I understand reasons for history2, but porting that plugin takes time (which you do not have too) and plugin is not so ideal. E.g. that missing support for html messages or optimization of sql queries or search support (e.g. fts4). But thanks to git, code will not be lost, so in future (if somebody would have time, interest and reasons) can do it... The best would be to write new history plugin from scratch (either on sqlite or other performance key-value database with search support; need to investigate what is available in year 2016), but it is not easy and I'm proposing this project for GSoC for more years... From last year I have in my mind idea how it should looks like and how it could be implemented based on sqlite. Maybe one day I implement it myself if I would have free time for it (and nobody will be faster then me :-)). -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com
