Introduced here:
changeset: 4412:5a347f860ec3
branch: HEAD
user:David Champion d...@uchicago.edu
date:Tue Oct 04 06:05:39 2005 +
summary: Attachment counting for index display (patch-1.5.11.dgc.attach.6).
shell$ hg log -r 5a347f860ec3 --template='{latesttag}\n'
mutt-1-5-11-rel
That tells what was the most recent tag at the time of the revision in
which %X was committed, so we conclude that it was first released in
1.5.12.
shell$ hg log --template='{latesttag} {date|isodate}\n' -r mutt-1-5-12-rel -r
mutt-1-4-2-3-rel -r mutt-1-4-rel

mutt-1-4-2-3-rel 2007-05-26 18:00 -0700
mutt-1-4-rel 2002-05-29 09:31 +
Note that 1.4.2.3 is newer than 1.5.12. It's a stable branch, so it
contains security/bugfix updates only, no feature backports.
I would be genuinely surprised if someone measured reliability across
many users and found that 1.5.21 is any less stable than 1.4.2.3. I run
single mutt 1.5.21 processes literally for months at a stretch without
exiting -- and I have a feature patch queue about 20 deep on top of
HEAD. Mutt is far more stable (and performant, even with attachment
counting) than any web browser I use.
This is why nobody should be using 1.4, and why mutt should abandon the
even/odd stable/development dichotomy. ;)
