When company-mode is available (Emacs >= 24), address completion
candidates are shown in a nice popup box. This is triggered either by
pressing TAB or by waiting a while during typing an address. The
completion is based entirely on the asynchronous address harvesting
from notmuch-address.el so the GUI is theoretically not blocked for
long time.
The completion works similarly as the TAB-initiated completion from
notmuch-address.el, i.e. quick harvest based on user input is executed
first and only after full harvesting is finished, in-memory cached data
is used.
[Improved by David Bremner]
Currently, notmuch has an address completion mechanism that requires
external command to provide completion candidates. This commit adds a
completion mechanism inspired by https://github.com/tjim/nevermore,
which is implemented in Emacs lisp only.
The preexisting address completion mechanism, activated by pressing
TAB on To/Cc lines, is extended to use the new mechanism when
notmuch-address-command to 'internal, which is the new default.
The core of the new mechanism is the function notmuch-address-harvest,
which collects the completion candidates from the notmuch database and
stores them in notmuch-address-completions variable. The address
harvesting can run either synchronously (same as with the previous
mechanism) or asynchronously. When the user presses TAB for the first
time, synchronous harvesting limited to user entered text is performed.
If the entered text is reasonably long, this operation is relatively
fast. Then, asynchronous harvesting over the full database is triggered.
This operation may take long time (minutes on rotating disk). After it
finishes, no harvesting is normally performed again and subsequent
completion requests use the harvested data cached in memory. Completion
cache is updated after 24 hours.
Note that this commit restores (different) completion functionality for
users when the user used external command named "notmuch-addresses",
i.e. the old default. The result will be that the user will use
the new mechanism instead of this command. I believe that many users may
not even recognize this because the new mechanism works the same as
http://commonmeasure.org/~jkr/git/notmuch_addresses.git and perhaps also
as other commands suggested at
http://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/#address_completion.

This allows e.g. Gnus users to load this file without changing
message-mode behaviour.
This will disable completion for those that did not customize the
variable but relied on the existence of a file named "notmuch-addresses"
in their path. In the next commit the default behaviour will change to
use a "workalike" internal completion mechanism.
This adds NEWS items for
the new limit/filter function in notmuch-show,
the saved-search option for tree view,
the binding S to run the current tree-view search in notmuch-search,
the increase in max text part size
the bugfix for replying to encrypted messages from tree view
Add support for completing --help, --uuid=, and --version after the
subcommand. Do not support shared options at the top level yet due to
difficulties in handling options with arguments.
--uuid necessitates adding 'compopt -o nospace' also to notmuch new
completion, but that just brings it in line with the rest.
This patch allows the user to customize a saved search to choose tree
view rather than the default search view. It also updates notmuch-jump
so that it respects this choice.
<since> and <until> for the lastmod: prefix right below the date:
prefix description give the impression one could use last modified
dates to lastmod: which is not at all the case. Use
<initial-revision>..<final-revision> instead.
Trailing dots were removed from 3 NEWS items so that those appear in
same level as surrounding "heading" lines in generated wiki page.
One trailing dot was added to nmbug-status item so it appears as normal
text in generated wiki page. `nmbug-status` was put in backticks so it
looks the same as in older nmbug-status news text.
Currently notmuch-show-max-text-part-size is 10000 which means some
relatively normal messages have all parts hidden by default. Increase
this to 100000 by default.
The setting was introduced to alleviate problems with notmuch being
very slow on large threads. Users hitting these problems may wish to
customize this variable to something smaller (like 10000).
Formerly replying to an encrypted message in tree-view did not work:
the message was not decrypted. This commit makes notmuch-tree respect
the setting of notmuch-crypto-process-mime. In particular, if
notmuch-crypto-process-mime is set to t, then replying to encrypted
messages in tree mode will now decrypt the reply (as it already did in
show mode).
There was a problem with the directory documents being left behind when
the filesystem directory was removed. This was worked around in [1].
However, that ignored the fact that the directory documents are also
still listed by notmuch_directory_get_child_directories() leading to
confusing results when running notmuch new. The directory documents are
found and queued for removal over and over again.
Fix the problem for real by removing the directory documents. This fixes
the tests flagged as broken in [2].
The (non-deterministic) hack test from [3] also still passes with this
change.

Drop the test update added in [1] and mark the test as broken, like the
tests flagged as broken in [2]. These all reflect the same underlying
breakage with (lack of) directory deletion.

Although I think it's a pretty bad idea to continue using the old API,
this allows both a more gentle transition for clients of the library,
and allows us to break one monolithic change into a series
