* Old news

   - 2011-07-31: mu *0.9.7-pre* is now available with a number of interesting
     new features and fixes, many based on user suggestions. =mu= now supports
 /mail threading/ based on the [[http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html][JWZ-algorithm]]; output is now automatically
     converted to the user-locale; =mu view= can output separators between
     messages for easier processing, support for X-Label-tags, and last but not
     least, =mu= now has bindings for the [[http://www.gnu.org/s/guile/][Guile]] (Scheme) programming language -
     there is a new toy (=toys/muile=) that allows you to inspect messages and
     do all kinds of statistics - see the [[https://gitorious.org/mu/mu/blobs/master/toys/muile/README][README]] for more information.

   - 2011-06-02: after quite a bit of testing, *0.9.6* has been promoted to be
     the next release -- forget about the 'bèta'. Development continues for
     the next release.

   - 2011-05-28: *mu-0.9.6* (bèta). A lot of internal changes, but also quite
     some new features, for example:
     - wild-card searching for most fields: mu find 'car*'
     - search for message with certain attachments with 'attach:/a:': mu find
       'attach:resume*'
     - color for =mu find=, =mu cfind=, =mu extract= and =mu view=
     Everything is documented in the man-pages, and there are examples in the [[file:cheatsheet.org][mu
     cheatsheet]].

   - 2011-04-25: *mu-0.9.5* a small, but important, bugfix in maildir-detection,
     some small optimizations.

   - 2011-04-12: *mu 0.9.4* released - adds the =cfind= command, to find
     contacts (name + e-mail); add =flag:unread= which is a synonym for
 =flag:new OR NOT flag:seen=. Updates to the documentation and some internal
     updates. This is a *bèta-version*.

   - 2011-02-13: *mu 0.9.3*; fixes a bunch of minor issues in 0.9.2; updated the
     web page with pages for [[file:mug.org][mug]] (the experimental UI) and the [[file:cheatsheet.org][mu cheatsheet]].

   - 2011-02-02: *mu 0.9.2* released, which adds support for matching on message
     size, and various new output format. See [[http://gitorious.org/mu/mu/blobs/master/NEWS][NEWS]] for all the user-visible
     changes, also from older releases.


  - [2010-12-05] *mu version 0.9.1* released; fixes a couple of issues users
    found with a missing icon, the unit-tests.
  - [2010-12-04] *mu version 0.9* released. Compared to the bèta-release, there
    were a number of improvements to the documentation and the unit
    tests. Pre-processing queries is a little bit smarter now, making matching
    e-mail address more eager. Experimental support for Fedora-14.
  - [2010-11-27] *mu version 0.9-beta* released. New features: searching is now
    accent-insensitive; you can now search for message priority (=prio:=),
    time-interval (=date:=) and message flags (=flag:=). Also, you can now store
    ('bookmark') often-used queries. To top it off, there is a simple graphical
    UI now, called =mug=. Documentation has been update, and all known bugs have
    been fixed.
  - [2010-10-30] *mu version 0.8* released, with only some small cosmetic
    updates compared to 0.8-beta. Hurray!
  - [2010-10-23] *mu version 0.8-beta* released. The new version brings =mu
     extract= for getting the attachments from messages, improved searching
     (matching is a bit more 'greedy'), updated and extended documentation,
     including the =mu-easy= manpage with simple examples. All known
     non-enhancement bugs were fixed.
  - [2010-02-27] *mu version 0.7* released. Compared to the beta version, there
    are few changes. The maildir-matching syntax now contains a starting =/=, so
 =~/Maildir/foo/bar/(cur|new)/msg= can be matched with =m:/foo/bar=. The
    top-level maildir can be matched with =m:/=. Apart from that, there are so
    small cosmetic fixes and documentation updates.
  - [2010-02-11] *mu version 0.7-beta* released. A lot of changes:
	- Automatic database scheme version check, notifies users when an
          upgrade is needed
        - Adds the =mu view= command, to view mail message files
        - Removes the 10K match limit
        - Support for unattended upgrades - that is, the database can
          automatically be upgraded (=--autoupgrade=). Also, the log file is
          automatically cleaned when it gets too big (unless you use
 =--nocleanup=)
        - Search for a certain Maildir using the =maildir:=,=m:= search
          prefixes. For example, you can find all messages located in
 =~/Maildir/foo/bar/(cur|new)/msg= with =m:foo/bar=. This replaces the
          search for path/p in 0.6
        - Fixes for reported issues #17 and #18
        - A test suite with a growing number of unit tests
        - Updated documentation
        - Many internal refactoring and other changes
   This version has been
   tagged as =v0.7-beta= in repository, and must be considered a code-complete
   preview of the upcoming release 0.7. Please report any problems you encounter
   with it.
