3 Notmuch 0.10 (2011-11-23)
4 =========================
6 New build and testing features
7 ------------------------------
9 Emacs tests are now done in dtach. This means that dtach is now
10 needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for
11 prerequisites is improved.
13 Full test coverage of the stashing feature in Emacs.
15 New command-line features
16 -------------------------
18 #### Add "notmuch restore --accumulate" option
20 The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
21 applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from
24 #### Add search terms to "notmuch dump"
26 The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch
27 search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in
28 favour of using stdout.
30 #### Add "notmuch search" --offset and --limit options
32 The search command now takes options --offset=[-]N and --limit=N to limit
33 the number of results shown.
35 #### Add "notmuch count --output" option
37 The count command is now capable of counting threads in addition to
38 messages. This is selected using the new --output=(threads|messages) option.
43 #### Add tab-completion for notmuch-search and notmuch-search-filter
45 These functions now support completion tags for query parts
48 #### Turn "id:MSG-ID" links into buttons associated with notmuch searches
50 Text of the form "id:MSG-ID" in mails is now a clickable button that
51 opens a notmuch search for the given message id.
53 #### Add keybinding ('c I') for stashing Message-ID's without an id: prefix
55 Reduces manual labour when stashing them for use outside notmuch.
57 #### Do not query on notmuch-search exit
59 It is harmless to kill the external notmuch process, so the user
60 is no longer interrogated when they interrupt a search.
65 #### Emacs now constructs large search buffers more efficiently
67 #### Search avoids opening and parsing message files
69 We now store more information in the database so search no longer
70 has to open every message file to get basic headers. This can
71 improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this
72 requires a database rebuild:
74 notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
75 # Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
77 notmuch restore notmuch.dump
79 New collection of add-on tools
80 ------------------------------
82 The source directory "contrib" contains tools built on notmuch. These
83 tools are not part of notmuch, and you should check their individual
84 licenses. Feel free to report problems with them to the notmuch
87 #### nmbug - share tags with a given prefix
89 nmbug helps maintain a git repo containing all tags with a given
90 prefix (by default "notmuch::"). Tags can be shared by commiting
91 them to git in one location and restoring in another.
