~mu~ and especiall ~mu4e~, since they may conflict with the newere ones.

much of this is not immediately visible but is an enabler for some new
features.
- the ~info~ command now includes information about the last indexing operation
and the last database change that took place; note that the information may
be slightly delayed due to database caching.
- the ~verify~ command for checking signatures has been updated, and is more
informative
- a new command ~mu fields~ provides information about the message fields and
- a new command ~fields~ provides information about the message fields and
flags for use in queries. The information is the same information that ~mu~
uses and so stays up to date.
- a new message field ~changed~, which refers to the time/date of the last time
a message was changed (the file ~ctime~).
a message was changed (the file ~ctime~) and a new flag ~personal~ to search
for "personal" messages, which are defined as a message with at least one
personal contact.
- message sexps are now cached in the store, which makes delivering
sexp-based search results (as used by ~mu4e~) much faster.
*** mu4e
- the old mu4e-view is *gone*; only the gnus-based one remains. This allowed
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
message sexps (see the ~mu~ section) make getting the results much faster.
This becomes esp. clear when there are a lot of query results.

indexing operations.

- ~mu4e-index-updated-hook~ now fires after indexing completed, regardless of
whether anything changed (before, it fired only is something changed). In
your hook-functions (or elsewhere) you can check if anything changed using
the new variable ~mu4e-index-update-status~. And note that ~processed~ has
been renamed into ~checked~, with a slightly different meaning, see the mu
section.

- ~mu4e-compose-context-switch~ no longer attempts to update the draft folder
(which turned out to be a little fragile). However, it has been updated to
automatically change the ~Organization:~ header, and attempts to update the

defaults for various systems. This can also be set to a function.

- As an additional measure to limit the number of contacts that mu4e loads
for auto-completions, there's ~mu4e-compose-complete-max~, which by default
is set to *2000*, so you can auto-complete your 2000 closest friends.

- =mu4e-utils.el= had become a bit of a dumping ground for bits of code;
it's gone now, with the functionality move to topic-specific files --
=mu4e-folders.el=, =mu4e-bookmarks.el=, =mu4e-update.el=, and included in

~mu4e-contact-cons~ function which takes a news-style contact and yields
the old form.
