This means that dtach is now +needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for +prerequisites is improved. + +New command-line features +------------------------- + +Add "notmuch restore --accumulate" option + + The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be + applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from + the dump file. + +Add search terms to "notmuch dump" + + The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch + search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in + favour of using stdout. + +Add "notmuch search" --offset and --limit options + + The search command now takes options --offset=[-]N and --limit=N to limit + the number of results shown. + +Add "notmuch count --output" option + + The count command is now capable of counting threads in addition to + messages.
