Stable release v1.12.9

New release v1.12.9, with a number of fixes, doc improvements
and some new features:

• new command mu4e-analyze-last-query which shows information about
  how the server interpreted the last query; this can be useful if you
  don't get the result you expected.

• When you ask for bookmarks or maildirs through mu4e-search-bookmark or
  mu4e-search-maildir, unread counts are displayed in the (default)
  completions UI next to the maildir or bookmark. If you don't want to
  see these counts, set mu4e-hide-short-counts to non-nil.

• experimental: a "transient" menu, which provides easy access to some
  common (and some not so common) functions in mu4e. For now, you can
  enable this with:

      (require 'mu4e-transient)
      (global-set-key (kbd "C-c m") #'mu4e-transient-menu)

This requires you to have the "transient" package, which means Emacs
28 or later or alternatively you can install it manually. As stated,
it's experimental and will be change / expanded over time, but already
I find it quite useful.

• gnus mailing-list management commands such as
  gnus-mailing-list-subscribe, gnus-mailing-list-unsubscribe now also
  work in mu4e. Also available through the transient menu.

• The mu server uses PCRE-compatible regexps (for addresses), which are
  not necessarily compatible with Emacs regular expressions. However,
  mu4e can now automatically translate; this depends on the pcre2el
  package which the user should install when using regular
  expression-addresses.

• the cleanup phase after indexing has been sped up significantly

• updated documentation; man-pages and mu4e reference manual

Stable release v1.12.8

Release 1.12.8

New stable release, with bug fixes and a few featurerettes:

• documentation improvements
• removal of the old threading option and cleanup
• 'lazy' indexing is even lazier (faster)
• make references (the References:/In-reply-to: headers) searchable
  (with "references:" or "ref:"
• add new combination-field "related:" to search by msgid: or
  references:

In mu4e (see docstrings for details):

• new command 'mu4e-view-jump-to-mime-part', to jump to some mime part
  by number.
• new variable mu4e-trash-without-flag, if set to non-nil, "trashing" a
  message will not add the "T" flag.

Stable release v1.12.7

stable release 1.12.7

• many documentation fixes
• mu4e: fix some mu4e-compose-captured-message corner case (#2745)
• mu4e: fix 'user-agent' field (#2750)
• few tiny tweaks

However biggest change is regarding mu's "threadiness" with respect to
Xapian. For a while, some people, ran into Xapian database
corruptions (I've seen it very occasionally, some people more often);
issue #2706.

I don't know the precise cause, but it seems to be related to using
threads with Xapian; the mu code in this area hasn't changed much, so
perhaps newer Xapian versions are less forgiving? Anyway, this is all
speculation. Database corruption with mu is not catastrophic, since you
can always rebuild it without data-loss; however, it's still annoying
and we'd obviously want to avoid that.

1.12.7 includes a change to make the database access single-threaded
again, which seems to help for this problem. We're really returning to
the behavior some older versions of mu, with the difference that now
you'll get a message in mu4e

Cannot handle command while indexing, please retry later.

Hope that doesn't inconvenience people too much. Might have a deeper
look into when I have some more time and not in the 1.12.x series.

(there's a meson flag to keep the existing behavior, see the commit
message).

Stable release v1.12.6

able release 1.12.6

• improved documentation: man-pages, mu4e reference manual, README
• new function mu4e-save-message, to save a copy of the message at
  point
• reduce logging a bit
• fix mu4e-compose-pre-hook which broke with the 1.12.5 changes
• fix bookmark support (bookmark-make-record-function)

Stable release v1.12.5

New stable release, with a number of improvements:

• Rework message composition; split off parts into mu4e-draft.el
  This tries harder to maintain the current buffer as expected
• This fixes e.g. emacs-report-bug handling
• New hook mu4e-compose-post-hook for tweaking what mu4e does when
  we're done with a message (after sending, cancelling, ...).
  By default, it tries to close the frame if needed, and restore
  the window configuration. See its docstring.
• Better handle forwarding of encoded messages
• Don't remove non-mu4e completion in composer
• Integrate iCalendar support with message-composition
• Handle mu4e-sent-messages-behavior correctly when it's a function
• Better support NetBSD
• Support some file systems that don't put the file type in d_type
• Improve documentation

Release 1.10.9

Stable release; some small fixes backported from 1.12.x:

• fix bookmark function handling

Release v1.12.4

New stable release

• query when quitting emacs with unhandled marks in a headers buffer
• fix mime-handling
• update sent handling (simplifying it)
• some internal improvements

• documentation updates
• re-enable a specific database lock; this makes indexing a bit slower,
  but hopefully avoids some db corruption.

• add --reindex option to 'mu index'
• split off mu4e-complete-contact (for wider use)
