[grepmail-announce] grepmail 5.00 released

[David C. <new...@co...>]

Description:
- grepmail is a Perl program that searches a normal or compressed mailbox
  (gzip, bzip2, or tzip) for a given regular expression and returns those
  emails that match the query. It also supports searches constrained by date
  and size.

Download:
- You can download grepmail 5.00 from CPAN:
  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DC/DCOPPIT/grepmail-5.00.tar.gz
- Until the file propagates to the mirrors, you can use the following URL:
  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/grepmail/grepmail-5.00.tar.gz

Changes:
- grepmail is now orders of magnitude faster for mailboxes which have very
  large (>30MB) emails in them
- "grep" is now used to find the start of emails, if it is installed. For
  mailboxes with large emails in them, this can speed things up by about 5x.
- Reduced memory consumption by about 3 times.
- -- now marks the end of options and the beginning of folders
- -f now reads patterns from a file like GNU grep does.
- Added smail compatibility.
- Date specifications without times (e.g. "today") are interpreted as midnight
  of the given day instead of the current time of that day.
- Fixed -i when used with -Y -- it was always case sensitive before.
- Updated t/functionality.t to avoid running gzip-related test cases when gzip
  is not installed on the system.
- Improved some error messages so that they prepend "grepmail: " as they
  should
- The "**" prefix on warnings has been changed to "grepmail:"
- Cleaned up some warnings about ambiguous hash values
- Added a warning about the version of perl required for new pattern features
- -t flag renamed to -j
- Fixed broken Gnus support
- Improved test case for Gnus

See the README for additional notes on caching, complex queries, and
generation of message IDs.
