=> Manjaro vs. EndeavourOS: Comparing the Two Major Arch-Based Distros | 8 open source projects taking collaboration to the next level

Upgrading:

lei users need to "lei daemon-kill" after installation to load

new code. Normal daemons (read-only, and public-inbox-watch)

will also need restarts, of course, but there's no

backwards-incompatible data format changes so rolling back to

older versions is harmless.

Major bugfixes:

• lei no longer freezes from inotify/EVFILT_VNODE handling,

user interrupts (Ctrl-C), nor excessive errors/warnings

• IMAP server fairness improved to avoid excessive blob prefetch

New features:

• POP3 server support added, use either public-inbox-pop3d or

the new public-inbox-netd superserver

• public-inbox-netd superserver supporting any combination of HTTP,

IMAP, POP3, and NNTP services; simplifying management and allowing

more sharing of memory used for various data structures.

• public-inbox-httpd and -netd support per-listener .psgi files

• SIGHUP reloads TLS certs and keys in addition to config and .psgi files

• "lei reindex" command for lei users to update personal index

in ~/.local/share/lei/store for search improvements below:

Search improvements:

These will require --reindex with public-inbox-index and/or

public-inbox-extindex for public inboxes.

• patchid: prefix search support added to WWW and lei for

"git patch-id --stable" support

• text inside base-85 binary patches are no longer indexed

to avoid false positives

• for lei users, "lei reindex" now exists and is required

to take advantage of aforementioned indexing changes

Performance improvements:

• IMAP server startup is faster with many mailboxes when using

"public-inbox-extindex --all"

• NNTP group listings are also faster with many inboxes when

using "public-inbox-extindex --all"

• various small opcode and memory usage reductions
