ChangeLog contains somewhat more exact entries. But I don't think many
people care about the exact reason. For example the last 3 could have
been instead (their hg commit messages):
- Maildir: Use i_stream_stat() instead of i_stream_get_fd()+fstat().
Fixes zlib plugin.
- Maildir: Make sure messages are removed from index if they are
deleted externally from new/.
- message header parser: Don't set hdr->continues=TRUE when hdr-
>eoh=TRUE.
But no one would have any idea what last 2 of those would be useful for.
