This means that dtach is now +needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for +prerequisites is improved. + +Full test coverage of the stashing feature in Emacs. + +New command-line features +------------------------- + +Add "notmuch restore --accumulate" option + + The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be + applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from + the dump file. + +Add search terms to "notmuch dump" + + The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch + search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in + favour of using stdout. + +Add "notmuch search" --offset and --limit options + + The search command now takes options --offset=[-]N and --limit=N to limit + the number of results shown. + +Add "notmuch count --output" option + + The count command is now capable of counting threads in addition to + messages. This is selected using the new --output=(threads|messages) option. + +New emacs UI features +--------------------- + +Add tab-completion for notmuch-search and notmuch-search-filter + + These functions now support completion tags for query parts + starting with "tag:". + +Turn "id:MSG-ID" links into buttons associated with notmuch searches + + Text of the form "id:MSG-ID" in mails is now a clickable button that + opens a notmuch search for the given message id. + +Add keybinding ('c I') for stashing Message-ID's without an id: prefix + + Reduces manual labour when stashing them for use outside notmuch. + +Do not query on notmuch-search exit + + It is harmless to kill the external notmuch process, so the user + is no longer interrogated when they interrupt a search. + +Performance +----------- + +Emacs now constructs large search buffers more efficiently + +Search avoids opening and parsing message files + + We now store more information in the database so search no longer + has to open every message file to get basic headers. This can + improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this + requires a database rebuild: + + notmuch dump > notmuch.dump + # Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch) + notmuch new + notmuch restore notmuch.dump + +New collection of add-on tools +------------------------------ + +The source directory "contrib" contains tools built on notmuch. These +tools are not part of notmuch, and you should check their individual +licenses. Feel free to report problems with them to the notmuch +mailing list. + +nmbug - share tags with a given prefix + + nmbug helps maintain a git repo containing all tags with a given + prefix (by default "notmuch::"). Tags can be shared by commiting + them to git in one location and restoring in another.
