Surprise, it’s a new release of Colobus!

Because there’s nothing that quite says “hire me” like polishing your Perl bona fides, I have finally made a new release of Colobus, the NNTP server that runs on top of ezmlm and Mlmmj mail archives. (It was actually three new releases, I had to work out some kinks. More to come as I work out more in testing.)

The Mlmmj support and some of the other tweaks are really just pulling in and polishing changes that had been made to the install used for the the PHP.net mailing lists. There are also a few bug fixes I pulled in from Ask’s fork of colobus that the perl.org project uses.

I did add a significant new feature, which is a non-standard XTHREAD id_or_msgid command that returns an XOVER-style result for all of the messages in the same “thread”. The code to take advantage of this new feature for the PHP mailing list archives is on the way.
