lib: add function to get the number of threads matching a search

2011-11-15T23:12:32Z

Add function notmuch_query_count_threads() to get the number of threads matching a search. This is done by performing a search and figuring out the number of unique thread IDs in the matching messages, a significantly heavier operation than notmuch_query_count_messages().

Store "from" and "subject" headers in the database.

2011-11-14T21:10:58Z

This is a rebase and cleanup of Istvan Marko's patch from id:m3pqnj2j7a.fsf@zsu.kismala.com Search retrieves these headers for every message in the search results. Previously, this required opening and parsing every message file. Storing them directly in the database significantly reduces IO and computation, speeding up search by between 50% and 10X. Taking full advantage of this requires a database rebuild, but it will fall back to the old behavior for messages that do not have headers stored in the database.

Link libutil using filenmae, rather than using -l.

2011-11-13T18:58:21Z

glibc includes a libutil, so if the wrong -L options get passed, we will pick up glibc's version, rather than our own.

lib/database.cc: use flush Xapian method instead of commit

2011-11-02T23:38:22Z

Apparently the method was renamed in Xapian 1.1.0 but the old method name will stay around for a while. It seems better to stick with the old name to make notmuch compile with older versions of Xapian, at least for now.

xutil.c: remove duplicate copies, create new library libutil.a to contain xutil.

2011-10-31T02:09:49Z

We keep the lib/xutil.c version. As a consequence, also factor out _internal_error and associated macros. It might be overkill to make a new file error_util.c for this, but _internal_error does not really belong in database.cc.

Prefix lib/notmuch.h and lib/gen-version-script.sh with $(srcdir)

2011-10-25T00:56:23Z

lib/notmuch.h and lib/gen-version-script.sh couldn't have been found when building out of sources directory.

lib: bump SONAME

2011-10-04T16:47:04Z

Based on discussions with amdragon, tschwinge, and others on IRC, I concluded that 1) symbol versioning was probably overkill for libnotmuch 2) It was also probably GNU ld specific 3) Most importantly, nobody could tell me on short notice how exactly it works. So since the change to the notmuch_database_find_message breaks the previous ABI, we need to bump the SONAME.

lib: make find_message{,by_filename) report errors

2011-10-04T04:55:29Z

Previously, the functions notmuch_database_find_message() and notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename() functions did not properly report error condition to the library user. For more information, read the thread on the notmuch mailing list starting with my mail "id:871uv2unfd.fsf@gmail.com" Make these functions accept a pointer to 'notmuch_message_t' as argument and return notmuch_status_t which may be used to check for any error condition. restore: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message() new: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename()

lib: destroy message object after message removal

2011-10-04T04:39:57Z

notmuch_database_remove_message() must call notmuch_message_destroy() once it is done handling message removal.

lib: bump library minor version because of new symbols.

2011-09-24T23:26:42Z

This bump is because of the new symbols introduced by the atomicity patches.
