10 the necessary keywords to look them up in the manual, ChangeLog or other
11 sources of information.
15 The '^' shortcut pointing to the current folder is no longer
16 only available in muttng as it has been integrated into mutt, too.
20 The 'prepare' script has been renamed to 'autogen.sh' as this name
21 seems to be used in many projects using the autotools too.
25 Pine compatibility for naming IMAP mailboxes has been removed, only
26 the common imap[s]:// syntax remains.

32 nntp_followup_to_poster, group_index_format ->
33 nntp_group_index_format, inews -> nntp_inews, mime_subject ->
34 nntp_mime_subject, news_cache_dir -> nntp_cache_dir, news_server ->

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

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