Release 0.25?

[edgewood]

Is there a roadmap or list of work to be done prior to a 0.25 release? I would love to have some of the new features added since 0.24, particularly the XZ archive support added last year. (Especially since I started compressing mbox files several years ago and just now noticed that mairix doesn't support them when I went looking for an email I knew was there and mairix couldn't find it.)

If there are tasks that an unprivileged volunteer could do to hasten a new release, I'd be willing to help out.

Hi edgewood,

There is no particular roadmap nor any ongoing activity, really. There are a few issues open since a long time, but none that are trivial to fix. However, the head is in a decent enough state so I would be happy to make a 0.25 release with the code as it is now. Unless I hear differently I'll do that tomorrow.

[edgewood]

That would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I second the vote for a new release. It's been over 5 years since the last release and there have been a number of cases of crashing bugs fixed since then, which might have security impacts.

[edgewood]

Would it be possible to do that soon?

Hi Vandry, any chance of creating the 0.25 release any time soon?

Thanks very much.

FWIW, I've been using git HEAD for 4 months without issue.

Glad to hear it. Just before I saw your post I decided to download it and have at it. Good to know that success has been seen.

How about a new release this year? It's been stable for a while IMHO.
