Notmuch +supports a wide variety of expressions in `` and +``. Please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms(7)` manual page +for details. + +### Empty tag names and tags beginning with "-" are deprecated + +Such tags have been a frequent source of confusion and cause +(sometimes unresolvable) conflicts with other syntax. notmuch tag +no longer allows such tags to be added to messages. Removing such +tags continues to be supported to allow cleanup of existing tags, +but may be removed in a future release. + +Command-Line Interface +---------------------- + +### `notmuch new` no longer chokes on mboxes + +`notmuch new` now rejects mbox files containing more than one +message, rather than treating the file as one giant message. + +### Support for single message mboxes is deprecated + +For historical reasons, `notmuch new` will index mbox files +containing a single message; however, this behavior is now +officially deprecated. + +### Fixed `notmuch new` to skip ignored broken symlinks + +`notmuch new` now correctly skips symlinks if they are in the +ignored files list. Previously, it would abort when encountering +broken symlink, even if it was ignored. + +### New dump/restore format and tagging interface + +There is a new `batch-tag` format for dump and restore that is more +robust, particularly with respect to tags and message-ids containing +whitespace. + +`notmuch tag` now supports the ability to read tag operations and +queries from an input stream, in a format compatible with the new +dump/restore format. + +### Bcc and Reply-To headers are now available in notmuch show json output + +The `notmuch show --format=json` now includes "Bcc" and "Reply-To" headers. +For example notmuch Emacs client can now have these headers visible +when the headers are added to the `notmuch-message-headers` variable. + +### CLI callers can now request a specific output format version + +`notmuch` subcommands that support structured output now support a +`--format-version` argument for requesting a specific version of the +structured output, enabling better compatibility and error handling. + +### `notmuch search` has gained a null character separated text output format + +The new --format=text0 output format for `notmuch search` prints +output separated by null characters rather than newline +characters. This is similar to the find(1) -print0 option, and works +together with the xargs(1) -0 option. + +Emacs Interface +--------------- + +### Removal of the deprecated `notmuch-folders` variable + +`notmuch-folders` has been deprecated since the introduction of saved +searches and the notmuch hello view in notmuch 0.3. `notmuch-folders` +has now been removed. Any remaining users should migrate to +`notmuch-saved-searches`. + +### Visibility of MIME parts can be toggled + +Each part of a multi-part MIME email can now be shown or hidden +using the button at the top of each part (by pressing RET on it or +by clicking). For emails with multiple alternative formats (e.g., +plain text and HTML), only the preferred format is shown initially, +but other formats can be shown using their part buttons. To control +the behavior of this, see +`notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` and +`notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts`. + +Note notmuch-show-print-message (bound to '#' by default) will print +all parts of multipart/alternative message regardless of whether +they are currently hidden or shown in the buffer. + +### Emacs now buttonizes mid: links + +mid: links are a standardized way to link to messages by message ID +(see RFC 2392). Emacs now hyperlinks mid: links to the appropriate +notmuch search. + +### Handle errors from bodypart insertions + +If displaying the text of a message in show mode causes an error (in +the `notmuch-show-insert-part-*` functions), notmuch no longer cuts +off thread display at the offending message. The error is now +simply displayed in place of the message. + +### Emacs now detects version mismatches with the notmuch CLI + +Emacs now detects and reports when the Emacs interface version and +the notmuch CLI version are incompatible. + +### Improved text/calendar content handling + +Carriage returns in embedded text/calendar content caused insertion +of the calendar content fail. Now CRs are removed before calling icalendar +to extract icalendar data. In case icalendar extraction fails an error +is thrown for the bodypart insertion function to deal with. + +### Disabled coding conversions when reading in `with-current-notmuch-show-message` + +Depending on the user's locale, saving attachments containing 8-bit +data may have performed an unintentional encoding conversion, +corrupting the saved attachment. This has been fixed by making +`with-current-notmuch-show-message` disable coding conversion. + +### Fixed errors with HTML email containing images in Emacs 24 + +Emacs 24 ships with a new HTML renderer that produces better output, +but is slightly buggy. We work around a bug that caused it to fail +for HTML email containing images. + +### Fixed handling of tags with unusual characters in them + +Emacs now handles tags containing spaces, quotes, and parenthesis. + +### Fixed buttonization of id: links without quote characters + +Emacs now correctly buttonizes id: links where the message ID is not +quoted. + +### `notmuch-hello` refresh point placement improvements + +Refreshing the `notmuch-hello` buffer does a better job of keeping +the point where it was. + +### Automatic tag changes are now unified and customizable + +All the automatic tag changes that the Emacs interface makes when +reading, archiving, or replying to messages, can now be +customized. Any number of tag additions and removals is supported +through the `notmuch-show-mark-read`, `notmuch-archive-tags`, and +`notmuch-message-replied-tags` customization variables. + +### Support for stashing the thread id in show view + +Invoking `notmuch-show-stash-message-id` with a prefix argument +stashes the (local and database specific) thread id of the current +thread instead of the message id. + +New add-on tool: notmuch-pick +----------------------------- + +The new contrib/ tool `notmuch-pick` is an experimental threaded message +view for the emacs interface. Each message is one line in the results +and the thread structure is shown using UTF-8 box drawing characters +(similar to Mutt's threaded view). It comes between search and show in +terms of amount of output and can be useful for viewing both single +threads and multiple threads. See the notmuch-pick README file for +further details and installation. + +Portability +----------- + +notmuch now builds on OpenBSD. + +Internal test framework changes +------------------------------- + +### The emacsclient binary is now user-configurable + +The test framework now accepts TEST_EMACSCLIENT in addition to +TEST_EMACS for configuring the emacsclient to use. This is +necessary to avoid using an old emacsclient with a new emacs, which +can result in buggy behavior.
