-Notmuch 0.13 (2012-xx-xx)
+Notmuch 0.21 (UNRELEASED)
+=========================
+
+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.
+
+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
+
+Notmuch 0.20.2 (2015-06-27)
+===========================
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Bug fix for marking messages read in `notmuch-tree` mode.
+
+Notmuch 0.20.1 (2015-06-01)
+===========================
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Work around apparent gdb bug on arm64.
+
+Notmuch 0.20 (2015-05-31)
=========================
Command-Line Interface
----------------------
-Reply to sender
+There is a new `mimetype:` search prefix
- "notmuch reply" has gained the ability to create a reply template
- for replying just to the sender of the message, in addition to reply
- to all. The feature is available through the new command line option
- --reply-to=(all|sender).
+ The new `mimetype:` search prefix allows searching for the
+ content-type of attachments, which is now indexed. See the
+ `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details.
+
+Path to gpg is now configurable
+
+ On systems with multiple versions of gpg, you can tell
+ notmuch which one to use by setting `crypto.gpg_path`
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Avoid rendering large text attachements.
+
+Improved rendering of CID references in HTML.
+
+Vim
+---
+
+Vim client now respects excluded tags.
+
+Notmuch-Mutt
+------------
+
+Support messages without Message-IDs.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+Undeprecate single message mboxes
+
+ It seems more trouble to remove this feature than expected, so
+ `notmuch new` will no longer nag about mboxes with a single message.
+
+New error logging facility
+
+ Clients should call `notmuch_database_status_string` to retrieve
+ output formerly printed to stderr.
+
+Several bug fixes related to stale iterators
+
+New status code returning API for n_query_search_{messages,thread}
+
+Fix for library `install_name` on Mac OS X
+
+Fix for rounding of seconds
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Sphinx is now mandatory to build docs
+
+ Support for using rst2man in place of sphinx to build the
+ docmumentation has been removed.
+
+Improved notmuch-search-terms.7
+
+ The man page `notmuch-search-terms(7)` has been extended, merging
+ some material from the relicensed wiki.
+
+Contrib
+-------
+
+`notmuch-deliver` is removed. As far as we know, all functionality
+previously provided by `notmuch-deliver` should now be provided by
+`notmuch insert`, provided by the main notmuch binary.
+
+nmbug-status
+------------
+
+`nmbug-status` now only matches local branches when reading
+`status-config.json` from the `config` branch of the `NMBGIT`
+repository. To help new users running `nmbug-status`, `nmbug clone`
+now creates a local `config` branch tracking `origin/config`. Folks
+who use `nmbug-status` with an in-Git config (i.e. you don't use the
+`--config` option) who already have `NMBGIT` set up are encouraged to
+run:
+
+ git checkout config origin/config
+
+in their `NMBGIT` repository (usually `~/.nmbug`).
+
+Notmuch 0.19 (2014-11-14)
+=========================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This release improves the reliability of `notmuch dump` and the error
+handling for `notmuch insert`. The new `notmuch address` command is
+intended to make searching for email addresses more convenient. At the
+library level the revised handling of missing messages fixes at least
+one bug in threading. The release also includes several interface
+improvements to the emacs interface, most notably the ability to bind
+keyboard shortcuts to saved searches.
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Stopped `notmuch dump` failing if someone writes to the database
+
+ The dump command now takes the write lock when running. This
+ prevents other processes from writing to the database during the
+ dump which would cause the dump to fail. Note, if another notmuch
+ process already has the write lock the dump will not start, so
+ script callers should still check the return value.
+
+`notmuch insert` requires succesful message indexing for success status
+
+ Previously the `notmuch insert` subcommand indicated success even if
+ the message indexing failed, as long as the message was delivered to
+ file system. This could have lead to delivered messages missing
+ tags, etc. `notmuch insert` is now more strict, also requiring
+ succesful indexing for success status. Use the new `--keep` option
+ to revert to the old behaviour (keeping the delivered message file
+ and returning success even if indexing fails).
+
+`notmuch insert` has gained support for `post-insert` hook
+
+ The new `post-insert` hook is run after message delivery, similar to
+ `post-new`. There's also a new option `notmuch insert --no-hooks` to
+ skip the hook. See the notmuch-hooks(1) man page for details.
+
+`notmuch deliver` is deprecated
+
+ With this release we believe that `notmuch insert` has reached
+ parity with `notmuch deliver`. We recommend that all users of
+ `notmuch deliver` switch to `notmuch insert` as the former is
+ currently unmaintained.
+
+`notmuch search` now supports `--duplicate=N` option with `--output=messages`
+
+ Complementing the `notmuch search --duplicate=N --output=files`
+ options, the new `--duplicate=N --output=messages` combination
+ limits output of message IDs to messages matching search terms that
+ have at least `N` files associated with them.
+
+Added `notmuch address` subcommand
+
+ This new subcommand searches for messages matching the given search
+ terms, and prints the addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are
+ filtered out. The `--output` option controls which of the following
+ information is printed: sender addresses, recipient addresses and
+ count of duplicate addresses.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Use the `j` key to access saved searches from anywhere in notmuch
+
+ `j` is now globally bound to `notmuch-jump`, which provides fast,
+ interactive keyboard shortcuts to saved searches. For example,
+ with the default saved searches `j i` from anywhere in notmuch will
+ bring up the inbox.
+
+Improved handling of the unread tag
+
+ Notmuch now marks an open message read (i.e., removes the unread
+ tag) if point enters the message at any time in a show buffer
+ regardless of how point got there (mouse click, cursor command, page
+ up/down, notmuch commands such as n,N etc). This fixes various
+ anomalies or bugs in the previous handling. Additionally it is
+ possible to customize the mark read handling by setting
+ `notmuch-show-mark-read-function` to a custom function.
+
+Expanded default saved search settings
+
+ The default saved searches now include several more common searches,
+ as well as shortcut keys for `notmuch-jump`.
+
+Improved `q` binding in notmuch buffers
+
+ `q` will now bury rather than kill a notmuch search, show or tree
+ buffer if there are multiple windows showing the buffer. If only a
+ single window is showing the buffer, it is killed.
+
+`notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports functions
+
+ Some list archives may use a more complicated scheme for referring
+ to messages than just concatenated URL and message ID. For example,
+ patchwork requires a query to translate message ID to a patchwork
+ patch ID. `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports
+ functions to better cover such cases. See the help documentation for
+ the variable for details.
+
+Library changes
+---------------
+
+Introduced database version 3 with support for "database features."
+
+ Features are independent aspects of the database schema.
+ Representing these independently of the database version number will
+ let us evolve the database format faster and more incrementally,
+ while maintaining better forwards and backwards compatibility.
+
+Library users are no longer required to call `notmuch_database_upgrade`
+
+ Previously, library users were required to call
+ `notmuch_database_needs_upgrade` and `notmuch_database_upgrade`
+ before using a writable database. Even the CLI didn't get this
+ right, and it is no longer required. Now, individual APIs may
+ return `NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED` if the database format is
+ too out of date for that API.
+
+Library users can now abort an atomic section by closing the database
+
+ Previously there was no supported way to abort an atomic section.
+ Callers can now simply close the database, and any outstanding
+ atomic section will be aborted.
+
+Add return status to `notmuch_database_close` and
+`notmuch_database_destroy`
+
+Bug fixes and performance improvements for thread linking
+
+ The database now represents missing-but-referenced messages ("ghost
+ messages") similarly to how it represents regular messages. This
+ enables an improved thread linking algorithm that performs better
+ and fixes a bug that sometimes prevented notmuch from linking
+ messages into the same thread.
+
+nmbug
+-----
+
+The Perl script has been translated to Python; you'll need Python 2.7
+or anything from the 3.x line. Most of the user-facing interface is
+the same, but `nmbug help` is now `nmbug --help`, and the following nmbug
+commands have slightly different interfaces: `archive`, `commit`,
+`fetch`, `log`, `pull`, `push`, and `status`. For details on the
+new interface for a given command, run `nmbug COMMAND --help`.
+
+nmbug-status
+------------
+
+`nmbug-status` can now optionally load header and footer templates
+from the config file. Use something like:
+
+ {
+ "meta": {
+ "header": "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang="en">\n...",
+ "footer": "</body></html>",
+ ...
+ },
+ ...
+ },
+
+Python Bindings
+---------------
+
+Add support for `notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude`
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+The notmuch binaries and libraries are now build with debugging symbols
+by default. Users concerned with disk space should change the
+defaults when configuring or use the strip(1) command.
+
+Notmuch 0.18.2 (2014-10-25)
+===========================
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Translate T380-atomicity to use gdb/python
+
+ The new version is compatible with gdb 7.8
+
+Emacs 24.4 related bug fixes
+
+ The Messages buffer became read-only, and the generated mime
+ structure for signatures changed slightly.
+
+Simplify T360-symbol-hiding
+
+ Replace the use of `objdump` on the object files with `nm` on the
+ resulting lib.
+
+Notmuch 0.18.1 (2014-06-25)
+===========================
+
+This is a bug fix and portability release.
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+Add a workaround for systems without zlib.pc
+
+Make emacs install robust against the non-existence of emacs
+
+Put notmuch lib directory first in RPATH
+
+Fix handling of `html_static_path` in sphinx
+
+ Both the python bindings and the main docs had spurious settings of
+ this variable.
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Use --quick when starting emacs
+
+ This avoids a hang in the T160-json tests.
+
+Allow pending break points in atomicity script
+
+ This allows the atomicity tests to run on several more architectures/OSes.
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+To improve portability use fsync instead of fdatasync in
+`notmuch-dump`. There should be no functional difference.
+
+Library changes
+---------------
+
+Resurrect support for single-message mbox files
+
+ The removal introduced a bug with previously indexed single-message
+ mboxes. This support remains deprecated.
+
+Fix for phrase indexing
+
+ There were several bugs where words intermingled from different
+ headers and MIME parts could match a single phrase query. This fix
+ will affect only newly indexed messages.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Make sure tagging on an empty query is harmless
+
+ Previously tagging an empty query could lead to tags being
+ unintentionally removed.
+
+Notmuch 0.18 (2014-05-06)
+=========================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This new release includes some enhancements to searching for messages
+by filesystem location (`folder:` and `path:` prefixes under *General*
+below). Saved searches in *Emacs* have also been enhanced to allow
+distinct search orders for each one. Another enhancement to the
+*Emacs* interface is that replies to encrypted messages are now
+encrypted, reducing the risk of unintentional information disclosure.
+The default dump output format has changed to the more robust
+`batch-tag` format. The previously deprecated parsing of single
+message mboxes has been removed. For detailed release notes, see
+below.
+
+General
+-------
+
+The `folder:` search prefix now requires an exact match
+
+ The `folder:` prefix has been changed to search for email messages
+ by the exact, case sensitive maildir or MH folder name. Wildcard
+ matching (`folder:foo*`) is no longer supported. The new behaviour
+ allows for more accurate mail folder based searches, makes it
+ possible to search for messages in the top-level folder, and should
+ lead to less surprising results than the old behaviour. Users are
+ advised to see the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details,
+ and review how the change affects their existing `folder:` searches.
+
+There is a new `path:` search prefix
+
+ The new `path:` search prefix complements the `folder:` prefix. The
+ `path:` prefix searches for email messages that are in particular
+ directories within the mail store, optionally recursively using a
+ special syntax. See the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for
+ details.
+
+Notmuch database upgrade due to `folder:` and `path:` changes
+
+ The above mentioned changes to the `folder:` prefix and the addition
+ of `path:` prefix require a Notmuch database upgrade. 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.
+
+Library changes
+---------------
+
+Notmuch database upgrade
+
+ The libnotmuch consumers are reminded to handle database upgrades
+ properly, either by relying on running `notmuch new`, or checking
+ `notmuch_database_needs_upgrade()` and calling
+ `notmuch_database_upgrade()` as necessary. This has always been the
+ case, but in practise there have been no database upgrades in any
+ released version of Notmuch before now.
+
+Support for indexing mbox files has been dropped
+
+ There has never been proper support for mbox files containing
+ multiple messages, and the support for single-message mbox files has
+ been deprecated since Notmuch 0.15. The support has now been
+ dropped, and all mbox files will be rejected during indexing.
+
+Message header parsing changes
+
+ Notmuch previously had an internal parser for message headers. The
+ parser has now been dropped in favour of letting GMime parse both
+ the headers and the message MIME structure at the same pass. This is
+ mostly an internal change, but the GMime parser is stricter in its
+ interpretation of the headers. This may result in messages with
+ slightly malformed message headers being now rejected.
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+`notmuch dump` now defaults to `batch-tag` format
+
+ The old format is still available with `--format=sup`.
+
+`notmuch new` has a --quiet option
+
+ This option suppresses the progress and summary reports.
+
+`notmuch insert` respects maildir.synchronize_flags config option
+
+ Do not synchronize tags to maildir flags in `notmuch insert` if the
+ user does not want it.
+
+The commands set consistent exit status codes on failures
+
+ The cli commands now consistently set exit status of 1 on failures,
+ except where explicitly otherwise noted. The notable expections are
+ the status codes for format version mismatches for commands that
+ support formatted output.
+
+Bug fix for checking configured new.tags for invalid tags
+
+ `notmuch new` and `notmuch insert` now check the user configured
+ new.tags for invalid tags, and refuse to apply them, similar to
+ `notmuch tag`. Invalid tags are currently the empty string and tags
+ starting with `-`.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Init file
+
+ If the file pointed by new variable `notmuch-init-file` (typically
+ `~/.emacs.d/notmuch-config.el`) exists, it is loaded at the end of
+ `notmuch.el`. Users can put their personal notmuch emacs lisp based
+ configuration/customization items there instead of filling
+ `~/.emacs` with these.
+
+Changed format for saved searches
+
+ The format for `notmuch-saved-searches` has changed, but old style
+ saved searches are still supported. The new style means that a saved
+ search can store the desired sort order for the search, and it can
+ store a separate query to use for generating the count notmuch
+ shows.
+
+ The variable is fully customizable and any configuration done
+ through customize should *just work*, with the additional options
+ mentioned above. For manual customization see the documentation for
+ `notmuch-saved-searches`.
+
+ IMPORTANT: a new style notmuch-saved-searches variable will break
+ previous versions of notmuch-emacs (even search will not work); to
+ fix remove the customization for notmuch-saved-searches.
+
+ If you have a custom saved search sort function (not unsorted or
+ alphabetical) then the sort function will need to be
+ modified. Replacing (car saved-search) by (notmuch-saved-search-get
+ saved-search :name) and (cdr saved-search) by
+ (notmuch-saved-search-get saved-search :query) should be sufficient.
+
+The keys of `notmuch-tag-formats` are now regexps
+
+ Previously, the keys were literal strings. Customized settings of
+ `notmuch-tag-formats` will continue to work as before unless tags
+ contain regexp special characters like `.` or `*`.
+
+Changed tags are now shown in the buffer
+
+ Previously tag changes made in a buffer were shown immediately. In
+ some cases (particularly automatic tag changes like marking read)
+ this made it hard to see what had happened (e.g., whether the
+ message had been unread).
+
+ The changes are now shown explicitly in the buffer: by default
+ deleted tags are displayed with red strike-through and added tags
+ are displayed underlined in green (inverse video is used for deleted
+ tags if the terminal does not support strike-through).
+
+ The variables `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` and
+ `notmuch-tag-added-formats`, which have the same syntax as
+ `notmuch-tag-formats`, allow this to be customized.
+
+ Setting `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` to `'((".*" nil))` and
+ `notmuch-tag-added-formats` to `'((".*" tag))` will give the old
+ behavior of hiding deleted tags and showing added tags identically
+ to tags already present.
+
+Version variable
+
+ The new, build-time generated variable `notmuch-emacs-version` is used
+ to distinguish between notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions.
+ The function `notmuch-hello-versions` (bound to 'v' in notmuch-hello
+ window) prints both notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions in case
+ these differ from each other.
+ This is especially useful when using notmuch remotely.
+
+Ido-completing-read initialization in Emacs 23
+
+ `ido-completing-read` in Emacs 23 versions 1 through 3 freezes unless
+ it is initialized. Defadvice-based *Ido* initialization is defined
+ for these Emacs versions.
+
+Bug fix for saved searches with newlines in them
+
+ Split lines confuse `notmuch count --batch`, so we remove embedded
+ newlines before calling notmuch count.
+
+Bug fixes for sender identities
+
+ Previously, Emacs would rewrite some sender identities in unexpected
+ and undesirable ways. Now it will use identities exactly as
+ configured in `notmuch-identities`.
+
+Replies to encrypted messages will be encrypted by default
+
+ In the interest of maintaining confidentiality of communications,
+ the Notmuch Emacs interface now automatically adds the mml tag to
+ encrypt replies to encrypted messages. This should make it less
+ likely to accidentally reply to encrypted messages in plain text.
+
+Reply pushes mark before signature
+
+ We push mark and set point on reply so that the user can easily cut
+ the quoted text. The mark is now pushed before the signature, if
+ any, instead of end of buffer so the signature is preserved.
+
+Message piping uses the originating buffer's working directory
+
+ `notmuch-show-pipe-message` now uses the originating buffer's
+ current default directory instead of that of the `*notmuch-pipe*`
+ buffer's.
+
+nmbug
+-----
+
+nmbug adds a `clone` command for setting up the initial repository and
+uses `@{upstream}` instead of `FETCH_HEAD` to track upstream changes.
+
+ The `@{upstream}` change reduces ambiguity when fetching multiple
+ branches, but requires existing users update their `NMBGIT`
+ repository (usually `~/.nmbug`) to distinguish between local and
+ remote-tracking branches. The easiest way to do this is:
+
+ 1. If you have any purely local commits (i.e. they aren't in the
+ nmbug repository on nmbug.tethera.net), push them to a remote
+ repository. We'll restore them from the backup in step 4.
+ 2. Remove your `NMBGIT` repository (e.g. `mv .nmbug .nmbug.bak`).
+ 3. Use the new `clone` command to create a fresh clone:
+
+ nmbug clone http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
+
+ 4. If you had local commits in step 1, add a remote for that
+ repository and fetch them into the new repository.
+
+Notmuch 0.17 (2013-12-30)
+=========================
+
+Incompatible change in SHA1 computation
+---------------------------------------
+
+Previously on big endian architectures like sparc and powerpc the
+computation of SHA1 hashes was incorrect. This meant that messages
+with overlong or missing message-ids were given different computed
+message-ids than on more common little endian architectures like i386
+and amd64. If you use notmuch on a big endian architecture, you are
+strongly advised to make a backup of your tags using `notmuch dump`
+before this upgrade. You can locate the affected files using something
+like:
+
+ notmuch dump | \
+ awk '/^notmuch-sha1-[0-9a-f]{40} / \
+ {system("notmuch search --exclude=false --output=files id:" $1)}'
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+New options to better support handling duplicate messages
+
+ If more than one message file is associated with a message-id,
+ `notmuch search --output=files` will print all of them. A new
+ `--duplicate=N` option can be used to specify which duplicate to
+ print for each message.
+
+ `notmuch count` now supports `--output=files` option to output the
+ number of files associated with matching messages. This may be
+ bigger than the number of matching messages due to duplicates
+ (i.e. multiple files having the same message-id).
+
+Improved `notmuch new` performance for unchanged folders
+
+ `notmuch new` now skips over unchanged folders more efficiently,
+ which can substantially improve the performance of checking for new
+ mail in some situations (like NFS-mounted Maildirs).
+
+`notmuch reply --format=text` RFC 2047-encodes headers
+
+ Previously, this used a mix of standard MIME encoding for the reply
+ body and UTF-8 for the headers. Now, the text format reply template
+ RFC 2047-encodes the headers, making the output a valid RFC 2822
+ message. The JSON/sexp format is unchanged.
+
+`notmuch compact` command
+
+ The new `compact` command exposes Xapian's compaction
+ functionality through a more convenient interface than
+ `xapian-compact`. `notmuch compact` will compact the database to a
+ temporary location, optionally backup the original database, and
+ move the compacted database into place.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+`notmuch-tree` (formerly `notmuch-pick`) has been added to mainline
+
+ `notmuch-tree` is a threaded message view for the emacs
+ interface. Each message is one line in the results and the thread
+ structure is shown using UTF-8 box drawing characters (similar to
+ Mutt's threaded view). It comes between search and show in terms of
+ amount of output and can be useful for viewing both single threads
+ and multiple threads.
+
+ Using `notmuch-tree`
+
+ The main key entries to notmuch tree are
+
+ 'z' enter a query to view using notmuch tree (works in hello,
+ search, show and tree mode itself)
+
+ 'Z' view the current query in tree notmuch tree (works from search
+ and show)
+
+ Once in tree mode, keybindings are mostly in line with the rest of
+ notmuch and are all viewable with '?' as usual.
+
+ Customising `notmuch-tree`
+
+ `notmuch-tree` has several customisation variables. The most
+ significant is the first notmuch-tree-show-out which determines the
+ behaviour when selecting a message (with RET) in tree view. By
+ default tree view uses a split window showing the single message in
+ the bottom pane. However, if this option is set then it views the
+ whole thread in the complete window jumping to the selected message
+ in the thread. In either case command-prefix selects the other option.
+
+Tagging threads in search is now race-free
+
+ Previously, adding or removing a tag from a thread in a search
+ buffer would affect messages that had arrived after the search was
+ performed, resulting in, for example, archiving messages that were
+ never seen. Tagging now affects only the messages that were in the
+ thread when the search was performed.
+
+`notmuch-hello` refreshes when switching to the buffer
+
+ The hello buffer now refreshes whenever you switch to the buffer,
+ regardless of how you get there. You can disable automatic
+ refreshing by customizing `notmuch-hello-auto-refresh`.
+
+Specific mini-buffer prompts for tagging operations
+
+ When entering tags to add or remove, the mini-buffer prompt now
+ indicates what operation will be performed (e.g., "Tag thread", "Tag
+ message", etc).
+
+Built-in help improvements
+
+ Documentation for many commands has been improved, as displayed by
+ `notmuch-help` (usually bound to "?"). The bindings listed by
+ `notmuch-help` also now include descriptions of prefixed commands.
+
+Quote replies as they are displayed in show view
+
+ We now render the parts for reply quoting the same way they are
+ rendered for show. At this time, the notable change is that replies
+ to text/calendar are now pretty instead of raw vcalendar.
+
+Fixed inconsistent use of configured search order
+
+ All ways of interactively invoking search now honor the value of
+ `notmuch-search-oldest-first`.
+
+Common keymap for notmuch-wide bindings
+
+ Several key bindings have been moved from mode-specific keymaps to
+ the single `notmuch-common-keymap`, which is inherited by each
+ notmuch mode. If you've customized your key bindings, you may want
+ to move some of them to the common keymap.
+
+The `notmuch-tag` function now requires a list of tag changes
+
+ For users who have scripted the Emacs interface: the `notmuch-tag`
+ API has changed. Previously, it accepted either a list of tag
+ changes or a space-separated string of tag changes. The latter is
+ no longer supported and the function now returns nothing.
+
+Fixed `notmuch-reply` putting reply in primary selection
+
+ On emacs 24 notmuch-reply used to put the cited text into the
+ primary selection (which could lead to inadvertently pasting this
+ cited text elsewhere). Now the primary-selection is not changed.
+
+Fixed `notmuch-show` invisible part handling
+
+ In some obscure cases part buttons and invisibility had strange
+ interactions: in particular, the default action for some parts gave
+ the wrong action. This has been fixed.
+
+Fixed `notmuch-show` attachment viewers and stderr
+
+ In emacs 24.3+ viewing an attachment could cause spurious text to
+ appear in the show buffer (any stderr or stdout the viewer
+ produced). By default this output is now discarded. For debugging,
+ setting `notmuch-show-attachment-debug` causes notmuch to keep the
+ viewer's stderr and stdout in a separate buffer.
+
+Fixed `notmuch-mua-reply` point placement when signature involved
+
+ By restricting cursor movement to body section for cursor placement
+ after signature is inserted, the cursor cannot "leak" to header
+ section anymore. Now inserted citation content will definitely go to
+ the body part of the message.
+
+Vim Interface
+-------------
+
+ It is now possible to compose new messages in the Vim interface, as
+ opposed reply to existing messages. There is also support for
+ going straight to a search (bypassing the folders view).
+
+Notmuch 0.16 (2013-08-03)
+=========================
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Support for delivering messages to Maildir
+
+ There is a new command `insert` that adds a message to a Maildir
+ folder and notmuch index.
+
+`notmuch count --batch` option
+
+ `notmuch count` now supports batch operations similar to `notmuch
+ tag`. This is mostly an optimization for remote notmuch usage.
+
+`notmuch tag` option to remove all tags from matching messages
+
+ `notmuch tag --remove-all` option has been added to remove all tags
+ from matching messages. This can be combined with adding new tags,
+ resulting in setting (rather than modifying) the tags of the
+ messages.
+
+Decrypting commands explicitly expect a gpg-agent
+
+ Decryption in `notmuch show` and `notmuch reply` has only ever
+ worked with a functioning gpg-agent. This is now made explicit in
+ code and documentation. The functional change is that it's now
+ possible to have gpg-agent running, but gpg "use-agent"
+ configuration option disabled, not forcing the user to use the agent
+ everywhere.
+
+Configuration file saves follow symbolic links
+
+ The notmuch commands that save the configuration file now follow
+ symbolic links instead of overwrite them.
+
+Top level option to specify configuration file
+
+ It's now possible to specify the configuration file to use on the
+ command line using the `notmuch --config=FILE` option.
+
+Bash command-line completion
+
+ The notmuch command-line completion support for the bash shell has
+ been rewritten. Supported completions include all the notmuch
+ commands, command-line arguments, values for keyword arguments,
+ search prefixes (such as "subject:" or "from:") in all commands that
+ use search terms, tags after + and - in `notmuch tag`, tags after
+ "tag:" prefix, user's email addresses after "from:" and "to:"
+ prefixes, and config options (and some config option values) in
+ `notmuch config`. The new completion support depends on the
+ bash-completion package.
+
+Deprecated commands "part" and "search-tags" are removed.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+New keymap to view/save parts; removed s/v/o/| part button bindings
+
+ The commands to view, save, and open MIME parts are now prefixed
+ with "." (". s" to save, ". v" to view, etc) and can be invoked with
+ point anywhere in a part, unlike the old commands, which were
+ restricted to part buttons. The old "s"/"v"/"o"/"|" commands on
+ part buttons have been removed since they clashed with other
+ bindings (notably "s" for search!) and could not be invoked when
+ there was no part button. The new, prefixed bindings appear in
+ show's help, so you no longer have to memorize them.
+
+Default part save directory is now `mm-default-directory`
+
+ Previously, notmuch offered to save parts and attachments to a mix
+ of `mm-default-directory`, `mailcap-download-directory`, and `~/`.
+ This has been standardized on `mm-default-directory`.
+
+Key bindings for next/previous thread
+
+ Show view has new key bindings M-n and M-p to move to the next and
+ previous thread in the search results.
+
+Better handling of errors in search buffers
+
+ Instead of interleaving errors in search result buffers, search mode
+ now reports errors in the minibuffer.
+
+Faster search and show
+
+ Communication between Emacs and the notmuch CLI is now more
+ efficient because it uses the CLI's S-expression support. As a
+ result, search mode should now fill search buffers faster and
+ threads should show faster.
+
+No Emacs 22 support
+
+ The Emacs 22 support added late 2010 was sufficient only for a short
+ period of time. After being incomplete for roughly 2 years the code
+ in question was now removed from this release.
+
+Vim Front-End
+-------------
+
+The vim based front-end has been replaced with a new one that uses the Ruby
+bindings. The old font-end is available in the contrib subfolder.
+
+Python Bindings
+---------------
+
+Fix loading of libnotmuch shared library on OS X (Darwin) systems.
+
+Notmuch 0.15.2 (2013-02-17)
+===========================
+
+Build fixes
+-----------
+
+Update dependencies to avoid problems when building in parallel.
+
+Internal test framework changes
+-------------------------------
+
+Adjust Emacs test watchdog mechanism to cope with `process-attributes`
+being unimplemented.
+
+Notmuch 0.15.1 (2013-01-24)
+===========================
+
+Internal test framework changes
+-------------------------------
+
+Set a default value for TERM when running tests. This fixes certain
+build failures in non-interactive environments.
+
+Notmuch 0.15 (2013-01-18)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+Date range search support
+
+ The `date:` prefix can now be used in queries to restrict the results
+ to only messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
+ header) with a range syntax of `date:<since>..<until>`. Notmuch
+ supports a wide variety of expressions in `<since>` and
+ `<until>`. Please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms(7)` manual page
+ for details.
+
+Empty tag names and tags beginning with "-" are deprecated
+
+ Such tags have been a frequent source of confusion and cause
+ (sometimes unresolvable) conflicts with other syntax. notmuch tag
+ no longer allows such tags to be added to messages. Removing such
+ tags continues to be supported to allow cleanup of existing tags,
+ but may be removed in a future release.
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+`notmuch new` no longer chokes on mboxes
+
+ `notmuch new` now rejects mbox files containing more than one
+ message, rather than treating the file as one giant message.
+
+Support for single message mboxes is deprecated
+
+ For historical reasons, `notmuch new` will index mbox files
+ containing a single message; however, this behavior is now
+ officially deprecated.
+
+Fixed `notmuch new` to skip ignored broken symlinks
+
+ `notmuch new` now correctly skips symlinks if they are in the
+ ignored files list. Previously, it would abort when encountering
+ broken symlink, even if it was ignored.
+
+New dump/restore format and tagging interface
+
+ There is a new `batch-tag` format for dump and restore that is more
+ robust, particularly with respect to tags and message-ids containing
+ whitespace.
+
+ `notmuch tag` now supports the ability to read tag operations and
+ queries from an input stream, in a format compatible with the new
+ dump/restore format.
+
+Bcc and Reply-To headers are now available in notmuch show json output
+
+ The `notmuch show --format=json` now includes "Bcc" and "Reply-To" headers.
+ For example notmuch Emacs client can now have these headers visible
+ when the headers are added to the `notmuch-message-headers` variable.
+
+CLI callers can now request a specific output format version
+
+ `notmuch` subcommands that support structured output now support a
+ `--format-version` argument for requesting a specific version of the
+ structured output, enabling better compatibility and error handling.
+
+`notmuch search` has gained a null character separated text output format
+
+ The new --format=text0 output format for `notmuch search` prints
+ output separated by null characters rather than newline
+ characters. This is similar to the find(1) -print0 option, and works
+ together with the xargs(1) -0 option.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Removal of the deprecated `notmuch-folders` variable
+
+ `notmuch-folders` has been deprecated since the introduction of saved
+ searches and the notmuch hello view in notmuch 0.3. `notmuch-folders`
+ has now been removed. Any remaining users should migrate to
+ `notmuch-saved-searches`.
+
+Visibility of MIME parts can be toggled
+
+ Each part of a multi-part MIME email can now be shown or hidden
+ using the button at the top of each part (by pressing RET on it or
+ by clicking). For emails with multiple alternative formats (e.g.,
+ plain text and HTML), only the preferred format is shown initially,
+ but other formats can be shown using their part buttons. To control
+ the behavior of this, see
+ `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` and
+ `notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts`.
+
+ Note notmuch-show-print-message (bound to '#' by default) will print
+ all parts of multipart/alternative message regardless of whether
+ they are currently hidden or shown in the buffer.
+
+Emacs now buttonizes mid: links
+
+ mid: links are a standardized way to link to messages by message ID
+ (see RFC 2392). Emacs now hyperlinks mid: links to the appropriate
+ notmuch search.
+
+Handle errors from bodypart insertions
+
+ If displaying the text of a message in show mode causes an error (in
+ the `notmuch-show-insert-part-*` functions), notmuch no longer cuts
+ off thread display at the offending message. The error is now
+ simply displayed in place of the message.
+
+Emacs now detects version mismatches with the notmuch CLI
+
+ Emacs now detects and reports when the Emacs interface version and
+ the notmuch CLI version are incompatible.
+
+Improved text/calendar content handling
+
+ Carriage returns in embedded text/calendar content caused insertion
+ of the calendar content fail. Now CRs are removed before calling icalendar
+ to extract icalendar data. In case icalendar extraction fails an error
+ is thrown for the bodypart insertion function to deal with.
+
+Disabled coding conversions when reading in `with-current-notmuch-show-message`
+
+ Depending on the user's locale, saving attachments containing 8-bit
+ data may have performed an unintentional encoding conversion,
+ corrupting the saved attachment. This has been fixed by making
+ `with-current-notmuch-show-message` disable coding conversion.
+
+Fixed errors with HTML email containing images in Emacs 24
+
+ Emacs 24 ships with a new HTML renderer that produces better output,
+ but is slightly buggy. We work around a bug that caused it to fail
+ for HTML email containing images.
+
+Fixed handling of tags with unusual characters in them
+
+ Emacs now handles tags containing spaces, quotes, and parenthesis.
+
+Fixed buttonization of id: links without quote characters
+
+ Emacs now correctly buttonizes id: links where the message ID is not
+ quoted.
+
+`notmuch-hello` refresh point placement improvements
+
+ Refreshing the `notmuch-hello` buffer does a better job of keeping
+ the point where it was.
+
+Automatic tag changes are now unified and customizable
+
+ All the automatic tag changes that the Emacs interface makes when
+ reading, archiving, or replying to messages, can now be
+ customized. Any number of tag additions and removals is supported
+ through the `notmuch-show-mark-read`, `notmuch-archive-tags`, and
+ `notmuch-message-replied-tags` customization variables.
+
+Support for stashing the thread id in show view
+
+ Invoking `notmuch-show-stash-message-id` with a prefix argument
+ stashes the (local and database specific) thread id of the current
+ thread instead of the message id.
+
+New add-on tool: notmuch-pick
+-----------------------------
+
+The new contrib/ tool `notmuch-pick` is an experimental threaded message
+view for the emacs interface. Each message is one line in the results
+and the thread structure is shown using UTF-8 box drawing characters
+(similar to Mutt's threaded view). It comes between search and show in
+terms of amount of output and can be useful for viewing both single
+threads and multiple threads. See the notmuch-pick README file for
+further details and installation.
+
+Portability
+-----------
+
+notmuch now builds on OpenBSD.
+
+Internal test framework changes
+-------------------------------
+
+The emacsclient binary is now user-configurable
+
+ The test framework now accepts `TEST_EMACSCLIENT` in addition to
+ `TEST_EMACS` for configuring the emacsclient to use. This is
+ necessary to avoid using an old emacsclient with a new emacs, which
+ can result in buggy behavior.
+
+Notmuch 0.14 (2012-08-20)
+=========================
+
+General bug fixes
+-----------------
+
+Maildir tag synchronization
+
+ Maildir flag-to-tag synchronization now applies only to messages in
+ maildir-like directory structures. Previously, it applied to any
+ message that had a maildir "info" part, which meant it could
+ incorrectly synchronize tags for non-maildir messages, while at the
+ same time failing to synchronize tags for newly received maildir
+ messages (typically causing new messages to not receive the "unread"
+ tag).
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+ The deprecated positional output file argument to `notmuch dump` has
+ been replaced with an `--output` option. The input file positional
+ argument to `notmuch restore` has been replaced with an `--input`
+ option for consistency with dump. These changes simplify the syntax
+ of dump/restore options and make them more consistent with other
+ notmuch commands.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Search results now get re-colored when tags are updated
+
+The formatting of tags in search results can now be customized
+
+ Previously, attempting to change the format of tags in
+ `notmuch-search-result-format` would usually break tagging from
+ search-mode. We no longer make assumptions about the format.
+
+Experimental support for multi-line search result formats
+
+ It is now possible to embed newlines in
+ `notmuch-search-result-format` to make individual search results
+ span multiple lines.
+
+Next/previous in search and show now move by boundaries
+
+ All "next" and "previous" commands in the search and show modes now
+ move to the next/previous result or message boundary. This doesn't
+ change the behavior of "next", but "previous" commands will first
+ move to the beginning of the current result or message if point is
+ inside the result or message.
+
+Search now uses the JSON format internally
+
+ This should address problems with unusual characters in authors and
+ subject lines that could confuse the old text-based search parser.
+
+The date shown in search results is no longer padded before applying
+user-specified formatting
+
+ Previously, the date in the search results was padded to fixed width
+ before being formatted with `notmuch-search-result-format`. It is
+ no longer padded. The default format has been updated, but if
+ you've customized this variable, you may have to change your date
+ format from `"%s "` to `"%12s "`.
+
+The thread-id for the `target-thread` argument for `notmuch-search` should
+now be supplied without the "thread:" prefix.
+
+Notmuch 0.13.2 (2012-06-02)
+===========================
+
+Bug-fix release
+---------------
+
+Update `contrib/notmuch-deliver` for API changes in 0.13. This fixes a
+compilation error for this contrib package.
+
+Notmuch 0.13.1 (2012-05-29)
+===========================
+
+Bug-fix release
+---------------
+
+Fix inserting of UTF-8 characters from *text/plain* parts in reply
+
+ While notmuch gained ability to insert content from other than *text/plain*
+ parts of email whenever *text/plain* parts are not available (notably
+ HTML-only emails), replying to mails that do have *text/plain* the
+ non-ASCII characters were incorrectly decoded. This is now fixed.
+
+`notmuch_database_get_directory` and
+`notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename` now work on read-only
+databases
+
+ Previously, these functions attempted to create directory documents
+ that didn't exist and would return an error or abort when given a
+ read-only database. Now they no longer create directory documents
+ and simply return a `NULL` object if the directory does not exist,
+ as documented.
+
+Fix compilation of ruby bindings
+
+ Revert to dynamic linking, since the statically linked bindings did
+ not work well.
