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. This is + necessary to avoid using an old emacsclient with a new emacs, which + can result in buggy behavior. + Notmuch 0.14 (2012-08-20) =========================
