- Before installing, it is recommended that you *remove* any older versions of
~mu~ and especiall ~mu4e~, since they may conflict with the newere ones.
- =mu= now requires C++17 support for building (this is in preparation for code
that actually _uses_ C++17)
- =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.
*** 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 message 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.
- ~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~.
- a lot of the internals have been changed:
- =mu4e= is slowly moving from using the =~= to the more common =--= separator for
private functions; i.e., =mu4e-foo= becomes =mu4e--foo=.
- =mu4e= is slowly moving from using the =~= to the more common =--= separator
for private functions; i.e., =mu4e-foo= becomes =mu4e--foo=.
- =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 --
