Command-Line Interface
----------------------
-`notmuch dump` now defaults to `batch-tag` format.
+`notmuch dump` now defaults to `batch-tag` format
The old format is still available with `--format=sup`.
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-search :name) and (cdr saved-search) by
(notmuch-saved-search-get saved-search :query) should be sufficient.
+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.
+
Bug fix for saved searches with newlines in them
Split lines confuse `notmuch count --batch`, so we remove embedded
newlines before calling notmuch count.
+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.
