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).

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).
