Notmuch 0.26 (UNRELEASED)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Out-of-tree builds
|
|
|
|
The test suite now works properly with out-of-tree builds, i.e. with
|
|
separate source and build directories. The --root option to tests
|
|
has been dropped. The same can now be achieved more reliably using
|
|
out-of-tree builds.
|
|
|
|
Encrypted Mail
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Indexing cleartext of encrypted e-mails
|
|
|
|
It's now possible to include the cleartext of encrypted e-mails in
|
|
the notmuch index. This makes it possible to search your encrypted
|
|
e-mails with the same ease as searching cleartext. This can be done
|
|
on a per-message basis with the --decrypt argument to indexing
|
|
commands (new, insert, reindex), or by default by running "notmuch
|
|
config set index.decrypt true".
|
|
|
|
Note that the contents of the index are sufficient to roughly
|
|
reconstruct the cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure
|
|
that the notmuch index itself is adequately protected. DO NOT USE
|
|
this feature without considering the security of your index.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.25.3 (2017-12-08)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Extend mitigation (disabling handling x-display in text/enriched) for
|
|
Emacs bug #28350 to Emacs versions before 24.4 (i.e. without
|
|
`advice-add`).
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Correctly report userid validity. Fix test suite failure for GMime >=
|
|
3.0.3. This change raises the minimum supported version of GMime 3.x
|
|
to 3.0.3.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.25.2 (2017-11-05)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix segfault in notmuch-show crypto handling when compiled against
|
|
GMime 2.6; this was a regression in 0.25.
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Support for GMime before 3.0 is now deprecated, and will be removed in
|
|
a future release.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.25.1 (2017-09-11)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Disable handling x-display in text/enriched messages. Mitigation for
|
|
Emacs bug #28350.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.25 (2017-07-25)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Add regexp searching for mid, paths, and tags.
|
|
|
|
Skip HTML tags when indexing
|
|
|
|
In particular this avoids indexing large inline images.
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Bash completion is now installed to /usr/share by default.
|
|
|
|
Allow space as separator for keyword arguments.
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Support for stashing message timestamp in show and tree views
|
|
|
|
Invoking `notmuch-show-stash-date` with a prefix argument
|
|
stashes the unix timestamp of the current message instead of
|
|
the date string.
|
|
|
|
Don't use 'function' as variable name, workaround emacs bug 26406.
|
|
|
|
Library Changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Add workaround for date parsing of bad input in older GMime
|
|
|
|
In certain circumstances, older GMime libraries could return
|
|
negative numbers when parsing syntactically invalid dates.
|
|
|
|
Replace deprecated functions with status returning versions
|
|
|
|
API of notmuch_query_{search,count}_{messages,threads} has
|
|
changed. notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude now returns a status
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
Add support for building against GMime 3.0.
|
|
|
|
Rename libutil.a to libnotmuch_util.a.
|
|
|
|
libnotmuch SONAME is incremented to libnotmuch.so.5.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.24.2 (2017-06-01)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix output from `notmuch dump --include=properties` to not include tags.
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Fix filename stashing in tree view.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.24.1 (2017-04-01)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Fix regressions in non-regexp search for `from:` and `subject:`
|
|
|
|
The regexp search code in 0.24 introduced a regression in the
|
|
handling of empty queries and wildcards. These are both corrected in
|
|
this release.
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix several memory leaks in `notmuch show`
|
|
|
|
Update NEWS for 0.24 to mention schema changes
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in dump header
|
|
|
|
The previous version of the dump header failed to mention the
|
|
inclusion of tags. This fix bumps the version number of the dump
|
|
format to 3. There are no other changes to the format.
|
|
|
|
Library Changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix a read-after-free in the library.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.24 (2017-03-12)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Regular expression searches supported for `from:` and `subject:`
|
|
|
|
This requires recent Xapian (1.4+) See notmuch-search-terms(7) for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Run external `notmuch-` prefixed commands as subcommands
|
|
|
|
You can now add your own `notmuch-` prefixed commands in PATH, and
|
|
have notmuch run them as if they were notmuch commands. See the
|
|
`notmuch(1)` man page for details
|
|
|
|
New default output format to 3
|
|
|
|
See devel/schemata for details. Users of the structured output
|
|
format are reminded of the `--format-version` argument to `notmuch
|
|
show` and `notmuch search` which can prevent breakage when the
|
|
default format changes.
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Postpone and resume messages in `notmuch-message-mode` (composition)
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now has built in support for postponing, saving and resuming
|
|
messages. The default bindings are C-x C-s to save a draft, C-c C-p
|
|
to postpone a draft (save and exit compose buffer), and "e" in show
|
|
or tree view to resume.
|
|
|
|
Draft messages are tagged with `notmuch-draft-tags` (draft by
|
|
default) so you may wish to add that to the excluded tags list. When
|
|
saving a previously saved draft message the earlier draft gets
|
|
tagged deleted.
|
|
|
|
Note that attachments added before postponing will be included as
|
|
they were when you postponed in the final message.
|
|
|
|
Address Completion
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to save the list of address completions for
|
|
notmuch's internal completion between runs of emacs. This makes the
|
|
first calls to address completion much better and faster. For
|
|
privacy reasons it is disabled by default, to enable set or
|
|
customize `notmuch-address-save-filename`.
|
|
|
|
Tag jump menu
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to configure tagging shortcuts (with an interface
|
|
like notmuch jump). For example (by default) k u will remove the
|
|
unread tag, and k s will add a tag "spam" and remove the inbox
|
|
tag. Pressing k twice will do the reverse operation so, for example,
|
|
k k s removes the spam tag and adds the inbox tag. See the customize
|
|
variable `notmuch-tagging-keys` for more information.
|
|
|
|
Refresh all buffers
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to refresh all notmuch buffers to reflect the
|
|
current state of the database with a single command, `M-=`.
|
|
|
|
Stop display of `application/*` parts
|
|
|
|
By default gnus displays all `application/*` parts such as
|
|
application/zip in the message buffer. This has several undesirable
|
|
effects for notmuch (security, triggering errors etc). Notmuch now
|
|
overrides this and does not display them by default. If you have
|
|
customized `mm-inline-override-types` then we assume you know what
|
|
you want and do not interfere; if you do want to stop the display of
|
|
`application/*` add `application/*` to your customization. If you want
|
|
to allow `application/*` then set `mm-inline-override-types` to
|
|
"non/existent".
|
|
|
|
Small change in the api for notmuch-search-tag
|
|
|
|
When `notmuch-search-tag` is called non-interactively and the region
|
|
is set, then it only tags the threads in the region. (Previously it
|
|
only tagged the current thread.)
|
|
|
|
Bugfix for sending messages with very long headers
|
|
|
|
Previously emacs didn't fold very long headers when sending which
|
|
could cause the MTA to refuse to send the message. This makes sure
|
|
it does fold any long headers so the message is RFC compliant.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch emacs-mua` command installed with the Emacs interface
|
|
|
|
We've carried a `notmuch-emacs-mua` script in the source tree for
|
|
quite some time. It can be used to launch the Notmuch Emacs
|
|
interface from the command line in many different ways. Starting
|
|
with this release, it will be installed with the Emacs
|
|
interface. With the new external subcommand support, the script
|
|
transparently becomes a new notmuch command. See the
|
|
`notmuch-emacs-mua(1)` man page for details.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch Emacs desktop integration
|
|
|
|
The desktop integration file will now be installed with the Notmuch
|
|
Emacs interface, adding a Notmuch menu item and configuration to
|
|
allow the user to set up Notmuch Emacs as the `mailto:` URL handler.
|
|
|
|
Library changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_query_count_messages` is now non-destructive
|
|
|
|
Internally the implementation of excludes has changed to make this
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
Improved handling of DatabaseModifiedError
|
|
|
|
Previously uncaught exceptions reading message metadata are now
|
|
handled.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23.7 (2017-02-28)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Drop use of gpgconf --create-socketdir. Move $GNUPGHOME to /tmp.
|
|
|
|
It turns out the hardcoded use of /run/user in gpg doesn't work out
|
|
that well in some environments. The more low tech fix is to move all
|
|
of $GNUPGHOME to somewhere where we can control the length of the
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23.6 (2017-02-27)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix read-after-free bug in `notmuch new`.
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Use gpgconf --create-socketdir if available.
|
|
|
|
GnuPG has a facility to use sockets in /run or /var/run to avoid
|
|
problems with long socket paths, but this is not enabled by default
|
|
for GNUPGHOME other than $HOME/.gnupg. Enable it, if possible.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23.5 (2017-01-09)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Build system
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Fix quoting bug in configure. This had introduced a RUNPATH into the
|
|
notmuch binary in cases where it was not not needed.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23.4 (2016-12-24)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Improve error handling in notmuch insert
|
|
|
|
Database lock errors no longer prevent message file delivery to the
|
|
filesystem. Certain errors during `notmuch insert` most likely to
|
|
be temporary return EX_TEMPFAIL.
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Restore autoload cookie for notmuch-search.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23.3 (2016-11-27)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Treat disappearing files during notmuch new as non-fatal.
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Fix incompatibility (related to signature size) with gnupg 2.1.16.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23.2 (2016-11-20)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Fix notmuch-interesting-buffer and notmuch-cycle-notmuch-buffers.
|
|
|
|
notmuch-tree-mode and notmuch-message-mode buffers are now
|
|
considered interesting by `notmuch-interesting-buffer` and
|
|
`notmuch-cycle-notmuch-buffers`.
|
|
|
|
Restore compatibility with Emacs 23.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch support for Emacs 23 is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23.1 (2016-10-23)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Require Xapian >= 1.2.6
|
|
|
|
The ifdef branch for older Xapian (pre-compact API) had bit-rotted.
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Fix default colours for unread and flagged messages
|
|
|
|
In 0.23 the default colours for unread and flagged messages in
|
|
search view were accidentally swapped. This release returns them to
|
|
the original colours.
|
|
|
|
A related change in 0.23 broke the customize widget for
|
|
notmuch-search-line-faces. This is now fixed.
|
|
|
|
Fix test failure with Emacs 25.1
|
|
|
|
A previously undiscovered jit-lock related bug was exposed by Emacs
|
|
25, causing a notmuch-show mode test to fail. This release fixes the
|
|
bug, and hence the test.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.23 (2016-10-03)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
General (Xapian 1.4+)
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Compiling against Xapian 1.4 enables several new features.
|
|
|
|
Support for single argument date: queries
|
|
|
|
`date:<expr>` is equivalent to `date:<expr>..<expr>`.
|
|
|
|
Support for blocking opens
|
|
|
|
When opening a database notmuch by default will wait for another
|
|
process to release a write lock, rather than returning an error.
|
|
|
|
Support for named queries
|
|
|
|
Named queries (also known as 'saved searches') can be defined with a
|
|
`query:name` format. The expansion of these queries is stored in the
|
|
database and they can be used from any notmuch client.
|
|
|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Message property API
|
|
|
|
libnotmuch now supports the attachment of arbitrary key-value pairs
|
|
to messages. These can be used by various tools to manage their
|
|
private data without polluting the user tag space. They also support
|
|
iteration of values with the same key or same key prefix.
|
|
|
|
Bug fix for `notmuch_directory_set_mtime`
|
|
|
|
Update cached mtime to match on-disk mtime.
|
|
|
|
CLI
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Support for compile time options
|
|
|
|
A group of `built_with` keys is now supported for notmuch
|
|
config. Initial keys in this group are `compact`, `field_processor`,
|
|
and `retry_lock`.
|
|
|
|
Dump/Restore support for configuration information and properties
|
|
|
|
Any configuration information stored in the database (initially just
|
|
named queries) is dumped and restored. Similarly any properties
|
|
attached to messages are also dumped and restored. Any new
|
|
information in the dump format is prefixed by '#' to allow existing
|
|
scripts to ignore it.
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Make notmuch-message-mode use insert for fcc
|
|
|
|
Notmuch-message-mode now defaults to using notmuch insert for
|
|
fcc. The old file based fcc behaviour can be restored by setting the
|
|
defcustom `notmuch-maildir-use-notmuch-insert` to nil.
|
|
|
|
When using notmuch insert, `notmuch-fcc-dirs` must be a subdirectory
|
|
of the mailstore (absolute paths are not permitted) followed by any
|
|
tag changes to be applied to the inserted message. The tag changes
|
|
are applied after the default tagging for new messages. For example
|
|
setting the header to "sentmail -inbox +sent" would insert the
|
|
message in the subdirectory sentmail of the mailstore, add the tag
|
|
"sent", and not add the (normally added) "inbox" tag.
|
|
|
|
Finally, if the insert fails (e.g. if the database is locked) the
|
|
user is presented with the option to retry, ignore, or edit the
|
|
header.
|
|
|
|
Make internal address completion customizable
|
|
|
|
There is a new defcustom `notmuch-address-internal-completion` which
|
|
controls how the internal completion works: it allows the user to
|
|
choose whether to match on messages the user sent, or the user
|
|
received, and to filter the messages used for the match, for example
|
|
by date.
|
|
|
|
Allow internal address completion on an individual basis
|
|
|
|
There is a new function `notmuch-address-toggle-internal-completion`
|
|
(by default it has no keybinding) which allows users who normally
|
|
use an external completion command to use the builtin internal
|
|
completion for the current buffer.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if the user has company-mode enabled, then the user
|
|
can use company mode commands such as `company-complete` to
|
|
activate the builtin completion for an individual completion.
|
|
|
|
Resend messages
|
|
|
|
The function `notmuch-show-resend-message` (bound to `b` in show
|
|
and tree modes) will (attempt to) send current message to new
|
|
recipients. The headers of the message won't be altered (e.g. `To:`
|
|
may point to yourself). New `Resent-To:`, `Resent-From:` and so on
|
|
will be added instead.
|
|
|
|
Face customization is easier
|
|
|
|
New faces `notmuch-tag-unread`, `notmuch-tag-flagged`,
|
|
`notmuch-tag-deleted`, `notmuch-tag-added`,
|
|
`notmuch-search-flagged-face` and `notmuch-search-unread-face` are
|
|
now used by default. Customize `notmuch-faces` to modify them.
|
|
|
|
Omit User-Agent header by default when sending mail
|
|
|
|
Ruby Bindings
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Add support for `notmuch_database_get_all_tags`
|
|
|
|
Go Bindings
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Go bindings moved to contrib
|
|
|
|
Add support for `notmuch_threads_t` and `notmuch_thread_t`
|
|
|
|
Fixed constant values so they are not all zero anymore
|
|
|
|
Previously, it was impossible to open writable database handles,
|
|
because `DATABASE_MODE_READ_ONLY` and `DATABASE_MODE_READ_WRITE` were
|
|
both set to zero.
|
|
The same issue occured with sort modes.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.22.2 (2016-09-08)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Silence gdb more
|
|
|
|
Have gdb write to a log file instead of stdout, hiding some more
|
|
(harmless) stderr chatter which causes test failures.
|
|
|
|
Hardcode fingerprint in PGP/MIME tests
|
|
|
|
Make the tests more robust against changing GnuPG output formats.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.22.1 (2016-07-19)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Correct the definition of `LIBNOTMUCH_CHECK_VERSION`.
|
|
|
|
Document the (lack of) operations permitted on a closed database.
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Fix race condition in dump / restore tests.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch-Mutt
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Use `env` to locate perl.
|
|
|
|
Emacs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Tell `message-mode` mode that outgoing messages are mail
|
|
|
|
This makes message-mode configuration behave more predictably.
|
|
|
|
Respect charset of MIME parts when reading them
|
|
|
|
Fix previous assumption that everyone uses UTF-8.
|

|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Xapian 1.3 support
|
|
|
|
Notmuch should now build (and the test suite should pass) on recent
|
|
releases of Xapian 1.3.x. It has been tested with Xapian 1.3.5.
|
|
|
|
Limited support for S/MIME messages
|
|
|
|
Signature verification is supported, but not decryption. S/MIME
|
|
signature creation and S/MIME encryption are supported via built-in
|
|
support in Emacs. S/MIME support is not extensively tested at this
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
Fix for threading bug involving deleting and re-adding
|
|
messages. Fix for case-sensitive content disposition headers. Fix
|
|
handling of 1 character directory names at top level.
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch show` now supports verifying S/MIME signatures
|
|
|
|
This support relies on an appropriately configured `gpgsm`.
|
|
|
|
Build System
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Drop dependency on "pkg-config emacs".
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Notmuch replies now include all parts shown in the show view
|
|
|
|
There are two main user visible changes. The first is that rfc822
|
|
parts are now included in replies.
|
|
|
|
The second change is that part headers are now included in the reply
|
|
buffer to provide visible separation of the parts. The choice of
|
|
which part headers to show is customizable via the variable
|
|
`notmuch-mua-reply-insert-header-p-function`.
|
|
|
|
Filtering or Limiting messages is now bound to `l` in the search view
|
|
|
|
This binding now matches the analogous binding in show view.
|
|
|
|
`F` forwards all open messages in a thread
|
|
|
|
When viewing a thread of messages, the new binding `F` can be used
|
|
to generate a new outgoing message which forwards all of the open
|
|
messages in the thread. This is analogous to the `f` binding, which
|
|
forwards only the current message.
|
|
|
|
Preferred content type can be determined from the message content
|
|
|
|
More flexibility in choosing which sub-part of a
|
|
multipart/alternative part is initially shown is available by
|
|
setting `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a function
|
|
that returns a list of discouraged types. The function so specified
|
|
is passed the message as an argument and can examine the message
|
|
content to determine which content types should be discouraged. This
|
|
is in addition to the current capabilities (i.e. setting
|
|
`notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a list of discouraged
|
|
types).
|
|
|
|
When viewing a thread ("show" mode), queries that match no messages no
|
|
longer generate empty buffers
|
|
|
|
Should an attempt be made to view the thread corresponding to a
|
|
query that matches no messages, a warning message is now displayed
|
|
and the terminal bell rung rather than displaying an empty buffer
|
|
(or, in some cases, displaying an empty buffer and throwing an
|
|
error). This also affects re-display of the current thread.
|
|
|
|
Handle S/MIME signatures in emacs
|
|
|
|
The emacs interface is now capable making and verifying S/MIME
|
|
signatures.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-message-address-insinuate` is now a no-op
|
|
|
|
This reduces the amount of interference with non-notmuch uses of
|
|
message-mode.
|
|
|
|
Address completion improvements
|
|
|
|
An external script is no longer needed for address completion; if
|
|
you previously configured one, customize the variable
|
|
`notmuch-address-command` to try the internal completion. If
|
|
`company-mode` is available, notmuch uses it by default for
|
|
interactive address completion.
|
|
|
|
Test and experiment with the emacs MUA available in source tree
|
|
|
|
`./devel/try-emacs-mua` runs emacs and fills the window with
|
|
information how to try the MUA safely. Emacs is configured to use
|
|
the notmuch (lisp) files located in `./emacs` directory.
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
New `notmuch-report(1)` and `notmuch-report.json(5)` man pages
|
|
describe `notmuch-report` and its JSON configuration file. You can
|
|
build these files by running `make` in the `devel/nmbug/doc`
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
notmuch-report
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Renamed from `nmbug-status`. This script generates reports based on
|
|
notmuch queries, and doesn't really have anything to do with nmbug,
|
|
except for sharing the `NMBGIT` environment variable. The new name
|
|
focuses on the script's action, instead of its historical association
|
|
with the nmbug workflow. This should make it more discoverable for
|
|
users looking for generic notmuch reporting tools.
|
|
|
|
The default configuration file name (extracted from the `config`
|
|
branch of `NBMGIT` has changed from `status-config.json` to
|
|
`notmuch-report.json` so it is more obviously associated with the
|
|
report-generating script. The configuration file also has a new
|
|
`meta.message-url` setting, which is documented in
|
|
`notmuch-report.json(5)`.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-report` now wraps query phrases in parentheses when and-ing
|
|
them together, to avoid confusion about clause grouping.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.21 (2015-10-29)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now requires gmime >= 2.6.7. The gmime 2.4 series is no longer
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
Database revision tracking: `lastmod:` queries
|
|
|
|
Each message now has a metadata revision number that increases with
|
|
every tagging operation. See the discussion of `lastmod:` in
|
|
`notmuch-search-terms(7)` for more information.
|
|
|
|
Date queries now support `date:<expr>..!` shorthand for
|
|
`date:<expr>..<expr>`
|
|
|
|
You can use, for example, `date:yesterday..!` to match from the
|
|
beginning of yesterday to the end of yesterday. For further details,
|
|
please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch database upgrade to support `lastmod:` queries
|
|
|
|
The above mentioned `lastmod:` prefix. This will be done
|
|
automatically, without prompting on the next time `notmuch new` is
|
|
run after the upgrade. The upgrade is not reversible, and the
|
|
upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of
|
|
Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the
|
|
`.notmuch` directory before upgrading.
|
|
|
|
Build System
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The ruby bindings are now built as part of the main notmuch build
|
|
process. This can be disabled with the `--without-ruby` option to
|
|
configure.
|
|
|
|
Building the documentation can be disabled with the `--without-docs`
|
|
option to configure.
|
|
|
|
Skipped individual tests are no longer considered as failures.
|
|
|
|
Command Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Database revision tracking
|
|
|
|
Two new options were added to support revision tracking. A global
|
|
option "--uuid" (`notmuch(1)`) was added for to detect counter
|
|
rollover and reinitialization, and `notmuch-count(1)` gained a
|
|
`--lastmod` option to query database revision tracking data.
|
|
|
|
The `notmuch address` command supports new deduplication schemes
|
|
|
|
`notmuch address` has gained a new `--deduplicate` option to specify
|
|
how the results should be deduplicated, if at all. The alternatives
|
|
are `no` (do not deduplicate, useful for processing the results with
|
|
external tools), `mailbox` (deduplicate based on the full, case
|
|
sensitive name and email address), and `address` (deduplicate based
|
|
on the case insensitive address part). See the `notmuch-address`
|
|
manual page for further information.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-emacs-version` is used in `User-Agent` header
|
|
|
|
The value of recently introduced variable `notmuch-emacs-version` is
|
|
now used as a part of `User-Agent` header when sending emails.
|
|
|
|
Removed `notmuch-version` function by renaming it to `notmuch-cli-version`
|
|
|
|
With existing variable `notmuch-emacs-version` the accompanied
|
|
function which retrieves the version of `notmuch-command` is
|
|
better named as `notmuch-cli-version`.
|
|
|
|
Query input now supports completion for "is:<tag>"
|
|
|
|
New message composition mode: `notmuch-compose-mode`
|
|
|
|
This is mainly to fix fcc handling, but may be useful for user
|
|
customization as well.
|
|
|
|
Allow filtering of search results in `notmuch-show`
|
|
|
|
Add function to rerun current tree-view search in search mode
|
|
|
|
Bug fix for replying to encrypted messages in `notmuch-tree` mode
|
|
|
|
Allow saved searched to specify tree view rather than search view
|
|
|
|
Applies to saved searches run from `notmuch-hello`, or by a keyboard
|
|
shortcut (`notmuch-jump`). Can be set in the customize interface, or
|
|
by adding :search-type tree to the appropriate saved search plist in
|
|
`notmuch-saved-searches`.
|
|
|
|
Increase maximum size of rendered text parts
|
|
|
|
The variable `notmuch-show-max-text-part-size` controls the maximum
|
|
size (in bytes) which is automatically rendered. This may make
|
|
rendering large threads slower. To get the previous behaviour set
|
|
this variable to 10000.
|
|
|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The use of absolute paths is now enforced when calling
|
|
`notmuch_database_{open, create}`
|
|
|
|
New function `notmuch_directory_delete` to delete directory documents
|
|
|
|
Previously there was no way to delete directory documents from the
|
|
database, leading to confusing results when the "ghost" directory
|
|
document of a renamed or deleted filesystem directory was
|
|
encountered every time the parent directory was being scanned by
|
|
`notmuch new`. The mtime of the old directory document was also used
|
|
if a directory by the same name was added again in the filesystem,
|
|
potentially bypassing the scan for the directory. The issues are
|
|
fixed by providing a library call to delete directory documents, and
|
|
deleting the old documents in `notmuch new` on filesystem directory
|
|
removal or rename.
|
|
|
|
Database revision tracking
|
|
|
|
Revision tracking is supported via a new prefix "lastmod:" in the
|
|
query parser and the new function
|
|
`notmuch_database_get_revision`. For the latter, see `notmuch(3)`.
|
|
|
|
New status code returning API for n_query_count_{messages,threads}
|
|
|
|
Deprecated functions
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_query_search_threads`, `notmuch_query_search_messages`,
|
|
`notmuch_query_count_messages`, and `notmuch_query_count_threads`
|
|
are all deprecated as of this release. Clients are encouraged to
|
|
transition to the `_st` variants supporting better error reporting.
|
|
|
|
nmbug-status
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
`nmbug-status` now supports specifying the sort order for each view.

|
|
`notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details.
|
|
|
|
Path to gpg is now configurable

|
|
|
|
Improved notmuch-search-terms.7
|
|
|
|
The man page `notmuch-search-terms(7)` has been extended, merging
|
|
some material from the relicensed wiki.
|
|
|
|
Contrib
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-deliver` is removed. As far as we know, all functionality
|
|
previously provided by `notmuch-deliver` should now be provided by
|
|
`notmuch insert`, provided by the main notmuch binary.
|
|
|
|
nmbug-status
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
`nmbug-status` now only matches local branches when reading
|
|
`status-config.json` from the `config` branch of the `NMBGIT`
|
|
repository. To help new users running `nmbug-status`, `nmbug clone`
|
|
now creates a local `config` branch tracking `origin/config`. Folks
|
|
who use `nmbug-status` with an in-Git config (i.e. you don't use the
|
|
`--config` option) who already have `NMBGIT` set up are encouraged to
|
|
run:
|
|
|
|
git checkout config origin/config
|
|
|
|
in their `NMBGIT` repository (usually `~/.nmbug`).
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.19 (2014-11-14)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This release improves the reliability of `notmuch dump` and the error
|
|
handling for `notmuch insert`. The new `notmuch address` command is
|
|
intended to make searching for email addresses more convenient. At the
|
|
library level the revised handling of missing messages fixes at least
|
|
one bug in threading. The release also includes several interface
|
|
improvements to the emacs interface, most notably the ability to bind
|
|
keyboard shortcuts to saved searches.
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Stopped `notmuch dump` failing if someone writes to the database
|
|
|
|
The dump command now takes the write lock when running. This
|
|
prevents other processes from writing to the database during the
|
|
dump which would cause the dump to fail. Note, if another notmuch
|
|
process already has the write lock the dump will not start, so
|
|
script callers should still check the return value.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch insert` requires successful message indexing for success status
|
|
|
|
Previously the `notmuch insert` subcommand indicated success even if
|
|
the message indexing failed, as long as the message was delivered to
|
|
file system. This could have lead to delivered messages missing
|
|
tags, etc. `notmuch insert` is now more strict, also requiring
|
|
successful indexing for success status. Use the new `--keep` option
|
|
to revert to the old behaviour (keeping the delivered message file
|
|
and returning success even if indexing fails).
|
|
|
|
`notmuch insert` has gained support for `post-insert` hook
|
|
|
|
The new `post-insert` hook is run after message delivery, similar to
|
|
`post-new`. There's also a new option `notmuch insert --no-hooks` to
|
|
skip the hook. See the notmuch-hooks(1) man page for details.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch deliver` is deprecated
|
|
|
|
With this release we believe that `notmuch insert` has reached
|
|
parity with `notmuch deliver`. We recommend that all users of
|
|
`notmuch deliver` switch to `notmuch insert` as the former is
|
|
currently unmaintained.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch search` now supports `--duplicate=N` option with `--output=messages`
|
|
|
|
Complementing the `notmuch search --duplicate=N --output=files`
|
|
options, the new `--duplicate=N --output=messages` combination
|
|
limits output of message IDs to messages matching search terms that
|
|
have at least `N` files associated with them.
|
|
|
|
Added `notmuch address` subcommand
|
|
|
|
This new subcommand searches for messages matching the given search
|
|
terms, and prints the addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are
|
|
filtered out. The `--output` option controls which of the following
|
|
information is printed: sender addresses, recipient addresses and
|
|
count of duplicate addresses.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Use the `j` key to access saved searches from anywhere in notmuch
|
|
|
|
`j` is now globally bound to `notmuch-jump`, which provides fast,
|
|
interactive keyboard shortcuts to saved searches. For example,
|
|
with the default saved searches `j i` from anywhere in notmuch will
|
|
bring up the inbox.
|
|
|
|
Improved handling of the unread tag
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now marks an open message read (i.e., removes the unread
|
|
tag) if point enters the message at any time in a show buffer
|
|
regardless of how point got there (mouse click, cursor command, page
|
|
up/down, notmuch commands such as n,N etc). This fixes various
|
|
anomalies or bugs in the previous handling. Additionally it is
|
|
possible to customize the mark read handling by setting
|
|
`notmuch-show-mark-read-function` to a custom function.
|
|
|
|
Expanded default saved search settings
|
|
|
|
The default saved searches now include several more common searches,
|
|
as well as shortcut keys for `notmuch-jump`.
|
|
|
|
Improved `q` binding in notmuch buffers
|
|
|
|
`q` will now bury rather than kill a notmuch search, show or tree
|
|
buffer if there are multiple windows showing the buffer. If only a
|
|
single window is showing the buffer, it is killed.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports functions
|
|
|
|
Some list archives may use a more complicated scheme for referring
|
|
to messages than just concatenated URL and message ID. For example,
|
|
patchwork requires a query to translate message ID to a patchwork
|
|
patch ID. `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports
|
|
functions to better cover such cases. See the help documentation for
|
|
the variable for details.
|
|
|
|
Library changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Introduced database version 3 with support for "database features."
|
|
|
|
Features are independent aspects of the database schema.
|
|
Representing these independently of the database version number will
|
|
let us evolve the database format faster and more incrementally,
|
|
while maintaining better forwards and backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
Library users are no longer required to call `notmuch_database_upgrade`
|
|
|
|
Previously, library users were required to call
|
|
`notmuch_database_needs_upgrade` and `notmuch_database_upgrade`
|
|
before using a writable database. Even the CLI didn't get this
|
|
right, and it is no longer required. Now, individual APIs may
|
|
return `NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED` if the database format is
|
|
too out of date for that API.
|
|
|
|
Library users can now abort an atomic section by closing the database
|
|
|
|
Previously there was no supported way to abort an atomic section.
|
|
Callers can now simply close the database, and any outstanding
|
|
atomic section will be aborted.
|
|
|
|
Add return status to `notmuch_database_close` and
|
|
`notmuch_database_destroy`
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes and performance improvements for thread linking
|
|
|
|
The database now represents missing-but-referenced messages ("ghost
|
|
messages") similarly to how it represents regular messages. This
|
|
enables an improved thread linking algorithm that performs better
|
|
and fixes a bug that sometimes prevented notmuch from linking
|
|
messages into the same thread.
|
|
|
|
nmbug
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The Perl script has been translated to Python; you'll need Python 2.7
|
|
or anything from the 3.x line. Most of the user-facing interface is
|
|
the same, but `nmbug help` is now `nmbug --help`, and the following nmbug
|
|
commands have slightly different interfaces: `archive`, `commit`,
|
|
`fetch`, `log`, `pull`, `push`, and `status`. For details on the
|
|
new interface for a given command, run `nmbug COMMAND --help`.
|
|
|
|
nmbug-status
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
`nmbug-status` can now optionally load header and footer templates
|
|
from the config file. Use something like:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"meta": {
|
|
"header": "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang="en">\n...",
|
|
"footer": "</body></html>",
|
|
...
|
|
},
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Python Bindings
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Add support for `notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude`
|
|
|
|
Build System
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The notmuch binaries and libraries are now build with debugging symbols
|
|
by default. Users concerned with disk space should change the
|
|
defaults when configuring or use the strip(1) command.

Notmuch 0.18.1 (2014-06-25)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
This is a bug fix and portability release.
|
|
|
|
Build System
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Add a workaround for systems without zlib.pc
|
|
|
|
Make emacs install robust against the non-existence of emacs
|
|
|
|
Put notmuch lib directory first in RPATH
|
|
|
|
Fix handling of `html_static_path` in sphinx
|
|
|
|
Both the python bindings and the main docs had spurious settings of
|
|
this variable.
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Use --quick when starting emacs
|
|
|
|
This avoids a hang in the T160-json tests.
|
|
|
|
Allow pending break points in atomicity script
|
|
|
|
This allows the atomicity tests to run on several more architectures/OSes.
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
To improve portability use fsync instead of fdatasync in
|
|
`notmuch-dump`. There should be no functional difference.
|
|
|
|
Library changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Resurrect support for single-message mbox files
|
|
|
|
The removal introduced a bug with previously indexed single-message
|
|
mboxes. This support remains deprecated.
|
|
|
|
Fix for phrase indexing
|
|
|
|
There were several bugs where words intermingled from different
|
|
headers and MIME parts could match a single phrase query. This fix
|
|
will affect only newly indexed messages.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Make sure tagging on an empty query is harmless
|
|
|
|
Previously tagging an empty query could lead to tags being
|
|
unintentionally removed.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.18 (2014-05-06)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This new release includes some enhancements to searching for messages
|
|
by filesystem location (`folder:` and `path:` prefixes under *General*
|
|
below). Saved searches in *Emacs* have also been enhanced to allow
|
|
distinct search orders for each one. Another enhancement to the
|
|
*Emacs* interface is that replies to encrypted messages are now
|
|
encrypted, reducing the risk of unintentional information disclosure.
|
|
The default dump output format has changed to the more robust
|
|
`batch-tag` format. The previously deprecated parsing of single
|
|
message mboxes has been removed. For detailed release notes, see
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The `folder:` search prefix now requires an exact match
|
|
|
|
The `folder:` prefix has been changed to search for email messages
|
|
by the exact, case sensitive maildir or MH folder name. Wildcard
|
|
matching (`folder:foo*`) is no longer supported. The new behaviour
|
|
allows for more accurate mail folder based searches, makes it
|
|
possible to search for messages in the top-level folder, and should
|
|
lead to less surprising results than the old behaviour. Users are
|
|
advised to see the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details,
|
|
and review how the change affects their existing `folder:` searches.
|
|
|
|
There is a new `path:` search prefix
|
|
|
|
The new `path:` search prefix complements the `folder:` prefix. The
|
|
`path:` prefix searches for email messages that are in particular
|
|
directories within the mail store, optionally recursively using a
|
|
special syntax. See the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch database upgrade due to `folder:` and `path:` changes
|
|
|
|
The above mentioned changes to the `folder:` prefix and the addition
|
|
of `path:` prefix require a Notmuch database upgrade. This will be
|
|
done automatically, without prompting on the next time `notmuch new`
|
|
is run after the upgrade. The upgrade is not reversible, and the
|
|
upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of
|
|
Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the
|
|
`.notmuch` directory before upgrading.
|
|
|
|
Library changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Notmuch database upgrade
|
|
|
|
The libnotmuch consumers are reminded to handle database upgrades
|
|
properly, either by relying on running `notmuch new`, or checking
|
|
`notmuch_database_needs_upgrade()` and calling
|
|
`notmuch_database_upgrade()` as necessary. This has always been the
|
|
case, but in practise there have been no database upgrades in any
|
|
released version of Notmuch before now.
|
|
|
|
Support for indexing mbox files has been dropped
|
|
|
|
There has never been proper support for mbox files containing
|
|
multiple messages, and the support for single-message mbox files has
|
|
been deprecated since Notmuch 0.15. The support has now been
|
|
dropped, and all mbox files will be rejected during indexing.
|
|
|
|
Message header parsing changes
|
|
|
|
Notmuch previously had an internal parser for message headers. The
|
|
parser has now been dropped in favour of letting GMime parse both
|
|
the headers and the message MIME structure at the same pass. This is
|
|
mostly an internal change, but the GMime parser is stricter in its
|
|
interpretation of the headers. This may result in messages with
|
|
slightly malformed message headers being now rejected.
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch dump` now defaults to `batch-tag` format
|
|
|
|
The old format is still available with `--format=sup`.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch new` has a --quiet option
|
|
|
|
This option suppresses the progress and summary reports.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch insert` respects maildir.synchronize_flags config option
|
|
|
|
Do not synchronize tags to maildir flags in `notmuch insert` if the
|
|
user does not want it.
|
|
|
|
The commands set consistent exit status codes on failures
|
|
|
|
The cli commands now consistently set exit status of 1 on failures,
|
|
except where explicitly otherwise noted. The notable expections are
|
|
the status codes for format version mismatches for commands that
|
|
support formatted output.
|
|
|
|
Bug fix for checking configured new.tags for invalid tags
|
|
|
|
`notmuch new` and `notmuch insert` now check the user configured
|
|
new.tags for invalid tags, and refuse to apply them, similar to
|
|
`notmuch tag`. Invalid tags are currently the empty string and tags
|
|
starting with `-`.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Init file
|
|
|
|
If the file pointed by new variable `notmuch-init-file` (typically
|
|
`~/.emacs.d/notmuch-config.el`) exists, it is loaded at the end of
|
|
`notmuch.el`. Users can put their personal notmuch emacs lisp based
|
|
configuration/customization items there instead of filling
|
|
`~/.emacs` with these.
|
|
|
|
Changed format for saved searches
|
|
|
|
The format for `notmuch-saved-searches` has changed, but old style
|
|
saved searches are still supported. The new style means that a saved
|
|
search can store the desired sort order for the search, and it can
|
|
store a separate query to use for generating the count notmuch
|
|
shows.
|
|
|
|
The variable is fully customizable and any configuration done
|
|
through customize should *just work*, with the additional options
|
|
mentioned above. For manual customization see the documentation for
|
|
`notmuch-saved-searches`.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: a new style notmuch-saved-searches variable will break
|
|
previous versions of notmuch-emacs (even search will not work); to
|
|
fix remove the customization for notmuch-saved-searches.
|
|
|
|
If you have a custom saved search sort function (not unsorted or
|
|
alphabetical) then the sort function will need to be
|
|
modified. Replacing (car saved-search) by (notmuch-saved-search-get
|
|
saved-search :name) and (cdr saved-search) by
|
|
(notmuch-saved-search-get saved-search :query) should be sufficient.
|
|
|
|
The keys of `notmuch-tag-formats` are now regexps
|
|
|
|
Previously, the keys were literal strings. Customized settings of
|
|
`notmuch-tag-formats` will continue to work as before unless tags
|
|
contain regexp special characters like `.` or `*`.
|
|
|
|
Changed tags are now shown in the buffer
|
|
|
|
Previously tag changes made in a buffer were shown immediately. In
|
|
some cases (particularly automatic tag changes like marking read)
|
|
this made it hard to see what had happened (e.g., whether the
|
|
message had been unread).
|
|
|
|
The changes are now shown explicitly in the buffer: by default
|
|
deleted tags are displayed with red strike-through and added tags
|
|
are displayed underlined in green (inverse video is used for deleted
|
|
tags if the terminal does not support strike-through).
|
|
|
|
The variables `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` and
|
|
`notmuch-tag-added-formats`, which have the same syntax as
|
|
`notmuch-tag-formats`, allow this to be customized.
|
|
|
|
Setting `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` to `'((".*" nil))` and
|
|
`notmuch-tag-added-formats` to `'((".*" tag))` will give the old
|
|
behavior of hiding deleted tags and showing added tags identically
|
|
to tags already present.
|
|
|
|
Version variable
|
|
|
|
The new, build-time generated variable `notmuch-emacs-version` is used
|
|
to distinguish between notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions.
|
|
The function `notmuch-hello-versions` (bound to 'v' in notmuch-hello
|
|
window) prints both notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions in case
|
|
these differ from each other.
|
|
This is especially useful when using notmuch remotely.
|
|
|
|
Ido-completing-read initialization in Emacs 23
|
|
|
|
`ido-completing-read` in Emacs 23 versions 1 through 3 freezes unless
|
|
it is initialized. Defadvice-based *Ido* initialization is defined
|
|
for these Emacs versions.
|
|
|
|
Bug fix for saved searches with newlines in them
|
|
|
|
Split lines confuse `notmuch count --batch`, so we remove embedded
|
|
newlines before calling notmuch count.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes for sender identities
|
|
|
|
Previously, Emacs would rewrite some sender identities in unexpected
|
|
and undesirable ways. Now it will use identities exactly as
|
|
configured in `notmuch-identities`.
|
|
|
|
Replies to encrypted messages will be encrypted by default
|
|
|
|
In the interest of maintaining confidentiality of communications,
|
|
the Notmuch Emacs interface now automatically adds the mml tag to
|
|
encrypt replies to encrypted messages. This should make it less
|
|
likely to accidentally reply to encrypted messages in plain text.
|
|
|
|
Reply pushes mark before signature
|
|
|
|
We push mark and set point on reply so that the user can easily cut
|
|
the quoted text. The mark is now pushed before the signature, if
|
|
any, instead of end of buffer so the signature is preserved.
|
|
|
|
Message piping uses the originating buffer's working directory
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-show-pipe-message` now uses the originating buffer's
|
|
current default directory instead of that of the `*notmuch-pipe*`
|
|
buffer's.
|
|
|
|
nmbug
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
nmbug adds a `clone` command for setting up the initial repository and
|
|
uses `@{upstream}` instead of `FETCH_HEAD` to track upstream changes.
|
|
|
|
The `@{upstream}` change reduces ambiguity when fetching multiple
|
|
branches, but requires existing users update their `NMBGIT`
|
|
repository (usually `~/.nmbug`) to distinguish between local and
|
|
remote-tracking branches. The easiest way to do this is:
|
|
|
|
1. If you have any purely local commits (i.e. they aren't in the
|
|
nmbug repository on nmbug.tethera.net), push them to a remote
|
|
repository. We'll restore them from the backup in step 4.
|
|
2. Remove your `NMBGIT` repository (e.g. `mv .nmbug .nmbug.bak`).
|
|
3. Use the new `clone` command to create a fresh clone:
|
|
|
|
nmbug clone http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
|
|
|
|
4. If you had local commits in step 1, add a remote for that
|
|
repository and fetch them into the new repository.

|
Notmuch 0.17 (2013-12-30)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Incompatible change in SHA1 computation
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Previously on big endian architectures like sparc and powerpc the
|
|
computation of SHA1 hashes was incorrect. This meant that messages
|
|
with overlong or missing message-ids were given different computed
|
|
message-ids than on more common little endian architectures like i386
|
|
and amd64. If you use notmuch on a big endian architecture, you are
|
|
strongly advised to make a backup of your tags using `notmuch dump`
|
|
before this upgrade. You can locate the affected files using something
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
notmuch dump | \
|
|
awk '/^notmuch-sha1-[0-9a-f]{40} / \
|
|
{system("notmuch search --exclude=false --output=files id:" $1)}'
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
New options to better support handling duplicate messages
|
|
|
|
If more than one message file is associated with a message-id,
|
|
`notmuch search --output=files` will print all of them. A new
|
|
`--duplicate=N` option can be used to specify which duplicate to
|
|
print for each message.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch count` now supports `--output=files` option to output the
|
|
number of files associated with matching messages. This may be
|
|
bigger than the number of matching messages due to duplicates
|
|
(i.e. multiple files having the same message-id).
|
|
|
|
Improved `notmuch new` performance for unchanged folders
|
|
|
|
`notmuch new` now skips over unchanged folders more efficiently,
|
|
which can substantially improve the performance of checking for new
|
|
mail in some situations (like NFS-mounted Maildirs).
|
|
|
|
`notmuch reply --format=text` RFC 2047-encodes headers
|
|
|
|
Previously, this used a mix of standard MIME encoding for the reply
|
|
body and UTF-8 for the headers. Now, the text format reply template
|
|
RFC 2047-encodes the headers, making the output a valid RFC 2822
|
|
message. The JSON/sexp format is unchanged.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch compact` command
|
|
|
|
The new `compact` command exposes Xapian's compaction
|
|
functionality through a more convenient interface than
|
|
`xapian-compact`. `notmuch compact` will compact the database to a
|
|
temporary location, optionally backup the original database, and
|
|
move the compacted database into place.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-tree` (formerly `notmuch-pick`) has been added to mainline
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-tree` is a threaded message view for the emacs
|
|
interface. Each message is one line in the results and the thread
|
|
structure is shown using UTF-8 box drawing characters (similar to
|
|
Mutt's threaded view). It comes between search and show in terms of
|
|
amount of output and can be useful for viewing both single threads
|
|
and multiple threads.
|
|
|
|
Using `notmuch-tree`
|
|
|
|
The main key entries to notmuch tree are
|
|
|
|
'z' enter a query to view using notmuch tree (works in hello,
|
|
search, show and tree mode itself)
|
|
|
|
'Z' view the current query in tree notmuch tree (works from search
|
|
and show)
|
|
|
|
Once in tree mode, keybindings are mostly in line with the rest of
|
|
notmuch and are all viewable with '?' as usual.
|
|
|
|
Customising `notmuch-tree`
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-tree` has several customisation variables. The most
|
|
significant is the first notmuch-tree-show-out which determines the
|
|
behaviour when selecting a message (with RET) in tree view. By
|
|
default tree view uses a split window showing the single message in
|
|
the bottom pane. However, if this option is set then it views the
|
|
whole thread in the complete window jumping to the selected message
|
|
in the thread. In either case command-prefix selects the other option.
|
|
|
|
Tagging threads in search is now race-free
|
|
|
|
Previously, adding or removing a tag from a thread in a search
|
|
buffer would affect messages that had arrived after the search was
|
|
performed, resulting in, for example, archiving messages that were
|
|
never seen. Tagging now affects only the messages that were in the
|
|
thread when the search was performed.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-hello` refreshes when switching to the buffer
|
|
|
|
The hello buffer now refreshes whenever you switch to the buffer,
|
|
regardless of how you get there. You can disable automatic
|
|
refreshing by customizing `notmuch-hello-auto-refresh`.
|
|
|
|
Specific mini-buffer prompts for tagging operations
|
|
|
|
When entering tags to add or remove, the mini-buffer prompt now
|
|
indicates what operation will be performed (e.g., "Tag thread", "Tag
|
|
message", etc).
|
|
|
|
Built-in help improvements
|
|
|
|
Documentation for many commands has been improved, as displayed by
|
|
`notmuch-help` (usually bound to "?"). The bindings listed by
|
|
`notmuch-help` also now include descriptions of prefixed commands.
|
|
|
|
Quote replies as they are displayed in show view
|
|
|
|
We now render the parts for reply quoting the same way they are
|
|
rendered for show. At this time, the notable change is that replies
|
|
to text/calendar are now pretty instead of raw vcalendar.
|
|
|
|
Fixed inconsistent use of configured search order
|
|
|
|
All ways of interactively invoking search now honor the value of
|
|
`notmuch-search-oldest-first`.
|
|
|
|
Common keymap for notmuch-wide bindings
|
|
|
|
Several key bindings have been moved from mode-specific keymaps to
|
|
the single `notmuch-common-keymap`, which is inherited by each
|
|
notmuch mode. If you've customized your key bindings, you may want
|
|
to move some of them to the common keymap.
|
|
|
|
The `notmuch-tag` function now requires a list of tag changes
|
|
|
|
For users who have scripted the Emacs interface: the `notmuch-tag`
|
|
API has changed. Previously, it accepted either a list of tag
|
|
changes or a space-separated string of tag changes. The latter is
|
|
no longer supported and the function now returns nothing.
|
|
|
|
Fixed `notmuch-reply` putting reply in primary selection
|
|
|
|
On emacs 24 notmuch-reply used to put the cited text into the
|
|
primary selection (which could lead to inadvertently pasting this
|
|
cited text elsewhere). Now the primary-selection is not changed.
|
|
|
|
Fixed `notmuch-show` invisible part handling
|
|
|
|
In some obscure cases part buttons and invisibility had strange
|
|
interactions: in particular, the default action for some parts gave
|
|
the wrong action. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Fixed `notmuch-show` attachment viewers and stderr
|
|
|
|
In emacs 24.3+ viewing an attachment could cause spurious text to
|
|
appear in the show buffer (any stderr or stdout the viewer
|
|
produced). By default this output is now discarded. For debugging,
|
|
setting `notmuch-show-attachment-debug` causes notmuch to keep the
|
|
viewer's stderr and stdout in a separate buffer.
|
|
|
|
Fixed `notmuch-mua-reply` point placement when signature involved
|
|
|
|
By restricting cursor movement to body section for cursor placement
|
|
after signature is inserted, the cursor cannot "leak" to header
|
|
section anymore. Now inserted citation content will definitely go to
|
|
the body part of the message.
|
|
|
|
Vim Interface
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to compose new messages in the Vim interface, as
|
|
opposed reply to existing messages. There is also support for
|
|
going straight to a search (bypassing the folders view).
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.16 (2013-08-03)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Support for delivering messages to Maildir
|
|
|
|
There is a new command `insert` that adds a message to a Maildir
|
|
folder and notmuch index.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch count --batch` option
|
|
|
|
`notmuch count` now supports batch operations similar to `notmuch
|
|
tag`. This is mostly an optimization for remote notmuch usage.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch tag` option to remove all tags from matching messages
|
|
|
|
`notmuch tag --remove-all` option has been added to remove all tags
|
|
from matching messages. This can be combined with adding new tags,
|
|
resulting in setting (rather than modifying) the tags of the
|
|
messages.
|
|
|
|
Decrypting commands explicitly expect a gpg-agent
|
|
|
|
Decryption in `notmuch show` and `notmuch reply` has only ever
|
|
worked with a functioning gpg-agent. This is now made explicit in
|
|
code and documentation. The functional change is that it's now
|
|
possible to have gpg-agent running, but gpg "use-agent"
|
|
configuration option disabled, not forcing the user to use the agent
|
|
everywhere.
|
|
|
|
Configuration file saves follow symbolic links
|
|
|
|
The notmuch commands that save the configuration file now follow
|
|
symbolic links instead of overwrite them.
|
|
|
|
Top level option to specify configuration file
|
|
|
|
It's now possible to specify the configuration file to use on the
|
|
command line using the `notmuch --config=FILE` option.
|
|
|
|
Bash command-line completion
|
|
|
|
The notmuch command-line completion support for the bash shell has
|
|
been rewritten. Supported completions include all the notmuch
|
|
commands, command-line arguments, values for keyword arguments,
|
|
search prefixes (such as "subject:" or "from:") in all commands that
|
|
use search terms, tags after + and - in `notmuch tag`, tags after
|
|
"tag:" prefix, user's email addresses after "from:" and "to:"
|
|
prefixes, and config options (and some config option values) in
|
|
`notmuch config`. The new completion support depends on the
|
|
bash-completion package.
|
|
|
|
Deprecated commands "part" and "search-tags" are removed.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
New keymap to view/save parts; removed s/v/o/| part button bindings
|
|
|
|
The commands to view, save, and open MIME parts are now prefixed
|
|
with "." (". s" to save, ". v" to view, etc) and can be invoked with
|
|
point anywhere in a part, unlike the old commands, which were
|
|
restricted to part buttons. The old "s"/"v"/"o"/"|" commands on
|
|
part buttons have been removed since they clashed with other
|
|
bindings (notably "s" for search!) and could not be invoked when
|
|
there was no part button. The new, prefixed bindings appear in
|
|
show's help, so you no longer have to memorize them.
|
|
|
|
Default part save directory is now `mm-default-directory`
|
|
|
|
Previously, notmuch offered to save parts and attachments to a mix
|
|
of `mm-default-directory`, `mailcap-download-directory`, and `~/`.
|
|
This has been standardized on `mm-default-directory`.
|
|
|
|
Key bindings for next/previous thread
|
|
|
|
Show view has new key bindings M-n and M-p to move to the next and
|
|
previous thread in the search results.
|
|
|
|
Better handling of errors in search buffers
|
|
|
|
Instead of interleaving errors in search result buffers, search mode
|
|
now reports errors in the minibuffer.
|
|
|
|
Faster search and show
|
|
|
|
Communication between Emacs and the notmuch CLI is now more
|
|
efficient because it uses the CLI's S-expression support. As a
|
|
result, search mode should now fill search buffers faster and
|
|
threads should show faster.
|
|
|
|
No Emacs 22 support
|
|
|
|
The Emacs 22 support added late 2010 was sufficient only for a short
|
|
period of time. After being incomplete for roughly 2 years the code
|
|
in question was now removed from this release.
|
|
|
|
Vim Front-End
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The vim based front-end has been replaced with a new one that uses the Ruby
|
|
bindings. The old font-end is available in the contrib subfolder.
|
|
|
|
Python Bindings
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix loading of libnotmuch shared library on OS X (Darwin) systems.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.15.2 (2013-02-17)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Build fixes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Update dependencies to avoid problems when building in parallel.
|
|
|
|
Internal test framework changes
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Adjust Emacs test watchdog mechanism to cope with `process-attributes`
|
|
being unimplemented.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.15.1 (2013-01-24)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Internal test framework changes
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Set a default value for TERM when running tests. This fixes certain
|
|
build failures in non-interactive environments.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.15 (2013-01-18)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Date range search support
|
|
|
|
The `date:` prefix can now be used in queries to restrict the results
|
|
to only messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
|
|
header) with a range syntax of `date:<since>..<until>`. Notmuch
|
|
supports a wide variety of expressions in `<since>` and
|
|
`<until>`. Please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms(7)` manual page
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Empty tag names and tags beginning with "-" are deprecated
|
|
|
|
Such tags have been a frequent source of confusion and cause
|
|
(sometimes unresolvable) conflicts with other syntax. notmuch tag
|
|
no longer allows such tags to be added to messages. Removing such
|
|
tags continues to be supported to allow cleanup of existing tags,
|
|
but may be removed in a future release.
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch new` no longer chokes on mboxes
|
|
|
|
`notmuch new` now rejects mbox files containing more than one
|
|
message, rather than treating the file as one giant message.
|
|
|
|
Support for single message mboxes is deprecated
|
|
|
|
For historical reasons, `notmuch new` will index mbox files
|
|
containing a single message; however, this behavior is now
|
|
officially deprecated.
|
|
|
|
Fixed `notmuch new` to skip ignored broken symlinks
|
|
|
|
`notmuch new` now correctly skips symlinks if they are in the
|
|
ignored files list. Previously, it would abort when encountering
|
|
broken symlink, even if it was ignored.
|
|
|
|
New dump/restore format and tagging interface
|
|
|
|
There is a new `batch-tag` format for dump and restore that is more
|
|
robust, particularly with respect to tags and message-ids containing
|
|
whitespace.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch tag` now supports the ability to read tag operations and
|
|
queries from an input stream, in a format compatible with the new
|
|
dump/restore format.
|
|
|
|
Bcc and Reply-To headers are now available in notmuch show json output
|
|
|
|
The `notmuch show --format=json` now includes "Bcc" and "Reply-To" headers.
|
|
For example notmuch Emacs client can now have these headers visible
|
|
when the headers are added to the `notmuch-message-headers` variable.
|
|
|
|
CLI callers can now request a specific output format version
|
|
|
|
`notmuch` subcommands that support structured output now support a
|
|
`--format-version` argument for requesting a specific version of the
|
|
structured output, enabling better compatibility and error handling.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch search` has gained a null character separated text output format
|
|
|
|
The new --format=text0 output format for `notmuch search` prints
|
|
output separated by null characters rather than newline
|
|
characters. This is similar to the find(1) -print0 option, and works
|
|
together with the xargs(1) -0 option.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Removal of the deprecated `notmuch-folders` variable
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-folders` has been deprecated since the introduction of saved
|
|
searches and the notmuch hello view in notmuch 0.3. `notmuch-folders`
|
|
has now been removed. Any remaining users should migrate to
|
|
`notmuch-saved-searches`.
|
|
|
|
Visibility of MIME parts can be toggled
|
|
|
|
Each part of a multi-part MIME email can now be shown or hidden
|
|
using the button at the top of each part (by pressing RET on it or
|
|
by clicking). For emails with multiple alternative formats (e.g.,
|
|
plain text and HTML), only the preferred format is shown initially,
|
|
but other formats can be shown using their part buttons. To control
|
|
the behavior of this, see
|
|
`notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` and
|
|
`notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts`.
|
|
|
|
Note notmuch-show-print-message (bound to '#' by default) will print
|
|
all parts of multipart/alternative message regardless of whether
|
|
they are currently hidden or shown in the buffer.
|
|
|
|
Emacs now buttonizes mid: links
|
|
|
|
mid: links are a standardized way to link to messages by message ID
|
|
(see RFC 2392). Emacs now hyperlinks mid: links to the appropriate
|
|
notmuch search.
|
|
|
|
Handle errors from bodypart insertions
|
|
|
|
If displaying the text of a message in show mode causes an error (in
|
|
the `notmuch-show-insert-part-*` functions), notmuch no longer cuts
|
|
off thread display at the offending message. The error is now
|
|
simply displayed in place of the message.
|
|
|
|
Emacs now detects version mismatches with the notmuch CLI
|
|
|
|
Emacs now detects and reports when the Emacs interface version and
|
|
the notmuch CLI version are incompatible.
|
|
|
|
Improved text/calendar content handling
|
|
|
|
Carriage returns in embedded text/calendar content caused insertion
|
|
of the calendar content fail. Now CRs are removed before calling icalendar
|
|
to extract icalendar data. In case icalendar extraction fails an error
|
|
is thrown for the bodypart insertion function to deal with.
|
|
|
|
Disabled coding conversions when reading in `with-current-notmuch-show-message`
|
|
|
|
Depending on the user's locale, saving attachments containing 8-bit
|
|
data may have performed an unintentional encoding conversion,
|
|
corrupting the saved attachment. This has been fixed by making
|
|
`with-current-notmuch-show-message` disable coding conversion.
|
|
|
|
Fixed errors with HTML email containing images in Emacs 24
|
|
|
|
Emacs 24 ships with a new HTML renderer that produces better output,
|
|
but is slightly buggy. We work around a bug that caused it to fail
|
|
for HTML email containing images.
|
|
|
|
Fixed handling of tags with unusual characters in them
|
|
|
|
Emacs now handles tags containing spaces, quotes, and parenthesis.
|
|
|
|
Fixed buttonization of id: links without quote characters
|
|
|
|
Emacs now correctly buttonizes id: links where the message ID is not
|
|
quoted.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-hello` refresh point placement improvements
|
|
|
|
Refreshing the `notmuch-hello` buffer does a better job of keeping
|
|
the point where it was.
|
|
|
|
Automatic tag changes are now unified and customizable
|
|
|
|
All the automatic tag changes that the Emacs interface makes when
|
|
reading, archiving, or replying to messages, can now be
|
|
customized. Any number of tag additions and removals is supported
|
|
through the `notmuch-show-mark-read`, `notmuch-archive-tags`, and
|
|
`notmuch-message-replied-tags` customization variables.
|
|
|
|
Support for stashing the thread id in show view
|
|
|
|
Invoking `notmuch-show-stash-message-id` with a prefix argument
|
|
stashes the (local and database specific) thread id of the current
|
|
thread instead of the message id.
|
|
|
|
New add-on tool: notmuch-pick
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new contrib/ tool `notmuch-pick` is an experimental threaded message
|
|
view for the emacs interface. Each message is one line in the results
|
|
and the thread structure is shown using UTF-8 box drawing characters
|
|
(similar to Mutt's threaded view). It comes between search and show in
|
|
terms of amount of output and can be useful for viewing both single
|
|
threads and multiple threads. See the notmuch-pick README file for
|
|
further details and installation.
|
|
|
|
Portability
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
notmuch now builds on OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
Internal test framework changes
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The emacsclient binary is now user-configurable
|
|
|
|
The test framework now accepts `TEST_EMACSCLIENT` in addition to
|
|
`TEST_EMACS` for configuring the emacsclient to use. This is
|
|
necessary to avoid using an old emacsclient with a new emacs, which
|
|
can result in buggy behavior.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.14 (2012-08-20)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
General bug fixes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Maildir tag synchronization
|
|
|
|
Maildir flag-to-tag synchronization now applies only to messages in
|
|
maildir-like directory structures. Previously, it applied to any
|
|
message that had a maildir "info" part, which meant it could
|
|
incorrectly synchronize tags for non-maildir messages, while at the
|
|
same time failing to synchronize tags for newly received maildir
|
|
messages (typically causing new messages to not receive the "unread"
|
|
tag).
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The deprecated positional output file argument to `notmuch dump` has
|
|
been replaced with an `--output` option. The input file positional
|
|
argument to `notmuch restore` has been replaced with an `--input`
|
|
option for consistency with dump. These changes simplify the syntax
|
|
of dump/restore options and make them more consistent with other
|
|
notmuch commands.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Search results now get re-colored when tags are updated
|
|
|
|
The formatting of tags in search results can now be customized
|
|
|
|
Previously, attempting to change the format of tags in
|
|
`notmuch-search-result-format` would usually break tagging from
|
|
search-mode. We no longer make assumptions about the format.
|
|
|
|
Experimental support for multi-line search result formats
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to embed newlines in
|
|
`notmuch-search-result-format` to make individual search results
|
|
span multiple lines.
|
|
|
|
Next/previous in search and show now move by boundaries
|
|
|
|
All "next" and "previous" commands in the search and show modes now
|
|
move to the next/previous result or message boundary. This doesn't
|
|
change the behavior of "next", but "previous" commands will first
|
|
move to the beginning of the current result or message if point is
|
|
inside the result or message.
|
|
|
|
Search now uses the JSON format internally
|
|
|
|
This should address problems with unusual characters in authors and
|
|
subject lines that could confuse the old text-based search parser.
|
|
|
|
The date shown in search results is no longer padded before applying
|
|
user-specified formatting
|
|
|
|
Previously, the date in the search results was padded to fixed width
|
|
before being formatted with `notmuch-search-result-format`. It is
|
|
no longer padded. The default format has been updated, but if
|
|
you've customized this variable, you may have to change your date
|
|
format from `"%s "` to `"%12s "`.
|
|
|
|
The thread-id for the `target-thread` argument for `notmuch-search` should
|
|
now be supplied without the "thread:" prefix.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.13.2 (2012-06-02)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Bug-fix release
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Update `contrib/notmuch-deliver` for API changes in 0.13. This fixes a
|
|
compilation error for this contrib package.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.13.1 (2012-05-29)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Bug-fix release
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix inserting of UTF-8 characters from *text/plain* parts in reply
|
|
|
|
While notmuch gained ability to insert content from other than *text/plain*
|
|
parts of email whenever *text/plain* parts are not available (notably
|
|
HTML-only emails), replying to mails that do have *text/plain* the
|
|
non-ASCII characters were incorrectly decoded. This is now fixed.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_database_get_directory` and
|
|
`notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename` now work on read-only
|
|
databases
|
|
|
|
Previously, these functions attempted to create directory documents
|
|
that didn't exist and would return an error or abort when given a
|
|
read-only database. Now they no longer create directory documents
|
|
and simply return a `NULL` object if the directory does not exist,
|
|
as documented.
|
|
|
|
Fix compilation of ruby bindings
|
|
|
|
Revert to dynamic linking, since the statically linked bindings did
|
|
not work well.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.13 (2012-05-15)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
JSON reply format
|
|
|
|
`notmuch reply` can now produce JSON output that contains the headers
|
|
for a reply message and full information about the original message
|
|
begin replied to. This allows MUAs to create replies intelligently.
|
|
For example, an MUA that can parse HTML might quote HTML parts.
|
|
|
|
Calling notmuch reply with `--format=json` imposes the restriction that
|
|
only a single message is returned by the search, as replying to
|
|
multiple messages does not have a well-defined behavior. The default
|
|
retains its current behavior for multiple message replies.
|
|
|
|
Tag exclusion
|
|
|
|
Tags can be automatically excluded from search results by adding them
|
|
to the new `search.exclude_tags` option in the Notmuch config file.
|
|
|
|
This behaviour can be overridden by explicitly including an excluded
|
|
tag in your query, for example:
|
|
|
|
notmuch search $your_query and tag:$excluded_tag
|
|
|
|
Existing users will probably want to run `notmuch setup` again to add
|
|
the new well-commented [search] section to the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
For new configurations, accepting the default setting will cause the
|
|
tags "deleted" and "spam" to be excluded, equivalent to running:
|
|
|
|
notmuch config set search.exclude_tags deleted spam
|
|
|
|
Raw show format changes
|
|
|
|
The output of show `--format=raw` has changed for multipart and
|
|
message parts. Previously, the output was a mash of somewhat-parsed
|
|
headers and transfer-decoded bodies. Now, such parts are reproduced
|
|
faithfully from the original source. Message parts (which includes
|
|
part 0) output the full message, including the message headers (but
|
|
not the transfer headers). Multipart parts output the part as
|
|
encoded in the original message, including the part's headers. Leaf
|
|
parts, as before, output the part's transfer-decoded body.
|
|
|
|
Listing configuration items
|
|
|
|
The new `config list` command prints out all configuration items and
|
|
their values.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Changes to tagging interface
|
|
|
|
The user-facing tagging functions in the Emacs interface have been
|
|
normalized across all notmuch modes. The tagging functions are now
|
|
notmuch-search-tag in search-mode, and notmuch-show-tag in
|
|
show-mode. They accept a string representing a single tag change,
|
|
or a list of tag changes. See 'M-x describe-function notmuch-tag'
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This breaks compatibility with old tagging functions, so user
|
|
may need to update in custom configurations.
|
|
|
|
Reply improvement using the JSON format
|
|
|
|
Emacs now uses the JSON reply format to create replies. It obeys
|
|
the customization variables message-citation-line-format and
|
|
message-citation-line-function when creating the first line of the
|
|
reply body, and it will quote HTML parts if no text/plain parts are
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
New add-on tool: notmuch-mutt
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new contrib/ tool `notmuch-mutt` provides Notmuch integration for
|
|
the Mutt mail user agent. Using it, Mutt users can perform mail
|
|
search, thread reconstruction, and mail tagging/untagging without
|
|
leaving Mutt. notmuch-mutt, formerly distributed under the name
|
|
`mutt-notmuch` by Stefano Zacchiroli, will be maintained as a notmuch
|
|
contrib/ from now on.
|
|
|
|
Library changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The API changes detailed below break binary and source compatibility,
|
|
so libnotmuch has been bumped to version 3.0.0.
|
|
|
|
The function `notmuch_database_close` has been split into
|
|
`notmuch_database_close` and `notmuch_database_destroy`
|
|
|
|
This makes it possible for long running programs to close the xapian
|
|
database and thus release the lock associated with it without
|
|
destroying the data structures obtained from it.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_database_open`, `notmuch_database_create`, and
|
|
`notmuch_database_get_directory` now return errors
|
|
|
|
The type signatures of these functions have changed so that the
|
|
functions now return a `notmuch_status_t` and take an out-argument for
|
|
returning the new database object or directory object.
|
|
|
|
Go bindings changes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Go 1 compatibility
|
|
|
|
The go bindings and the `notmuch-addrlookup` utility are now
|
|
compatible with go 1.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.12 (2012-03-20)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Reply to sender
|
|
|
|
`notmuch reply` has gained the ability to create a reply template
|
|
for replying just to the sender of the message, in addition to reply
|
|
to all. The feature is available through the new command line option
|
|
`--reply-to=(all|sender)`.
|
|
|
|
Mail store folder/file ignore
|
|
|
|
A new configuration option, `new.ignore`, lets users specify a
|
|
;-separated list of file and directory names that will not be
|
|
searched for messages by `notmuch new`.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: *Every* file/directory that goes by one of those names will
|
|
be ignored, independent of its depth/location in the mail store.
|
|
|
|
Unified help and manual pages
|
|
|
|
The notmuch help command now runs man for the appropriate page. If
|
|
you install notmuch somewhere "unusual", you may need to update
|
|
MANPATH.
|
|
|
|
Manual page for notmuch configuration options
|
|
|
|
The notmuch CLI configuration file options are now documented in the
|
|
notmuch-config(1) manual page in addition to the configuration file
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Reply to sender
|
|
|
|
The Emacs interface has, with the new CLI support, gained the
|
|
ability to reply to sender in addition to reply to all. In both show
|
|
and search modes, 'r' has been bound to reply to sender, replacing
|
|
reply to all, which now has key binding 'R'.
|
|
|
|
More flexible and consistent tagging operations
|
|
|
|
All tagging operations ('+', '-', '*') now accept multiple tags with
|
|
'+' or '-' prefix, like '*' operation in notmuch-search view before.
|
|
|
|
'*' operation (`notmuch-show-tag-all`) is now available in
|
|
notmuch-show view.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-show-{add,remove}-tag` functions no longer accept tag
|
|
argument, `notmuch-show-tag-message` should be used instead. Custom
|
|
bindings using these functions should be updated, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
(notmuch-show-remove-tag "unread")
|
|
|
|
should be changed to:
|
|
|
|
(notmuch-show-tag-message "-unread")
|
|
|
|
Refreshing the show view ('=' by default) no longer opens or closes messages
|
|
|
|
To get the old behavior of putting messages back in their initial
|
|
opened/closed state, use a prefix argument, e.g., 'C-u ='.
|
|
|
|
Attachment buttons can be used to view or save attachments.
|
|
|
|
When the cursor is on an attachment button the key 's' can be used
|
|
to save the attachment, the key 'v' to view the attachment in the
|
|
default mailcap application, and the key 'o' prompts the user for an
|
|
application to use to open the attachment. By default Enter or mouse
|
|
button 1 saves the attachment but this is customisable (option
|
|
Notmuch Show Part Button Default Action).
|
|
|
|
New functions
|
|
|
|
`notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link{,-and-go}` allow stashing and
|
|
optionally visiting a URI to the current message at one of a number
|
|
of Mailing List Archives.
|
|
|
|
Fix MML tag quoting in replies
|
|
|
|
The MML tag quoting fix of 0.11.1 unintentionally quoted tags
|
|
inserted in `message-setup-hook`. Quoting is now limited to the
|
|
cited message.
|
|
|
|
Show view archiving key binding changes
|
|
|
|
The show view archiving key bindings 'a' and 'x' now remove the
|
|
"inbox" tag from the current message only (instead of thread), and
|
|
move to the next message. At the last message, 'a' proceeds to the
|
|
next thread in search results, and 'x' returns to search
|
|
results. The thread archiving functions are now available in 'A' and
|
|
'X'.
|
|
|
|
Support text/calendar MIME type
|
|
|
|
The text/calendar MIME type is now supported in addition to
|
|
text/x-vcalendar.
|
|
|
|
Generate inline patch fake attachment file names from message subject
|
|
|
|
Use the message subject to generate file names for the inline patch
|
|
fake attachments. The names are now similar to the ones generated by
|
|
'git format-patch' instead of just "inline patch". See "Notmuch Show
|
|
Insert Text/Plain Hook" in the notmuch customize interface.
|
|
|
|
Enable `notmuch-search-line-faces` by default
|
|
|
|
Make the `notmuch-search-line-faces` functionality more discoverable
|
|
for new users by showing "unread" messages bold and "flagged"
|
|
messages blue by default in the search view.
|
|
|
|
Printing Support
|
|
|
|
notmuch-show mode now has simple printing support, bound to '#' by
|
|
default. You can customize the variable notmuch-print-mechanism.
|
|
|
|
Library changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
New functions
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude` supports the new tag exclusion
|
|
feature.
|
|
|
|
Python bindings changes
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Python 3.2 compatibility
|
|
|
|
The python bindings are now compatible with both python 2.5+ and 3.2.
|
|
|
|
Added missing unicode conversions
|
|
|
|
Python strings have to be encoded to and decoded from utf-8 when
|
|
calling libnotmuch functions. Porting the bindings to python 3.2
|
|
revealed a few function calls that were missing these conversions.
|
|
|
|
Build fixes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Compatibility with GMime 2.6
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to build notmuch against both GMime 2.4 and 2.6.
|
|
However, a bug in GMime 2.6 before 2.6.5 causes notmuch not to
|
|
report signatures where the signer key is unavailable (GNOME bug
|
|
668085). For compatibility with GMime 2.4's tolerance of "From "
|
|
headers we require GMime 2.6 >= 2.6.7.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.11.1 (2012-02-03)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Bug-fix release
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix error handling in python bindings
|
|
|
|
The python bindings in 0.11 failed to detect NULL pointers being
|
|
returned from libnotmuch functions and thus failed to raise
|
|
exceptions to indicate the error condition. Any subsequent calls
|
|
into libnotmuch caused segmentation faults.
|
|
|
|
Quote MML tags in replies
|
|
|
|
MML tags are text codes that Emacs uses to indicate attachments
|
|
(among other things) in messages being composed. The Emacs
|
|
interface did not quote MML tags in the quoted text of a reply.
|
|
User could be tricked into replying to a maliciously formatted
|
|
message and not editing out the MML tags from the quoted text. This
|
|
could lead to files from the user's machine being attached to the
|
|
outgoing message. The Emacs interface now quotes these tags in
|
|
reply text, so that they do not effect outgoing messages.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.11 (2012-01-13)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Command-Line Interface
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Hooks
|
|
|
|
Hooks have been introduced to notmuch. Hooks are scripts that notmuch
|
|
invokes before and after certain actions. Initially, `notmuch new`
|
|
supports `pre-new` and `post-new` hooks that are run before and after
|
|
importing new messages into the database.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch reply --decrypt bugfix`
|
|
|
|
The `notmuch reply` command with `--decrypt` argument had a rarely
|
|
occurring bug that caused an encrypted message not to be decrypted
|
|
sometimes. This is now fixed.
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Automatic tag query optimization
|
|
|
|
`notmuch tag` now automatically optimizes the user's query to
|
|
exclude messages whose tags won't change. In the past, we've
|
|
suggested that people do this by hand; this is no longer necessary.
|
|
|
|
Don't sort messages when creating a dump file
|
|
|
|
This speeds up tag dumps considerably, without any loss of
|
|
information. To replicate the old behavior of sorted output (for
|
|
example to compare two dump files), one can use e.g. `sort(1)`.
|
|
|
|
Memory Management
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Reduction of memory leaks
|
|
|
|
Two memory leaks when searching and showing messages were identified
|
|
and fixed in this release.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
notmuch-show-advance (bound to the spacebar in notmuch-show-mode) had
|
|
a bug that caused it to always jump to the next message, even if it
|
|
should have scrolled down to show more of the current message instead.
|
|
This is now fixed.
|
|
|
|
Support `notmuch new` as a notmuch-poll-script
|
|
|
|
It's now possible to use `notmuch new` as a notmuch-poll-script
|
|
directly. This is also the new default. This allows taking better
|
|
advantage of the `notmuch new` hooks from emacs without intermediate
|
|
scripts.
|
|
|
|
Improvements in saved search management
|
|
|
|
New saved searches are now appended to the list of saved searches,
|
|
not inserted in front. It's also possible to define a sort function
|
|
for displaying saved searches; alphabetical sort is provided.
|
|
|
|
Hooks for notmuch-hello
|
|
|
|
Two new hooks have been added: "notmuch-hello-mode-hook" (called after
|
|
entering notmuch-hello-mode) and "notmuch-hello-refresh-hook" (called
|
|
after updating a notmuch-hello buffer).
|
|
|
|
New face for crypto parts headers
|
|
|
|
Crypto parts used to be displayed with a hardcoded color. A new face
|
|
has been introduced to fix this: notmuch-crypto-part-header. It
|
|
defaults to the same value as before, but can be customized to match
|
|
other color themes.
|
|
|
|
Use space as default thousands separator
|
|
|
|
Large numbers in notmuch-hello are now displayed using a space as
|
|
thousands separator (e.g. "123 456" instead of "123,456"). This can be
|
|
changed by customizing "notmuch-hello-thousands-separator".
|
|
|
|
Call notmuch-show instead of notmuch-search when clicking on
|
|
buttonized id: links
|
|
|
|
New function notmuch-show-advance
|
|
|
|
This new function advances through just the current thread, and is
|
|
less invasive than notmuch-show-advance-and-archive. It can easily
|
|
be bound to SPC with:
|
|
|
|
(define-key notmuch-show-mode-map " " 'notmuch-show-advance)
|
|
|
|
Various performance improvements
|
|
|
|
New add-on tool
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The tool `contrib/notmuch-deliver` helps with initial delivery and
|
|
tagging of mail (replacing running `notmuch new`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.10.2 (2011-12-04)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Bug-fix release
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix crash in python bindings
|
|
|
|
The python bindings did not call `g_type_init`, which caused crashes
|
|
for some, but not all users.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.10.1 (2011-11-25)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Bug-fix release
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix `--help` argument
|
|
|
|
Argument processing changes in 0.10 introduced a bug where
|
|
`notmuch --help` crashed while `notmuch help` worked fine.
|
|
This is fixed in 0.10.1.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.10 (2011-11-23)
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
New build and testing features
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Emacs tests are now done in `dtach`. This means that dtach is now
|
|
needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for
|
|
prerequisites is improved.
|
|
|
|
Full test coverage of the stashing feature in Emacs.
|
|
|
|
New command-line features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Add `notmuch restore --accumulate` option
|
|
|
|
The `--accumulate` switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to
|
|
be applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in
|
|
from the dump file.
|
|
|
|
Add search terms to `notmuch dump`
|
|
|
|
The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch
|
|
search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in
|
|
favour of using stdout.
|
|
|
|
Add `notmuch search` `--offset` and `--limit` options
|
|
|
|
The search command now takes options `--offset=[-]N` and `--limit=N` to
|
|
limit the number of results shown.
|
|
|
|
Add `notmuch count --output` option
|
|
|
|
The count command is now capable of counting threads in addition to
|
|
messages. This is selected using the new `--output=(threads|messages)`
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
New emacs UI features
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Add tab-completion for `notmuch-search` and `notmuch-search-filter`
|
|
|
|
These functions now support completion tags for query parts
|
|
starting with "tag:".
|
|
|
|
Turn "id:MSG-ID" links into buttons associated with notmuch searches
|
|
|
|
Text of the form "id:MSG-ID" in mails is now a clickable button that
|
|
opens a notmuch search for the given message id.
|
|
|
|
Add keybinding ('c I') for stashing Message-ID's without an id: prefix
|
|
|
|
Reduces manual labour when stashing them for use outside notmuch.
|
|
|
|
Do not query on `notmuch-search` exit
|
|
|
|
It is harmless to kill the external notmuch process, so the user
|
|
is no longer interrogated when they interrupt a search.
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Emacs now constructs large search buffers more efficiently
|
|
|
|
Search avoids opening and parsing message files
|
|
|
|
We now store more information in the database so search no longer
|
|
has to open every message file to get basic headers. This can
|
|
improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this
|
|
requires a database rebuild:
|
|
|
|
notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
|
|
# Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
|
|
notmuch new
|
|
notmuch restore notmuch.dump
|
|
|
|
New collection of add-on tools
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The source directory "contrib" contains tools built on notmuch. These
|
|
tools are not part of notmuch, and you should check their individual
|
|
licenses. Feel free to report problems with them to the notmuch
|
|
mailing list.
|
|
|
|
nmbug - share tags with a given prefix
|
|
|
|
nmbug helps maintain a git repo containing all tags with a given
|
|
prefix (by default "notmuch::"). Tags can be shared by commiting
|
|
them to git in one location and restoring in another.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.9 (2011-10-01)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
New, general features
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Correct handling of interruptions during `notmuch new`
|
|
|
|
`notmuch new` now operates as a series of small, self-consistent
|
|
transactions, so it can correctly resume after an interruption or
|
|
crash. Previously, interruption could lose existing tags, fail to
|
|
detect messages on resume, or leave the database in a state
|
|
temporarily or permanently inconsistent with the mail store.
|
|
|
|
Library changes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
New functions
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_database_begin_atomic` and `notmuch_database_end_atomic`
|
|
allow multiple database operations to be performed atomically.
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename` does exactly what it says.
|
|
|
|
API changes
|
|
|
|
`notmuch_database_find_message` (and `n_d_f_m_by_filename`) now return
|
|
a status indicator and uses an output parameter for the
|
|
message. This change required changing the SONAME of libnotmuch to
|
|
libnotmuch.so.2
|
|
|
|
Python bindings changes
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- Re-encode python unicode objects to utf-8 before passing back to
|
|
libnotmuch.
|
|
- Support `Database().begin_atomic()/end_atomic()`
|
|
- Support `Database().find_message_by_filename()`
|
|
NB! This needs a db opened in READ-WRITE mode currently, or it will crash
|
|
the python process. The is a limitation (=bug) of the underlying libnotmuch.
|
|
- Fixes where we would not throw NotmuchErrors when we should (Justus Winter)
|
|
- Update for `n_d_find_message*` API changes (see above).
|
|
|
|
Ruby bindings changes
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
- Wrap new library functions `notmuch_database_{begin,end}_atomic.`
|
|
- Add new exception `Notmuch::UnbalancedAtomicError.`
|
|
- Rename destroy to destroy! according to Ruby naming conventions.
|
|
- Update for `n_d_find_message*` API changes (see above).
|
|
|
|
Emacs improvements
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* Add gpg callback to crypto sigstatus buttons to retrieve/refresh
|
|
signing key.
|
|
* Add `notmuch-show-refresh-view` function (and corresponding binding)
|
|
to refresh the view of a notmuch-show buffer.
|
|
|
|
Reply formatting cleanup
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch reply` no longer includes notification that non-leafnode
|
|
MIME parts are being suppressed.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.8 (2011-09-10)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Improved handling of message/rfc822 parts
|
|
|
|
Both in the CLI and the emacs interface. Output of rfc822 parts now
|
|
includes the primary headers, as well as the body and all subparts.
|
|
Output of the completely raw rfc822-formatted message, including all
|
|
headers, is unfortunately not yet supported (but hopefully will be
|
|
soon).
|
|
|
|
Improved Build system portability
|
|
|
|
Certain parts of the shell script generating notmuch.sym were
|
|
specific to the GNU versions of sed and nm. The new version should
|
|
be more portable to e.g. OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
Documentation update for Ruby bindings
|
|
|
|
Added documentation, typo fixes, and improved support for rdoc.
|
|
|
|
Unicode, iterator, PEP8 changes for python bindings
|
|
|
|
- PEP8 (code formatting) changes for python files.
|
|
- Remove `Tags.__len__` ; see 0.6 release notes for motivation.
|
|
- Decode headers as UTF8, encode (unicode) database paths as UTF8.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.7 (2011-08-01)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Vim interface improvements
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Jason Woofenden provided a number of bug fixes for the Vim interface
|
|
|
|
* fix citation/signature fold lengths
|
|
* fix cig/cit parsing within multipart/*
|
|
* fix on-screen instructions for show-signature
|
|
* fix from list reformatting in search view
|
|
* fix space key: now archives (did opposite)
|
|
|
|
Uwe Kleine-König contributed
|
|
|
|
* use full path for sendmail/doc fix
|
|
* fix compose temp file name
|
|
|
|
Python Bindings changes
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Sebastian Spaeth contributed two changes related to unicode and UTF8:
|
|
|
|
* message tags are now explicitly unicode
|
|
* query string is encoded as a UTF8 byte string
|
|
|
|
Build-System improvements
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Generate notmuch.sym after the relevant object files
|
|
|
|
This fixes a bug in parallel building. Thanks to Thomas Jost for the
|
|
patch.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.6.1 (2011-07-17)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Bug-fix release
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Re-export Xapian exception typeinfo symbols
|
|
|
|
It turned out our aggressive symbol hiding caused problems for
|
|
people running gcc 4.4.5.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.6 (2011-07-01)
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
New, general features
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Folder-based searching
|
|
|
|
Notmuch queries can now include a search term to match the
|
|
directories in which mail files are stored (within the mail
|
|
storage). The syntax is as follows:
|
|
|
|
folder:<path>
|
|
|
|
For example, one might use things such as:
|
|
|
|
folder:spam
|
|
folder:2011-*
|
|
folder:work/todo
|
|
|
|
to match any path containing a directory "spam", "work/todo", or
|
|
containing a directory starting with "2011-", respectively.
|
|
|
|
This feature is particularly useful for users of delivery-agent
|
|
software (such as procmail or maildrop) that is filtering mail and
|
|
delivering it to particular folders, or users of systems such as
|
|
Gmail that use filesystem directories to indicate message tags.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Only messages that are newly indexed with this version of
|
|
notmuch will be searchable with folder: terms. In order to enable
|
|
this feature for all mail, the entire notmuch index will need to be
|
|
rebuilt as follows:
|
|
|
|
notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
|
|
# Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
|
|
notmuch new
|
|
notmuch restore notmuch.dump
|
|
|
|
Support for PGP/MIME
|
|
|
|
Both the command-line interface and the emacs-interface have new
|
|
support for PGP/MIME, detailed below. Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor
|
|
and Jameson Graef Rollins for making this happen.
|
|
|
|
New, automatic tags: "signed" and "encrypted"
|
|
|
|
These tags will automatically be applied to messages containing
|
|
multipart/signed and multipart/encrypted parts.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Only messages that are newly indexed with this version of
|
|
notmuch will receive these tags.
|
|
|
|
New command-line features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Add new "notmuch show --verify" option for signature verification
|
|
|
|
This option instruct notmuch to verify the signature of
|
|
PGP/MIME-signed parts.
|
|
|
|
Add new "notmuch show --decrypt" and "notmuch reply --decrypt" options
|
|
|
|
This option instructs notmuch to decrypt PGP/MIME-encrypted parts.
|
|
Note that this feature currently requires gpg-agent and a passphrase entry
|
|
tool (e.g. pinentry-gtk or pinentry-curses).
|
|
|
|
Proper nesting of multipart parts in "notmuch show" output
|
|
|
|
MIME parts are now display with proper nesting to reflect original
|
|
MIME hierarchy of a message. This allows clients to correctly
|
|
analyze the MIME structure, (such as, for example, determining to
|
|
which parts a signature part applies).
|
|
|
|
Add new "notmuch show --part" option
|
|
|
|
This is a replacement for the older "notmuch part" command, (which
|
|
is now deprecated—it should still work as always, but is no longer
|
|
documented). Putting part output under "notmuch show" allows for all
|
|
of the "notmuch show" options to be applied when extracting a single
|
|
part, (such as --format=json for extracting a message part with JSON
|
|
formatting).
|
|
|
|
Deprecate "notmuch search-tags" (in favor of "notmuch search --output=tags *")
|
|
|
|
The "notmuch search-tags" sub-command has been redundant since the
|
|
addition of the --output=tags option to "notmuch search". We now
|
|
make that more clear by deprecating "notmuch search-tags", (dropping
|
|
it from the documentation). We do continue to support the old syntax
|
|
by translating it internally to the new call.
|
|
|
|
Performance improvements
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Faster searches (by doing fewer searches to construct threads)
|
|
|
|
Whenever a user asks for search results as threads, notmuch first
|
|
performs a search for messages matching the query, then performs
|
|
additional searches to find other messages in the resulting threads.
|
|
|
|
Removing inefficiencies and redundancies in these secondary searches
|
|
results in a measured speedups of 1.5x for a typical search.
|
|
|
|
Faster searches (by doing fewer passes to gather message data)
|
|
|
|
Optimizing Xapian data access patterns (using a single pass to get
|
|
all message-document data rather than a pass for each data type)
|
|
results in a measured speedup of 1.7x for a typical search.
|
|
|
|
The benefits of this optimization combine with the preceding
|
|
optimization. With both in place, Austin Clements measured a speedup
|
|
of 2.5x for a search of all messages in his inbox (was 4.5s, now
|
|
1.8s). Thanks, Austin!
|
|
|
|
Faster initial indexing
|
|
|
|
More efficient indexing of new messages results in a measured
|
|
speedup of 1.4x for the initial indexing of 3 GB of mail (1h 14m
|
|
rather than 1h 46m). Thanks to Austin Clements and Michal Sojka.
|
|
|
|
Make "notmuch new" faster for unchanged directories
|
|
|
|
Optimizing to not do any further examinations of sub-directories
|
|
when the filesystem indicates that a directory is unchanged from the
|
|
last "notmuch new" results in measured speedups of 8.5 for the "No
|
|
new mail" case, (was 0.77s, now 0.09s). Thanks to Karel Zak.
|
|
|
|
New emacs-interface features
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Support for PGP/MIME (GnuPG)
|
|
|
|
Automatically indicate validity of signatures for multipart/signed
|
|
messages. Automatically display decrypted content for
|
|
multipart/encrypted messages. See the emacs variable
|
|
notmuch-crypto-process-mime for more information. Note that this
|
|
needs gpg-agent and a pinentry tool just as the command-line tools.
|
|
Also note there is no support SMIME yet.
|
|
|
|
Output of pipe command is now displayed if pipe command fails
|
|
|
|
This is extremely useful in the common use case of piping a patch to
|
|
"git am". If git fails to cleanly merge the patch the error messages
|
|
from the failed merge are now clearly displayed to the user, (where
|
|
previously they were silently hidden from the user).
|
|
|
|
User-selectable From address
|
|
|
|
A user can choose which configured email addresses should be used as
|
|
the From address whenever composing a new message. To do so, simply
|
|
press C-u before the command which will open a new message. Emacs
|
|
will prompt for the from address to use.
|
|
|
|
The user can customize the "Notmuch Identities" setting in the
|
|
notmuch customize group in order to use addresses other than those in
|
|
the notmuch configuration file if desired.
|
|
|
|
The user can also choose to always be prompted for the from address
|
|
when composing a new message (without having to use C-u) by setting
|
|
the "Notmuch Always Prompt For Sender" option in the notmuch
|
|
customize group.
|
|
|
|
Hiding of repeated subjects in collapsed thread view
|
|
|
|
In notmuch-show mode, if a collapsed message has the same subject as
|
|
its parent, the subject is not shown.
|
|
|
|
Automatic detection and hiding of original message in top-posted message
|
|
|
|
When a message contains a line looking something like:
|
|
|
|
----- Original Message -----
|
|
|
|
emacs hides this and all subsequent lines as an "original message",
|
|
(allowing the user to click or press enter on the "original message"
|
|
button to display it again). This makes the handling of top-posted
|
|
citations work much like conventional citations.
|
|
|
|
New hooks for running code when tags are modified
|
|
|
|
Some users want to perform additional actions whenever a particular
|
|
tag is added/removed from a message. This could be used to, for
|
|
example, interface with some external spam-recognition training
|
|
tool. To facilitate this, two new hooks are added which can be
|
|
modified in the following settings of the notmuch customize group:
|
|
|
|
Notmuch Before Tag Hook
|
|
Notmuch After Tag Hook
|
|
|
|
New optional support for hiding some multipart/alternative parts
|
|
|
|
Many emails are sent with redundant content within a
|
|
multipart/alternative group (such as a text/plain part as well as a
|
|
text/html part). Users can configure the setting:
|
|
|
|
Notmuch Show All Multipart/Alternative Parts
|
|
|
|
to "off" in the notmuch customize group to have the interface
|
|
automatically hide some part alternatives (such as text/html
|
|
parts). This new part hiding is not configured by default yet
|
|
because there's not yet a simple way to re-display such a hidden
|
|
part if it is not actually redundant with a displayed part.
|
|
|
|
Better rendering of text/x-vcalendar parts
|
|
|
|
These parts are now displayed in a format suitable for use with the
|
|
emacs diary.
|
|
|
|
Avoid getting confused by Subject and Author fields with newline characters
|
|
|
|
Replacing all characters with ASCII code less than 32 with a question mark.
|
|
|
|
Cleaner display of From line in email messages
|
|
|
|
Remove double quotes, and drop "name" if it's actually just a repeat of
|
|
the email address.
|
|
|
|
Vim interface improvements
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface:
|
|
|
|
* Using sendmail directly rather than mailx,
|
|
* Implementing archive in show view
|
|
* Add support to mark as read in show and search views
|
|
* Add delete commands
|
|
* Various cleanups.
|
|
|
|
Bindings improvements
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Ruby bindings are now much more complete
|
|
|
|
Including `QUERY.sort`, `QUERY.to_s`, `MESSAGE.maildir_flags_to_tags`,
|
|
`MESSAGE.tags_to_maildir_flags`, and `MESSAGE.get_filenames`
|
|
|
|
Python bindings have been updated and extended
|
|
|
|
(docs online at https://notmuch.readthedocs.io/)
|
|
|
|
New bindings:
|
|
|
|
- `Message().get_filenames()`, `Message().tags_to_maildir_flags()`,
|
|
`Message().maildir_flags_to_tags()`, `list(Threads())` and
|
|
`list(Messages)` works now
|
|
- `Message().__cmp__()` and `__hash__()`
|
|
|
|
These allow, for example:
|
|
|
|
if msg1 == msg2: ...
|
|
|
|
As well as set arithmetic on `Messages()`:
|
|
|
|
s1, s2 = set(msgs1), set(msgs2)
|
|
s1.union(s2)
|
|
s2 -= s1
|
|
|
|
Removed:
|
|
|
|
- `len(Messages())` as it exhausted the iterator
|
|
|
|
Use `len(list(Messages()))` or `Query.count_messages()`
|
|
to get the length.
|
|
|
|
Added initial Go bindings in bindings/go
|
|
|
|
New build-system features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Added support for building in a directory other than the source directory
|
|
|
|
This can be used with the widely-supported idiom of simply running
|
|
the configure script from some other directory:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
../configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Fix to save configure options for future, implicit runs of configure
|
|
|
|
When a user updates the source (such as with "git pull") calling
|
|
"make" may cause an automatic re-run of the configure script. When
|
|
this happens, the configure script will automatically be called with
|
|
the same options the user originally passed in the most-recent
|
|
manual invocation of configure.
|
|
|
|
New test-suite feature
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Binary for bash for running test suite now located via PATH
|
|
|
|
The notmuch test suite requires a fairly recent version of bash (>=
|
|
bash 4). As some systems supply an older version of bash at
|
|
/bin/bash, the test suite is now updated to search $PATH to locate
|
|
the bash binary. This allows users of systems with old /bin/bash to
|
|
simply install bash >= 4 somewhere on $PATH before /bin and then use
|
|
the test suite.
|
|
|
|
Support for testing output with a trailing newline
|
|
|
|
Previously, some tests would fail to notice a difference in the
|
|
presence/absence of a trailing newline in a program output, (which
|
|
has led to bugs in the past). Now, carefully-written tests (using
|
|
`test_expect_equal_file` rather than `test_expect_equal`) will detect
|
|
any change in the presence/absence of a trailing newline. Many tests
|
|
are updated to take advantage of this.
|
|
|
|
Avoiding accessing user's $HOME while running test suite
|
|
|
|
The test suite now carefully creates its own HOME directory. This
|
|
allows the test suite to be run with no existing HOME directory, (as
|
|
some build systems apparently do), and avoids test-suite differences
|
|
due to configuration files in the users HOME directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General bug fixes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Output *all* files for "notmuch search --output=files"
|
|
|
|
For the cases where multiple files have the same Message ID,
|
|
previous versions of notmuch would output only one such file. This
|
|
command is now fixed to correctly output all files.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spurious search results from "overlapped" indexing of addresses
|
|
|
|
This fixed a bug where a search for:
|
|
|
|
to:user@elsewhere.com
|
|
|
|
would incorrectly match a message sent:
|
|
|
|
To: user@example,com, someone@elsewhere.com
|
|
|
|
Fix --output=json when search has no results
|
|
|
|
A bug present since notmuch 0.4 had caused searches with no results
|
|
to produce an invalid json object. This is now fixed to cleanly
|
|
return a valid json object representing an empty array "[]" as
|
|
expected.
|
|
|
|
Fix the automatic detection of the From address for "notmuch reply"
|
|
from the Received headers in some cases
|
|
|
|
Fix core dump on DragonFlyBSD due to -1 return value from
|
|
`sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX)`
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up several memory leaks
|
|
|
|
Eliminated a few, rare segmentation faults and a double-free
|
|
|
|
Fix libnotmuch library to only export notmuch API functions
|
|
|
|
Previous release of the notmuch library also exported some Xapian
|
|
C++ exception type symbols. These were never part of the library
|
|
interface and were never intended to be exported.
|
|
|
|
Emacs-interface bug fixes
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Display any unexpected output or errors from "notmuch search" invocations
|
|
|
|
Previously any misformatted output or trailing error messages were
|
|
silently ignored. This output is now clearly displayed. This fix was
|
|
very helpful in identifying and fixing the bug described below.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug where some threads would be missing from large search results
|
|
|
|
When a search returned a "large" number of results, the emacs
|
|
interface was incorrectly dropping one thread every time the output
|
|
of the "notmuch search" process spanned the emacs read-buffer. This
|
|
is now fixed.
|
|
|
|
Avoid re-compression of .gz files (and similar) when saving attachment
|
|
|
|
Emacs was being too clever for its own good and trying to
|
|
re-compress pre-compressed .gz files when saving such attachments
|
|
(potentially corrupting the attachment). The emacs interface is
|
|
fixed to avoid this bug.
|
|
|
|
Fix hiding of a message when a previously-hidden citation is visible
|
|
|
|
Previously the citation would remain visible in this case. This is
|
|
fixed so that hiding a message hides all parts.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.5 (2010-11-11)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
New, general features
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Maildir-flag synchronization
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now knows how to synchronize flags in maildir filenames with
|
|
tags in the notmuch database. The following flag/tag mappings are
|
|
supported:
|
|
|
|
Flag <-> Tag
|
|
---- -----
|
|
'D' draft
|
|
'F' flagged
|
|
'P' passed
|
|
'R' replied
|
|
'S' unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
|
|
|
|
The synchronization occurs in both directions, (for example, adding
|
|
the 'S' flag to a file will cause the "unread" tag to be added, and
|
|
adding the "replied" tag to a message will cause the file to be
|
|
renamed with an 'R' flag).
|
|
|
|
This synchronization is enabled by default for users of the
|
|
command-line interface, (though only files in directories named
|
|
"cur" or "new" will be renamed). It can be disabled by setting the
|
|
new `maildir.synchronize_flags` option in the configuration file. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false
|
|
|
|
Users upgrading may also want to run "notmuch setup" once (just
|
|
accept the existing configuration) to get a new, nicely-commented
|
|
[maildir] section added to the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
For users of the notmuch library, the new synchronization
|
|
functionality is available with the following two new functions:
|
|
|
|
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
|
|
notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
|
|
|
|
It is anticipated that future improvements to this support will
|
|
allow for safe synchronization of the 'T' flag with the "deleted"
|
|
tag, as well as support for custom flag/tag mappings.
|
|
|
|
New library features
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message
|
|
|
|
It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the
|
|
same message ID. Previously, notmuch would always hide these
|
|
duplicate files, (returning a single, arbitrary filename with
|
|
`notmuch_message_get_filename`).
|
|
|
|
With this release, library users can access all filenames for a
|
|
message with the new function:
|
|
|
|
notmuch_message_get_filenames
|
|
|
|
Together with `notmuch_filenames_valid`, `notmuch_filenames_get`,
|
|
and `notmuch_filenames_move_to_next` it is now possible to iterate
|
|
over all available filenames for a given message.
|
|
|
|
New command-line features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
New "notmuch show --format=raw" for getting at original email contents
|
|
|
|
This new feature allows for a fully-functional email client to be
|
|
built on top of the notmuch command-line without needing any direct
|
|
access to the mail store itself.
|
|
|
|
For example, it's now possible to run "emacs -f notmuch" on a local
|
|
machine with only ssh access to the mail store/notmuch database. To
|
|
do this, simply set the notmuch-command variable in emacs to the
|
|
name of a script containing:
|
|
|
|
ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
|
|
|
|
If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster
|
|
option in OpenSSH), the emacs interface can be quite responsive this
|
|
way.
|
|
|
|
General bug fixes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Fix "notmuch search" to print nothing when nothing matches
|
|
|
|
The 0.4 release had a bug in which:
|
|
|
|
notmuch search <expression-with-no-matches>
|
|
|
|
would produce a single blank line of output, (where previous
|
|
versions would produce no output. This fix also causes a change in
|
|
the --format=json output, (which would previously produce "[]" and
|
|
now produces nothing).
|
|
|
|
Emacs interface improvements
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix to allow pipe ('|') command to work when using notmuch over ssh
|
|
|
|
Fix count of lines in hidden signatures
|
|
|
|
Omit repeated subject lines in (collapsed) thread display
|
|
|
|
Display current thread subject in a header line
|
|
|
|
Provide a "c i" binding to copy a thread ID from the search view
|
|
|
|
Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil
|
|
|
|
Also, the more complex form of notmuch-fcc-dirs now has a slightly
|
|
different format. It no longer has a special first-element, fallback
|
|
string. Instead it's now a list of cons cells where the car of each
|
|
cell is a regular expression to be matched against the sender
|
|
address, and the cdr is the name of a folder to use for an FCC. So
|
|
the old fallback behavior can be achieved by including a final cell
|
|
of (".*" . "default-fcc-folder").
|
|
|
|
Vim interface improvements
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface
|
|
|
|
These include optimizations, support for newer versions of vim, fixed
|
|
support for sending mail on modern systems, new commands, and
|
|
various cleanups.
|
|
|
|
New bindings
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Added initial ruby bindings in bindings/ruby
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.4 (2010-11-01)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
New command-line features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
`notmuch search --output=(summary|threads|messages|tags|files)`
|
|
|
|
This new option allows for particular items to be returned from
|
|
notmuch searches. The "summary" option is the default and behaves
|
|
just as "notmuch search" has historically behaved.
|
|
|
|
The new option values allow for thread IDs, message IDs, lists of
|
|
tags, and lists of filenames to be returned from searches. It is
|
|
expected that this new option will be very useful in shell
|
|
scripts. For example:
|
|
|
|
for file in $(notmuch search --output=files <search-terms>); do
|
|
<operations-on> "$file"
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
`notmuch show --format=mbox <search-specification>`
|
|
|
|
This new option allows for the messages matching a search
|
|
specification to be presented as an mbox. Specifically the "mboxrd"
|
|
format is used which allows for reversible quoting of lines
|
|
beginning with "From ". A reader should remove a single '>' from the
|
|
beginning of all lines beginning with one or more '>' characters
|
|
followed by the 5 characters "From ".
|
|
|
|
`notmuch config [get|set] <section>.<item> [value ...]`
|
|
|
|
The new top-level "config" command allows for any value in the
|
|
notmuch configuration file to be queried or set to a new value. Both
|
|
single-valued and multi-valued items are supported, as our any
|
|
custom items stored in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Avoid setting Bcc header in "notmuch reply"
|
|
|
|
We decided that this was a bit heavy-handed as the actual mail
|
|
user-agent should be responsible for setting any Bcc option. Also,
|
|
see below for the notmuch/emacs user-agent now setting an Fcc by
|
|
default rather than Bcc.
|
|
|
|
New library features
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Add `notmuch_query_get_query_string` and `notmuch_query_get_sort`
|
|
|
|
These are simply functions for querying properties of a
|
|
`notmuch_query_t` object.
|
|
|
|
New emacs features
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Enable Fcc of all sent messages by default (to "sent" directory)
|
|
|
|
All messages sent from the emacs interface will now be saved to the
|
|
notmuch mail store where they will be incorporated to the database
|
|
by the next "notmuch new". By default, messages are saved to the
|
|
"sent" directory at the top-level of the mail store. This directory
|
|
can be customized by means of the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" option in the
|
|
notmuch customize interface.
|
|
|
|
Ability to all open messages in a thread to a pipe
|
|
|
|
Historically, the '|' keybinding allows for piping a single message
|
|
to an external command. Now, by prefixing this key with a prefix
|
|
argument, (for example, by pressing "Control-U |"), all open
|
|
messages in the current thread will be sent to the external command.
|
|
|
|
Optional support for detecting inline patches
|
|
|
|
This hook is disabled by default but can be enabled with a checkbox
|
|
under "Notmuch Show Insert Text/Plain Hook" in the notmuch customize
|
|
interface. It allows for inline patches to be detected and treated
|
|
as if they were attachments, (with context-sensitive highlighting).
|
|
|
|
Automatically tag messages as "replied" when sending a reply
|
|
|
|
Messages replied to within the emacs interface will now be tagged as
|
|
"replied". This feature can easily be customized to add or remove
|
|
other tags as well. For example, a user might use a tag of
|
|
"needs-reply" and can configure this feature to automatically remove
|
|
that tag when replying. See "Notmuch Message Mark Replied" in the
|
|
notmuch customize interface.
|
|
|
|
Allow search-result color specifications to overlay each other
|
|
|
|
For example, one tag can specify the background color of matching
|
|
lines, while another can specify the foreground. With this change,
|
|
both settings will now be visible simultaneously, (which was not the
|
|
case in previous releases). See "Notmuch Search Line Faces" in the
|
|
notmuch customize interface.
|
|
|
|
Make hidden author names still available for incremental search
|
|
|
|
When there is insufficient space to display all authors of a thread
|
|
in search results, the names of hidden authors are now still made
|
|
available to emacs' incremental search commands. As the user
|
|
searches, matching lines will temporarily expand to show the hidden
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
New binding of Control-TAB (works like TAB in reverse)
|
|
|
|
Many notmuch nodes already use TAB to navigate forward through
|
|
various items allowing actions, (message headers, email attachments,
|
|
etc.). The new Control-TAB binding operates similarly but in the
|
|
opposite direction.
|
|
|
|
New build-system features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Various portability fixes have been applied
|
|
|
|
These include fixes for build failures on at least Solaris, FreeBSD,
|
|
and Fedora systems. We're hopeful that the notmuch code base is now
|
|
more portable than ever before.
|
|
|
|
Arrange for libnotmuch to be found automatically after make install
|
|
|
|
The notmuch build system is now careful to help the user avoid
|
|
errors of the form "libnotmuch.so could not be found" immediately
|
|
after installing. This support takes two forms:
|
|
|
|
1. If the library is installed to a system directory,
|
|
(configured in /etc/ld.so.conf), then "make install" will
|
|
automatically run ldconfig.
|
|
|
|
2. If the library is installed to a non-system directory, the
|
|
build system adds a `DR_RUNPATH` entry to the final binary
|
|
pointing to the directory to which the library is installed.
|
|
|
|
When this support works, the user should be able to run notmuch
|
|
immediately after "make install", without any errors trying to find
|
|
the notmuch library, and without having to manually set environment
|
|
variables such as `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
|
|
|
|
Check compiler/linker options before using them
|
|
|
|
The configure script now carefully checks that any desired
|
|
compilation options, (whether for enabling compiler warnings, or for
|
|
embedding rpath, etc.), are supported. Only supported options are
|
|
used in the resulting Makefile.
|
|
|
|
New test-suite features
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
New modularization of test suite
|
|
|
|
Thanks to a gracious relicensing of the test-suite infrastructure
|
|
from the git project, notmuch now has a modular test suite. This
|
|
provides the ability to run individual sections of the test suite
|
|
rather than the whole things. It also provides better summary of
|
|
test results, with support for tests that are expected to fail
|
|
(BROKEN and FIXED) in addition to PASS and FAIL. Finally, it makes
|
|
it easy to run the test suite within valgrind (pass --valgrind to
|
|
notmuch-test or to any sub-script) which has been very useful.
|
|
|
|
New testing of emacs interface
|
|
|
|
The test suite has been augmented to allow automated testing of the
|
|
emacs interfaces. So far, this includes basic searches, display of
|
|
threads, and tag manipulation. This also includes a test that a new
|
|
message can successfully be sent out through a (dummy) SMTP server
|
|
and that said message is successfully integrated into the notmuch
|
|
database via the FCC setting.
|
|
|
|
General bug fixes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Fix potential corruption of database when "notmuch new" is interrupted
|
|
|
|
Previously, an interruption of "notmuch new" would (rarely) result
|
|
in a corrupt database. The corruption would manifest itself by a
|
|
persistent error of the form:
|
|
|
|
document ID of 1234 has no thread ID
|
|
|
|
The message-adding code has been carefully audited and reworked to
|
|
avoid this sort of corruption regardless of when it is interrupted.
|
|
|
|
Fix failure with extremely long message ID headers
|
|
|
|
Previously, a message with an extremely long message ID, (say, more
|
|
than 300 characters), would fail to be added to notmuch, (triggering
|
|
Xapian exceptions). This has now been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Fix for messages with "charset=unknown-8bit"
|
|
|
|
Previously, messages with this charset would cause notmuch to emit a
|
|
GMime warning, (which would then trip up emacs or other interfaces
|
|
parsing the notmuch results).
|
|
|
|
Fix `notmuch_query_search_threads` function to return NULL on any exception
|
|
|
|
Fix "notmuch search" to return non-zero if `notmuch_query_search_threads`
|
|
fails
|
|
|
|
Previously, this command could confusingly report a Xapian
|
|
exception, yet still return an error code of 0. It now correctly
|
|
returns a failing error code of 1 in this case.
|
|
|
|
Emacs bug fixes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix to handle a message with a subject containing, for example "[1234]"
|
|
|
|
Previously, a message subject containing a sequence of digits within
|
|
square brackets would cause the emacs interface to mis-parse the
|
|
output of "notmuch search". This would result in the message being
|
|
mis-displayed and prevent the user from manipulating the message in
|
|
the emacs interface.
|
|
|
|
Fix to correctly handle message IDs containing ".."
|
|
|
|
The emacs interface now properly quotes message IDs to avoid a
|
|
Xapian bug in which the ".." within a message ID would be
|
|
misinterpreted as a numeric range specification.
|
|
|
|
Python-binding fixes
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The python bindings for notmuch have been updated to work with python3.
|
|
|
|
Debian-specific fixes
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix emacs initialization so "M-x notmuch" works for users by default
|
|
|
|
Now, a new Debian user can immediately run "emacs -f notmuch" after
|
|
"apt-get install notmuch". Previously, the user would have had to
|
|
edit the ~/.emacs file to add "(require 'notmuch)" before this would
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.3.1 (2010-04-27)
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
General bug fixes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Fix an infinite loop in "notmuch reply"
|
|
|
|
This bug could be triggered by replying to a message where the
|
|
user's primary email address did not appear in the To: header and
|
|
the user had not configured any secondary email addresses. The bug
|
|
was a simple re-use of the same iterator variable in nested loops.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential SEGV in "notmuch search"
|
|
|
|
This bug could be triggered by an author name ending in a ','.
|
|
Admittedly - that's almost certainly a spam email, but we never
|
|
want notmuch to crash.
|
|
|
|
Emacs bug fixes
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Fix calculations for line wrapping in the primary "notmuch" view
|
|
|
|
Fix Fcc support to prompt to create a directory if the specified Fcc
|
|
directory does not exist
|
|
|
|
Build fix
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Fix build on OpenSolaris (at least) due to missing 'extern "C"' block
|
|
|
|
Without this, the C++ sources could not find strcasestr and the
|
|
final linking of notmuch would fail.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.3 (2010-04-27)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
New command-line features
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
User-configurable tags for new messages
|
|
|
|
A new "new.tags" option is available in the configuration file to
|
|
determine which tags are applied to new messages. Run "notmuch
|
|
setup" to generate new documentation within ~/.notmuch-config on how
|
|
to specify this value.
|
|
|
|
Threads search results named based on subjects that match search
|
|
|
|
This means that when new mails arrived to a thread you've previously
|
|
read, and the new mails have a new subject, you will see that
|
|
subject in the search results rather than the old subject.
|
|
|
|
Faster operation of "notmuch tag" (avoid unneeded sorting)
|
|
|
|
Since the user just wants to tag all matching messages, we can make
|
|
things perform a bit faster by avoiding the sort.
|
|
|
|
Even Better guessing of From: header for "notmuch reply"
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now looks at a number of headers when trying to figure out
|
|
the best From: header to use in a reply. This is helpful if you have
|
|
several configured email addresses, and you also subscribe to various
|
|
mailing lists with different addresses, (so that mails you are
|
|
replying to won't always include your subscribed address in the To:
|
|
header).
|
|
|
|
Indication of author names that match a search
|
|
|
|
When notmuch displays threads as the result of a search, it now
|
|
lists the authors that match the search before listing the other
|
|
authors in the thread. It inserts a pipe '|' symbol between the last
|
|
matching and first non-matching author. This is especially useful in
|
|
a search that includes tag:unread. Now the authors of the unread
|
|
messages in the thread are listed first.
|
|
|
|
New: Python bindings
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Sebastian Spaeth has contributed his python bindings for the notmuch
|
|
library to the central repository. These bindings were previously
|
|
known as "cnotmuch" within python but have now been renamed to be
|
|
accessible with a simple, and more official-looking "import notmuch".
|
|
|
|
The bindings have already proven very useful as people proficient in
|
|
python have been able to easily develop programs to do notmuch-based
|
|
searches for email-address completion, maildir-flag synchronization,
|
|
and other tasks.
|
|
|
|
These bindings are available within the bindings/python directory, but
|
|
are not yet integrated into the top-level Makefiles, nor the top-level
|
|
package-building scripts. Improvements are welcome.
|
|
|
|
Emacs interface improvements
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
An entirely new initial view for notmuch, (friendly yet powerful)
|
|
|
|
Some of us call the new view "notmuch hello" but you can get at it
|
|
by simply calling "emacs -f notmuch". The new view provides a search
|
|
bar where new searches can be performed. It also displays a list of
|
|
recent searches, along with a button to save any of these, giving it
|
|
a new name as a "saved search". Many people find these "saved
|
|
searches" one of the most convenient ways of organizing their mail,
|
|
(providing all of the features of "folders" in other mail clients,
|
|
but without any of the disadvantages).
|
|
|
|
Finally, this view can also optionally display all of the tags that
|
|
exist in the database, along with a count for each tag, and a custom
|
|
search of messages with that tag that's simply a click (or keypress)
|
|
away.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: For users that liked the original mode of "emacs -f notmuch"
|
|
immediately displaying a particular search result, we recommend
|
|
instead running something like:
|
|
|
|
emacs --eval '(notmuch search "tag:inbox" t)'
|
|
|
|
The "t" means to sort the messages in an "oldest first" order,
|
|
(as notmuch would do previously by default). You can also
|
|
leave that off to have your search results in "newest first"
|
|
order.
|
|
|
|
Full-featured "customize" support for configuring notmuch
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now plugs in well to the emacs "customize" mode to make it
|
|
much simpler to find things about the notmuch interface that can be
|
|
tweaked by the user.
|
|
|
|
You can get to this mode by starting at the main "Customize" menu in
|
|
emacs, then browsing through "Applications", "Mail", and
|
|
"Notmuch". Or you can go straight to "M-x customize-group"
|
|
"notmuch".
|
|
|
|
Once you're at the customize screen, you'll see a list of documented
|
|
options that can be manipulated along with checkboxes, drop-down
|
|
selectors, and text-entry boxes for configuring the various
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
Support for doing tab-completion of email addresses
|
|
|
|
This support currently relies on an external program,
|
|
(notmuch-addresses), that is not yet shipped with notmuch
|
|
itself. But multiple, suitable implementations of this program have
|
|
already been written that generate address completions by doing
|
|
notmuch searches of your email collection. For example, providing
|
|
first those addresses that you have composed messages to in the
|
|
past, etc.
|
|
|
|
One such program (implemented in python with the python bindings to
|
|
notmuch) is available via:
|
|
|
|
git clone http://jkr.acm.jhu.edu/git/notmuch_addresses.git
|
|
|
|
Install that program as notmuch-addresses on your PATH, and then
|
|
hitting TAB on a partial email address or name within the To: or Cc:
|
|
line of an email message will provide matching completions.
|
|
|
|
Support for file-based (Fcc) delivery of sent messages to mail store
|
|
|
|
This isn't yet enabled by default. To enable this, one will have to
|
|
set the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" setting within the notmuch customize
|
|
screen, (see its documentation there for details). We anticipate
|
|
making this automatic in a future release.
|
|
|
|
New 'G' key binding to trigger mail refresh (G == "Get new mail")
|
|
|
|
The 'G' key works wherever '=' works. Before refreshing the screen
|
|
it calls an external program that can be used to poll email servers,
|
|
run notmuch new and set up specific tags for the new emails. The
|
|
script to be called should be configured with the "Notmuch Poll
|
|
Script" setting in the customize interface. This script will
|
|
typically invoke "notmuch new" and then perhaps several "notmuch
|
|
tag" commands.
|
|
|
|
Implement emacs message display with the JSON output from notmuch
|
|
|
|
This is much more robust than the previous implementation, (where
|
|
some HTML mails and mail quoting the notmuch code with the delimiter
|
|
characters in it would cause the parser to fall over).
|
|
|
|
Better handling of HTML messages and MIME attachments (inline images!)
|
|
|
|
Allow for any MIME parts that emacs can display to be displayed
|
|
inline. This includes inline viewing of image attachments, (provided
|
|
the window is large enough to fit the image at its natural size).
|
|
|
|
Much more robust handling of HTML messages. Currently both text/plain
|
|
and text/html alternates will be rendered next to each other. In a
|
|
future release, users will be able to decide to see only one or the
|
|
other representation.
|
|
|
|
Each attachment now has its own button so that attachments can be
|
|
saved individually (the 'w' key is still available to save all
|
|
attachments).
|
|
|
|
Customizable support for tidying of text/plain message content
|
|
|
|
Many new functions are available for tidying up message
|
|
content. These include options such as wrapping long lines,
|
|
compressing duplicate blank lines, etc.
|
|
|
|
Most of these are disabled by default, but can easily be enabled by
|
|
clicking the available check boxes under the "Notmuch Show Insert
|
|
Text/Plain Hook" within the notmuch customize screen.
|
|
|
|
New support for searchable citations (even when hidden)
|
|
|
|
When portions of overly-long citations are hidden, the contents of
|
|
these citations will still be available for emacs' standard
|
|
"incremental search" functions. When the search matches any portion
|
|
of a hidden citation, the citation will become visible temporarily
|
|
to display the search result.
|
|
|
|
More flexible handling of header visibility
|
|
|
|
As an answer to complaints from many users, the To, Cc, and Date
|
|
headers of messages are no longer hidden by default. For those users
|
|
that liked that these were hidden, a new "Notmuch Messages Headers
|
|
Visible" option in the customize interface can be set to nil. The
|
|
visibility of headers can still be toggled on a per-message basis
|
|
with the 'h' keybinding.
|
|
|
|
For users that don't want to see some subset of those headers, the
|
|
new "Notmuch Message Headers" variable can be customized to list
|
|
only those headers that should be present in the display of a message.
|
|
|
|
The Return key now toggles message visibility anywhere
|
|
|
|
Previously this worked only on the first summary-line of a message.
|
|
|
|
Customizable formatting of search results
|
|
|
|
The user can easily customize the order, width, and formatting of
|
|
the various fields in a "notmuch search" buffer. See the "Notmuch
|
|
Search Result Format" section of the customize interface.
|
|
|
|
Generate nicer names for search buffers when using a saved search
|
|
|
|
Add a notmuch User-Agent header when sending mail from notmuch/emacs
|
|
|
|
New keybinding (M-Ret) to open all collapsed messages in a thread
|
|
|
|
New library feature
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Provide a new `NOTMUCH_SORT_UNSORTED` value for queries
|
|
|
|
This can be somewhat faster when sorting simply isn't desired. For
|
|
example when collecting a set of messages that will all be
|
|
manipulated identically, (adding a tag, removing a tag, deleting the
|
|
messages), then there's no advantage to sorting the messages by
|
|
date.
|
|
|
|
Build fixes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Fix to compile against GMime 2.6
|
|
|
|
Previously notmuch insisted on being able to find GMime 2.4, (even
|
|
though GMime 2.6 would have worked all along).
|
|
|
|
Fix configure script to accept (and ignore) various standard options
|
|
|
|
For example, those that the Gentoo build scripts expect configure to
|
|
accept are now all accepted.
|
|
|
|
Test suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
A large number of new tests for the many new features
|
|
|
|
Better display of output from failed tests
|
|
|
|
Now shows failures with diff rather than forcing the user to gaze at
|
|
complete actual and expected output looking for deviation.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.2 (2010-04-16)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This is the second release of the notmuch mail system, with actual
|
|
detailed release notes this time!
|
|
|
|
This release consists of a number of minor new features that make
|
|
notmuch more pleasant to use, and a few fairly major bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
We didn't quite hit our release target of "about a week" from the 0.1
|
|
release, (0.2 is happening 11 days after 0.1), but we hope to do
|
|
better for next week. Look forward to some major features coming to
|
|
notmuch in subsequent releases.
|

|
|
General features
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Better guessing of From: header
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
|
|
used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
|
|
Received: headers if it fails to find any configured address in To:
|
|
or Cc:. This allows it to often choose the correct address even when
|
|
replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
|
|
configured address.
|
|
|
|
Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages
|
|
|
|
Previously, it was hard to construct a search term that was
|
|
guaranteed to match all messages.
|
|
|
|
Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages
|
|
|
|
This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
|
|
"notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
|
|
shell doesn't expand * against the current files. And note that the
|
|
support for "*" is a special case. It's only meaningful as a single
|
|
search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
|
|
other search terms.
|
|
|
|
Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message is
|
|
missing
|
|
|
|
Previously, if two or more message were received with a common
|
|
parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
|
|
not be recognized as belonging to the same thread. This is now fixed
|
|
so that such messages are properly connected in a thread.
|
|
|
|
General bug fixes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT
|
|
|
|
One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
|
|
SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
|
|
the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
|
|
Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.
|
|
|
|
Fix segfault when a message includes a MIME part that is empty
|
|
|
|
Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json
|
|
|
|
Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were
|
|
silently dropped from the JSON output. This led to corrupted display
|
|
of utf-8 content in the upcoming notmuch web-based frontends.
|
|
|
|
Fix headers to be properly decoded in "notmuch reply"
|
|
|
|
Previously, the user might see:
|
|
|
|
Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=
|
|
|
|
rather than:
|
|
|
|
Subject: Re: Rozlučka
|
|
|
|
The former text is properly encoded to be RFC-compliant SMTP, will
|
|
be sent correctly, and will be properly decoded by the
|
|
recipient. But the user trying to edit the reply would likely be
|
|
unable to read or edit that field in its encoded form.
|
|
|
|
Emacs client features
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines
|
|
|
|
It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
|
|
being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
|
|
important. The number of lines shown at the beginning and end of any
|
|
citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and
|
|
notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).
|
|
|
|
The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
|
|
tags by region
|
|
|
|
Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of
|
|
threads and then using either the '+' or '-' keybindings. Bulk
|
|
tagging is still available for all threads matching the current
|
|
search with the '*' binding.
|
|
|
|
More meaningful buffer names for thread-view buffers
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now uses the Subject of the thread as the buffer
|
|
name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
|
|
number to the user.
|
|
|
|
Provide for customized colors of threads in search view based on tags
|
|
|
|
See the documentation of notmuch-search-line-faces, (or us "M-x
|
|
customize" and browse to the "notmuch" group within "Applications"
|
|
and "Mail"), for details on how to configure this colorization.
|
|
|
|
Build-system features
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Add support to properly build libnotmuch on Darwin systems (OS X)
|
|
|
|
Add support to configure for many standard options
|
|
|
|
We include actual support for:
|
|
|
|
--includedir --mandir --sysconfdir
|
|
|
|
And accept and silently ignore several more:
|
|
|
|
--build --infodir --libexecdir --localstatedir
|
|
--disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking
|
|
|
|
Install emacs client in "make install" rather than requiring a
|
|
separate "make install-emacs"
|
|
|
|
Automatically compute versions numbers between releases
|
|
|
|
This support uses the git-describe notation, so a version such as
|
|
0.1-144-g43cbbfc indicates a version that is 144 commits since the
|
|
0.1 release and is available as git commit "43cbbfc".
|
|
|
|
Add a new "make test" target to run the test suite and actually
|
|
verify its results
|
|
|
|
Notmuch 0.1 (2010-04-05)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This is the first release of the notmuch mail system.
|
|
|
|
It includes the libnotmuch library, the notmuch command-line
|
|
interface, and an emacs-based interface to notmuch.
|
|

Note: Notmuch will work best with Xapian 1.0.18 (or later) or Xapian
|
|
1.1.4 (or later). Previous versions of Xapian (whether 1.0 or 1.1) had
|
|
a performance bug that made notmuch very slow when modifying
|
|
tags. This would cause distracting pauses when reading mail while
|
|
notmuch would wait for Xapian when removing the "inbox" and "unread"
|
|
tags from messages in a thread.
