Message-ID: <m3puejzabx.fsf@multivac.cwru.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m3ya3448bp.fsf@multivac.student.cwru.edu> (Paul Jarc's message of "14 Jul 2000 19:10:18 -0400")
Woohoo! The new version is here!
<URL:http://multivac.cwru.edu/nnmaildir/>
Instructions for upgraing are on the web. More documentation is on
the way.
Qualitative observations: startup and scanning for new mail are a bit
slower; *Summary* buffer generation is faster. It uses more memory,
but also uses it better. After starting Gnus on a fresh Emacs:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
prj 6064 29.0 7.7 12892 9944 tty1 S 11:55 0:29 emacs
This nnmaildir server has 61 groups and 3571 articles.
CHANGES:
bugfixes:
- tabs are replaced with spaces in Message-IDs
- XEmacs doesn't have (forward-point); thanks Rick Wash
- XEmacs capitalizes error messages differently; thanks Rick Wash
- messages are moved between groups by linking instead of copying
(sometimes, anyway. still working on this.)
- others; it's hard to keep track during a rewrite
features:
- marks are stored in the backend; article numbers are dynamically
reassigned to keep them small and consecutive, thanks to
-request-update-info and -request-set-mark
- server parameter "directory" names a directory containing maildirs; new
maildirs are scanned for by -request-scan
- server parameter "directory-files" specifies the directory-files function
to use to scan "directory"
- server parameter "-wipe-on-delete" is gone; better to decrypt encrypted
articles on the fly in -request-article (but we don't, yet)
- all group parameters can be set to forms which will be eval'ed
- group parameter "directory-files" specifies the directory-files function
to use to scan maildir directories
- group parameter "read-only" allows reading unwritable maildirs
- group parameter "distrust-Lines:" forces counting of lines for NOV data
- group parameter "always-marks" gives a list of marks that all articles
should appear to have set
- group parameter "never-marks" gives a list of marks that no articles
should appear to have set; overrides always-marks
- group parameter "expire-age" gives the minimum age of an article before
expiry, in seconds
- group parameter "expire-group" gives the name of a group to move articles
into when expiring
- variable "nnmaildir-article-file-name" is set by -request-article
- -request-post uses message-send-mail function instead of
mail-send-and-exit
internals:
- major rewrite for flexibility, reliability, and performance
- .nnmaildir replaced with .nnmaildir/*
- no more nnoo, no more nnmail
- no need for gnus-atomic-progn; memory data structures are designed for
safe updates
