1.2
After a bit over a year since version 1.0, here is version 1.2. This is
mostly a bugfix release, but there are also a number of new features.
mu
- Substantial (algorithmic) speed-up of message-threading; this also (or
especially) affects mu4e, since threading is the default. See commit
eb9bfbb1ca3c for all the details, and thanks to Nicolas Avrutin.
- The query-parser now generates better queries for wildcard searches, by
using the Xapian machinery for that (when available) rather than
tranforming into regexp queries.
- The perl backend is hardly used and will be removed; for now we just
disable it in the build.
- Allow outputing messages in json format, closely following the sexp
output. This adds an (optional) dependency on the Json-Glib library.
mu4e
- Bump the minimal required emacs version to 24.4. This was already de-facto
true, now it is enforced.
- In mu4e-bookmarks, allow the `:query` element to take a function (or
lambda) to dynamically generate the query string.
- There is a new message-view for mu4e, based on the Gnus' article-view.
This bring a lot of (but not all) of the very rich Gnus article-mode
feature-set to mu4e, such as S/MIME-support, syntax-highlighting,
For now this is experimental ("tech preview"), but might replace the
current message-view in a future release. Enable it with:
(setq mu4e-view-use-gnus t)
Thanks to Christophe Troestler for his work on fixing various encoding
issues.
- Many bug fixes
guile
- Now requires guile 2.2.
