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 (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 0.21 (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.
and tonnerre.
Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging
large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses
the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient
search syntax.
