A non-technical introduction for users who read NEWS to have better
chance to find ./devel/notmuch-emacs-mua when they test or experiment
with notmuch emacs MUA next time.
These are the same tool; the nmbug-status text just landed before the
name change. We can also drop the message-url details from NEWS,
since they're already in the man page.
For example:
"query": ["tag:a", "tag:b or tag:c"]
is now converted to:
( tag:a ) and ( tag:b or tag:c )
instead of the old:
tag:a and tag:b or tag:c
This helps us avoid confusion due to Xapian's higher-precedence AND
[1], where the old query would be interpreted as:
( tag:a and tag:b ) or tag:c
[1]: http://xapian.org/docs/queryparser.html
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
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.
It's becoming a maintenance burden to do anything things with the
crypto glue code twice, once for 2.4 and once for 2.6. I don't have
any 2.4 version available to test on my development machine anymore,
so the 2.4 specific code paths are likely not very well tested.
News for notmuch-emacs-version usage in User-Agent header and
rename of function notmuch-version to notmuch-cli-version.
While at it, made some minor (consistency) punctuation changes
to make news to wiki conversion work as expected.
There are many places in the notmuch code where the path is assumed to be absolute. If someone (TM) wants a project, one could remove these assumptions. In the mean time, prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot.
Update test suite mark tests for this error as no longer broken, and
also convert some tests that used relative paths for nonexistent
directories.
When loading configs from Git, the bare branch name (without a
refs/heads/ prefix or similar) matches all branches of that name
(including remote-tracking branches):
.nmbug $ git show-ref config
48f3bbf1d1492e5f3d2f01de6ea79a30d3840f20 refs/heads/config
48f3bbf1d1492e5f3d2f01de6ea79a30d3840f20 refs/remotes/origin/config
4b6dbd9ffd152e7476f5101eff26747f34497cee refs/remotes/wking/config
Instead of relying on the ordering of the matching references, use
--heads to ensure we only match local branches.
Adds new entry to the NEWS file, and updates the search terms section
of the man page. The search terms section needs to be updated again
once the new section in the documentation covering probablistic terms
has been committed.
notmuch-deliver has no commits for about 2.5 years. notmuch-insert has
all the features that deliver does, and as far as I understand the
error handling has now caught up.
News for
- cli: add support for notmuch search --duplicate=N with --output=messages
- cli/insert: add post-insert hook
- cli/insert: require succesful message indexing for success statu
It blows things up by a factor of six or so, so it's worth giving
people a heads up. It won't effect e.g. Debian, that already builds
with -g and then strips.
For more details, see the commit message for 7f2cb3be (nmbug:
Translate to Python, 2014-10-03). I realized while writing this that
the 7f2cb3be commit message has:
* 'nmbug log' now execs 'git log', as there's no need to keep the
Python process around once we've launched Git there.
But we dropped that exec in favor of the subprocess approach between
v3 and v4, I just forgot to update the commit message [1].

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.notmuch.general/19007
This improves the description of the fix, fixes some typos, and
changes "(re)-indexed" to "indexed" because we have no particular
notion of "re-indexing" a message.
Also bump the python bindings version, the NEWS version and the Debian
version.
Since the changelog is (slightly dubiously) metadata, we have to
change it to upload a release candidate.
Wildcard matching was a feature of the probabilistic prefix, and we no
longer have it for the boolean prefix. Also note that top-level folder
can now be searched.
The changes landed with c200167 (nmbug: Add 'clone' and replace
FETCH_HEAD with @{upstream}, 2014-03-09).
The preferred markup language for NEWS seems to be Markdown, which is
parsed by devel/news2wiki.pl into Markdown chunks for rendering by
ikiwiki [1].

If the user has unsorted or alphabetically sorted saved-searches these
should continue to work. If they have some custom lisp sort function
then it will need updating to work with the new saved-sort
format. Document this, and how the updating should be done.
Also roll in fixes for the markdown in the first part of the NEWS
suggested by Tomi: change `just work' to *just work* and removed
periods from the end of subtitle lines.
The important point is that the changed search variable is not forward
compatible (it *is* backwards compatible): that is previous version
of notmuch-emacs will be unusable with a new style
notmuch-saved-search variable.
Roll (one last?) release candidate because of Austin's
LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION changes.
Atomically bump the manually (NEWS, debian/changelog) and
automatically (everywhere else) updated places version is mentioned.

emacs: insert quotable parts in reply as they are displayed in show view
The 0.16 NEWS grew chronologically during development, and as a result
wound up in a particularly odd order. This rearranges it to put the
most user-visible news first. Roughly: new features, modified
behavior, bug fixes, then deprecation, with related items grouped.
This does not modify the text of any of the news.
While looked good on paper, its attempted use caused confusion, complexity,
and potential for information leak when passed through wrapper scripts.
For slimmer code and to lessen demand for maintenance/support the set of
commits which added top level --stderr= option is now reverted.
As discussed in id:871udhcmks.fsf@zancas.localnet, notmuch-vim doesn't
really meet the standards of the CLI, emacs interface, or python
bindings in terms of being well maintained.
The commands are long deprecated, so removal is probably overdue. The
real motivation is to simplify argument handling for notmuch so that
we can migrate to the common argument parsing framework.
Date range search may be implemented as a library change, but it's an
important user-facing change that affects all notmuch usage. Tag name
restrictions aren't as important, but they affect both the CLI
interface and the Emacs interface.
Added the following Emacs Interface NEWS entries:
Catch errors bodypart insertions may throw,
Improved text/calendar content handling and
Disabled coding conversions when reading in
`with-current-notmuch-show-message`.
Thanks to Austin and David for content improvements.
notmuch show --format json now includes Bcc and Reply-To headers of
the message. Mention that in NEWS.
(Heavily modified version of text originally from Michal Nazarewicz.)
0.13.2: `contrib/notmuch-deliver` is in backticks elsewhere in
NEWS file. Commands are generally written in backticks in latest
NEWS entries.
0.13.1: Dropped period at the end of Title
'Fix compilation of ruby bindings',
as all other titles do not end with a period.
The recent change to use json for notmuch-search.el introduced a bug
in the code for keeping position on refresh. The problem is a
comparison between (plist-get result :thread) and a thread-id returned
by notmuch-search-find-thread-id: the latter is prefixed with
"thread:"
We fix this by adding an option to notmuch-search-find-thread-id to
return the bare thread-id. It appears that notmuch-search-refresh-view
is the only caller of notmuch-search that supplies a thread-id so this
change should be safe (but could theoretically break users .emacs
functions).
We've changed the APIs of notmuch_database_open,
notmuch_database_create, and notmuch_database_close.
Amended by db: also bump string in bindings/python/notmuch/globals.py
To make updating the notmuchmail.org wiki 'news' section more
straightforward the content of the NEWS file has now been brought
to almost the same as the *.mdwn files in the wiki page.
The changes are basically insertion of mdwn formatting "commands".
More effort has been put into formatting the newer release entries
(0.12, 0.11 & 0.10) than older. Commit to format 0.13 entries will
be made available separately.
Changed all tabs to 8 spaces (M-x untabify over region of the
whole file).
Now this looks uniformly on all viewers (using fixed-width font)
and the observed difference between this "source" file and markdown
generated html output on browser window is smaller. In markdown to
html conversions tab and 8 spaces indents differently.
Also the "Local variables:" block added to the end of this file
attempts to ensure tabs are always expanded; whether the used editor
is Emacs or Vi.
Some 0.12 NEWS items descriptions were indented with 3 spaces whereas
all other lines are indented with 2 spaces. Brought those
escaped lines back in line with others.
This reverts
dfee0f9 man: remove search.exclude_tags from notmuch-config.1 for 0.12
e83409d NEWS: revert NEWS item for exclude tags for 0.12
e77b031 config: disable addition of exclude tags for 0.12

Here is a News patch for this feature.

Subject: [PATCH] News item for allowing attachment buttons to view as well as save.
Emacs message-mode uses certain text strings to indicate how to attach
files to outgoing mail. If these are present in the text of an email,
and a user is tricked into replying to the message, the user’s files
could be exposed.
Edited-by: Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>: Rebased to release branch.
In NEWS file, indentation for item descriptions is generally 2 spaces
but in a few cases there were 3 or 4 (4 caused different markdown
handling) space indentations. Indentation in those lines are brought
to consistent 2-space indentation.
Run notmuch new pre and post hooks, named "pre-new" and "post-new", if
present in the notmuch hooks directory. The hooks will be run before and
after incorporating new messages to the database.
Typical use cases for pre-new and post-new hooks are fetching or delivering
new mail to the maildir, and custom tagging of the mail incorporated to the
database.
Also add command line option --no-hooks to notmuch new to bypass the hooks.

This optimizes the user's tagging query to exclude messages that won't
be affected by the tagging operation, saving computation and IO for
redundant tagging operations.
For example,
notmuch tag +notmuch to:notmuch@notmuchmail.org
will now use the query
( to:notmuch@notmuchmail.org ) and (not tag:"notmuch")
In the past, we've often suggested that people do this exact
transformation by hand for slow tagging operations. This makes that
unnecessary.
Add options --offset=[-]N and --limit=M to notmuch search to determine the
first result and maximum number of results to display.
Option --limit=M limits the maximum number of results to display to M.
Option --offset=[-]N skips the first N results; with the leading '-' skip
until the Nth result from the end.
Note that --offset with a negative N for thread or summary output requires
counting the number of matching threads in advance.
