48 This is the second release of the notmuch mail system, with actual
\r
49 detailed release notes this time!
\r
51 This release consists of a number of minor new features that make
\r
52 notmuch more pleasant to use, and a few fairly major bug fixes.
\r
54 We didn't quite hit our release target of "about a week" from the 0.1
\r
55 release, (0.2 is happening 11 days after 0.1), but we hope to do
\r
56 better for next week. Look forward to some major features coming to
\r
57 notmuch in subsequent releases.
\r
61 Where to obtain notmuch 0.2

74 What's new in notmuch 0.2
\r
75 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
\r
78 Better guessing of From: header.
\r
80 Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
\r
81 used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
\r
82 Received: headers if it fails to find any configured address in To:
\r
83 or Cc:. This allows it to often choose the correct address even when
\r
84 replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
\r
87 Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages
\r
89 Previously, it was hard to construct a search term that was
\r
90 guaranteed to match all messages.
\r
92 Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages.
\r
94 This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
\r
95 "notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
\r
96 shell doesn't expand * against the current files. And note that the
\r
97 support for "*" is a special case. It's only meaningful as a single
\r
98 search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
\r
101 Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message is
\r
104 Previously, if two or more message were received with a common
\r
105 parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
\r
106 not be recognized as belonging to the same thread. This is now fixed
\r
107 so that such messages are properly connected in a thread.
\r
110 =2D----------------
\r
111 Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT
\r
113 One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
\r
114 SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
\r
115 the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
\r
116 Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.
\r
118 Fix segfault when a message includes a MIME part that is empty.
\r
120 Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=3Djson
\r
122 Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were
\r
123 silently dropped from the JSON output. This led to corrupted display
\r
124 of utf-8 content in the upcoming notmuch web-based frontends.
\r
126 Fix headers to be properly decoded in "notmuch reply"
\r
128 Previously, the user might see:
\r
130 Subject: Re: =3D?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=3DE8ka?=3D
\r
134 Subject: Re: Rozlu=C4=8Dka
\r
136 The former text is properly encoded to be RFC-compliant SMTP, will
\r
137 be sent correctly, and will be properly decoded by the
\r
138 recipient. But the user trying to edit the reply would likely be
\r
139 unable to read or edit that field in its encoded form.
\r
141 Emacs client features
\r
142 =2D--------------------
\r
143 Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines.
\r
145 It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
\r
146 being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
\r
147 important. The number of lines shown at the beginning and end of any
\r
148 citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and
\r
149 notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).
\r
151 The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
\r
154 Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of
\r
155 threads and then using either the '+' or '-' keybindings. Bulk
\r
156 tagging is still available for all threads matching the current
\r
157 search with th '*' binding.
\r
159 More meaningful buffer names for thread-view buffers.
\r
161 Notmuch now uses the Subject of the thread as the buffer
\r
162 name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
\r
163 number to the user.
\r
165 Provide for customized colors of threads in search view based on tags.
\r
167 See the documentation of notmuch-search-line-faces, (or us "M-x
\r
168 customize" and browse to the "notmuch" group within "Applications"
\r
169 and "Mail"), for details on how to configure this colorization.
\r
171 Build-system features
\r
172 =2D--------------------
\r
173 Add support to properly build libnotmuch on Darwin systems (OS X).
\r
175 Add support to configure for many standard options.
\r
177 We include actual support for:
\r
179 --includedir --mandir --sysconfdir
\r
181 And accept and silently ignore several more:
\r
183 --build --infodir --libexecdir --localstatedir
\r
184 --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking
\r
186 Install emacs client in "make install" rather than requiring a
\r
187 separate "make install-emacs".
\r
189 Automatically compute versions numbers between releases.
\r
191 This support uses the git-describe notation, so a version such as
\r
192 0.1-144-g43cbbfc indicates a version that is 144 commits since the
\r
193 0.1 release and is available as git commit "43cbbfc".
\r
195 Add a new "make test" target to run the test suite and actually verify
\r
199 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
\r
200 Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging
\r
201 large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses
\r
202 the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient
