143 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
146 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
148 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
149 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
150 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
151 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
152 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
153 widespread convention of open source development.
155 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
156 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
157 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)

187 and updates folder mode content.
190 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
191 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
192 improves processing speed for large folders.

205 messages in the killed-list are treated as if it were not exist on the
