Disposition: inline Another big release focused on multi-inbox search and scalability. * general changes config file parsing is 2x faster with 50K inboxes * read-only public-inbox-daemon (-httpd, -nntpd, -imapd): libgit2 may be used via Inline::C to avoid hitting system pipe and process limits. See public-inbox-tuning(7) manpage for more details. * public-inbox-extindex A new Xapian + SQLite index able to search across several inboxes. This may be configured to replace per-inbox Xapian DBs, (but not per-inbox SQLite indices) and speed up manifest.js.gz generation. See public-inbox-extindex-format(5) and public-inbox-extindex(1) manpages for more details. * public-inbox-nntpd - startup is 6x faster with 50K inboxes if using -extindex * PublicInbox::WWW - mboxrd search results are returned in reverse Xapian docid order, so more recent results are more likely to show up first - d: and dt: search prefixes allow "approxidate" formats supported by "git log --since=" - manifest.js.gz generation is ~25x faster with -extindex * lei - local email interface An experimental, subject-to-change, likely-to-eat-your-mail tool for personal mail as well as interacting with public-inboxes on the local filesystem or over HTTP(S). See lei(1), lei-overview(7), and other lei-* manpages for details. * public-inbox-watch - IMAP and NNTP code shared with lei, fixing an off-by-one error in IMAP synchronization for single-message IMAP folders. - \Deleted and \Draft messages ignored for IMAP, as they are for Maildir. - IMAP and NNTP connection establishment (including git-credential prompts) ordering is now tied to config file order. Compatibility: * Rollbacks all the way to public-inbox 1.2.0 remain supported Internal changes * public-inbox-index switched to new internal IPC code shared with lei Please report bugs via plain-text mail to: meta@public-inbox.org See archives at https://public-inbox.org/meta/ for all history.
