Notmuch 0.2 (2010-04-16)
========================
+
This is the second release of the notmuch mail system, with actual
detailed release notes this time!
General features
----------------
-Better guessing of From: header.
+
+* **_Better guessing of From: header_**
Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
configured address.
-Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages
+* **_Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages_**
Previously, it was hard to construct a search term that was
guaranteed to match all messages.
-Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages.
+* **_Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages_**
This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
"notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
other search terms.
-Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message is
-missing.
+* **_Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message
+ is missing_**
Previously, if two or more message were received with a common
parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
General bug fixes
-----------------
-Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT
+
+* **_Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT_**
One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.
-Fix segfault when a message includes a MIME part that is empty.
+* **_Fix segfault when a message includes a MIME part that is empty_**
-Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json
+* **_Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json_**
Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were
silently dropped from the JSON output. This led to corrupted display
of utf-8 content in the upcoming notmuch web-based frontends.
-Fix headers to be properly decoded in "notmuch reply"
+* **_Fix headers to be properly decoded in "notmuch reply"_**
Previously, the user might see:
- Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=
+ Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=
rather than:
- Subject: Re: Rozlučka
+ Subject: Re: Rozlučka
The former text is properly encoded to be RFC-compliant SMTP, will
be sent correctly, and will be properly decoded by the
Emacs client features
---------------------
-Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines.
+
+* **_Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines_**
It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and
notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).
-The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
-tags by region.
+* **_The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
+ tags by region_**
Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of
threads and then using either the '+' or '-' keybindings. Bulk
tagging is still available for all threads matching the current
search with the '*' binding.
-More meaningful buffer names for thread-view buffers.
+* **_More meaningful buffer names for thread-view buffers_**
Notmuch now uses the Subject of the thread as the buffer
name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
number to the user.
-Provide for customized colors of threads in search view based on tags.
+* **_Provide for customized colors of threads in search view based on tags_**

-Install emacs client in "make install" rather than requiring a
-separate "make install-emacs".
+* **_Install emacs client in "make install" rather than requiring a
+ separate "make install-emacs"_**
-Automatically compute versions numbers between releases.
+* **_Automatically compute versions numbers between releases_**
This support uses the git-describe notation, so a version such as
0.1-144-g43cbbfc indicates a version that is 144 commits since the
0.1 release and is available as git commit "43cbbfc".
-Add a new "make test" target to run the test suite and actually verify
-its results.
