The gmime 2.4 series is no longer +supported. + +### Database revision tracking: `lastmod:` queries + +Each message now has a metadata revision number that increases with +every tagging operation. See the discussion of `lastmod:` in +`notmuch-search-terms(7)` for more information. + +### Date queries now support `date:..!` shorthand for `date:..` + +You can use, for example, `date:yesterday..!` to match from the +beginning of yesterday to the end of yesterday. For further details, +please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page. + +### Notmuch database upgrade to support `lastmod:` queries + +The above mentioned `lastmod:` prefix. This will be done +automatically, without prompting on the next time `notmuch new` is +run after the upgrade. The upgrade is not reversible, and the +upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of +Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the +`.notmuch` directory before upgrading. + +Build System +------------ + +The ruby bindings are now built as part of the main notmuch build +process. This can be disabled with the `--without-ruby` option to +configure. + +Building the documentation can be disabled with the `--without-docs` +option to configure. + +Skipped individual tests are no longer considered as failures. + +Command Line Interface +---------------------- + +### Database revision tracking + +Two new options were added to support revision tracking. A global +option "--uuid" (`notmuch(1)`) was added for to detect counter +rollover and reinitialization, and `notmuch-count(1)` gained a +`--lastmod` option to query database revision tracking data. + +### The `notmuch address` command supports new deduplication schemes + +`notmuch address` has gained a new `--deduplicate` option to specify +how the results should be deduplicated, if at all. The alternatives +are `no` (do not deduplicate, useful for processing the results with +external tools), `mailbox` (deduplicate based on the full, case +sensitive name and email address), and `address` (deduplicate based +on the case insensitive address part). See the `notmuch-address` +manual page for further information. + +Emacs Interface +--------------- + +### `notmuch-emacs-version` is used in `User-Agent` header + +The value of recently introduced variable `notmuch-emacs-version` is +now used as a part of `User-Agent` header when sending emails. + +### Removed `notmuch-version` function by renaming it to `notmuch-cli-version` + +With existing variable `notmuch-emacs-version` the accompanied +function which retrieves the version of `notmuch-command` is +better named as `notmuch-cli-version`. + +### Query input now supports completion for "is:" + +### New message composition mode: `notmuch-compose-mode` + +This is mainly to fix fcc handling, but may be useful for user +customization as well. + +### Allow filtering of search results in `notmuch-show` + +### Add function to rerun current tree-view search in search mode + +### Bug fix for replying to encrypted messages in `notmuch-tree` mode + +### Allow saved searched to specify tree view rather than search view + +Applies to saved searches run from `notmuch-hello`, or by a keyboard +shortcut (`notmuch-jump`). Can be set in the customize interface, or +by adding :search-type tree to the appropriate saved search plist in +`notmuch-saved-searches`. + +### Increase maximum size of rendered text parts + +The variable `notmuch-show-max-text-part-size` controls the maximum +size (in bytes) which is automatically rendered. This may make +rendering large threads slower. To get the previous behaviour set +this variable to 10000. + +Library +------- + +### The use of absolute paths is now enforced when calling `notmuch_database_{open, create}` + +### New function `notmuch_directory_delete` to delete directory documents + +Previously there was no way to delete directory documents from the +database, leading to confusing results when the "ghost" directory +document of a renamed or deleted filesystem directory was +encountered every time the parent directory was being scanned by +`notmuch new`. The mtime of the old directory document was also used +if a directory by the same name was added again in the filesystem, +potentially bypassing the scan for the directory. The issues are +fixed by providing a library call to delete directory documents, and +deleting the old documents in `notmuch new` on filesystem directory +removal or rename. + +### Database revision tracking + +Revision tracking is supported via a new prefix "lastmod:" in the +query parser and the new function +`notmuch_database_get_revision`. For the latter, see `notmuch(3)`. + +### New status code returning API for n_query_count_{messages,threads} + +### Deprecated functions + +`notmuch_query_search_threads`, `notmuch_query_search_messages`, +`notmuch_query_count_messages`, and `notmuch_query_count_threads` +are all deprecated as of this release. Clients are encouraged to +transition to the `_st` variants supporting better error reporting. + +nmbug-status +------------ + +`nmbug-status` now supports specifying the sort order for each view.
