1 This documents describes changes
3 - made to configuration variables, functions and the like which are
4 not backwards-compatible and/or which do not exist in mutt
6 - other changes which might break existing user configuration and thus
9 This document is not the place for verbose documentation; it only offers
10 the necessary keywords to look them up in the manual, ChangeLog or other
11 sources of information.
15 The $delete_space option has been added.
19 Reading configurations from ~/.muttngrc-$version and
20 ~/.muttng/muttngrc-$version is no longer supported;
21 ~/.muttngrc and ~/.muttng/muttngrc remain.
25 The $max_display_recips option has been added.
29 The $smtp_envelope option has been added.
31 To improve consistency, the following variables were renamed and
32 synonyms kept: $smtp_auth_username to $smtp_user and
33 $smtp_auth_password to $smtp_pass.
37 The $smtp_use_tls option has been added.
39 The $imap_check_subscribed option has been added in muttng and mutt.
43 The $imap_force_ssl option has been replaced with the more generic
44 $ssl_force_tls option.
48 For $sidebar_number_format, the expandos %c and %f are replaced with
49 their $status_format pendants %m and %F respectively. Use of %c and
50 %f is deprecated but still kept for compatibility.
54 Due to merging in changes made to mutt where NSS support was dropped,
55 it's dropped in mutt-ng too.
59 Because of reverting a (overly eager) mutt-ng-specific issue with
60 header caching, starting with revision 362, all caches must be removed
61 and rebuild again. Sorry for that.
65 Due to changes to internal structures introduced in SVN revision 344,
66 all header caches must be removed and rebuild.
68 The '-D' command line option has been added.
70 Editing threads functionality is no longer only available
71 in muttng as it has been integrated into mutt, too.
75 The $xterm_leave option has been added.
77 The '^' shortcut pointing to the current folder is no longer
78 only available in muttng as it has been integrated into mutt, too.
82 The 'prepare' script has been renamed to 'autogen.sh' as this name
83 seems to be used in many projects using the autotools too.
87 Pine compatibility for naming IMAP mailboxes has been removed, only
88 the common imap[s]:// syntax remains.
90 The first "round" of removing synonym variables is completed. The
91 replacements for the next round are: ask_followup_to ->
92 nntp_ask_followup_to, ask_x_comment_to -> nntp_ask_x_comment_to,
93 catchup_newsgroup -> nntp_catchup, followup_to_poster ->
94 nntp_followup_to_poster, group_index_format ->
95 nntp_group_index_format, inews -> nntp_inews, mime_subject ->
96 nntp_mime_subject, news_cache_dir -> nntp_cache_dir, news_server ->
97 nntp_host, newsrc -> nntp_newsrc, nntp_poll -> nntp_mail_check,
98 pop_checkinterval -> pop_mail_check, post_moderated ->
99 nntp_post_moderated, save_unsubscribed -> nntp_save_unsubscribed,
100 show_new_news -> nntp_show_new_news, show_only_unread ->
101 nntp_show_only_unread, x_comment_to -> nntp_x_comment_to. Please use
102 the contrib/update-config.pl script to update.
104 Due to frequent trouble, $imap_mail_check now defaults to 300 seconds
105 (5 minutes) rather than 5 seconds.
107 The configuration variable $strict_mailto has been added.
111 Changes due to better integration of qdbm support w/ header caching:

116 feature_db4 (for ifdef/ifndef)

121 - $header_cache_compress - compress header cache database with qdbm
122 when switching to qdbm, please make sure to _first_ _completely_
123 remove the old header cache (files) as you need to start off from
124 scratch; compressed qdbm require much less space (only ~1/5)
