Even Better guessing of From: header.
|
|
|
|
Notmuch now looks at a number of headers when trying to figure out
|
|
the best From: header to use in a reply. First it checks whether one
|
|
of the user's emails is in To: or Cc:, then it checks Envelope-To:
|
|
and X-Original-To: headers, then it analyses the Received headers
|
|
checking for a Received: by .. from .. for user@add.res clause. And
|
|
finally it matches domains in the received path.
|
|
|
|
Visualization 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.
|
|
|
|
Provide 'G' key binding to trigger mail refresh
|
|
|
|
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 setup specific tags for the new emails. The
|
|
script to be called can be customized with. Use the customize screen
|
|
to set the notmuch-poll-script variable to the program that you want
|
|
to execute when pressing 'G'. Note that this is synchronous - emacs
|
|
will wait until this program finishes.

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 th '*' 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.
