And a small and minor one, sure.

To me the three weeks in between .18 and the official 6.7
announcement where a long time, it depends on the point of view.
It is clearly a minor port, but for it, anything after v14.9.16
are all pure bugfix releases. Nothing in changelog, i wonder what
this means? I do not see per-port changelogs? .18 had
. a mailcap directive combination (mostly binary formats),
. .smime-* automated password fallback lookup,
of which the latter i deem important, at least for those who have
password protected certificates and keys. (As i no longer have.)
We did not have had a test for this specific case, just as for the
former, which does not bite me in practice either because i have
application/pdf;\
infile=%s\;\
trap "rm -f ${infile}" EXIT\;\
trap "exit 75" INT QUIT TERM\;\
mupdf "${infile}";\
test = [ -n "${DISPLAY}" ];\
nametemplate = %s.pdf; x-mailx-async; x-mailx-test-once
application/pdf;\
pdfinfo %s\; pdftotext -layout %s -;\
test = command -v pdfinfo >/dev/null 2>&1; \
copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.pdf; x-mailx-test-once
in my ~/.mailcap and so we fall through to the last one, since if
PDFs look important i usually `write' them somewhere before mupdf
comes into play.
I soon asked for holding it then, because there was one more
problem to fix, it is really superficial (was never seen in real
life), but since i also made the software OpenSSL 3.0 ready
i wanted to make another release, and it made no sense to update
to .18 and then .19, with all the machinery there is involved.
Nothing wild, it is just that as the maintainer of this thing
i would like to see that the best aka newest version is available
to whoever wants to fiddle around with this thing. That's all.
Ciao,
