Fix a + related abort in `notmuch show`. + +Notmuch 0.26.1 (2018-04-02) +=========================== + +Library Changes +--------------- + +Bump the library minor version. This should have happened in 0.26, but +better late than never. + + +Notmuch 0.26 (2018-01-09) +========================= + +Command Line Interface +---------------------- + +Support for re-indexing existing messages + + There is a new subcommand, `notmuch reindex`, which re-indexes all + messages matching supplied search terms. This permits users to + change the way specific messages are indexed. + + Note that for messages with multiple variants in the message + archive, the recorded Subject: of may change upon reindexing, + depending on the order in which the variants are indexed. + +Improved error reporting in notmuch new + + Give more details when reporting certain Xapian exceptions. + +Support maildir synced tags in `new.tags` + + Tags `draft`, `flagged`, `passed`, and `replied` are now supported + in `new.tags`. The tag `unread` is still special in the presence of + maildir syncing, and will be added for files in `new/` regardless of + the setting of `new.tags`. + +Support /regex/ in new.ignore + + Files and directories may be ignored based on regular expressions. + +Allow `notmuch insert --folder=""` + + This inserts into the top level folder. + +Strip trailing '/' from folder path for notmuch insert + + This prevents a potential problem with duplicated database records. + +New option --output=address for notmuch address + +Make `notmuch show` more robust against deleting duplicate files + +The option --decrypt now takes an explicit argument + + The --decrypt option to `notmuch show` and `notmuch reply` now takes + an explicit argument. If you were used to invoking `notmuch show + --decrypt`, you should switch to `notmuch show --decrypt=true`. + +Boolean and keyword arguments now take a `--no-` prefix + +Encrypted Mail +-------------- + +Indexing cleartext of encrypted e-mails + + It's now possible to include the cleartext of encrypted e-mails in + the notmuch index. This makes it possible to search your encrypted + e-mails with the same ease as searching cleartext. This can be done + on a per-message basis by passing --decrypt=true to indexing + commands (new, insert, reindex), or by default by running "notmuch + config set index.decrypt true". + + Encrypted messages whose cleartext is indexed will typically also + have their session keys stashed as properties associated with the + message. Stashed session keys permit rapid rendering of long + encrypted threads, and disposal of expired encryption-capable keys. + If for some reason you want cleartext indexing without stashed + session keys, use --decrypt=nostash for your indexing commands (or + run "notmuch config set index.decrypt nostash"). See `index.decrypt` + in notmuch-config(1) for more details. + + Note that stashed session keys permit reconstruction of the + cleartext of the encrypted message itself, and the contents of the + index are roughly equivalent to the cleartext as well. DO NOT USE + this feature without considering the security of your index. + +Emacs +----- + +Guard against concurrent searches in notmuch-tree + +Use make-process when available + + This allows newer Emacs to separate stdout and stderr from the + notmuch command without using temporary files. + +Library Changes +--------------- + +Indexing files with duplicate message-id + + Files with duplicate message-id's are now indexed, and searchable + via terms and phrases. There are known issues related to + presentation of results and regular-expression search, but in + principle no mail file should be completely unsearchable now. + +New functions to count files + + Two new functions in the libnotmuch API: + `notmuch_message_count_files`, and `notmuch_thread_get_total_files`. + +New function to remove properties + + A new function was added to the libnotmuch API to make it easier to + drop all properties with a common pattern: + `notmuch_message_remove_all_properties_with_prefix` + +Change of return value of `notmuch_thread_get_authors` + + In certain corner cases, `notmuch_thread_get_authors` previously + returned NULL. This has been replaced by an empty string, since the + possibility of NULL was not documented. + +Transition `notmuch_database_add_message` to `notmuch_database_index_file` + + When indexing an e-mail message, the new + `notmuch_database_index_file` function is the preferred form, and + the old `notmuch_database_add_message` is deprecated. The new form + allows passing a set of options to the indexing engine, which the + operator may decide to change from message to message. + +Test Suite +---------- + +Out-of-tree builds + + The test suite now works properly with out-of-tree builds, i.e. with + separate source and build directories. The --root option to tests + has been dropped. The same can now be achieved more reliably using + out-of-tree builds. + +Python Bindings +--------------- + +Python bindings specific Debian packaging is removed + + The bindings have been build by the top level Debian packaging for a + long time, and `bindings/python/debian` has bit-rotted. + +Open mail files in binary mode when using Python 3 + + This avoids certain encoding related crashes under Python 3. + +Add python bindings for `notmuch_database_{get,set}_config*` + +Optional `decrypt_policy` flag is available for notmuch.database().index_file() + +nmbug +----- + +nmbug's internal version increases to 0.3 in this notmuch release. +User-facing changes with this notmuch release: + +* Accept failures to unset `core.worktree` in `clone`, which allows + nmbug to be used with Git 2.11.0 and later. +* Auto-checkout in `clone` if it wouldn't clobber existing content, + which makes the initial clone more convenient. +* Only error for invalid diff lines in `tags/`, which allows for + `README`s and similar in nmbug repositories. + +Documentation +------------- + +New man page: notmuch-properties(7) + + This new page to the manual describes common conventions for how + properties are used by libnotmuch, the CLI, and associated programs. + External projects that use properties are encouraged to claim their + properties and conventions here to avoid collisions. + +Notmuch 0.25.3 (2017-12-08) +=========================== + +Emacs +----- + +Extend mitigation (disabling handling x-display in text/enriched) for +Emacs bug #28350 to Emacs versions before 24.4 (i.e. without +`advice-add`). + +Command Line Interface +---------------------- + +Correctly report userid validity. Fix test suite failure for GMime >= +3.0.3. This change raises the minimum supported version of GMime 3.x +to 3.0.3. + +Notmuch 0.25.2 (2017-11-05) +=========================== + +Command Line Interface +---------------------- + +Fix segfault in notmuch-show crypto handling when compiled against +GMime 2.6; this was a regression in 0.25. + +General +------- + +Support for GMime before 3.0 is now deprecated, and will be removed in +a future release. + +Notmuch 0.25.1 (2017-09-11) +=========================== + +Emacs +----- + +Disable handling x-display in text/enriched messages.
