This was mentioned in the announcement, but unfortunately only
people on software-announce@mit.edu saw that.

The mutt development team has not put out a production release in
three years, so to get bugfixes and new functionality, you pretty
much have to run a development release. This particular version
is in the upcoming release of Debian, so it has received a good
deal of testing. This version is most notable for IMAP search
support and bugfixes that make it work with newer Cyrus (the mail
server MIT uses) installs.
