0.9.18

mu

• Increase the default maximum size for messages to index to 500
  Mb; you can customize this using the --max-msg-size parameter to
  mu index.
• implement "lazy-checking", which makes mu not descend into
  subdirectories when the directory-timestamp is up to date;
  greatly speeds up indexing (see --lazy-check)
• prefer gpg2 for crypto
• fix a crash when running on OpenBSD
• fix --clear-links (broken filenames)

mu4e

reading messages

• Add mu4e-action-view-with-xwidget, and action for viewing
  e-mails inside a Webkit-widget inside emacs (requires emacs 25.x
  with xwidget/webkit/gtk3 support)
• Explicitly specify utf8 for external html viewing, so browsers
  can handle it correctly.
• Make `shr' the default renderer for rich-text emails (when
  available)
• Add a :user-agent field to the message-sexp (in mu4e-view), which
  is either the User-Agent or X-Mailer field, when present.

composing messages

• Cleanly handle early exits from message composition as well as
  while composing.
• Allow for resending existing messages, possibly editing them. M-x
  mu4e-compose-resend, or use the menu; no shortcut.
• Better handle the closing of separate compose frames
• Improved font-locking for the compose buffers, and more extensive
  checks for cited parts.
• automatically sign/encrypt replies to signed/encrypted messages
  (subject to `mu4e-compose-crypto-reply-policy')

searching & marking

• Add a hook mu4e-mark-execute-pre-hook, which is run just before
  executing marks.
• Just before executing any search, a hook-function
  mu4e-headers-search-hook is invoked, which receives the
  search expression as its parameter.
• In addition, there's a mu4e-headers-search-bookmark-hook which
  gets called when searches get invoked as a bookmark (note that
  mu4e-headers-search-hook will also be called just
  afterwards). This hook also receives the search expression as its
  parameter.
• Remove the 'z' keybinding for leaving the headers
  view. Keybindings are precious!
• Fix parentheses/precedence in narrowing search terms

indexing

• Allow for indexing in the background; see
  mu4e-index-update-in-background.
• Better handle mbsync output in the update buffer
• Add variables mu4e-index-cleanup and mu4e-index-lazy to enable
  lazy checking from mu4e; you can sit from mu4e using something
  like:

(setq
  mu4e-index-cleanup nil      ;; don't do a full cleanup check
  mu4e-index-lazy-check t)    ;; don't consider up-to-date dirs

misc

• don't overwrite global-mode-string, append to it.
• Make org-links (and more general, all users of
  mu4e-view-message-with-message-id) use a headers buffer, then
  view the message. This way, those linked message are just like
  any other, and can be deleted, moved etc.
• Support org-mode 9.x
• Improve file-name escaping, and make it support non-ascii filenames
• Attempt to jump to the same messages after a re-search update operation
• Add action for spam-filter options
• Let `mu4e~read-char-choice' become case-insensitive if there is
  no exact match; small convenience that affects most the
  single-char option-reading in mu4e.

Perl

• an experimental Perl binding ("mup") is available now. See
  perl/README.md for details.
