* 1.8 (released on June 25, 2022)
|
||||
|
||||
(there are some changes in the installation procedure compared to 1.6.x; see
|
||||
Installation below)
|
||||
|
||||
*** mu
|
||||
|
||||
- =mu= switched to the [[https://mesonbuild.com][meson]] build system by default. The existing =autotools=
|
||||
is still available, but is to be removed after the 1.8 release.
|
||||
|
||||
Using =meson= (which you may need to install), you can use something like
|
||||
the following in the mu top source directory:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
$ meson build && ninja -C build
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
- However, note that =autogen.sh= has been updated, and there's a
|
||||
convenience =Makefile= with some useful targets, so you can also do:
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
$ ./autogen.sh && make # and optionally, 'sudo make install'
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
- After that, either =ninja -C build= or =make= should be enough to rebuild
|
||||
|
||||
- NOTE: development versions 1.7.18 - 17.7.25 had a bug where the mail file
|
||||
names sometimes got misnamed (with some extra ':2,'). This can be restored
|
||||
with something like:
|
||||
#+begin_example
|
||||
$ find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*:*' | \
|
||||
sed "s/\(\([^:]*\)\(:2,\)\{1,\}\(:2,.*$\)\)/mv '\0' '\2\4'/" > rename.sh
|
||||
#+end_example
|
||||
(replace 'Maildir' with the path to your maildir)
|
||||
|
||||
once this is done, do check the generated 'rename.sh' and after convincing
|
||||
yourself it does the right thing, do
|
||||
#+begin_example
|
||||
$ sh rename.sh
|
||||
#+end_example
|
||||
after that, re-index.
|
||||
|
||||
- Before installing, it is recommended that you *remove* any older versions
|
||||
of ~mu~ and especially ~mu4e~, since they may conflict with the newer ones.
|
||||
|
||||
- =mu= now requires C++17 support for building
|
||||
|
||||
- The server protocol (as used my mu4e) has seen a number of updates, to
|
||||
allow for faster rendering. As before, there's no compatibility between
|
||||
minor release numbers (1.4 vs 1.6 vs 1.8) nor within development series

for removing quite a bit of old code.

- the mu4e headers rendering is much faster (a factor of 3+), which makes

displaying big results snappier. This required some updates in the headers

handling and in the server protocol. Separate from that, the cached
