+New emacs features
+------------------
+Add a new, optional hook 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
+
+ This feature adds a "replied" tag by default, but 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.
+
+Emacs mail improvements
+-----------------------
+
+Easier way to define a fcc directory
+
+ In the common case that a user only has one FCC (save outgoing mail
+ in the Mail directory, it is now possible to simply configure a
+ string such as "Sent" in the notmuch-fcc-dirs variable. More complex
+ options, depending on a users email address, are possible and
+ described in the variable customization help text.
+
+Notmuch 0.3.1 (2010-04-27)
+==========================
+General bug fixes
+-----------------
+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
+ was a simple re-use of the same iterator variable in nested loops.
+
+Fix a potential SEGV in "notmuch search"
+
+ This bug could be triggered by an author name ending in a ','.
+ Admittedly - that's almost certainly a spam email, but we never
+ want notmuch to crash.
+
+Emacs bug fixes
+---------------
+Fix calculations for line wrapping in the primary "notmuch" view.
+
+Fix Fcc support to prompt to create a directory if the specified Fcc
+directory does not exist.
+
+Build fix
+---------
+Fix build on OpenSolaris (at least) due to missing 'extern "C"' block.
+
+ Without this, the C++ sources could not find strcasestr and the
+ final linking of notmuch would fail.
+
+Notmuch 0.3 (2010-04-27)
+========================
+New command-line features
+-------------------------
+User-configurable tags for new messages
+
+ A new "new.tags" option is available in the configuration file to
+ determine which tags are applied to new messages. Run "notmuch
+ setup" to generate new documentation within ~/.notmuch-config on how
+ to specify this value.
+
+Threads search results named based on subjects that match search
+
+ This means that when new mails arrived to a thread you've previously
+ read, and the new mails have a new subject, you will see that
+ subject in the search results rather than the old subject.
+
+Faster operation of "notmuch tag" (avoid unneeded sorting)
+
+ Since the user just wants to tag all matching messages, we can make
+ things perform a bit faster by avoiding the sort.
+
+Even Better guessing of From: header for "notmuch reply"
+
+ Notmuch now looks at a number of headers when trying to figure out
+ 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
+--------------------
+Sebastian Spaeth has contributed his python bindings for the notmuch
+library to the central repository. These bindings were previously
+known as "cnotmuch" within python but have now been renamed to be
+accessible with a simple, and more official-looking "import notmuch".
+
+The bindings have already proven very useful as people proficient in
+python have been able to easily develop programs to do notmuch-based
+searches for email-address completion, maildir-flag synchronization,
+and other tasks.
+
+These bindings are available within the bindings/python directory, but
+are not yet integrated into the top-level Makefiles, nor the top-level
+package-building scripts. Improvements are welcome.
+
+Emacs interface improvements
+----------------------------
+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).
+
+ Finally, this view can also optionally display all of the tags that
+ exist in the database, along with a count for each tag, and a custom
+ search of messages with that tag that's simply a click (or keypress)
+ away.
+
+ Note: For users that liked the original mode of "emacs -f notmuch"
+ immediately displaying a particular search result, we
+ recommend instead running something like:
+
+ emacs --eval '(notmuch search "tag:inbox" t)'
+
+ The "t" means to sort the messages in an "oldest first" order,
+ (as notmuch would do previously by default). You can also
+ leave that off to have your search results in "newest first"
+ order.
+
+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.
+
+ You can get to this mode by starting at the main "Customize" menu in
+ emacs, then browsing through "Applications", "Mail", and
+ "Notmuch". Or you can go straight to "M-x customize-group"
+ "notmuch".
+
+ Once you're at the customize screen, you'll see a list of documented
+ options that can be manipulated along with checkboxes, drop-down
+ selectors, and text-entry boxes for configuring the various
+ settings.
+
+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.
+
+ One such program (implemented in python with the python bindings to
+ notmuch) is available via:
+
+ git clone http://jkr.acm.jhu.edu/git/notmuch_addresses.git
+
+ Install that program as notmuch-addresses on your PATH, and then
+ hitting TAB on a partial email address or name within the To: or Cc:
+ line of an email message will provide matching completions.
+
+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.
+
+Implement emacs message display with the JSON output from notmuch.
+
+ This is much more robust than the previous implementation, (where
+ some HTML mails and mail quoting the notmuch code with the delimiter
+ 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).
+
+ Much more robust handling of HTML messages. Currently both text/plain
+ and text/html alternates will be rendered next to each other. In a
+ future release, users will be able to decide to see only one or the
+ other representation.
+
+ Each attachment now has its own button so that attachments can be
+ saved individually (the 'w' key is still available to save all
+ attachments).
+
+Customizable support for tidying of text/plain message content
+
+ Many new functions are available for tidying up message
+ content. These include options such as wrapping long lines,
+ compressing duplicate blank lines, etc.
+
+ Most of these are disabled by default, but can easily be enabled by
+ clicking the available check boxes under the "Notmuch Show Insert
+ Text/Plain Hook" within the notmuch customize screen.
+
+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.
+
+ For users that don't want to see some subset of those headers, the
+ new "Notmuch Message Headers" variable can be customized to list
+ only those headers that should be present in the display of a message.
+
+The Return key now toggles message visibility anywhere
+
+ Previously this worked only on the first summary-line of a message.
+
+Customizable formatting of search results
+
+ The user can easily customize the order, width, and formatting of
+ the various fields in a "notmuch search" buffer. See the "Notmuch
+ Search Result Format" section of the customize interface.
+
+Generate nicer names for search buffers when using a saved search.
+
+Add a notmuch User-Agent header when sending mail from notmuch/emacs.
+
+New keybinding (M-Ret) to open all collapsed messages in a thread.
+
+New library feature
+-------------------
+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.
+
+Build fixes
+-----------
+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).
+
+Fix configure script to accept (and ignore) various standard options.
+
+ For example, those that the gentoo build scripts expect configure to
+ accept are now all accepted.
+
+Test suite
+----------
+A large number of new tests for the many new features.
+
+Better display of output from failed tests.
+
+ Now shows failures with diff rather than forcing the user to gaze at
+ complete actual and expected output looking for deviation.
+
+Notmuch 0.2 (2010-04-16)
+========================
+This is the second release of the notmuch mail system, with actual
+detailed release notes this time!
+
+This release consists of a number of minor new features that make
+notmuch more pleasant to use, and a few fairly major bug fixes.
+
+We didn't quite hit our release target of "about a week" from the 0.1
+release, (0.2 is happening 11 days after 0.1), but we hope to do
+better for next week. Look forward to some major features coming to
+notmuch in subsequent releases.
+
+-Carl
+
+General features
+----------------
+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
+ replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
+ configured address.
+
+Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages
+
+ Previously, it was hard to construct a search term that was
+ guaranteed to match all messages.
+
+Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages.
+
+ This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
+ "notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
+ 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.
+
+Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message is
+missing.
+
+ Previously, if two or more message were received with a common
+ parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
+ not be recognized as belonging to the same thread. This is now fixed
+ so that such messages are properly connected in a thread.
+
+General bug fixes
+-----------------
+Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT
+
+ One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
+ SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
+ the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
+ Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.
+
+Fix segfault when a message includes a MIME part that is empty.
+
+Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json
+
+ Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were
+ silently dropped from the JSON output. This led to corrupted display
+ of utf-8 content in the upcoming notmuch web-based frontends.
+
+Fix headers to be properly decoded in "notmuch reply"
+
+ Previously, the user might see:
+
+ Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=
+
+ rather than:
+
+ Subject: Re: Rozlučka
+
+ The former text is properly encoded to be RFC-compliant SMTP, will
+ be sent correctly, and will be properly decoded by the
+ recipient. But the user trying to edit the reply would likely be
+ unable to read or edit that field in its encoded form.
+
+Emacs client features
+---------------------
+Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines.
+
+ 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
+ notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).
+
+The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
+tags by region.
+
+ Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of
+ threads and then using either the '+' or '-' keybindings. Bulk
+ tagging is still available for all threads matching the current
+ search with th '*' binding.
+
+More meaningful buffer names for thread-view buffers.
+
+ Notmuch now uses the Subject of the thread as the buffer
+ name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
+ number to the user.
+
+Provide for customized colors of threads in search view based on tags.
+
+ See the documentation of notmuch-search-line-faces, (or us "M-x
+ customize" and browse to the "notmuch" group within "Applications"
+ and "Mail"), for details on how to configure this colorization.
+
+Build-system features
+---------------------
+Add support to properly build libnotmuch on Darwin systems (OS X).
+
+Add support to configure for many standard options.
+
+ We include actual support for:
+
+ --includedir --mandir --sysconfdir
+
+ And accept and silently ignore several more:
+
+ --build --infodir --libexecdir --localstatedir
+ --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking
+
+Install emacs client in "make install" rather than requiring a
+separate "make install-emacs".
+
+Automatically compute versions numbers between releases.
+
+ This support uses the git-describe notation, so a version such as
+ 0.1-144-g43cbbfc indicates a version that is 144 commits since the
+ 0.1 release and is available as git commit "43cbbfc".
+
+Add a new "make test" target to run the test suite and actually verify
+its results.
+
