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. + +`notmuch count --batch` option + + `notmuch count` now supports batch operations similar to `notmuch + tag`. This is mostly an optimization for remote notmuch usage. + +Configuration file saves follow symbolic links + + The notmuch commands that save the configuration file now follow + symbolic links instead of overwrite them. + +`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. + +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. + +Top level option to redirect writes to stderr + + With `notmuch --stderr=FILE` all writes to stderr are redirected to + the specified file. If FILE is '-', stderr is redirected to stdout. + +Deprecated commands "part" and "search-tags" are removed. + +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. + +Vim Front-End +------------- + +The vim based front end to notmuch is deprecated and moved to contrib. +We haven't been able to support this as well as we would like, and it +has accumulated bugs and gaps in functionality. We recommend that +people packaging notmuch no longer provide binary packages for +notmuch-vim, but of course that is their decision. + +Emacs Interface +--------------- + +New keymap to view/save parts + + To view or save a single MIME part of a message, use the new "." + submap (e.g., ". s" to save, ". v" to view). Previously, these keys + were only available when point was on a part button and they did not + have the "." prefix, so they were difficult to invoke (impossible if + a part did not have a button) and clashed with other bindings. + These new bindings also appear in show's help, so you don't 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`. + +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 results + + Communication between search mode 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. + +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. + +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. + +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:..`. Notmuch + supports a wide variety of expressions in `` and + ``. 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.
