50 So, I said I was being foolhardy when I said I wanted to have 0.5 come
\r
51 just a week after 0.4. And, indeed, we missed that. But considering this
\r
52 release is only 10 days after 0.4, (where it was 6 months(!) after 0.3),
\r
53 I think we did pretty well.
\r
55 The major feature in notmuch 0.5 is the ability to automatically
\r
56 synchronize maildir flags, (so that if a mail file gets marked
\r
57 externally with the flag 'S' for "seen" then the "unread" tag in the
\r
58 notmuch database will be automatically removed). And of course, there
\r
59 are various fixes and improvements throughout. See below for details.
\r
61 And we'll see what another week will bring.
\r
63 Many thanks to those who contributed code to this release, (Ali Polatel,
\r
64 Carl Worth, David Edmondson, Felipe Contreras, Jameson Rollins,
\r
65 Michal Sojka, and Scott Henson), and to the many more that contributed
\r
66 with ideas, testing and feedback.

83 What's new in notmuch 0.5
\r
84 =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
85 New, general features
\r
86 =2D--------------------
\r
87 Maildir-flag synchronization
\r
89 Notmuch now knows how to synchronize flags in maildir filenames with
\r
90 tags in the notmuch database. The following flag/tag mappings are
\r
99 'S' unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
\r
101 The synchronization occurs in both directions, (for example, adding
\r
102 the 'S' flag to a file will cause the "unread" tag to be added, and
\r
103 adding the "replied" tag to a message will cause the file to be
\r
104 renamed with an 'R' flag).
\r
106 This synchronization is enabled by default for users of the
\r
107 command-line interface, (though only files in directories named
\r
108 "cur" or "new" will be renamed). It can be disabled by setting the
\r
109 new maildir.synchronize_flags option in the configuration file. For
\r
112 notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false
\r
114 Users upgrading may also want to run "notmuch setup" once (just
\r
115 accept the existing configuration) to get a new, nicely-commented
\r
116 [maildir] section added to the configuration file.
\r
118 For users of the notmuch library, the new synchronization
\r
119 functionality is available with the following two new functions:
\r
121 notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
\r
122 notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
\r
124 It is anticipated that future improvements to this support will
\r
125 allow for safe synchronization of the 'T' flag with the "deleted"
\r
126 tag, as well as support for custom flag/tag mappings.
\r
128 New library features
\r
129 =2D-------------------
\r
130 Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message
\r
132 It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the
\r
133 same message ID. Previously, notmuch would always hide these
\r
134 duplicate files, (returning a single, arbitrary filename with
\r
135 notmuch_message_get_filename).
\r
137 With this release, library users can access all filenames for a
\r
138 message with the new function:
\r
140 notmuch_message_get_filenames
\r
142 Together with notmuch_filenames_valid, notmuch_filenames_get, and
\r
143 notmuch_filenames_move_to_next it is now possible to iterate over
\r
144 all available filenames for a given message.
\r
146 New command-line features
\r
147 =2D------------------------
\r
148 New "notmuch show --format=3Draw" for getting at original email contents
\r
150 This new feature allows for a fully-functional email client to be
\r
151 built on top of the notmuch command-line without needing any direct
\r
152 access to the mail store itself.
\r
154 For example, it's now possible to run "emacs -f notmuch" on a local
\r
155 machine with only ssh access to the mail store/notmuch database. To
\r
156 do this, simply set the notmuch-command variable in emacs to the
\r
157 name of a script containing:
\r
159 ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
\r
161 If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster
\r
162 option in OpenSSH), the emacs interface can be quite responsive this
\r
166 =2D----------------
\r
167 Fix "notmuch search" to print nothing when nothing matches
\r
169 The 0.4 release had a bug in which:
\r
171 notmuch search <expression-with-no-matches>
\r
173 would produce a single blank line of output, (where previous
\r
174 versions would produce no output. This fix also causes a change in
\r
175 the --format=3Djson output, (which would previously produce "[]" and
\r
176 now produces nothing).
\r
178 Emacs interface improvements
\r
179 =2D---------------------------
\r
180 Fix to allow pipe ('|') command to work when using notmuch over ssh
\r
182 Fix count of lines in hidden signatures.
\r
184 Omit repeated subject lines in (collapsed) thread display.
\r
186 Display current thread subject in a header line.
\r
188 Provide a "c i" binding to copy a thread ID from the search view.
\r
190 Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil.
\r
192 Also, the more complex form of notmuch-fcc-dirs now has a slightly
\r
193 different format. It no longer has a special first-element, fallback
\r
194 string. Instead it's now a list of cons cells where the car of each
\r
195 cell is a regular expression to be matched against the sender
\r
196 address, and the cdr is the name of a folder to use for an FCC. So
\r
197 the old fallback behavior can be achieved by including a fineal cell
\r
198 of (".*" . "default-fcc-folder").
\r
200 Vim interface improvements
\r
201 =2D-------------------------
\r
202 Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface.
\r
204 These include optimiations, support for newer versions of vim, fixed
\r
205 support for sending mail on modern systmms, new commands, and
\r
210 Added initial ruby bindings in bindings/ruby
\r
213 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
\r
214 Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging
\r
215 large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses
\r
216 the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient
