I'm pleased to announce that, after quite a long hiatus, Sup 0.23 has
been released. This release brings a number of bug fixes and
compatibility fixes, including Ruby 2.7 support.

The new release is available from Rubygems and Github.

== 0.23 / 2020-07-10

* #505: Shell metacharacters in attachment filenames are no longer escaped when
saving the attachment to disk using 's'. Fixes attachments being saved with
unnecessary \ escapes in their filename. (Felix Van der Jeugt)
* When saving attachments, Sup now creates all parent directories of the
destination path. (Matthieu Rakotojaona)
* The '@' key now reloads all messages in thread view. (Seva Zhidkov)
* #517: The 'g' key now correctly opens each selected URL if multiple URLs are
under the cursor, instead of opening the last URL multiple times.
(Matthieu Rakotojaona)
* The 'g' key now works when the cursor is over a URL inside a signature block.
(Michael Dwyer)
* The 'reply-to' hook is now passed a 'message' variable, the message being
replied to, so that the hook can choose the reply mode based on properties of
the message like the list address. (Simon Tatham)
* The contacts list now shows also email addresses supplied by the
'extra-contract-addresses' hook. (Matthieu Rakotojaona)
* #510: The micalg= parameter is now set correctly when sending
multipart/signed messages. Fixes issues with other mail clients which fail to
handle a missing micalg= parameter on signed messages. (Dan Callaghan)
* Attachments with text/plain MIME type are now correctly decoded according to
their charset= parameter. (Dan Callaghan)
* Strings returned by the 'mime-decode' hook are now kept in their original
encoding and displayed as is, instead of being wrongly transcoded.
(Dan Callaghan)
* Rendering speed of thread list views is improved. (Vickenty Fesunov)
* Fixed display width calculation for emoji. Previously, sender names and
thread subjects using emoji would be incorrectly truncated, if the terminal
emulator displays emoji as double-width. (Dan Callaghan)
* List address is parsed from the non-standard Mailing-List header used by
Groups.io. (Dan Callaghan)
* Fixed misinterpretation of quoted text where the quote uses both an
"---- Original Message ----" marker and > delimiters, for example from
Zimbra users. (Steven Lawrance)
* Added a new option 'indent_spaces' in config.yaml, to control the number of
spaces for indenting each child message when displaying the thread view.
The default remains 2. (Antoni Kaniowski)
* Attachment sizes are now displayed using standard unit abbreviations like
"MiB". (Sharif Olorin)
* Sup now gives a hint if a search query results in an empty search after
tokenization (for example, if the user tries to search for only punctuation).
(Per Andersson)
* The --list-hooks option now takes an additional option --hooks-matching, to
filter the listed hooks. (Matthieu Rakotojaona)
* Fixed ArgumentError in logging methods on Ruby 2.7. (Dan Callaghan)
* Fixed FrozenError in verified_ok? method on Ruby 2.7. (Iain Parris)
* Fixed Fixnum deprecation warnings on Ruby 2.4+. (Dan Callaghan)
* Several dependency version updates. The optimist gem replaces trollop. The
unicode-display_width gem is a new dependency.

Excellent! Thank you very much again for this, Dan - it is very good to
see a new Sup release, and I'm now happily running the 0.23 gem "in
production".

For collaborating with downstream:

- Fedora:
- I saw that you already have this in hand, Dan - and have closed
Red Hat Bugs 1855734 & 1830697, with an updated rubygem-sup
package for Fedora 33 (rubygem-sup-0.23-2.fc33). Thank you!
<https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1540831>.

- Arch Linux:
- I've updated Arch Wiki's gem installation instructions for 0.23,
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sup>
- I've also flagged the AUR "sup (0.22.1 released 2015-06-18) and
"sup-git" (93df79b committed 2017-02-14) AUR packages as
out-of-date.

- Debian:
- "sup-mail" package was removed in April 2020 from Debian unstable
(sid) and testing (bullseye) due to no Ruby 2.7 support (Debian
bugs 956071 & 952089). <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sup-mail>
- Now that 0.23 has Ruby 2.7 support, I'm going to contact the
previous Debian maintainers, and see if I can work with them to
reintroduce the package into Debian unstable.
- It should then flow to Debian testing automatically.
- The package is currently sitting in Debian Ruby Team's "Attic",
for packages removed from the Debian archive:
<https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/attic/sup-mail>.

- Ubuntu:
- "sup-mail" isn't present in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal), but was
previously included in prior releases, including Ubuntu 19.10
(eoan) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic).
- If Debian accepts the reintroduction of the "sup-mail" package,
then perhaps Ubuntu might consider a "Stable Release Update"
(SRU), to reintroduce the package - to avoid a poor upgrade
experience from prior Ubuntu versions, especially since focal is
an LTS release which people may be running until 2025.
- If Debian reintroduce the package first, then I will see if the
Ubuntu maintainers might be willing to consider this.

Kind regards,
Iain

It was bugging me that Sup is still calling itself 0.x after all these
years. So I decided to re-release 0.23 with a version number of 1.0. The
new 1.0 release is on Rubygems and Github now. The code is identical to
the 0.23 release.
