Release 2023-10-06

Notes

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!
