-Notmuch 0.20 (UNRELEASED)
+Notmuch 0.24 (UNRELEASED)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+Regular expression searches supported for `from:` and `subject:`.
+
+ This requires recent Xapian (1.4+) See notmuch-search-terms(7) for
+ details.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Postpone and resume messages in `notmuch-message-mode` (composition)
+
+ Notmuch now has built in support for postponing, saving and resuming
+ messages. The default bindings are C-x C-s to save a draft, C-c C-p
+ to postpone a draft (save and exit compose buffer), and "e" in show
+ or tree view to resume.
+
+ Draft messages are tagged with `notmuch-draft-tags` (draft by
+ default) so you may wish to add that to the excluded tags list. When
+ saving a previously saved draft message the earlier draft gets
+ tagged deleted.
+
+ Note that attachments added before postponing will be included as
+ they were when you postponed in the final message.
+
+Address Completion
+
+ It is now possible to save the list of address completions for
+ notmuch's internal completion between runs of emacs. This makes the
+ first calls to address completion much better and faster. For
+ privacy reasons it is disabled by default, to enable set or
+ customize `notmuch-address-save-filename`.
+
+Tag jump menu
+
+ It is now possible to configure tagging shortcuts (with an interface
+ like notmuch jump). For example (by default) k u will remove the
+ unread tag, and k s will add a tag "spam" and remove the inbox
+ tag. Pressing k twice will do the reverse operation so, for example,
+ k k s removes the spam tag and adds the inbox tag. See the customize
+ variable `notmuch-tagging-keys` for more information.
+
+Refresh all buffers
+
+ It is now possible to refresh all notmuch buffers to reflect the
+ current state of the database with a single command, `M-=`.
+
+Stop display of application/* parts
+
+ By default gnus displays all application/* parts such as
+ application/zip in the message buffer. This has several undesirable
+ effects for notmuch (security, triggering errors etc). Notmuch now
+ overrides this and does not display them by default. If you have
+ customized `mm-inline-override-types` then we assume you know what
+ you want and do not interfere; if you do want to stop the display of
+ application/* add application/* to your customization. If you want
+ to allow application/* then set `mm-inline-override-types` to
+ "non/existent".
+
+Small change in the api for notmuch-search-tag
+
+ When `notmuch-search-tag` is called non-interactively and the region
+ is set, then it only tags the threads in the region. (Previously it
+ only tagged the current thread.)
+
+Bugfix for sending messages with very long headers.
+
+ Previously emacs didn't fold very long headers when sending which
+ could cause the MTA to refuse to send the message. This makes sure
+ it does fold any long headers so the message is RFC compliant.
+
+Library changes
+---------------
+
+`notmuch_query_count_messages` is now non-destructive.
+
+ Internally the implementation of excludes has changed to make this
+ possible.
+
+Improved handling of DatabaseModifiedError
+
+ Previously uncaught exceptions reading message metadata are now
+ handled.
+
+Notmuch 0.23.7 (2017-02-28)
+===========================
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Drop use of gpgconf --create-socketdir. Move $GNUPGHOME to /tmp.
+
+ It turns out the hardcoded use of /run/user in gpg doesn't work out
+ that well in some environments. The more low tech fix is to move all
+ of $GNUPGHOME to somewhere where we can control the length of the
+ paths.
+
+Notmuch 0.23.6 (2017-02-27)
+===========================
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Fix read-after-free bug in `notmuch new`.
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Use gpgconf --create-socketdir if available.
+
+ GnuPG has a facility to use sockets in /run or /var/run to avoid
+ problems with long socket paths, but this is not enabled by default
+ for GNUPGHOME other than $HOME/.gnupg. Enable it, if possible.
+
+Notmuch 0.23.5 (2017-01-09)
+===========================
+
+Build system
+------------
+
+Fix quoting bug in configure. This had introduced a RUNPATH into the
+notmuch binary in cases where it was not not needed.
+
+Notmuch 0.23.4 (2016-12-24)
+===========================
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Improve error handling in notmuch insert
+
+ Database lock errors no longer prevent message file delivery to the
+ filesystem. Certain errors during `notmuch insert` most likely to
+ be temporary return EX_TEMPFAIL.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Restore autoload cookie for notmuch-search.
+
+Notmuch 0.23.3 (2016-11-27)
+===========================
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Treat disappearing files during notmuch new as non-fatal.
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Fix incompatibility (related to signature size) with gnupg 2.1.16.
+
+Notmuch 0.23.2 (2016-11-20)
+===========================
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Fix notmuch-interesting-buffer and notmuch-cycle-notmuch-buffers.
+
+ notmuch-tree-mode and notmuch-message-mode buffers are now
+ considered interesting by `notmuch-interesting-buffer` and
+ `notmuch-cycle-notmuch-buffers`.
+
+Restore compatibility with Emacs 23.
+
+ Notmuch support for Emacs 23 is now deprecated.
+
+Notmuch 0.23.1 (2016-10-23)
+===========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+Require Xapian >= 1.2.6
+
+ The ifdef branch for older Xapian (pre-compact API) had bit-rotted.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Fix default colours for unread and flagged messages
+
+ In 0.23 the default colours for unread and flagged messages in
+ search view were accidentally swapped. This release returns them to
+ the original colours.
+
+ A related change in 0.23 broke the customize widget for
+ notmuch-search-line-faces. This is now fixed.
+
+Fix test failure with Emacs 25.1
+
+ A previously undiscovered jit-lock related bug was exposed by Emacs
+ 25, causing a notmuch-show mode test to fail. This release fixes the
+ bug, and hence the test.
+
+Notmuch 0.23 (2016-10-03)
+=========================
+
+General (Xapian 1.4+)
+---------------------
+
+Compiling against Xapian 1.4 enables several new features.
+
+Support for single argument date: queries
+
+ `date:<expr>` is equivalent to `date:<expr>..<expr>`.
+
+Support for blocking opens
+
+ When opening a database notmuch by default will wait for another
+ process to release a write lock, rather than returning an error.
+
+Support for named queries
+
+ Named queries (also known as 'saved searches') can be defined with a
+ `query:name` format. The expansion of these queries is stored in the
+ database and they can be used from any notmuch client.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+Message property API
+
+ libnotmuch now supports the attachment of arbitrary key-value pairs
+ to messages. These can be used by various tools to manage their
+ private data without polluting the user tag space. They also support
+ iteration of values with the same key or same key prefix.
+
+Bug fix for `notmuch_directory_set_mtime`
+
+ Update cached mtime to match on-disk mtime.
+
+CLI
+---
+
+Support for compile time options
+
+ A group of `built_with` keys is now supported for notmuch
+ config. Initial keys in this group are `compact`, `field_processor`,
+ and `retry_lock`.
+
+Dump/Restore support for configuration information and properties
+
+ Any configuration information stored in the database (initially just
+ named queries) is dumped and restored. Similarly any properties
+ attached to messages are also dumped and restored. Any new
+ information in the dump format is prefixed by '#' to allow existing
+ scripts to ignore it.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Make notmuch-message-mode use insert for fcc
+
+ Notmuch-message-mode now defaults to using notmuch insert for
+ fcc. The old file based fcc behaviour can be restored by setting the
+ defcustom `notmuch-maildir-use-notmuch-insert` to nil.
+
+ When using notmuch insert, `notmuch-fcc-dirs` must be a subdirectory
+ of the mailstore (absolute paths are not permitted) followed by any
+ tag changes to be applied to the inserted message. The tag changes
+ are applied after the default tagging for new messages. For example
+ setting the header to "sentmail -inbox +sent" would insert the
+ message in the subdirectory sentmail of the mailstore, add the tag
+ "sent", and not add the (normally added) "inbox" tag.
+
+ Finally, if the insert fails (e.g. if the database is locked) the
+ user is presented with the option to retry, ignore, or edit the
+ header.
+
+Make internal address completion customizable
+
+ There is a new defcustom `notmuch-address-internal-completion` which
+ controls how the internal completion works: it allows the user to
+ choose whether to match on messages the user sent, or the user
+ received, and to filter the messages used for the match, for example
+ by date.
+
+Allow internal address completion on an individual basis
+
+ There is a new function `notmuch-address-toggle-internal-completion`
+ (by default it has no keybinding) which allows users who normally
+ use an external completion command to use the builtin internal
+ completion for the current buffer.
+
+ Alternatively, if the user has company-mode enabled, then the user
+ can use company mode commands such as `company-complete` to
+ activate the builtin completion for an individual completion.
+
+Resend messages
+
+ The function `notmuch-show-resend-message` (bound to `b` in show
+ and tree modes) will (attempt to) send current message to new
+ recipients. The headers of the message won't be altered (e.g. `To:`
+ may point to yourself). New `Resent-To:`, `Resent-From:` and so on
+ will be added instead.
+
+Face customization is easier
+
+ New faces `notmuch-tag-unread`, `notmuch-tag-flagged`,
+ `notmuch-tag-deleted`, `notmuch-tag-added`,
+ `notmuch-search-flagged-face` and `notmuch-search-unread-face` are
+ now used by default. Customize `notmuch-faces` to modify them.
+
+Omit User-Agent header by default when sending mail
+
+Ruby Bindings
+-------------
+
+Add support for `notmuch_database_get_all_tags`
+
+Go Bindings
+-----------
+
+Go bindings moved to contrib
+
+Add support for `notmuch_threads_t` and `notmuch_thread_t`
+
+Fixed constant values so they are not all zero anymore
+
+ Previously, it was impossible to open writable database handles,
+ because `DATABASE_MODE_READ_ONLY` and `DATABASE_MODE_READ_WRITE` were
+ both set to zero.
+ The same issue occured with sort modes.
+
+Notmuch 0.22.2 (2016-09-08)
+===========================
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Silence gdb more
+
+ Have gdb write to a log file instead of stdout, hiding some more
+ (harmless) stderr chatter which causes test failures.
+
+Hardcode fingerprint in PGP/MIME tests
+
+ Make the tests more robust against changing GnuPG output formats.
+
+Notmuch 0.22.1 (2016-07-19)
+===========================
+
+Library
+-------
+
+Correct the definition of `LIBNOTMUCH_CHECK_VERSION`.
+
+Document the (lack of) operations permitted on a closed database.
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Fix race condition in dump / restore tests.
+
+Notmuch-Mutt
+------------
+
+Use `env` to locate perl.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Tell `message-mode` mode that outgoing messages are mail
+
+ This makes message-mode configuration behave more predictably.
+
+Respect charset of MIME parts when reading them
+
+ Fix previous assumption that everyone uses UTF-8.
+
+Notmuch 0.22 (2016-04-26)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+Xapian 1.3 support
+
+ Notmuch should now build (and the test suite should pass) on recent
+ releases of Xapian 1.3.x. It has been tested with Xapian 1.3.5.
+
+Limited support for S/MIME messages
+
+ Signature verification is supported, but not decryption. S/MIME
+ signature creation and S/MIME encryption are supported via built-in
+ support in Emacs. S/MIME support is not extensively tested at this
+ time.
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+ Fix for threading bug involving deleting and re-adding
+ messages. Fix for case-sensitive content disposition headers. Fix
+ handling of 1 character directory names at top level.
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+`notmuch show` now supports verifying S/MIME signatures
+
+ This support relies on an appropriately configured `gpgsm`.
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+Drop dependency on "pkg-config emacs".
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Notmuch replies now include all parts shown in the show view
+
+ There are two main user visible changes. The first is that rfc822
+ parts are now included in replies.
+
+ The second change is that part headers are now included in the reply
+ buffer to provide visible separation of the parts. The choice of
+ which part headers to show is customizable via the variable
+ `notmuch-mua-reply-insert-header-p-function`.
+
+Filtering or Limiting messages is now bound to `l` in the search view
+
+ This binding now matches the analogous binding in show view.
+
+`F` forwards all open messages in a thread
+
+ When viewing a thread of messages, the new binding `F` can be used
+ to generate a new outgoing message which forwards all of the open
+ messages in the thread. This is analogous to the `f` binding, which
+ forwards only the current message.
+
+Preferred content type can be determined from the message content
+
+ More flexibility in choosing which sub-part of a
+ multipart/alternative part is initially shown is available by
+ setting `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a function
+ that returns a list of discouraged types. The function so specified
+ is passed the message as an argument and can examine the message
+ content to determine which content types should be discouraged. This
+ is in addition to the current capabilities (i.e. setting
+ `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a list of discouraged
+ types).
+
+When viewing a thread ("show" mode), queries that match no messages no
+longer generate empty buffers
+
+ Should an attempt be made to view the thread corresponding to a
+ query that matches no messages, a warning message is now displayed
+ and the terminal bell rung rather than displaying an empty buffer
+ (or, in some cases, displaying an empty buffer and throwing an
+ error). This also affects re-display of the current thread.
+
+Handle S/MIME signatures in emacs
+
+ The emacs interface is now capable making and verifying S/MIME
+ signatures.
+
+`notmuch-message-address-insinuate` is now a no-op
+
+ This reduces the amount of interference with non-notmuch uses of
+ message-mode.
+
+Address completion improvements
+
+ An external script is no longer needed for address completion; if
+ you previously configured one, customize the variable
+ `notmuch-address-command` to try the internal completion. If
+ `company-mode` is available, notmuch uses it by default for
+ interactive address completion.
+
+Test and experiment with the emacs MUA available in source tree
+
+ `./devel/try-emacs-mua` runs emacs and fills the window with
+ information how to try the MUA safely. Emacs is configured to use
+ the notmuch (lisp) files located in `./emacs` directory.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+New `notmuch-report(1)` and `notmuch-report.json(5)` man pages
+describe `notmuch-report` and its JSON configuration file. You can
+build these files by running `make` in the `devel/nmbug/doc`
+directory.
+
+notmuch-report
+--------------
+
+Renamed from `nmbug-status`. This script generates reports based on
+notmuch queries, and doesn't really have anything to do with nmbug,
+except for sharing the `NMBGIT` environment variable. The new name
+focuses on the script's action, instead of its historical association
+with the nmbug workflow. This should make it more discoverable for
+users looking for generic notmuch reporting tools.
+
+The default configuration file name (extracted from the `config`
+branch of `NBMGIT` has changed from `status-config.json` to
+`notmuch-report.json` so it is more obviously associated with the
+report-generating script. The configuration file also has a new
+`meta.message-url` setting, which is documented in
+`notmuch-report.json(5)`.
+
+`notmuch-report` now wraps query phrases in parentheses when and-ing
+them together, to avoid confusion about clause grouping.
+
+Notmuch 0.21 (2015-10-29)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+Notmuch now requires gmime >= 2.6.7. The gmime 2.4 series is no longer
+supported.
+
+Database revision tracking: `lastmod:` queries
+
+ Each message now has a metadata revision number that increases with
+ every tagging operation. See the discussion of `lastmod:` in
+ `notmuch-search-terms(7)` for more information.
+
+Date queries now support `date:<expr>..!` shorthand for
+`date:<expr>..<expr>`
+
+ You can use, for example, `date:yesterday..!` to match from the
+ beginning of yesterday to the end of yesterday. For further details,
+ please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page.
+
+Notmuch database upgrade to support `lastmod:` queries
+
+ The above mentioned `lastmod:` prefix. This will be done
+ automatically, without prompting on the next time `notmuch new` is
+ run after the upgrade. The upgrade is not reversible, and the
+ upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of
+ Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the
+ `.notmuch` directory before upgrading.
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+The ruby bindings are now built as part of the main notmuch build
+process. This can be disabled with the `--without-ruby` option to
+configure.
+
+Building the documentation can be disabled with the `--without-docs`
+option to configure.
+
+Skipped individual tests are no longer considered as failures.
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Database revision tracking
+
+ Two new options were added to support revision tracking. A global
+ option "--uuid" (`notmuch(1)`) was added for to detect counter
+ rollover and reinitialization, and `notmuch-count(1)` gained a
+ `--lastmod` option to query database revision tracking data.
+
+The `notmuch address` command supports new deduplication schemes
+
+ `notmuch address` has gained a new `--deduplicate` option to specify
+ how the results should be deduplicated, if at all. The alternatives
+ are `no` (do not deduplicate, useful for processing the results with
+ external tools), `mailbox` (deduplicate based on the full, case
+ sensitive name and email address), and `address` (deduplicate based
+ on the case insensitive address part). See the `notmuch-address`
+ manual page for further information.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+`notmuch-emacs-version` is used in `User-Agent` header
+
+ The value of recently introduced variable `notmuch-emacs-version` is
+ now used as a part of `User-Agent` header when sending emails.
+
+Removed `notmuch-version` function by renaming it to `notmuch-cli-version`
+
+ With existing variable `notmuch-emacs-version` the accompanied
+ function which retrieves the version of `notmuch-command` is
+ better named as `notmuch-cli-version`.
+
+Query input now supports completion for "is:<tag>"
+
+New message composition mode: `notmuch-compose-mode`
+
+ This is mainly to fix fcc handling, but may be useful for user
+ customization as well.
+
+Allow filtering of search results in `notmuch-show`
+
+Add function to rerun current tree-view search in search mode
+
+Bug fix for replying to encrypted messages in `notmuch-tree` mode
+
+Allow saved searched to specify tree view rather than search view
+
+ Applies to saved searches run from `notmuch-hello`, or by a keyboard
+ shortcut (`notmuch-jump`). Can be set in the customize interface, or
+ by adding :search-type tree to the appropriate saved search plist in
+ `notmuch-saved-searches`.
+
+Increase maximum size of rendered text parts
+
+ The variable `notmuch-show-max-text-part-size` controls the maximum
+ size (in bytes) which is automatically rendered. This may make
+ rendering large threads slower. To get the previous behaviour set
+ this variable to 10000.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+The use of absolute paths is now enforced when calling
+`notmuch_database_{open, create}`
+
+New function `notmuch_directory_delete` to delete directory documents
+
+ Previously there was no way to delete directory documents from the
+ database, leading to confusing results when the "ghost" directory
+ document of a renamed or deleted filesystem directory was
+ encountered every time the parent directory was being scanned by
+ `notmuch new`. The mtime of the old directory document was also used
+ if a directory by the same name was added again in the filesystem,
+ potentially bypassing the scan for the directory. The issues are
+ fixed by providing a library call to delete directory documents, and
+ deleting the old documents in `notmuch new` on filesystem directory
+ removal or rename.
+
+Database revision tracking
+
+ Revision tracking is supported via a new prefix "lastmod:" in the
+ query parser and the new function
+ `notmuch_database_get_revision`. For the latter, see `notmuch(3)`.
+
+New status code returning API for n_query_count_{messages,threads}
+
+Deprecated functions
+
+ `notmuch_query_search_threads`, `notmuch_query_search_messages`,
+ `notmuch_query_count_messages`, and `notmuch_query_count_threads`
+ are all deprecated as of this release. Clients are encouraged to
+ transition to the `_st` variants supporting better error reporting.
+
+nmbug-status
+------------
+
+`nmbug-status` now supports specifying the sort order for each view.
+

Python Bindings
---------------
Python bindings have been updated and extended
- (docs online at http://packages.python.org/notmuch/)
+ (docs online at https://notmuch.readthedocs.io/)
New bindings:
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
+ run notmuch new and set up 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
