Notmuch 0.5 (2010-11-11)
========================

New, general features
---------------------
-Maildir-flag synchronization
+
+* **_Maildir-flag synchronization_**
Notmuch now knows how to synchronize flags in maildir filenames with
tags in the notmuch database. The following flag/tag mappings are
supported:
- Flag <-> Tag
- ---- -----
- 'D' draft
- 'F' flagged
- 'P' passed
- 'R' replied
- 'S' unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
+ Flag <-> Tag
+ ---- -----
+ 'D' draft
+ 'F' flagged
+ 'P' passed
+ 'R' replied
+ 'S' unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
The synchronization occurs in both directions, (for example, adding
the 'S' flag to a file will cause the "unread" tag to be added, and
This synchronization is enabled by default for users of the
command-line interface, (though only files in directories named
"cur" or "new" will be renamed). It can be disabled by setting the
- new maildir.synchronize\_flags option in the configuration file. For
+ new `maildir.synchronize_flags` option in the configuration file. For
example:
- notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false
+ notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false
Users upgrading may also want to run "notmuch setup" once (just
accept the existing configuration) to get a new, nicely-commented
For users of the notmuch library, the new synchronization
functionality is available with the following two new functions:
- notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
- notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
+ notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
+ notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
It is anticipated that future improvements to this support will
allow for safe synchronization of the 'T' flag with the "deleted"
New library features
--------------------
-Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message
+
+* **_Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message_**
It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the
same message ID. Previously, notmuch would always hide these
duplicate files, (returning a single, arbitrary filename with
- notmuch\_message\_get\_filename).
+ `notmuch_message_get_filename`).
With this release, library users can access all filenames for a
message with the new function:
- notmuch_message_get_filenames
+ notmuch_message_get_filenames
- Together with notmuch\_filenames\_valid, notmuch\_filenames\_get, and
- notmuch\_filenames\_move\_to\_next it is now possible to iterate over
- all available filenames for a given message.
+ Together with `notmuch_filenames_valid`, `notmuch_filenames_get`,

New command-line features
-------------------------
-New "notmuch show --format=raw" for getting at original email contents
+
+* **_New "notmuch show --format=raw" for getting at original email contents_**
This new feature allows for a fully-functional email client to be
built on top of the notmuch command-line without needing any direct
do this, simply set the notmuch-command variable in emacs to the
name of a script containing:
- ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
+ ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster
option in OpenSSH), the emacs interface can be quite responsive this
General bug fixes
-----------------
-Fix "notmuch search" to print nothing when nothing matches
+
+* **_Fix "notmuch search" to print nothing when nothing matches_**
The 0.4 release had a bug in which:
- notmuch search <expression-with-no-matches>
+ notmuch search <expression-with-no-matches>
would produce a single blank line of output, (where previous
versions would produce no output. This fix also causes a change in
Emacs interface improvements
----------------------------
-Fix to allow pipe ('|') command to work when using notmuch over ssh
-Fix count of lines in hidden signatures.
+* **_Fix to allow pipe ('|') command to work when using notmuch over ssh_**

+* **_Fix count of lines in hidden signatures_**
-Omit repeated subject lines in (collapsed) thread display.
+* **_Omit repeated subject lines in (collapsed) thread display_**
-Display current thread subject in a header line.
+* **_Display current thread subject in a header line_**
-Provide a "c i" binding to copy a thread ID from the search view.
+* **_Provide a "c i" binding to copy a thread ID from the search view_**
-Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil.
+* **_Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil_**
Also, the more complex form of notmuch-fcc-dirs now has a slightly
different format. It no longer has a special first-element, fallback
