This means that dtach is now +needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for +prerequisites is improved. + +New command-line features +------------------------- + +Add "notmuch restore --accumulate" option + + The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be + applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from + the dump file. + +Add search terms to "notmuch dump" + + The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch + search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in + favour of using stdout. + +Optimizations +------------- + +Search avoids opening and parsing message files + + We now store more information in the database so search no longer + has to open every message file to get basic headers. This can + improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this + requires a database rebuild: + + notmuch dump > notmuch.dump + # Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch) + notmuch new + notmuch restore notmuch.dump + +Notmuch 0.9 (2011-10-01) +======================== + +New, general features +--------------------- + +Correct handling of interruptions during "notmuch new" + + "notmuch new" now operates as a series of small, self-consistent + transactions, so it can correctly resume after an interruption or + crash. Previously, interruption could lose existing tags, fail to + detect messages on resume, or leave the database in a state + temporarily or permanently inconsistent with the mail store. + +Library changes +--------------- + +New functions + + notmuch_database_begin_atomic and notmuch_database_end_atomic allow + multiple database operations to be performed atomically. + + notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename does exactly what it says. + +API changes + + notmuch_database_find_message (and n_d_f_m_by_filename) now return + a status indicator and uses an output parameter for the + message. This change required changing the SONAME of libnotmuch to + libnotmuch.so.2 + +Python bindings changes +----------------------- + + - Re-encode python unicode objects to utf-8 before passing back to + libnotmuch. + - Support Database().begin_atomic()/end_atomic() + - Support Database().find_message_by_filename() + NB! This needs a db opened in READ-WRITE mode currently, or it will crash + the python process. The is a limitation (=bug) of the underlying libnotmuch. + - Fixes where we would not throw NotmuchErrors when we should (Justus Winter) + - Update for n_d_find_message* API changes (see above). + +Ruby bindings changes +--------------------- + + - Wrap new library functions notmuch_database_{begin,end}_atomic. + - Add new exception Notmuch::UnbalancedAtomicError. + - Rename destroy to destroy! according to Ruby naming conventions. + - Update for n_d_find_message* API changes (see above). + +Emacs improvements +------------------ + + * Add gpg callback to crypto sigstatus buttons to retrieve/refresh + signing key. + * Add notmuch-show-refresh-view function (and corresponding binding) + to refresh the view of a notmuch-show buffer. + +Reply formatting cleanup +------------------------ + + "notmuch reply" no longer includes notification that non-leafnode + MIME parts are being suppressed. + +Notmuch 0.8 (2011-09-10) +======================== + +Improved handling of message/rfc822 parts + + Both in the CLI and the emacs interface. Output of rfc822 parts now + includes the primary headers, as well as the body and all subparts. + Output of the completely raw rfc822-formatted message, including all + headers, is unfortunately not yet supported (but hopefully will be + soon). + +Improved Build system portability + + Certain parts of the shell script generating notmuch.sym were + specific to the GNU versions of sed and nm. The new version should + be more portable to e.g. OpenBSD. + +Documentation update for Ruby bindings + + Added documentation, typo fixes, and improved support for rdoc. + +Unicode, iterator, PEP8 changes for python bindings + + - PEP8 (code formatting) changes for python files. + - Remove Tags.__len__ ; see 0.6 release notes for motivation. + - Decode headers as UTF8, encode (unicode) database paths as UTF8. + +Notmuch 0.7 (2011-08-01) +======================== + +Vim interface improvements +-------------------------- + +Jason Woofenden provided a number of bug fixes for the Vim interface + + * fix citation/signature fold lengths + * fix cig/cit parsing within multipart/* + * fix on-screen instructions for show-signature + * fix from list reformatting in search view + * fix space key: now archives (did opposite) + +Uwe Kleine-König contributed + + * use full path for sendmail/doc fix + * fix compose temp file name + +Python Bindings changes +----------------------- + +Sebastian Spaeth contributed two changes related to unicode and UTF8: + + * message tags are now explicitly unicode + * query string is encoded as a UTF8 byte string + +Build-System improvments +------------------------ + +Generate notmuch.sym after the relevant object files + + This fixes a bug in parallel building. Thanks to Thomas Jost for the + patch. + Notmuch 0.6.1 (2011-07-17) ==========================
