[neomutt-devel] Next Release: Fri 8th Oct

[Richard Russon]

Yes, you read that correctly.

For over six months, we've been working hard to make some large
architectural improvements to the code (and introduce some new
features).

PLEASE can you make some time to build and test the latest code,
       and let us know if you spot anything wrong.

Cheers,
    Rich / FlatCap

Pietro (@gahr) has put together some draft release notes.  Thanks!
