Notes

There are a few bug fixes and feature improvements in this release. However, most of the changes have been our work to modernise the code.

Other big news:

• Arch - NeoMutt’s been promoted from AUR to the Community
• Debian - The Mutt and NeoMutt packages are completely separate
• MacPorts - We now have an automatic build system for MacOS
• Autoconf - This is the last release with autotools
