### 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.

### Search avoids opening and parsing message files
- We now store more information in the database so search no longer
- has to open every message file to get basic headers. This can
- improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this
- requires a database rebuild:

### nmbug - share tags with a given prefix
- nmbug helps maintain a git repo containing all tags with a given
- prefix (by default "notmuch::"). Tags can be shared by commiting
- them to git in one location and restoring in another.

### Fix error handling in python bindings
- The python bindings in 0.11 failed to detect NULL pointers being
- returned from libnotmuch functions and thus failed to raise
- exceptions to indicate the error condition. Any subsequent calls
- into libnotmuch caused segmentation faults.

### Quote MML tags in replies
- MML tags are text codes that Emacs uses to indicate attachments
- (among other things) in messages being composed. The Emacs
- interface did not quote MML tags in the quoted text of a reply.
- User could be tricked into replying to a maliciously formatted
- message and not editing out the MML tags from the quoted text. This
- could lead to files from the user's machine being attached to the
- outgoing message. The Emacs interface now quotes these tags in
- reply text, so that they do not effect outgoing messages.

- supports `pre-new` and `post-new` hooks that are run before and after
- importing new messages into the database.

### Compatibility with GMime 2.6
- It is now possible to build notmuch against both GMime 2.4 and 2.6.
- However, a bug in GMime 2.6 before 2.6.5 causes notmuch not to
- report signatures where the signer key is unavailable (GNOME bug
- 668085). For compatibility with GMime 2.4's tolerance of "From "
- headers we require GMime 2.6 >= 2.6.7.

### Better guessing of From: header
- Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
- used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
- Received: headers if it fails to find any configured address in To:
- or Cc:. This allows it to often choose the correct address even when

- configured address.

- shell doesn't expand * against the current files. And note that the
- support for "*" is a special case. It's only meaningful as a single
- search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
- other search terms.

- parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
- not be recognized as belonging to the same thread. This is now fixed

### Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json
- Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were

- It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
- being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
- important. The number of lines shown at the beginning and end of any
- citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and

### Fix an infinite loop in "notmuch reply"
- This bug could be triggered by replying to a message where the
- user's primary email address did not appear in the To: header and
- the user had not configured any secondary email addresses. The bug

+the best From: header to use in a reply. This is helpful if you have
+several configured email addresses, and you also subscribe to various
+mailing lists with different addresses, (so that mails you are
+replying to won't always include your subscribed address in the To:
+header).
### Indication of author names that match a search
- When notmuch displays threads as the result of a search, it now
- lists the authors that match the search before listing the other
- authors in the thread. It inserts a pipe '|' symbol between the last
- matching and first non-matching author. This is especially useful in
- a search that includes tag:unread. Now the authors of the unread
- messages in the thread are listed first.

New: Python bindings
--------------------
### An entirely new initial view for notmuch, (friendly yet powerful)
- Some of us call the new view "notmuch hello" but you can get at it
- by simply calling "emacs -f notmuch". The new view provides a search
- bar where new searches can be performed. It also displays a list of
- recent searches, along with a button to save any of these, giving it
- a new name as a "saved search". Many people find these "saved
- searches" one of the most convenient ways of organizing their mail,
- (providing all of the features of "folders" in other mail clients,
- but without any of the disadvantages).

### Full-featured "customize" support for configuring notmuch
- Notmuch now plugs in well to the emacs "customize" mode to make it
- much simpler to find things about the notmuch interface that can be
- tweaked by the user.

### Support for doing tab-completion of email addresses
- This support currently relies on an external program,
- (notmuch-addresses), that is not yet shipped with notmuch
- itself. But multiple, suitable implementations of this program have
- already been written that generate address completions by doing
- notmuch searches of your email collection. For example, providing
- first those addresses that you have composed messages to in the
- past, etc.

### Support for file-based (Fcc) delivery of sent messages to mail store
- This isn't yet enabled by default. To enable this, one will have to
- set the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" setting within the notmuch customize
- screen, (see its documentation there for details). We anticipate
- making this automatic in a future release.

### New 'G' key binding to trigger mail refresh (G == "Get new mail")
- The 'G' key works wherever '=' works. Before refreshing the screen
- it calls an external program that can be used to poll email servers,
- run notmuch new and setup specific tags for the new emails. The
- script to be called should be configured with the "Notmuch Poll
- Script" setting in the customize interface. This script will
- typically invoke "notmuch new" and then perhaps several "notmuch
- tag" commands.

- characters in it would cause the parser to fall over).

### Better handling of HTML messages and MIME attachments (inline images!)
- Allow for any MIME parts that emacs can display to be displayed
- inline. This includes inline viewing of image attachments, (provided
- the window is large enough to fit the image at its natural size).

### New support for searchable citations (even when hidden)
- When portions of overly-long citations are hidden, the contents of
- these citations will still be available for emacs' standard
- "incremental search" functions. When the search matches any portion
- of a hidden citation, the citation will become visible temporarily
- to display the search result.

### More flexible handling of header visibility
- As an answer to complaints from many users, the To, Cc, and Date
- headers of messages are no longer hidden by default. For those users
- that liked that these were hidden, a new "Notmuch Messages Headers
- Visible" option in the customize interface can be set to nil. The
- visibility of headers can still be toggled on a per-message basis
- with the 'h' keybinding.

### Generate nicer names for search buffers when using a saved search
### Provide a new `NOTMUCH_SORT_UNSORTED` value for queries
- This can be somewhat faster when sorting simply isn't desired. For
- example when collecting a set of messages that will all be
- manipulated identically, (adding a tag, removing a tag, deleting the
- messages), then there's no advantage to sorting the messages by
- date.

### Fix to compile against GMime 2.6
- Previously notmuch insisted on being able to find GMime 2.4, (even
- though GMime 2.6 would have worked all along).

### `notmuch search --output=(summary|threads|messages|tags|files)`
- This new option allows for particular items to be returned from
- notmuch searches. The "summary" option is the default and behaves
- just as "notmuch search" has historically behaved.
+This new option allows for particular items to be returned from

- expected that this new option will be very useful in shell
- scripts. For example:

### `notmuch show --format=mbox <search-specification>`
- This new option allows for the messages matching a search
- specification to be presented as an mbox. Specifically the "mboxrd"
- format is used which allows for reversible quoting of lines
- beginning with "From ". A reader should remove a single '>' from the
- beginning of all lines beginning with one or more '>' characters
- followed by the 5 characters "From ".

### `notmuch config [get|set] <section>.<item> [value ...]`
- The new top-level "config" command allows for any value in the
- notmuch configuration file to be queried or set to a new value. Both
- single-valued and multi-valued items are supported, as our any

### Avoid setting Bcc header in "notmuch reply"
- We decided that this was a bit heavy-handed as the actual mail
- user-agent should be responsible for setting any Bcc option. Also,
- see below for the notmuch/emacs user-agent now setting an Fcc by
- default rather than Bcc.

New library features
--------------------

New emacs features
------------------
### Enable Fcc of all sent messages by default (to "sent" directory)
- All messages sent from the emacs interface will now be saved to the
- notmuch mail store where they will be incorporated to the database
- by the next "notmuch new". By default, messages are saved to the
- "sent" directory at the top-level of the mail store. This directory
- can be customized by means of the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" option in the

### Ability to all open messages in a thread to a pipe
- Historically, the '|' keybinding allows for piping a single message
- to an external command. Now, by prefixing this key with a prefix
- argument, (for example, by pressing "Control-U |"), all open
- messages in the current thread will be sent to the external command.

### Optional support for detecting inline patches
- This hook is disabled by default but can be enabled with a checkbox
- under "Notmuch Show Insert Text/Plain Hook" in the notmuch customize
- interface. It allows for inline patches to be detected and treated
- as if they were attachments, (with context-sensitive highlighting).

### Automatically tag messages as "replied" when sending a reply
- Messages replied to within the emacs interface will now be tagged as
- "replied". This feature can easily be customized to add or remove
- other tags as well. For example, a user might use a tag of
- "needs-reply" and can configure this feature to automatically remove
- that tag when replying. See "Notmuch Message Mark Replied" in the
- notmuch customize interface.

+notmuch customize interface.
### Allow search-result color specifications to overlay each other
- For example, one tag can specify the background color of matching
- lines, while another can specify the foreground. With this change,
- both settings will now be visible simultaneously, (which was not the
- case in previous releases). See "Notmuch Search Line Faces" in the
- notmuch customize interface.

### Make hidden author names still available for incremental search
- When there is insufficient space to display all authors of a thread
- in search results, the names of hidden authors are now still made
- available to emacs' incremental search commands. As the user
- searches, matching lines will temporarily expand to show the hidden
- names.

### New binding of Control-TAB (works like TAB in reverse)
- Many notmuch nodes already use TAB to navigate forward through
- various items allowing actions, (message headers, email attachments,
- etc.). The new Control-TAB binding operates similarly but in the
- opposite direction.

New build-system features
-------------------------
### Various portability fixes have been applied
- These include fixes for build failures on at least Solaris, FreeBSD,
- and Fedora systems. We're hopeful that the notmuch code base is now
- more portable than ever before.

New test-suite features
-----------------------
### New modularization of test suite
- Thanks to a gracious relicensing of the test-suite infrastructure
- from the git project, notmuch now has a modular test suite. This
- provides the ability to run individual sections of the test suite
- rather than the whole things. It also provides better summary of
- test results, with support for tests that are expected to fail
- (BROKEN and FIXED) in addition to PASS and FAIL. Finally, it makes
- it easy to run the test suite within valgrind (pass --valgrind to
- notmuch-test or to any sub-script) which has been very useful.

- The test suite has been augmented to allow automated testing of the
- emacs interfaces. So far, this includes basic searches, display of
- threads, and tag manipulation. This also includes a test that a new
- message can successfully be sent out through a (dummy) SMTP server
- and that said message is successfully integrated into the notmuch
- database via the FCC setting.

Emacs bug fixes
---------------
### Fix to handle a message with a subject containing, for example "[1234]"
- Previously, a message subject containing a sequence of digits within
- square brackets would cause the emacs interface to mis-parse the
- output of "notmuch search". This would result in the message being
- mis-displayed and prevent the user from manipulating the message in
- the emacs interface.

### Fix to correctly handle message IDs containing ".."
- The emacs interface now properly quotes message IDs to avoid a
- Xapian bug in which the ".." within a message ID would be
- misinterpreted as a numeric range specification.

--------------------
### Fix emacs initialization so "M-x notmuch" works for users by default
- Now, a new Debian user can immediately run "emacs -f notmuch" after
- "apt-get install notmuch". Previously, the user would have had to
- edit the ~/.emacs file to add "(require 'notmuch)" before this would
- work.

New library features
--------------------
### Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message
- It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the
- same message ID. Previously, notmuch would always hide these
- duplicate files, (returning a single, arbitrary filename with
- `notmuch_message_get_filename`).

New command-line features
-------------------------
### New "notmuch show --format=raw" for getting at original email contents

Emacs interface improvements
----------------------------
### Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil
- Also, the more complex form of notmuch-fcc-dirs now has a slightly
- different format. It no longer has a special first-element, fallback
- string. Instead it's now a list of cons cells where the car of each
- cell is a regular expression to be matched against the sender
- address, and the cdr is the name of a folder to use for an FCC. So
- the old fallback behavior can be achieved by including a final cell
- of (".*" . "default-fcc-folder").

### Deprecate "notmuch search-tags" (in favor of "notmuch search --output=tags *")
- The "notmuch search-tags" sub-command has been redundant since the
- addition of the --output=tags option to "notmuch search". We now
- make that more clear by deprecating "notmuch search-tags", (dropping
- it from the documentation). We do continue to support the old syntax
- by translating it internally to the new call.

New test-suite feature
----------------------
### Binary for bash for running test suite now located via PATH

- bash 4). As some systems supply an older version of bash at
- /bin/bash, the test suite is now updated to search $PATH to locate
- the bash binary. This allows users of systems with old /bin/bash to
- simply install bash >= 4 somewhere on $PATH before /bin and then use
- the test suite.

- Previously, some tests would fail to notice a difference in the
- presence/absence of a trailing newline in a program output, (which
- has led to bugs in the past). Now, carefully-written tests (using
- `test_expect_equal_file` rather than `test_expect_equal`) will detect

- The test suite now carefully creates its own HOME directory. This
- allows the test suite to be run with no existing HOME directory, (as
