1 Notmuch 0.13 (2012-xx-xx)
2 =========================
6 Tags can be automatically excluded from search results by adding them
7 to the new 'search.exclude_tags' option in the Notmuch config file.
9 This behaviour can be overridden by explicitly including an excluded
10 tag in your query, for example:
12 notmuch search $your_query and tag:$excluded_tag
14 Existing users will probably want to run "notmuch setup" again to add
15 the new well-commented [search] section to the configuration file.
17 For new configurations, accepting the default setting will cause the
18 tags "deleted" and "spam" to be excluded, equivalent to running:
20 notmuch config set search.exclude_tags deleted spam
22 Notmuch 0.12 (2012-xx-xx)
23 =========================
25 Command-Line Interface
26 ----------------------
30 "notmuch reply" has gained the ability to create a reply template
31 for replying just to the sender of the message, in addition to reply
32 to all. The feature is available through the new command line option
33 --reply-to=(all|sender).
35 Mail store folder/file ignore
37 A new configuration option, `new.ignore`, lets users specify a
38 ;-separated list of file and directory names that will not be
39 searched for messages by "notmuch new".
41 NOTE: *Every* file/directory that goes by one of those names will
42 be ignored, independent of its depth/location in the mail store.
44 Manual page for notmuch configuration options
46 The notmuch CLI configuration file options are now documented in the
47 notmuch-config(1) manual page in addition to the configuration file
55 The Emacs interface has, with the new CLI support, gained the
56 ability to reply to sender in addition to reply to all. In both show
57 and search modes, 'r' has been bound to reply to sender, replacing
58 reply to all, which now has key binding 'R'.
60 More flexible and consistent tagging operations
62 All tagging operations ("+", "-", "*") now accept multiple tags with
63 "+" or "-" prefix, like "*" operation in notmuch-search view before.
65 "*" operation (`notmuch-show-tag-all') is now available in
68 `Notmuch-show-{add,remove}-tag' functions no longer accept tag
69 argument, `notmuch-show-tag-message' should be used instead. Custom
70 bindings using these functions should be updated, e.g.:
72 (notmuch-show-remove-tag "unread")
76 (notmuch-show-tag-message "-unread")
78 Refreshing the show view ('=' by default) no longer opens or closes messages
80 To get the old behavior of putting messages back in their initial
81 opened/closed state, use a prefix argument, e.g., C-u =.
83 Attachment buttons can be used to view or save attachments.
85 When the cursor is on an attachment button the key 's' can be used
86 to save the attachment, the key 'v' to view the attachment in the
87 default mailcap application, and the key 'o' prompts the user for an
88 application to use to open the attachment. By default Enter or mouse
89 button 1 saves the attachment but this is customisable (option
90 Notmuch Show Part Button Default Action).
94 `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link{,-and-go}' allow stashing and
95 optionally visiting a URI to the current message at one of a number
96 of Mailing List Archives.
98 Fix MML tag quoting in replies
100 The MML tag quoting fix of 0.11.1 unintentionally quoted tags
101 inserted in `message-setup-hook'. Quoting is now limited to the
104 Show view archiving key binding changes
106 The show view archiving key bindings 'a' and 'x' now remove the
107 "inbox" tag from the current message only (instead of thread), and
108 move to the next message. At the last message, 'a' proceeds to the
109 next thread in search results, and 'x' returns to search
110 results. The thread archiving functions are now available in 'A' and
113 Support text/calendar MIME type
115 The text/calendar MIME type is now supported in addition to
118 Generate inline patch fake attachment file names from message subject
120 Use the message subject to generate file names for the inline patch
121 fake attachments. The names are now similar to the ones generated by
122 'git format-patch' instead of just "inline patch". See "Notmuch Show
123 Insert Text/Plain Hook" in the notmuch customize interface.
125 Enable `notmuch-search-line-faces' by default
127 Make the `notmuch-search-line-faces' functionality more discoverable
128 for new users by showing "unread" messages bold and "flagged"
129 messages blue by default in the search view.
136 notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude supports the new tag exclusion
139 Python bindings changes
140 -----------------------
142 Python 3.2 compatibility
144 The python bindings are now compatible with both python 2.5+ and 3.2.
146 Added missing unicode conversions
148 Python strings have to be encoded to and decoded from utf-8 when
149 calling libnotmuch functions. Porting the bindings to python 3.2
150 revealed a few function calls that were missing these conversions.
155 Compatibility with GMime 2.6
157 It is now possible to build notmuch against both GMime 2.4 and 2.6.
158 However, a bug in current GMime 2.6 causes notmuch not to report
159 signatures where the signer key is unavailable (GNOME bug 668085).
161 Notmuch 0.11.1 (2012-02-03)
162 ===========================
167 Fix error handling in python bindings.
169 The python bindings in 0.11 failed to detect NULL pointers being
170 returned from libnotmuch functions and thus failed to raise
171 exceptions to indicate the error condition. Any subsequent calls
172 into libnotmuch caused segmentation faults.
174 Quote MML tags in replies
176 MML tags are text codes that Emacs uses to indicate attachments
177 (among other things) in messages being composed. The Emacs
178 interface did not quote MML tags in the quoted text of a reply.
179 User could be tricked into replying to a maliciously formatted
180 message and not editing out the MML tags from the quoted text. This
181 could lead to files from the user's machine being attached to the
182 outgoing message. The Emacs interface now quotes these tags in
183 reply text, so that they do not effect outgoing messages.
185 Notmuch 0.11 (2012-01-13)
186 =========================
188 Command-Line Interface
189 ----------------------
193 Hooks have been introduced to notmuch. Hooks are scripts that notmuch
194 invokes before and after certain actions. Initially, "notmuch new"
195 supports "pre-new" and "post-new" hooks that are run before and after
196 importing new messages into the database.
198 notmuch reply --decrypt bugfix
200 The "notmuch reply" command with --decrypt argument had a rarely
201 occurring bug that caused an encrypted message not to be decrypted
202 sometimes. This is now fixed.
207 Automatic tag query optimization
209 "notmuch tag" now automatically optimizes the user's query to
210 exclude messages whose tags won't change. In the past, we've
211 suggested that people do this by hand; this is no longer necessary.
213 Don't sort messages when creating a dump file
215 This speeds up tag dumps considerably, without any loss of
216 information. To replicate the old behavior of sorted output (for
217 example to compare two dump files), one can use e.g. sort(1).
222 Reduction of memory leaks
224 Two memory leaks when searching and showing messages were identified
225 and fixed in this release.
232 notmuch-show-advance (bound to the spacebar in notmuch-show-mode) had
233 a bug that caused it to always jump to the next message, even if it
234 should have scrolled down to show more of the current message instead.
237 Support "notmuch new" as a notmuch-poll-script
239 It's now possible to use "notmuch new" as a notmuch-poll-script
240 directly. This is also the new default. This allows taking better
241 advantage of the "notmuch new" hooks from emacs without intermediate
244 Improvements in saved search management
246 New saved searches are now appended to the list of saved searches,
247 not inserted in front. It's also possible to define a sort function
248 for displaying saved searches; alphabetical sort is provided.
250 Hooks for notmuch-hello
252 Two new hooks have been added: "notmuch-hello-mode-hook" (called after
253 entering notmuch-hello-mode) and "notmuch-hello-refresh-hook" (called
254 after updating a notmuch-hello buffer).
256 New face for crypto parts headers
258 Crypto parts used to be displayed with a hardcoded color. A new face
259 has been introduced to fix this: notmuch-crypto-part-header. It
260 defaults to the same value as before, but can be customized to match
263 Use space as default thousands separator
265 Large numbers in notmuch-hello are now displayed using a space as
266 thousands separator (e.g. "123 456" instead of "123,456"). This can be
267 changed by customizing "notmuch-hello-thousands-separator".
269 Call notmuch-show instead of notmuch-search when clicking on
270 buttonized id: links.
272 New function notmuch-show-advance
274 This new function advances through just the current thread, and is
275 less invasive than notmuch-show-advance-and-archive. It can easily
276 be bound to SPC with:
278 (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map " " 'notmuch-show-advance)
280 Various performance improvements.
285 The tool contrib/notmuch-deliver helps with initial delivery and
286 tagging of mail (replacing running notmuch new).
289 Notmuch 0.10.2 (2011-12-04)
290 ===========================
295 Fix crash in python bindings.
297 The python bindings did not call g_type_init, which caused crashes
298 for some, but not all users.
300 Notmuch 0.10.1 (2011-11-25)
301 ===========================
308 Argument processing changes in 0.10 introduced a bug where "notmuch
309 --help" crashed while "notmuch help" worked fine. This is fixed in
312 Notmuch 0.10 (2011-11-23)
313 =========================
315 New build and testing features
316 ------------------------------
318 Emacs tests are now done in dtach. This means that dtach is now
319 needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for
320 prerequisites is improved.
322 Full test coverage of the stashing feature in Emacs.
324 New command-line features
325 -------------------------
327 Add "notmuch restore --accumulate" option
329 The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
330 applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from
333 Add search terms to "notmuch dump"
335 The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch
336 search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in
337 favour of using stdout.
339 Add "notmuch search" --offset and --limit options
341 The search command now takes options --offset=[-]N and --limit=N to limit
342 the number of results shown.
344 Add "notmuch count --output" option
346 The count command is now capable of counting threads in addition to
347 messages. This is selected using the new --output=(threads|messages) option.
349 New emacs UI features
350 ---------------------
352 Add tab-completion for notmuch-search and notmuch-search-filter
354 These functions now support completion tags for query parts
355 starting with "tag:".
357 Turn "id:MSG-ID" links into buttons associated with notmuch searches
359 Text of the form "id:MSG-ID" in mails is now a clickable button that
360 opens a notmuch search for the given message id.
362 Add keybinding ('c I') for stashing Message-ID's without an id: prefix
364 Reduces manual labour when stashing them for use outside notmuch.
366 Do not query on notmuch-search exit
368 It is harmless to kill the external notmuch process, so the user
369 is no longer interrogated when they interrupt a search.
374 Emacs now constructs large search buffers more efficiently
376 Search avoids opening and parsing message files
378 We now store more information in the database so search no longer
379 has to open every message file to get basic headers. This can
380 improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this
381 requires a database rebuild:
383 notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
384 # Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
386 notmuch restore notmuch.dump
388 New collection of add-on tools
389 ------------------------------
391 The source directory "contrib" contains tools built on notmuch. These
392 tools are not part of notmuch, and you should check their individual
393 licenses. Feel free to report problems with them to the notmuch
396 nmbug - share tags with a given prefix
398 nmbug helps maintain a git repo containing all tags with a given
399 prefix (by default "notmuch::"). Tags can be shared by commiting
400 them to git in one location and restoring in another.
402 Notmuch 0.9 (2011-10-01)
403 ========================
405 New, general features
406 ---------------------
408 Correct handling of interruptions during "notmuch new"
410 "notmuch new" now operates as a series of small, self-consistent
411 transactions, so it can correctly resume after an interruption or
412 crash. Previously, interruption could lose existing tags, fail to
413 detect messages on resume, or leave the database in a state
414 temporarily or permanently inconsistent with the mail store.
421 notmuch_database_begin_atomic and notmuch_database_end_atomic allow
422 multiple database operations to be performed atomically.
424 notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename does exactly what it says.
428 notmuch_database_find_message (and n_d_f_m_by_filename) now return
429 a status indicator and uses an output parameter for the
430 message. This change required changing the SONAME of libnotmuch to
433 Python bindings changes
434 -----------------------
436 - Re-encode python unicode objects to utf-8 before passing back to
438 - Support Database().begin_atomic()/end_atomic()
439 - Support Database().find_message_by_filename()
440 NB! This needs a db opened in READ-WRITE mode currently, or it will crash
441 the python process. The is a limitation (=bug) of the underlying libnotmuch.
442 - Fixes where we would not throw NotmuchErrors when we should (Justus Winter)
443 - Update for n_d_find_message* API changes (see above).
445 Ruby bindings changes
446 ---------------------
448 - Wrap new library functions notmuch_database_{begin,end}_atomic.
449 - Add new exception Notmuch::UnbalancedAtomicError.
450 - Rename destroy to destroy! according to Ruby naming conventions.
451 - Update for n_d_find_message* API changes (see above).
456 * Add gpg callback to crypto sigstatus buttons to retrieve/refresh
458 * Add notmuch-show-refresh-view function (and corresponding binding)
459 to refresh the view of a notmuch-show buffer.
461 Reply formatting cleanup
462 ------------------------
464 "notmuch reply" no longer includes notification that non-leafnode
465 MIME parts are being suppressed.
467 Notmuch 0.8 (2011-09-10)
468 ========================
470 Improved handling of message/rfc822 parts
472 Both in the CLI and the emacs interface. Output of rfc822 parts now
473 includes the primary headers, as well as the body and all subparts.
474 Output of the completely raw rfc822-formatted message, including all
475 headers, is unfortunately not yet supported (but hopefully will be
478 Improved Build system portability
480 Certain parts of the shell script generating notmuch.sym were
481 specific to the GNU versions of sed and nm. The new version should
482 be more portable to e.g. OpenBSD.
484 Documentation update for Ruby bindings
486 Added documentation, typo fixes, and improved support for rdoc.
488 Unicode, iterator, PEP8 changes for python bindings
490 - PEP8 (code formatting) changes for python files.
491 - Remove Tags.__len__ ; see 0.6 release notes for motivation.
492 - Decode headers as UTF8, encode (unicode) database paths as UTF8.
494 Notmuch 0.7 (2011-08-01)
495 ========================
497 Vim interface improvements
498 --------------------------
500 Jason Woofenden provided a number of bug fixes for the Vim interface
502 * fix citation/signature fold lengths
503 * fix cig/cit parsing within multipart/*
504 * fix on-screen instructions for show-signature
505 * fix from list reformatting in search view
506 * fix space key: now archives (did opposite)
508 Uwe Kleine-König contributed
510 * use full path for sendmail/doc fix
511 * fix compose temp file name
513 Python Bindings changes
514 -----------------------
516 Sebastian Spaeth contributed two changes related to unicode and UTF8:
518 * message tags are now explicitly unicode
519 * query string is encoded as a UTF8 byte string
521 Build-System improvements
522 ------------------------
524 Generate notmuch.sym after the relevant object files
526 This fixes a bug in parallel building. Thanks to Thomas Jost for the
529 Notmuch 0.6.1 (2011-07-17)
530 ==========================
535 Re-export Xapian exception typeinfo symbols.
537 It turned out our aggressive symbol hiding caused problems for
538 people running gcc 4.4.5.
540 Notmuch 0.6 (2011-07-01)
541 =======================
542 New, general features
543 ---------------------
544 Folder-based searching
546 Notmuch queries can now include a search term to match the
547 directories in which mail files are stored (within the mail
548 storage). The syntax is as follows:
552 For example, one might use things such as:
558 to match any path containing a directory "spam", "work/todo", or
559 containing a directory starting with "2011-", respectively.
561 This feature is particularly useful for users of delivery-agent
562 software (such as procmail or maildrop) that is filtering mail and
563 delivering it to particular folders, or users of systems such as
564 Gmail that use filesystem directories to indicate message tags.
566 NOTE: Only messages that are newly indexed with this version of
567 notmuch will be searchable with folder: terms. In order to enable
568 this feature for all mail, the entire notmuch index will need to be
571 notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
572 # Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
574 notmuch restore notmuch.dump
578 Both the command line interface and the emacs-interface have new
579 support for PGP/MIME, detailed below. Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor
580 and Jameson Graef Rollins for making this happen.
582 New, automatic tags: "signed" and "encrypted"
584 These tags will automatically be applied to messages containing
585 multipart/signed and multipart/encrypted parts.
587 NOTE: Only messages that are newly indexed with this version of
588 notmuch will receive these tags.
590 New command-line features
591 -------------------------
592 Add new "notmuch show --verify" option for signature verification
594 This option instruct notmuch to verify the signature of
595 PGP/MIME-signed parts.
597 Add new "notmuch show --decrypt" and "notmuch reply --decrypt" options
599 This option instructs notmuch to decrypt PGP/MIME-encrypted parts.
600 Note that this feature currently requires gpg-agent and a passphrase entry
601 tool (e.g. pinentry-gtk or pinentry-curses).
603 Proper nesting of multipart parts in "notmuch show" output
605 MIME parts are now display with proper nesting to reflect original
606 MIME hierarchy of a message. This allows clients to correctly
607 analyze the MIME structure, (such as, for example, determining to
608 which parts a signature part applies).
610 Add new "notmuch show --part" option
612 This is a replacement for the older "notmuch part" command, (which
613 is now deprecated—it should still work as always, but is no longer
614 documented). Putting part output under "notmuch show" allows for all
615 of the "notmuch show" options to be applied when extracting a single
616 part, (such as --format=json for extracting a message part with JSON
619 Deprecate "notmuch search-tags", (in favor of "notmuch search --output=tags *")
621 The "notmuch search-tags" sub-command has been redundant since the
622 addition of the --output=tags option to "notmuch search". We now
623 make that more clear by deprecating "notmuch search-tags", (dropping
624 it from the documentation). We do continue to support the old syntax
625 by translating it internally to the new call.
627 Performance improvements
628 ------------------------
629 Faster searches (by doing fewer searches to construct threads)
631 Whenever a user asks for search results as threads, notmuch first
632 performs a search for messages matching the query, then performs
633 additional searches to find other messages in the resulting threads.
635 Removing inefficiencies and redundancies in these secondary searches
636 results in a measured speedups of 1.5x for a typical search.
638 Faster searches (by doing fewer passes to gather message data)
640 Optimizing Xapian data access patterns (using a single pass to get
641 all message-document data rather than a pass for each data type)
642 results in a measured speedup of 1.7x for a typical search.
644 The benefits of this optimization combine with the preceding
645 optimization. With both in place, Austin Clements measured a speedup
646 of 2.5x for a search of all messages in his inbox (was 4.5s, now
647 1.8s). Thanks, Austin!
649 Faster initial indexing
651 More efficient indexing of new messages results in a measured
652 speedup of 1.4x for the initial indexing of 3 GB of mail (1h 14m
653 rather than 1h 46m). Thanks to Austin Clements and Michal Sojka.
655 Make "notmuch new" faster for unchanged directories
657 Optimizing to not do any further examinations of sub-directories
658 when the filesystem indicates that a directory is unchanged from the
659 last "notmuch new" results in measured speedups of 8.5 for the "No
660 new mail" case, (was 0.77s, now 0.09s). Thanks to Karel Zak.
662 New emacs-interface features
663 ----------------------------
665 Support for PGP/MIME (GnuPG)
667 Automatically indicate validity of signatures for multipart/signed
668 messages. Automatically display decrypted content for
669 multipart/encrypted messages. See the emacs variable
670 notmuch-crypto-process-mime for more information. Note that this
671 needs gpg-agent and a pinentry tool just as the command line tools.
672 Also note there is no support SMIME yet.
674 Output of pipe command is now displayed if pipe command fails
676 This is extremely useful in the common use case of piping a patch to
677 "git am". If git fails to cleanly merge the patch the error messages
678 from the failed merge are now clearly displayed to the user, (where
679 previously they were silently hidden from the user).
681 User-selectable From address
683 A user can choose which configured email addresses should be used as
684 the From address whenever composing a new message. To do so, simply
685 press C-u before the command which will open a new message. Emacs
686 will prompt for the from address to use.
688 The user can customize the "Notmuch Identities" setting in the
689 notmuch customize group in order to use addresses other than those in
690 the notmuch configuration file if desired.
692 The user can also choose to always be prompted for the from address
693 when composing a new message (without having to use C-u) by setting
694 the "Notmuch Always Prompt For Sender" option in the notmuch
697 Hiding of repeated subjects in collapsed thread view
699 In notmuch-show mode, if a collapsed message has the same subject as
700 its parent, the subject is not shown.
702 Automatic detection and hiding of original message in top-posted message
704 When a message contains a line looking something like:
706 ----- Original Message -----
708 emacs hides this and all subsequent lines as an "original message",
709 (allowing the user to click or press enter on the "original message"
710 button to display it again). This makes the handling of top-posted
711 citations work much like conventional citations.
713 New hooks for running code when tags are modified
715 Some users want to perform additional actions whenever a particular
716 tag is added/removed from a message. This could be used to, for
717 example, interface with some external spam-recognition training
718 tool. To facilitate this, two new hooks are added which can be
719 modified in the following settings of the notmuch customize group:
721 Notmuch Before Tag Hook
722 Notmuch After Tag Hook
724 New optional support for hiding some multipart/alternative parts
726 Many emails are sent with redundant content within a
727 multipart/alternative group (such as a text/plain part as well as a
728 text/html part). Users can configure the setting:
730 Notmuch Show All Multipart/Alternative Parts
732 to "off" in the notmuch customize group to have the interface
733 automatically hide some part alternatives (such as text/html
734 parts). This new part hiding is not configured by default yet
735 because there's not yet a simple way to re-display such a hidden
736 part if it is not actually redundant with a displayed part.
738 Better rendering of text/x-vcalendar parts
740 These parts are now displayed in a format suitable for use with the
743 Avoid getting confused by Subject and Author fields with newline characters
745 Replacing all characters with ASCII code less than 32 with a question mark.
747 Cleaner display of From line in email messages (remove double quotes,
748 and drop "name" if it's actually just a repeat of the email address).
750 Vim interface improvements
751 --------------------------
752 Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface:
754 * Using sendmail directly rather than mailx,
755 * Implementing archive in show view
756 * Add support to mark as read in show and search views
757 * Add delete commands
760 Bindings improvements
761 ---------------------
762 Ruby bindings are now much more complete
764 Including QUERY.sort, QUERY.to_s, MESSAGE.maildir_flags_to_tags,
765 MESSAGE.tags_to_maildir_flags, and MESSAGE.get_filenames
767 * Python bindings have been updated and extended
768 (docs online at http://packages.python.org/notmuch/)
771 - Message().get_filenames(),
772 - Message().tags_to_maildir_flags(),Message().maildir_flags_to_tags()
773 - list(Threads()) and list(Messages) works now
775 - Message().__cmp__() and __hash__()
776 These allow, for example:
779 As well as set arithmetic on Messages():
781 s1, s2= set(msgs1), set(msgs2)
786 - len(Messages()) as it exhausted the iterator.
787 Use len(list(Messages())) or
788 Query.count_messages() to get the length.
790 Added initial Go bindings in bindings/go
792 New build-system features
793 -------------------------
794 Added support for building in a directory other than the source directory
796 This can be used with the widely-supported idiom of simply running
797 the configure script from some other directory:
804 Fix to save configure options for future, implicit runs of configure
806 When a user updates the source (such as with "git pull") calling
807 "make" may cause an automatic re-run of the configure script. When
808 this happens, the configure script will automatically be called with
809 the same options the user originally passed in the most-recent
810 manual invocation of configure.
812 New test-suite feature
813 ----------------------
814 Binary for bash for running test suite now located via PATH.
816 The notmuch test suite requires a fairly recent version of bash (>=
817 bash 4). As some systems supply an older version of bash at
818 /bin/bash, the test suite is now updated to search $PATH to locate
819 the bash binary. This allows users of systems with old /bin/bash to
820 simply install bash >= 4 somewhere on $PATH before /bin and then use
823 Support for testing output with a trailing newline.
825 Previously, some tests would fail to notice a difference in the
826 presence/absence of a trailing newline in a program output, (which
827 has led to bugs in the past). Now, carefully-written tests (using
828 test_expect_equal_file rather than test_expect_equal) will detect
829 any change in the presence/absence of a trailing newline. Many tests
830 are updated to take advantage of this.
832 Avoiding accessing user's $HOME while running test suite
834 The test suite now carefully creates its own HOME directory. This
835 allows the test suite to be run with no existing HOME directory, (as
836 some build systems apparently do), and avoids test-suite differences
837 due to configuration files in the users HOME directory.
842 Output *all* files for "notmuch search --output=files"
844 For the cases where multiple files have the same Message ID,
845 previous versions of notmuch would output only one such file. This
846 command is now fixed to correctly output all files.
848 Fixed spurious search results from "overlapped" indexing of addresses
850 This fixed a bug where a search for:
852 to:user@elsewhere.com
854 would incorrectly match a message sent:
856 To: user@example,com, someone@elsewhere.com
858 Fix --output=json when search has no results
860 A bug present since notmuch 0.4 had caused searches with no results
861 to produce an invalid json object. This is now fixed to cleanly
862 return a valid json object representing an empty array "[]" as
865 fix the automatic detection of the From address for "notmuch reply"
866 from the Received headers in some cases.
868 Fix core dump on DragonFlyBSD due to -1 return value from
869 sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX).
871 Cleaned up several memory leaks
873 Eliminated a few, rare segmentation faults and a double-free.
875 Fix libnotmuch library to only export notmuch API functions
877 Previous release of the notmuch library also exported some Xapian
878 C++ exception type symbols. These were never part of the library
879 interface and were never intended to be exported.
881 Emacs-interface bug fixes
882 -------------------------
883 Display any unexpected output or errors from "notmuch search" invocations
885 Previously any misformatted output or trailing error messages were
886 silently ignored. This output is now clearly displayed. This fix was
887 very helpful in identifying and fixing the bug described below.
889 Fix bug where some threads would be missing from large search results
891 When a search returned a "large" number of results, the emacs
892 interface was incorrectly dropping one thread every time the output
893 of the "notmuch search" process spanned the emacs read-buffer. This
896 Avoid re-compression of .gz files (and similar) when saving attachment
898 Emacs was being too clever for its own good and trying to
899 re-compress pre-compressed .gz files when saving such attachments
900 (potentially corrupting the attachment). The emacs interface is
901 fixed to avoid this bug.
903 Fix hiding of a message when a previously-hidden citation is visible
905 Previously the citation would remain visible in this case. This is
906 fixed so that hiding a message hides all parts.
908 Notmuch 0.5 (2010-11-11)
909 ========================
910 New, general features
911 ---------------------
912 Maildir-flag synchronization
914 Notmuch now knows how to synchronize flags in maildir filenames with
915 tags in the notmuch database. The following flag/tag mappings are
924 'S' unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
926 The synchronization occurs in both directions, (for example, adding
927 the 'S' flag to a file will cause the "unread" tag to be added, and
928 adding the "replied" tag to a message will cause the file to be
929 renamed with an 'R' flag).
931 This synchronization is enabled by default for users of the
932 command-line interface, (though only files in directories named
933 "cur" or "new" will be renamed). It can be disabled by setting the
934 new maildir.synchronize_flags option in the configuration file. For
937 notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false
939 Users upgrading may also want to run "notmuch setup" once (just
940 accept the existing configuration) to get a new, nicely-commented
941 [maildir] section added to the configuration file.
943 For users of the notmuch library, the new synchronization
944 functionality is available with the following two new functions:
946 notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
947 notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
949 It is anticipated that future improvements to this support will
950 allow for safe synchronization of the 'T' flag with the "deleted"
951 tag, as well as support for custom flag/tag mappings.
955 Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message
957 It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the
958 same message ID. Previously, notmuch would always hide these
959 duplicate files, (returning a single, arbitrary filename with
960 notmuch_message_get_filename).
962 With this release, library users can access all filenames for a
963 message with the new function:
965 notmuch_message_get_filenames
967 Together with notmuch_filenames_valid, notmuch_filenames_get, and
968 notmuch_filenames_move_to_next it is now possible to iterate over
969 all available filenames for a given message.
971 New command-line features
972 -------------------------
973 New "notmuch show --format=raw" for getting at original email contents
975 This new feature allows for a fully-functional email client to be
976 built on top of the notmuch command-line without needing any direct
977 access to the mail store itself.
979 For example, it's now possible to run "emacs -f notmuch" on a local
980 machine with only ssh access to the mail store/notmuch database. To
981 do this, simply set the notmuch-command variable in emacs to the
982 name of a script containing:
984 ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
986 If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster
987 option in OpenSSH), the emacs interface can be quite responsive this
992 Fix "notmuch search" to print nothing when nothing matches
994 The 0.4 release had a bug in which:
996 notmuch search <expression-with-no-matches>
998 would produce a single blank line of output, (where previous
999 versions would produce no output. This fix also causes a change in
1000 the --format=json output, (which would previously produce "[]" and
1001 now produces nothing).
1003 Emacs interface improvements
1004 ----------------------------
1005 Fix to allow pipe ('|') command to work when using notmuch over ssh
1007 Fix count of lines in hidden signatures.
1009 Omit repeated subject lines in (collapsed) thread display.
1011 Display current thread subject in a header line.
1013 Provide a "c i" binding to copy a thread ID from the search view.
1015 Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil.
1017 Also, the more complex form of notmuch-fcc-dirs now has a slightly
1018 different format. It no longer has a special first-element, fallback
1019 string. Instead it's now a list of cons cells where the car of each
1020 cell is a regular expression to be matched against the sender
1021 address, and the cdr is the name of a folder to use for an FCC. So
1022 the old fallback behavior can be achieved by including a final cell
1023 of (".*" . "default-fcc-folder").
1025 Vim interface improvements
1026 --------------------------
1027 Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface.
1029 These include optimizations, support for newer versions of vim, fixed
1030 support for sending mail on modern systems, new commands, and
1035 Added initial ruby bindings in bindings/ruby
1037 Notmuch 0.4 (2010-11-01)
1038 ========================
1039 New command-line features
1040 -------------------------
1041 notmuch search --output=(summary|threads|messages|tags|files)
1043 This new option allows for particular items to be returned from
1044 notmuch searches. The "summary" option is the default and behaves
1045 just as "notmuch search" has historically behaved.
1047 The new option values allow for thread IDs, message IDs, lists of
1048 tags, and lists of filenames to be returned from searches. It is
1049 expected that this new option will be very useful in shell
1050 scripts. For example:
1052 for file in $(notmuch search --output=files <search-terms>); do
1053 <operations-on> "$file"
1056 notmuch show --format=mbox <search-specification>
1058 This new option allows for the messages matching a search
1059 specification to be presented as an mbox. Specifically the "mboxrd"
1060 format is used which allows for reversible quoting of lines
1061 beginning with "From ". A reader should remove a single '>' from the
1062 beginning of all lines beginning with one or more '>' characters
1063 followed by the 5 characters "From ".
1065 notmuch config [get|set] <section>.<item> [value ...]
1067 The new top-level "config" command allows for any value in the
1068 notmuch configuration file to be queried or set to a new value. Both
1069 single-valued and multi-valued items are supported, as our any
1070 custom items stored in the configuration file.
1072 Avoid setting Bcc header in "notmuch reply"
1074 We decided that this was a bit heavy-handed as the actual mail
1075 user-agent should be responsible for setting any Bcc option. Also,
1076 see below for the notmuch/emacs user-agent now setting an Fcc by
1077 default rather than Bcc.
1079 New library features
1080 --------------------
1081 Add notmuch_query_get_query_string and notmuch_query_get_sort
1083 These are simply functions for querying properties of a
1084 notmuch_query_t object.
1088 Enable Fcc of all sent messages by default (to "sent" directory)
1090 All messages sent from the emacs interface will now be saved to the
1091 notmuch mail store where they will be incorporated to the database
1092 by the next "notmuch new". By default, messages are saved to the
1093 "sent" directory at the top-level of the mail store. This directory
1094 can be customized by means of the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" option in the
1095 notmuch customize interface.
1097 Ability to all open messages in a thread to a pipe
1099 Historically, the '|' keybinding allows for piping a single message
1100 to an external command. Now, by prefixing this key with a prefix
1101 argument, (for example, by pressing "Control-U |"), all open
1102 messages in the current thread will be sent to the external command.
1104 Optional support for detecting inline patches
1106 This hook is disabled by default but can be enabled with a checkbox
1107 under "Notmuch Show Insert Text/Plain Hook" in the notmuch customize
1108 interface. It allows for inline patches to be detected and treated
1109 as if they were attachments, (with context-sensitive highlighting).
1111 Automatically tag messages as "replied" when sending a reply
1113 Messages replied to within the emacs interface will now be tagged as
1114 "replied". This feature can easily be customized to add or remove
1115 other tags as well. For example, a user might use a tag of
1116 "needs-reply" and can configure this feature to automatically remove
1117 that tag when replying. See "Notmuch Message Mark Replied" in the
1118 notmuch customize interface.
1120 Allow search-result color specifications to overlay each other
1122 For example, one tag can specify the background color of matching
1123 lines, while another can specify the foreground. With this change,
1124 both settings will now be visible simultaneously, (which was not the
1125 case in previous releases). See "Notmuch Search Line Faces" in the
1126 notmuch customize interface.
1128 Make hidden author names still available for incremental search.
1130 When there is insufficient space to display all authors of a thread
1131 in search results, the names of hidden authors are now still made
1132 available to emacs' incremental search commands. As the user
1133 searches, matching lines will temporarily expand to show the hidden
1136 New binding of Control-TAB (works like TAB in reverse)
1138 Many notmuch nodes already use TAB to navigate forward through
1139 various items allowing actions, (message headers, email attachments,
1140 etc.). The new Control-TAB binding operates similarly but in the
1143 New build-system features
1144 -------------------------
1145 Various portability fixes have been applied
1147 These include fixes for build failures on at least Solaris, FreeBSD,
1148 and Fedora systems. We're hopeful that the notmuch code base is now
1149 more portable than ever before.
1151 Arrange for libnotmuch to be found automatically after make install
1153 The notmuch build system is now careful to help the user avoid
1154 errors of the form "libnotmuch.so could not be found" immediately
1155 after installing. This support takes two forms:
1157 1. If the library is installed to a system directory,
1158 (configured in /etc/ld.so.conf), then "make install" will
1159 automatically run ldconfig.
1161 2. If the library is installed to a non-system directory, the
1162 build system adds a DR_RUNPATH entry to the final binary
1163 pointing to the directory to which the library is installed.
1165 When this support works, the user should be able to run notmuch
1166 immediately after "make install", without any errors trying to find
1167 the notmuch library, and without having to manually set environment
1168 variables such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
1170 Check compiler/linker options before using them
1172 The configure script now carefully checks that any desired
1173 compilation options, (whether for enabling compiler warnings, or for
1174 embedding rpath, etc.), are supported. Only supported options are
1175 used in the resulting Makefile.
1177 New test-suite features
1178 -----------------------
1179 New modularization of test suite.
1181 Thanks to a gracious relicensing of the test-suite infrastructure
1182 from the git project, notmuch now has a modular test suite. This
1183 provides the ability to run individual sections of the test suite
1184 rather than the whole things. It also provides better summary of
1185 test results, with support for tests that are expected to fail
1186 (BROKEN and FIXED) in addition to PASS and FAIL. Finally, it makes
1187 it easy to run the test suite within valgrind (pass --valgrind to
1188 notmuch-test or to any sub-script) which has been very useful.
1190 New testing of emacs interface.
1192 The test suite has been augmented to allow automated testing of the
1193 emacs interfaces. So far, this includes basic searches, display of
1194 threads, and tag manipulation. This also includes a test that a new
1195 message can successfully be sent out through a (dummy) SMTP server
1196 and that said message is successfully integrated into the notmuch
1197 database via the FCC setting.
1201 Fix potential corruption of database when "notmuch new " is interrupted.
1203 Previously, an interruption of "notmuch new" would (rarely) result
1204 in a corrupt database. The corruption would manifest itself by a
1205 persistent error of the form:
1207 document ID of 1234 has no thread ID
1209 The message-adding code has been carefully audited and reworked to
1210 avoid this sort of corruption regardless of when it is interrupted.
1212 Fix failure with extremely long message ID headers.
1214 Previously, a message with an extremely long message ID, (say, more
1215 than 300 characters), would fail to be added to notmuch, (triggering
1216 Xapian exceptions). This has now been fixed.
1218 Fix for messages with "charset=unknown-8bit"
1220 Previously, messages with this charset would cause notmuch to emit a
1221 GMime warning, (which would then trip up emacs or other interfaces
1222 parsing the notmuch results).
1224 Fix notmuch_query_search_threads function to return NULL on any exception
1226 Fix "notmuch search" to return non-zero if notmuch_query_search_threads fails
1228 Previously, this command could confusingly report a Xapian
1229 exception, yet still return an error code of 0. It now correctly
1230 returns a failing error code of 1 in this case.
1234 Fix to handle a message with a subject containing, for example "[1234]"
1236 Previously, a message subject containing a sequence of digits within
1237 square brackets would cause the emacs interface to mis-parse the
1238 output of "notmuch search". This would result in the message being
1239 mis-displayed and prevent the user from manipulating the message in
1240 the emacs interface.
1242 Fix to correctly handle message IDs containing ".."
1244 The emacs interface now properly quotes message IDs to avoid a
1245 Xapian bug in which the ".." within a message ID would be
1246 misinterpreted as a numeric range specification.
1248 Python-binding fixes
1249 --------------------
1250 The python bindings for notmuch have been updated to work with python3.
1252 Debian-specific fixes
1253 ---------------------
1254 Fix emacs initialization so "M-x notmuch" works for users by default.
1256 Now, a new Debian user can immediately run "emacs -f notmuch" after
1257 "apt-get install notmuch". Previously, the user would have had to
1258 edit the ~/.emacs file to add "(require 'notmuch)" before this would
1261 Notmuch 0.3.1 (2010-04-27)
1262 ==========================
1265 Fix an infinite loop in "notmuch reply"
1267 This bug could be triggered by replying to a message where the
1268 user's primary email address did not appear in the To: header and
1269 the user had not configured any secondary email addresses. The bug
1270 was a simple re-use of the same iterator variable in nested loops.
1272 Fix a potential SEGV in "notmuch search"
1274 This bug could be triggered by an author name ending in a ','.
1275 Admittedly - that's almost certainly a spam email, but we never
1276 want notmuch to crash.
1280 Fix calculations for line wrapping in the primary "notmuch" view.
1282 Fix Fcc support to prompt to create a directory if the specified Fcc
1283 directory does not exist.
1287 Fix build on OpenSolaris (at least) due to missing 'extern "C"' block.
1289 Without this, the C++ sources could not find strcasestr and the
1290 final linking of notmuch would fail.
1292 Notmuch 0.3 (2010-04-27)
1293 ========================
1294 New command-line features
1295 -------------------------
1296 User-configurable tags for new messages
1298 A new "new.tags" option is available in the configuration file to
1299 determine which tags are applied to new messages. Run "notmuch
1300 setup" to generate new documentation within ~/.notmuch-config on how
1301 to specify this value.
1303 Threads search results named based on subjects that match search
1305 This means that when new mails arrived to a thread you've previously
1306 read, and the new mails have a new subject, you will see that
1307 subject in the search results rather than the old subject.
1309 Faster operation of "notmuch tag" (avoid unneeded sorting)
1311 Since the user just wants to tag all matching messages, we can make
1312 things perform a bit faster by avoiding the sort.
1314 Even Better guessing of From: header for "notmuch reply"
1316 Notmuch now looks at a number of headers when trying to figure out
1317 the best From: header to use in a reply. This is helpful if you have
1318 several configured email addresses, and you also subscribe to various
1319 mailing lists with different addresses, (so that mails you are
1320 replying to won't always include your subscribed address in the To:
1323 Indication of author names that match a search
1325 When notmuch displays threads as the result of a search, it now
1326 lists the authors that match the search before listing the other
1327 authors in the thread. It inserts a pipe '|' symbol between the last
1328 matching and first non-matching author. This is especially useful in
1329 a search that includes tag:unread. Now the authors of the unread
1330 messages in the thread are listed first.
1332 New: Python bindings
1333 --------------------
1334 Sebastian Spaeth has contributed his python bindings for the notmuch
1335 library to the central repository. These bindings were previously
1336 known as "cnotmuch" within python but have now been renamed to be
1337 accessible with a simple, and more official-looking "import notmuch".
1339 The bindings have already proven very useful as people proficient in
1340 python have been able to easily develop programs to do notmuch-based
1341 searches for email-address completion, maildir-flag synchronization,
1344 These bindings are available within the bindings/python directory, but
1345 are not yet integrated into the top-level Makefiles, nor the top-level
1346 package-building scripts. Improvements are welcome.
1348 Emacs interface improvements
1349 ----------------------------
1350 An entirely new initial view for notmuch, (friendly yet powerful)
1352 Some of us call the new view "notmuch hello" but you can get at it
1353 by simply calling "emacs -f notmuch". The new view provides a search
1354 bar where new searches can be performed. It also displays a list of
1355 recent searches, along with a button to save any of these, giving it
1356 a new name as a "saved search". Many people find these "saved
1357 searches" one of the most convenient ways of organizing their mail,
1358 (providing all of the features of "folders" in other mail clients,
1359 but without any of the disadvantages).
1361 Finally, this view can also optionally display all of the tags that
1362 exist in the database, along with a count for each tag, and a custom
1363 search of messages with that tag that's simply a click (or keypress)
1366 Note: For users that liked the original mode of "emacs -f notmuch"
1367 immediately displaying a particular search result, we
1368 recommend instead running something like:
1370 emacs --eval '(notmuch search "tag:inbox" t)'
1372 The "t" means to sort the messages in an "oldest first" order,
1373 (as notmuch would do previously by default). You can also
1374 leave that off to have your search results in "newest first"
1377 Full-featured "customize" support for configuring notmuch
1379 Notmuch now plugs in well to the emacs "customize" mode to make it
1380 much simpler to find things about the notmuch interface that can be
1381 tweaked by the user.
1383 You can get to this mode by starting at the main "Customize" menu in
1384 emacs, then browsing through "Applications", "Mail", and
1385 "Notmuch". Or you can go straight to "M-x customize-group"
1388 Once you're at the customize screen, you'll see a list of documented
1389 options that can be manipulated along with checkboxes, drop-down
1390 selectors, and text-entry boxes for configuring the various
1393 Support for doing tab-completion of email addresses
1395 This support currently relies on an external program,
1396 (notmuch-addresses), that is not yet shipped with notmuch
1397 itself. But multiple, suitable implementations of this program have
1398 already been written that generate address completions by doing
1399 notmuch searches of your email collection. For example, providing
1400 first those addresses that you have composed messages to in the
1403 One such program (implemented in python with the python bindings to
1404 notmuch) is available via:
1406 git clone http://jkr.acm.jhu.edu/git/notmuch_addresses.git
1408 Install that program as notmuch-addresses on your PATH, and then
1409 hitting TAB on a partial email address or name within the To: or Cc:
1410 line of an email message will provide matching completions.
1412 Support for file-based (Fcc) delivery of sent messages to mail store
1414 This isn't yet enabled by default. To enable this, one will have to
1415 set the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" setting within the notmuch customize
1416 screen, (see its documentation there for details). We anticipate
1417 making this automatic in a future release.
1419 New 'G' key binding to trigger mail refresh (G == "Get new mail")
1421 The 'G' key works wherever '=' works. Before refreshing the screen
1422 it calls an external program that can be used to poll email servers,
1423 run notmuch new and setup specific tags for the new emails. The
1424 script to be called should be configured with the "Notmuch Poll
1425 Script" setting in the customize interface. This script will
1426 typically invoke "notmuch new" and then perhaps several "notmuch
1429 Implement emacs message display with the JSON output from notmuch.
1431 This is much more robust than the previous implementation, (where
1432 some HTML mails and mail quoting the notmuch code with the delimiter
1433 characters in it would cause the parser to fall over).
1435 Better handling of HTML messages and MIME attachments (inline images!)
1437 Allow for any MIME parts that emacs can display to be displayed
1438 inline. This includes inline viewing of image attachments, (provided
1439 the window is large enough to fit the image at its natural size).
1441 Much more robust handling of HTML messages. Currently both text/plain
1442 and text/html alternates will be rendered next to each other. In a
1443 future release, users will be able to decide to see only one or the
1444 other representation.
1446 Each attachment now has its own button so that attachments can be
1447 saved individually (the 'w' key is still available to save all
1450 Customizable support for tidying of text/plain message content
1452 Many new functions are available for tidying up message
1453 content. These include options such as wrapping long lines,
1454 compressing duplicate blank lines, etc.
1456 Most of these are disabled by default, but can easily be enabled by
1457 clicking the available check boxes under the "Notmuch Show Insert
1458 Text/Plain Hook" within the notmuch customize screen.
1460 New support for searchable citations (even when hidden)
1462 When portions of overly-long citations are hidden, the contents of
1463 these citations will still be available for emacs' standard
1464 "incremental search" functions. When the search matches any portion
1465 of a hidden citation, the citation will become visible temporarily
1466 to display the search result.
1468 More flexible handling of header visibility
1470 As an answer to complaints from many users, the To, Cc, and Date
1471 headers of messages are no longer hidden by default. For those users
1472 that liked that these were hidden, a new "Notmuch Messages Headers
1473 Visible" option in the customize interface can be set to nil. The
1474 visibility of headers can still be toggled on a per-message basis
1475 with the 'h' keybinding.
1477 For users that don't want to see some subset of those headers, the
1478 new "Notmuch Message Headers" variable can be customized to list
1479 only those headers that should be present in the display of a message.
1481 The Return key now toggles message visibility anywhere
1483 Previously this worked only on the first summary-line of a message.
1485 Customizable formatting of search results
1487 The user can easily customize the order, width, and formatting of
1488 the various fields in a "notmuch search" buffer. See the "Notmuch
1489 Search Result Format" section of the customize interface.
1491 Generate nicer names for search buffers when using a saved search.
1493 Add a notmuch User-Agent header when sending mail from notmuch/emacs.
1495 New keybinding (M-Ret) to open all collapsed messages in a thread.
1499 Provide a new NOTMUCH_SORT_UNSORTED value for queries
1501 This can be somewhat faster when sorting simply isn't desired. For
1502 example when collecting a set of messages that will all be
1503 manipulated identically, (adding a tag, removing a tag, deleting the
1504 messages), then there's no advantage to sorting the messages by
1509 Fix to compile against GMime 2.6
1511 Previously notmuch insisted on being able to find GMime 2.4, (even
1512 though GMime 2.6 would have worked all along).
1514 Fix configure script to accept (and ignore) various standard options.
1516 For example, those that the Gentoo build scripts expect configure to
1517 accept are now all accepted.
1521 A large number of new tests for the many new features.
1523 Better display of output from failed tests.
1525 Now shows failures with diff rather than forcing the user to gaze at
1526 complete actual and expected output looking for deviation.
1528 Notmuch 0.2 (2010-04-16)
1529 ========================
1530 This is the second release of the notmuch mail system, with actual
1531 detailed release notes this time!
1533 This release consists of a number of minor new features that make
1534 notmuch more pleasant to use, and a few fairly major bug fixes.
1536 We didn't quite hit our release target of "about a week" from the 0.1
1537 release, (0.2 is happening 11 days after 0.1), but we hope to do
1538 better for next week. Look forward to some major features coming to
1539 notmuch in subsequent releases.
1545 Better guessing of From: header.
1547 Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
1548 used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
1549 Received: headers if it fails to find any configured address in To:
1550 or Cc:. This allows it to often choose the correct address even when
1551 replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
1554 Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages
1556 Previously, it was hard to construct a search term that was
1557 guaranteed to match all messages.
1559 Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages.
1561 This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
1562 "notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
1563 shell doesn't expand * against the current files. And note that the
1564 support for "*" is a special case. It's only meaningful as a single
1565 search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
1568 Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message is
1571 Previously, if two or more message were received with a common
1572 parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
1573 not be recognized as belonging to the same thread. This is now fixed
1574 so that such messages are properly connected in a thread.
1578 Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT
1580 One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
1581 SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
1582 the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
1583 Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.
1585 Fix segfault when a message includes a MIME part that is empty.
1587 Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json
1589 Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were
1590 silently dropped from the JSON output. This led to corrupted display
1591 of utf-8 content in the upcoming notmuch web-based frontends.
1593 Fix headers to be properly decoded in "notmuch reply"
1595 Previously, the user might see:
1597 Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=
1601 Subject: Re: Rozlučka
1603 The former text is properly encoded to be RFC-compliant SMTP, will
1604 be sent correctly, and will be properly decoded by the
1605 recipient. But the user trying to edit the reply would likely be
1606 unable to read or edit that field in its encoded form.
1608 Emacs client features
1609 ---------------------
1610 Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines.
1612 It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
1613 being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
1614 important. The number of lines shown at the beginning and end of any
1615 citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and
1616 notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).
1618 The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
1621 Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of
1622 threads and then using either the '+' or '-' keybindings. Bulk
1623 tagging is still available for all threads matching the current
1624 search with the '*' binding.
1626 More meaningful buffer names for thread-view buffers.
1628 Notmuch now uses the Subject of the thread as the buffer
1629 name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
1632 Provide for customized colors of threads in search view based on tags.
1634 See the documentation of notmuch-search-line-faces, (or us "M-x
1635 customize" and browse to the "notmuch" group within "Applications"
1636 and "Mail"), for details on how to configure this colorization.
1638 Build-system features
1639 ---------------------
1640 Add support to properly build libnotmuch on Darwin systems (OS X).
1642 Add support to configure for many standard options.
1644 We include actual support for:
1646 --includedir --mandir --sysconfdir
1648 And accept and silently ignore several more:
1650 --build --infodir --libexecdir --localstatedir
1651 --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking
1653 Install emacs client in "make install" rather than requiring a
1654 separate "make install-emacs".
1656 Automatically compute versions numbers between releases.
1658 This support uses the git-describe notation, so a version such as
1659 0.1-144-g43cbbfc indicates a version that is 144 commits since the
1660 0.1 release and is available as git commit "43cbbfc".
1662 Add a new "make test" target to run the test suite and actually verify
1665 Notmuch 0.1 (2010-04-05)
1666 ========================
1667 This is the first release of the notmuch mail system.
1669 It includes the libnotmuch library, the notmuch command-line
1670 interface, and an emacs-based interface to notmuch.
1672 Note: Notmuch will work best with Xapian 1.0.18 (or later) or Xapian
1673 1.1.4 (or later). Previous versions of Xapian (whether 1.0 or 1.1) had
1674 a performance bug that made notmuch very slow when modifying
1675 tags. This would cause distracting pauses when reading mail while
1676 notmuch would wait for Xapian when removing the "inbox" and "unread"
1677 tags from messages in a thread.
