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 +----- + +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.

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:..!` shorthand for +`date:..` + + 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).
