Neomutt Versions Save

:book: Notes

This is a feature release, sort of :-) There are lots of bug fixes too.

The biggest change is to how NeoMutt handles format strings. Thanks János!

Format strings are now parsed when they are set, rather than every time they are used. This means we can check for errors, e.g.

set index_format = "%Q"

Option index_format: Unknown expando: %Q

Next, 8 config strings have been Localized. Localization (L10N) allows translators to provide language-specific defaults, e.g. $attribution_intro

• English: "On %d, %n wrote:
• Serbian: "Дана %d, %n написа:"
• German: "Am %d, schrieb %n:"

These are the defaults: they can still be overridden.

Thanks to William Casarin and Szilárd Andai for their help and debugging.

:book: Notes

Just a small release, this time.

Behind the scenes, I added a lot of tests for the colour code. This revealed a handful of bugs that needed fixing. Whilst testing, I converted some debug code to create the :color command. Maybe not that useful, but it's quite pretty :smile:

Also new, the information screens like :set allow you to save their contents with s (<save-message>).

This is a big release. After nearly five months and over 400 commits, NeoMutt is stable again.

Most of the work won't be visible to the users. We've been making large-scale changes to improve the code. In the long-term, this will make NeoMutt stabler and make it easier to add new features.

If you find a problem, please let us know as soon as possible.

Thanks! :heart:

True Colour support.

To enable this, you need to export TERM=xterm-direct (shell) and set color_directcolor = yes (neomutt).

Then you can use RGB hex colours in your config:

color status #ffffff #ff8080
color index  #80c000 #007890 apple
