15 Due to changes to internal structures introduced in SVN revision 344,
16 all header caches must be removed and rebuild.
18 The '-D' command line option has been added.
20 Editing threads functionality is no longer only available
21 in muttng as it has been integrated into mutt, too.
25 The $xterm_leave option has been added.
27 The '^' shortcut pointing to the current folder is no longer
28 only available in muttng as it has been integrated into mutt, too.
32 The 'prepare' script has been renamed to 'autogen.sh' as this name
33 seems to be used in many projects using the autotools too.
37 Pine compatibility for naming IMAP mailboxes has been removed, only
38 the common imap[s]:// syntax remains.

41 replacements for the next round are: ask_followup_to ->
42 nntp_ask_followup_to, ask_x_comment_to -> nntp_ask_x_comment_to,
43 catchup_newsgroup -> nntp_catchup, followup_to_poster ->
44 nntp_followup_to_poster, group_index_format ->
45 nntp_group_index_format, inews -> nntp_inews, mime_subject ->
46 nntp_mime_subject, news_cache_dir -> nntp_cache_dir, news_server ->
47 nntp_host, newsrc -> nntp_newsrc, nntp_poll -> nntp_mail_check,

54 Due to frequent trouble, $imap_mail_check now defaults to 300 seconds
55 (5 minutes) rather than 5 seconds.
57 The configuration variable $strict_mailto has been added.
61 Changes due to better integration of qdbm support w/ header caching:

66 feature_db4 (for ifdef/ifndef)

72 when switching to qdbm, please make sure to _first_ _completely_

79 - $sidebar_boundary - boundary characters for name compression
80 - $sidebar_number_format - control if and how to print/count numbers
