update versions for release candidate

2011-09-07T01:55:01Z

we now have three files to keep in sync. That seems wrong, but I guess we will live with it for now. The main problem is that the python code is distributed separately, so it can't get the version from 'version'. The choice ~rcX is for convenience with debian versioning.

python: Make Database take unicode paths

2011-09-05T13:52:12Z

Decode and Encode from/to unicode objects as required to be able to take unicode path names. Previously we would error out when an unicode object were handed it. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Have setup.py read the version number without importing

2011-08-24T07:13:34Z

Importing the notmuch module in setup.py is a no-no, and we want to auto-generate the version number in the release process. Outsource __VERSION__ to the new version.py which contains nothing else and which can therefor easily be autogenerated. Have setup.py read in the file via execfile and test if importing the version number actually worked. This should make all happy. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Updated development status and wording in setup.py

2011-08-24T07:01:50Z

We are beyond pre-alpha, and the Requirements wording could take some tweaking. Done. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

Revert "python: Simplify setup.py"

2011-08-24T06:54:58Z

This reverts commit 8826fc2d7b4e59afdd8cea06891a0c43245340c5. It seems that importing the module in setup.py is controversial at best, as it will fail for users that don't have all dependencies installed. This was the case in e.g. the Ubuntu autobuilder, so building notmuch failed. The plan is to create an autogenerated setup.py that can be used for version information.

python: Simplify setup.py

2011-08-23T07:30:49Z

We were using a template setup.py which parsed __init__.py in complex ways just to find out the version number. Simply import notmuch and use __VERSION__ directly. Also adapt some wording and setup.py values while going through. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Fix unsafe utf-8 decodings

2011-08-17T12:44:45Z

This prevents unsafe calls to decode for return value None in get_authors/get_subject which would current throw an Exception. Original patch modified by Sebastian Spaeth. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

decode headers from utf-8 to unicode

2011-08-15T13:48:50Z

as mail headers are stored as utf-8 in the index, it is safe to return them as unicode strings directly

python: remove Tags().len() implementation

2011-08-09T15:48:27Z

len() exhausts the tag iterator and e.g. list() or "".join(tags) implicitly call len() if existing and then failing. So, we remove Tags.__len__(). If you need to know the number of tags a message has, do use len(list(tags)). It would be nicer to be able to support len() directly... Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth
