We're now preferring to build with python3 instead of python2. Update
the INSTALL to match.
Thanks to Antoine Amarilli <a3nm@a3nm.net> for pointing this out!
Make all parameter descriptions etc. use reStructuredText definition
lists with uniform style and indentation. Remove redundant indentation
from around the lists. Remove blank lines between term lines and
definition blocks. Use four spaces for indentation.
This is almost completely whitespace and paragraph reflow changes.
These are my own changes, plus those of Florian Klink and Lucas
Hoffmann. Gaute's change fixed a bug that was never in a released
version, so I left it out.
This brings the --decrypt argument to "notmuch reply" into line with
the other --decrypt arguments (in "show", "new", "insert", and
"reindex"). This patch is really just about bringing consistency to
the user interface.
We also use the recommended form in the emacs MUA when replying, and
update test T350 to match.
We also expand tab completion for it, update the emacs bindings, and
update T350, T357, and T450 to match.
Make use of the bool-to-keyword backward-compatibility feature.
We might change some notmuch command line tools that used to be
booleans into keyword arguments.
In that case, there are some legacy tools that will expect to be able
to do "notmuch foo --bar" instead of "notmuch foo --bar=baz".
This patch makes it possible to support that older API, while
providing a warning and an encouragement to upgrade.
Changes since 0.2:
* Accept failures to unset core.worktree in clone (0a155847,

The appended file 'version' has the same timestamp as the files added
by `git archive`.
The original file name and time stamp are no longer saved to the
gzip header in resulting $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz file.
When build environment is close enough to another, this may
provide mutually reproducible release archive files.
It is unlikely this still works since it has not been updated since
2010. The python packages for debian are now built by the top level
debian/ packaging.
This change allows queries of the form
thread:{from:me} and thread:{from:jian} and not thread:{from:dave}
This is still somewhat brute-force, but it's a big improvement over
both the shell script solution and the previous proposal [1], because it
does not build the whole thread structure just generate a
query. A further potential optimization is to replace the calls to
notmuch with more specialized Xapian code; in particular it's not
likely that reading all of the message metadata is a win here.

Describe the introduction of the "reindex" subcommand. This blurb
acknowledges Subject: instability under reindexing when multiple
copies exist (suggesting that this is something that needn't
necessarily hold up a release).
