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.

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. + +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.
