Hello Mutt Users,

I've just released version 2.3.1.  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[1].

This is a bug-fix release, fixing a compilation error when configured 
--without-wc-funcs, and a potential bug in the folder browser.

Sorry this announcement is a bit longer, but there are a few additional 
things I wanted to mention.  The first is that I've renewed the 
expiration date on my gpg key.  Please refresh your keyring periodically 
or re-import my key from one of the sources at [1] if you get an expired 
key warning.

Next, we're planning on deprecating the --without-wc-funcs configuration 
option in 2.4.0 and removing it in 2.5.0.  If you rely on this 
configuration option, please take the time to drop us an email on the 
mutt-dev mailing list.

If you compile on a bleeding edge distro, you may notice compilation 
warnings about modifying const strings, thanks to some improvements to 
glibc.  We've fixed a bug in this release revealed by these warnings, 
but the other warnings have only been cleaned up in our master branch. 
They should disappear in the 2.4.0 release.

Last is a heads-up to packagers.  We've added a README.PACKAGERS file 
that mentions potential distribution issues between OpenSSL/LibreSSL. 
The issue is old news, but I felt obligated to mention the README.

Thanks to everyone who sent in bug reports, patches, helped code review, 
and test fixes.

-Kevin
