Hello Mutt Users,
I'm pleased to announce the release of 1.13.5. Instructions for
downloading are available at <http://www.mutt.org/download.html>, or the
tarball can be directly downloaded from <http://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/>.
Please take the time to verify the signature file against my public key.
This release fixes a use-after-free bug. Thanks to Vita Batrla for the
bug report and patch. It also fixes a couple of format string
processing bugs.

Next Release Testing:
The next major release is getting closer, and I'd like to ask those
comfortable compiling Mutt from git to please give it a try. Some
features I'd appreciate help testing are:
* Background editing:
<https://muttmua.gitlab.io/mutt/manual-dev.html#bgedit>
If you use a graphical editor, this allows you to return to the index
and perform other operations while composing (including composing other
messages). Please read the linked documentation for more details.
* $imap_deflate:
<https://muttmua.gitlab.io/mutt/manual-dev.html#imap-deflate>
Enables compression over IMAP.
* $fcc_delimiter
<https://muttmua.gitlab.io/mutt/manual-dev.html#fcc-delimiter>
Allows specifying multiple mailboxes in fcc-hook or $record
* mailboxes -label and -nopoll flags
<https://muttmua.gitlab.io/mutt/manual-dev.html#mailboxes>
"-label" allows specifying a label to print in the sidebar/mailbox
browser instead of the mailbox path. "-nopoll" allows specifying a
mailbox that won't be polled for mail, which could be useful for those
who want to load up their sidebar but not have to poll every one of
those mailboxes.
* ISO 8601 calendar dates for pattern searching.
Allows YYYYMMDD date patterns.
* $crypt_opportunistic_encrypt_strong_keys
<https://muttmua.gitlab.io/mutt/manual-dev.html#crypt-opportunistic-encrypt-strong-keys>
Restricts opportunistic encrypt to full-validity ("strong") keys. Can
be useful for those with large keyrings who don't want to encrypt to
everyone in them.
* ~b ~B ~h pattern matching in send-2hook
This can be used to tweek settings based the composed message content.
For example, enabling $send_multipart_alternative if the message
contains markdown or a particular marker.
* Compose menu <move-up> and <move-down> functions.
* Sidebar <sidebar-first> and <sidebar-last> functions.
* cross compilation:
Two of the compile-time tools have been re-written in Perl, which
should fix long standing cross-compilation issues.
* Lastly, I'm considering enabling $imap_qresync by default. I haven't
gotten much feedback on this feature though. If you are using an IMAP
server that supports QRESYNC, I'd appreciate if you would try enabling
it and see if you encounter any problems.
Please send any feedback to gitlab or to the mutt-dev mailing list.
Thank you in advance!
-Kevin
