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. + +What is notmuch +=============== +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. + +For more about notmuch, see http://notmuchmail.org + + +--=-=-= +Content-Type: application/pgp-signature + +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v1 + +iQGcBAEBCAAGBQJTaJlfAAoJEPIClx2kp54sI3AL/02OOVzIHYO75gkk0IPNrzw0 +Tt6mzcMTzeyKuCtTKUvelL5gOXgUpDLZm0IjkKcX2j6azdTqlT1c1xK+6vAqEeOO +T4ad61qUuGGodzkXtjKzsi+wiiIlxlRAUcIRYmMeRrIdL7Q28HTd58erTfM++mN6 +ft4go7RrAVpKbhhpNQ+WnQR0BVFLlp31OJxqCWo3SlujCiqWEMellYFbuqT08q1p +NO2wn+3zDcbkzQ2ZWyIVtt2Ooyk8S/uho7Dy3cVqUqisaqc6/7h4U8DiaNMM49ci +lgxEiAjrJrDbESh8vDQc/DMuIF+uFAVhL6svbJZyf9mvKehkx29YbhndGKHqKDWJ +A8X3WmQc2u64fW5sgR9cvVes8faLhLA7ogr+z5hmatnUAbnK6Df8O4lHcBNo3V7R +xrBuMXNswE7F/WSVHtMxi6vRpGFieE7oak6Y9IhbGkgPZx+ZsnaBqpbc55yHAo3W +M0ZRwWpi+AnKWR/a2TdGz/siPnaP01hIR39oyePo+w== +=Pjpq +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- +--=-=-=--
