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.
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).
the command-line interface for indexing (reindex, new, insert) used
--try-decrypt; and the configuration records used index.try_decrypt.
But by comparison with "show" and "reply", there doesn't seem to be
any reason for the "try" prefix.
This changeset adjusts the command-line interface and the
configuration interface.
For the moment, i've left indexopts_{set,get}_try_decrypt alone. The
subsequent changeset will address those.
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.
The two new faces (notmuch-search-flagged-face and
notmuch-search-unread-face) make it easier to find the relevant face by
customizing notmuch-faces. I plan to do the same to the other alists of
faces found elsewhere.
Currently, http://packages.python.org/notmuch/ goes through a series
of redirections and ends up pointing to readthedocs. Since we're
using readthedocs directly anyway, just point to it directly.
readthedocs are also now sensibly using a separate domain
(readthedocs.io) for their hosted documentation as distinct from their
own domain (readthedocs.org), so use the correct tld.
The Ruby bindings were missing a way to get all the tags of the
database. Now you should be able to access this with the public
instance method `all_tags` of your database object.
Example of use:
notmuchdb = Notmuch::Database.new path, { :create => false,
:mode => Notmuch::MODE_READ_ONLY }
my_tags = notmuchdb.all_tags
my_tags.each { |tag|
print tag
}
my_tags.destroy!
Amended by db: improve error reporting, add test
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.
