11 sources of information.
15 The $xterm_leave option has been added.
17 The '^' shortcut pointing to the current folder is no longer
18 only available in muttng as it has been integrated into mutt, too.
22 The 'prepare' script has been renamed to 'autogen.sh' as this name
23 seems to be used in many projects using the autotools too.

28 the common imap[s]:// syntax remains.

45 (5 minutes) rather than 5 seconds.

51 Changes due to better integration of qdbm support w/ header caching:
