Notmuch 0.20.2 (2015-06-27)
===========================
Emacs Interface
---------------
Bug fix for marking messages read in `notmuch-tree` mode.
Notmuch 0.20.1 (2015-06-01)
===========================
Test Suite
----------
Work around apparent gdb bug on arm64
Notmuch 0.20 (2015-05-31)
=========================
Command-Line Interface
----------------------
There is a new `mimetype:` search prefix
The new `mimetype:` search prefix allows searching for the
content-type of attachments, which is now indexed. See the
`notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details.
Path to gpg is now configurable
On systems with multiple versions of gpg, you can tell
notmuch which one to use by setting `crypto.gpg_path`
Emacs
-----
Avoid rendering large text attachements.
Improved rendering of CID references in HTML.
Vim
---
Vim client now respects excluded tags.
Notmuch-Mutt
------------
Support messages without Message-IDs.
Library
-------
Undeprecate single message mboxes
It seems more trouble to remove this feature than expected, so
`notmuch new` will no longer nag about mboxes with a single message.
New error logging facility
Clients should call `notmuch_database_status_string` to retrieve
output formerly printed to stderr.
Several bug fixes related to stale iterators
New status code returning API for n_query_search_{messages,thread}
Fix for library `install_name` on Mac OS X
Fix for rounding of seconds
Documentation
-------------
Sphinx is now mandatory to build docs
Support for using rst2man in place of sphinx to build the
docmumentation has been removed.
Improved notmuch-search-terms.7
The man page `notmuch-search-terms(7)` has been extended, merging
some material from the relicensed wiki.
Contrib
-------
`notmuch-deliver` is removed. As far as we know, all functionality
previously provided by `notmuch-deliver` should now be provided by
`notmuch insert`, provided by the main notmuch binary.
nmbug-status
------------
`nmbug-status` now only matches local branches when reading
`status-config.json` from the `config` branch of the `NMBGIT`
repository. To help new users running `nmbug-status`, `nmbug clone`
now creates a local `config` branch tracking `origin/config`. Folks
who use `nmbug-status` with an in-Git config (i.e. you don't use the
`--config` option) who already have `NMBGIT` set up are encouraged to
run:
git checkout config origin/config
in their `NMBGIT` repository (usually `~/.nmbug`).

Notmuch 0.19 (2014-11-14)
=========================
Overview
--------
This release improves the reliability of `notmuch dump` and the error
handling for `notmuch insert`. The new `notmuch address` command is
intended to make searching for email addresses more convenient. At the
library level the revised handling of missing messages fixes at least
one bug in threading. The release also includes several interface
improvements to the emacs interface, most notably the ability to bind
keyboard shortcuts to saved searches.
Command-Line Interface
----------------------
Stopped `notmuch dump` failing if someone writes to the database
The dump command now takes the write lock when running. This
prevents other processes from writing to the database during the
dump which would cause the dump to fail. Note, if another notmuch
process already has the write lock the dump will not start, so
script callers should still check the return value.
`notmuch insert` requires succesful message indexing for success status
Previously the `notmuch insert` subcommand indicated success even if
the message indexing failed, as long as the message was delivered to
file system. This could have lead to delivered messages missing
tags, etc. `notmuch insert` is now more strict, also requiring
succesful indexing for success status. Use the new `--keep` option
to revert to the old behaviour (keeping the delivered message file
and returning success even if indexing fails).
`notmuch insert` has gained support for `post-insert` hook
The new `post-insert` hook is run after message delivery, similar to
`post-new`. There's also a new option `notmuch insert --no-hooks` to
skip the hook. See the notmuch-hooks(1) man page for details.
`notmuch deliver` is deprecated
With this release we believe that `notmuch insert` has reached
parity with `notmuch deliver`. We recommend that all users of
`notmuch deliver` switch to `notmuch insert` as the former is
currently unmaintained.
`notmuch search` now supports `--duplicate=N` option with `--output=messages`
Complementing the `notmuch search --duplicate=N --output=files`
options, the new `--duplicate=N --output=messages` combination
limits output of message IDs to messages matching search terms that
have at least `N` files associated with them.
Added `notmuch address` subcommand
This new subcommand searches for messages matching the given search
terms, and prints the addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are
filtered out. The `--output` option controls which of the following
information is printed: sender addresses, recipient addresses and
count of duplicate addresses.
Emacs Interface
---------------
Use the `j` key to access saved searches from anywhere in notmuch
`j` is now globally bound to `notmuch-jump`, which provides fast,
interactive keyboard shortcuts to saved searches. For example,
with the default saved searches `j i` from anywhere in notmuch will
bring up the inbox.
Improved handling of the unread tag
Notmuch now marks an open message read (i.e., removes the unread
tag) if point enters the message at any time in a show buffer
regardless of how point got there (mouse click, cursor command, page
up/down, notmuch commands such as n,N etc). This fixes various
anomalies or bugs in the previous handling. Additionally it is
possible to customize the mark read handling by setting
`notmuch-show-mark-read-function` to a custom function.
Expanded default saved search settings
The default saved searches now include several more common searches,
as well as shortcut keys for `notmuch-jump`.
Improved `q` binding in notmuch buffers
`q` will now bury rather than kill a notmuch search, show or tree
buffer if there are multiple windows showing the buffer. If only a
single window is showing the buffer, it is killed.
`notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports functions
Some list archives may use a more complicated scheme for referring
to messages than just concatenated URL and message ID. For example,
patchwork requires a query to translate message ID to a patchwork
patch ID. `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports
functions to better cover such cases. See the help documentation for
the variable for details.
Library changes
---------------
Introduced database version 3 with support for "database features."
Features are independent aspects of the database schema.
Representing these independently of the database version number will
let us evolve the database format faster and more incrementally,
while maintaining better forwards and backwards compatibility.
Library users are no longer required to call `notmuch_database_upgrade`
Previously, library users were required to call
`notmuch_database_needs_upgrade` and `notmuch_database_upgrade`
before using a writable database. Even the CLI didn't get this
right, and it is no longer required. Now, individual APIs may
return `NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED` if the database format is
too out of date for that API.
Library users can now abort an atomic section by closing the database
Previously there was no supported way to abort an atomic section.
Callers can now simply close the database, and any outstanding
atomic section will be aborted.
Add return status to notmuch_database_close and
notmuch_database_destroy
Bug fixes and performance improvements for thread linking
The database now represents missing-but-referenced messages ("ghost
messages") similarly to how it represents regular messages. This
enables an improved thread linking algorithm that performs better
and fixes a bug that sometimes prevented notmuch from linking
messages into the same thread.
nmbug
-----
The Perl script has been translated to Python; you'll need Python 2.7
or anything from the 3.x line. Most of the user-facing interface is
the same, but `nmbug help` is not `nmbug --help`, and the following nmbug
commands have slightly different interfaces: `archive`, `commit`,
`fetch`, `log`, `pull`, `push`, and `status`. For details on the
new interface for a given command, run `nmbug COMMAND --help`.
nmbug-status
------------
`nmbug-status` can now optionally load header and footer templates
from the config file. Use something like:
{
"meta": {
"header": "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang="en">\n...",
"footer": "</body></html>",
...
},
...
},
Python Bindings
---------------
Add support for `notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude`
Build System
------------
The notmuch binaries and libraries are now build with debugging symbols
by default. Users concerned with disk space should change the
defaults when configuring or use the strip(1) command.

===========================
Test Suite
----------
Translate T380-atomicity to use gdb/python
The new version is compatible with gdb 7.8
Emacs 24.4 related bug fixes
The Messages buffer became read-only, and the generated mime
structure for signatures changed slightly.
Simplify T360-symbol-hiding
Replace the use of `objdump` on the object files with `nm` on the
resulting lib.
|
|
Bump PKGREVISION since the binary package changes on OS X.
While here, add comments to all patches.
|
|
|
|
Add notmuch emacs option that pulls in emacs and installs compiled lisp
files as well.
Based on a similar patch by J. Lewis Muir on pkgsrc-users.
Bump PKGREVISION.

Notmuch 0.18.1 (2014-06-25)
===========================
This is a bug fix and portability release.
Build System
------------
Add a workaround for systems without zlib.pc
Make emacs install robust against the non-existence of emacs
Put notmuch lib directory first in RPATH
Fix handling of html_static_path in sphinx
Both the python bindings and the main docs had spurious settings of
this variable.
Test Suite
----------
Use --quick when starting emacs
This avoids a hang in the T160-json tests.
Allow pending break points in atomicity script
This allows the atomicity tests to run on several more architectures/OSes.
Command-Line Interface
----------------------
To improve portability use fsync instead of fdatasync in
`notmuch-dump`. There should be no functional difference.
Library changes
---------------
Resurrect support for single-message mbox files
The removal introduced a bug with previously indexed single-message
mboxes. This support remains deprecated.
Fix for phrase indexing
There were several bugs where words intermingled from different
headers and MIME parts could match a single phrase query. This fix
will affect only newly indexed messages.
Emacs Interface
---------------
Make sure tagging on an empty query is harmless
Previously tagging an empty query could lead to tags being
unintentionally removed.
Notmuch 0.18 (2014-05-06)
=========================
Overview
--------
This new release includes some enhancements to searching for messages
by filesystem location (`folder:` and `path:` prefixes under *General*
below). Saved searches in *Emacs* have also been enhanced to allow
distinct search orders for each one. Another enhancement to the
*Emacs* interface is that replies to encrypted messages are now
encrypted, reducing the risk of unintentional information disclosure.
The default dump output format has changed to the more robust
`batch-tag` format. The previously deprecated parsing of single
message mboxes has been removed. For detailed release notes, see
below.
General
-------
The `folder:` search prefix now requires an exact match
The `folder:` prefix has been changed to search for email messages
by the exact, case sensitive maildir or MH folder name. Wildcard
matching (`folder:foo*`) is no longer supported. The new behaviour
allows for more accurate mail folder based searches, makes it
possible to search for messages in the top-level folder, and should
lead to less surprising results than the old behaviour. Users are
advised to see the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details,
and review how the change affects their existing `folder:` searches.
There is a new `path:` search prefix.
The new `path:` search prefix complements the `folder:` prefix. The
`path:` prefix searches for email messages that are in particular
directories within the mail store, optionally recursively using a
special syntax. See the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for
details.
Notmuch database upgrade due to `folder:` and `path:` changes
The above mentioned changes to the `folder:` prefix and the addition
of `path:` prefix require a Notmuch database upgrade. This will be
done automatically, without prompting on the next time `notmuch new`
is run after the upgrade. The upgrade is not reversible, and the
upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of
Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the
`.notmuch` directory before upgrading.
Library changes
---------------
Notmuch database upgrade
The libnotmuch consumers are reminded to handle database upgrades
properly, either by relying on running `notmuch new`, or checking
`notmuch_database_needs_upgrade()` and calling
`notmuch_database_upgrade()` as necessary. This has always been the
case, but in practise there have been no database upgrades in any
released version of Notmuch before now.
Support for indexing mbox files has been dropped
There has never been proper support for mbox files containing
multiple messages, and the support for single-message mbox files has
been deprecated since Notmuch 0.15. The support has now been
dropped, and all mbox files will be rejected during indexing.
Message header parsing changes
Notmuch previously had an internal parser for message headers. The
parser has now been dropped in favour of letting GMime parse both
the headers and the message MIME structure at the same pass. This is
mostly an internal change, but the GMime parser is stricter in its
interpretation of the headers. This may result in messages with
slightly malformed message headers being now rejected.
Command-Line Interface
----------------------
`notmuch dump` now defaults to `batch-tag` format
The old format is still available with `--format=sup`.
`notmuch new` has a --quiet option
This option suppresses the progress and summary reports.
`notmuch insert` respects maildir.synchronize_flags config option
Do not synchronize tags to maildir flags in `notmuch insert` if the
user does not want it.
The commands set consistent exit status codes on failures
The cli commands now consistently set exit status of 1 on failures,
except where explicitly otherwise noted. The notable expections are
the status codes for format version mismatches for commands that
support formatted output.
Bug fix for checking configured new.tags for invalid tags
`notmuch new` and `notmuch insert` now check the user configured
new.tags for invalid tags, and refuse to apply them, similar to
`notmuch tag`. Invalid tags are currently the empty string and tags
starting with `-`.
Emacs Interface
---------------
Init file
If the file pointed by new variable `notmuch-init-file` (typically
`~/.emacs.d/notmuch-config.el`) exists, it is loaded at the end of
`notmuch.el`. Users can put their personal notmuch emacs lisp based
configuration/customization items there instead of filling
`~/.emacs` with these.
Changed format for saved searches
The format for `notmuch-saved-searches` has changed, but old style
saved searches are still supported. The new style means that a saved
search can store the desired sort order for the search, and it can
store a separate query to use for generating the count notmuch
shows.
The variable is fully customizable and any configuration done
through customize should *just work*, with the additional options
mentioned above. For manual customization see the documentation for
`notmuch-saved-searches`.
IMPORTANT: a new style notmuch-saved-searches variable will break
previous versions of notmuch-emacs (even search will not work); to
fix remove the customization for notmuch-saved-searches.
If you have a custom saved search sort function (not unsorted or
alphabetical) then the sort function will need to be
modified. Replacing (car saved-search) by (notmuch-saved-search-get
saved-search :name) and (cdr saved-search) by
(notmuch-saved-search-get saved-search :query) should be sufficient.
The keys of `notmuch-tag-formats` are now regexps
Previously, the keys were literal strings. Customized settings of
`notmuch-tag-formats` will continue to work as before unless tags
contain regexp special characters like `.` or `*`.
Changed tags are now shown in the buffer
Previously tag changes made in a buffer were shown immediately. In
some cases (particularly automatic tag changes like marking read)
this made it hard to see what had happened (e.g., whether the
message had been unread).
The changes are now shown explicitly in the buffer: by default
deleted tags are displayed with red strike-through and added tags
are displayed underlined in green (inverse video is used for deleted
tags if the terminal does not support strike-through).
The variables `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` and
`notmuch-tag-added-formats`, which have the same syntax as
`notmuch-tag-formats`, allow this to be customized.
Setting `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` to `'((".*" nil))` and
`notmuch-tag-added-formats` to `'((".*" tag))` will give the old
behavior of hiding deleted tags and showing added tags identically
to tags already present.
Version variable
The new, build-time generated variable `notmuch-emacs-version` is used
to distinguish between notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions.
The function `notmuch-hello-versions` (bound to 'v' in notmuch-hello
window) prints both notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions in case
these differ from each other.
This is especially useful when using notmuch remotely.
Ido-completing-read initialization in Emacs 23
`ido-completing-read` in Emacs 23 versions 1 through 3 freezes unless
it is initialized. Defadvice-based *Ido* initialization is defined
for these Emacs versions.
Bug fix for saved searches with newlines in them
Split lines confuse `notmuch count --batch`, so we remove embedded
newlines before calling notmuch count.
Bug fixes for sender identities
Previously, Emacs would rewrite some sender identities in unexpected
and undesirable ways. Now it will use identities exactly as
configured in `notmuch-identities`.
Replies to encrypted messages will be encrypted by default
In the interest of maintaining confidentiality of communications,
the Notmuch Emacs interface now automatically adds the mml tag to
encrypt replies to encrypted messages. This should make it less
likely to accidentally reply to encrypted messages in plain text.
Reply pushes mark before signature
We push mark and set point on reply so that the user can easily cut
the quoted text. The mark is now pushed before the signature, if
any, instead of end of buffer so the signature is preserved.
Message piping uses the originating buffer's working directory
`notmuch-show-pipe-message` now uses the originating buffer's
current default directory instead of that of the `*notmuch-pipe*`
buffer's.
nmbug
-----
nmbug adds a `clone` command for setting up the initial repository and
uses `@{upstream}` instead of `FETCH_HEAD` to track upstream changes.
The `@{upstream}` change reduces ambiguity when fetching multiple
branches, but requires existing users update their `NMBGIT`
repository (usually `~/.nmbug`) to distinguish between local and
remote-tracking branches. The easiest way to do this is:
1. If you have any purely local commits (i.e. they aren't in the
nmbug repository on nmbug.tethera.net), push them to a remote
repository. We'll restore them from the backup in step 4.
2. Remove your `NMBGIT` repository (e.g. `mv .nmbug .nmbug.bak`).
3. Use the new `clone` command to create a fresh clone:
nmbug clone http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
4. If you had local commits in step 1, add a remote for that
repository and fetch them into the new repository.
