The current code for address completion takes the list of possible
completions (whether generated internally or externally), makes the
first match the initial value for the completion, and puts all the
others (but not the first match) into the possible completions.
This has the nice effect that the <down> key takes you immediately to
the next completion (whereas if the first match were included in the
possible completions it would take you to the first match
again).
However, it has two side effects. First, once you have completed to
the full match you find it says and try completing again you get told
"no match" not "sole completion". Secondly, if you delete some of the
text and try completing you don't get the first match as an option.
This tries to get round most of these problems by including the full
list of possible completions, but with the first match moved to the
very end of the list.
Currently, by default k invokes the tag-jump menu, and following it by
r invokes the reverse tag change jump menu. This is awkward to type
(e.g. k r u for undoing a -unread change). This changes it so that k
followed by k invokes the reverse menu. We make the key for the
reverse map a variable as that makes it possible for a user to
change it by editing their .emacs file.
It seems that no-one tried to compile without Xapian compact support
since March of 2015, since that's when I introduced a syntax error in
that branch of the ifdef.
Given the choice of maintaining this underused branch of code, or
bumping the Xapian dependency to a version from 2011, it seems
reasonable to do the latter.
Git has supported this since b68ea12e (diff.c: respect diff.renames
config option, 2006-07-07, v1.4.2). All of our information is in the
paths (the files are empty), so we don't want rename detection. By
using --no-renames, we get entries like:

This should not change the SONAME, and therefore won't change the
dynamic linking behaviour, but it may help some users debug missing
symbols in case their libnotmuch is too old.
Since commit
124a67e96e: configure: add set -u
all variables must be set before their expansion are attempted. These
2 variables: "platform" and "linker_resolves_library_dependencies" were
not given value in the final 'else' branch when platform check failed
due to unrecognized kernel name (output of `uname`). Now those two are
given reasonable non-empty values.
This tweaks the keybindings in tree-mode. It make b do bounce/resend
matching show-mode. Since b was already bound to scroll message pane
back, we now use backspace for that.
This means space/backspace scroll the message pane forwards/backwards,
and page-up/page-down scrolls the tree pane forwards/backwards.
New sub-APIs: config, built_with, message_property. A new exception used
internally. Mark the exception as optional, as it only shows up when
built against Xapian supporting FieldProcessors
Commit d25d33ff cleaned up some of the tag face code. However, for the
face notmuch-tag-deleted it used the test
((class color) (supports :strike-through))
to decide whether to use red strikethrough or inverse-video (emacs in
a terminal typically doesn't support red strikethrough, but in X it does).
However, it seems that test often returns true even though red
strikethrough is not supported. This breaks the tag update code -- the
wrong thing is displayed to the user.
Thus we make the test explicitly more specific, changing the test to
((class color) (supports :strike-through "red"))
In case of the test script is to be relaunced under valgrind, or --tee
is requested, use the $BASH shell variable to locate the command
interpreter. The $SHELL variable is re-set by non-interactive shells
so in case the shell uses some other shell (e.g. zsh) for interactive
use these bash scripts continue to work.
This is needed so that when the map is modified during traversal, and
thus unlinked by the database code, the map is not disposed of until the
iterator is done with it.
j is in the global notmuch keymap bound to notmuch jump. In tree-mode
it makes sense to close the message pane first (otherwise the new
search runs in the small top pane of tree-mode).
This is a strange corner case where the removing of the user's address
from the To: header does the wrong thing. If we think it is
worth (eventually) fixing, this test can serve as a reminder.
In fact some of these features are available in Xapian 1.3.x development
releases, but these are not really widely packaged. In any case, the
experts who are using development releases of Xapian can figure that
out.
Apparently pre 5.1 gcc defaulted to gnu89, but we decided it was ok to
use some c99 features.
'-std=c99' by itself is not enough for notmuch to compile.
'-std=gnu99' seems to work with clang and gcc, so I'm not convinced
configuration support is needed.
We want to be able to query the properties directly, like:
notmuch count property:foo=bar
which should return a count of messages where the property with key
"foo" has value equal to "bar".
