This + prevents other processes from writing to the database during the + dump which would cause the dump to fail. Note, if another notmuch + process already has the write lock the dump will not start, so + script callers should still check the return value. + +`notmuch insert` requires succesful message indexing for success status + + Previously the `notmuch insert` subcommand indicated success even if + the message indexing failed, as long as the message was delivered to + file system. This could have lead to delivered messages missing + tags, etc. `notmuch insert` is now more strict, also requiring + succesful indexing for success status. Use the new `--keep` option + to revert to the old behaviour (keeping the delivered message file + and returning success even if indexing fails). + +`notmuch insert` has gained support for `post-insert` hook + + The new `post-insert` hook is run after message delivery, similar to + `post-new`. There's also a new option `notmuch insert --no-hooks` to + skip the hook. See the notmuch-hooks(1) man page for details. + +`notmuch search` now supports `--duplicate=N` option with `--output=messages` + + Complementing the `notmuch search --duplicate=N --output=files` + options, the new `--duplicate=N --output=messages` combination + limits output of message IDs to messages matching search terms that + have at least `N` files associated with them. + +Added `notmuch address` subcommand + + This new subcommand searches for messages matching the given search + terms, and prints the addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are + filtered out. The `--output` option controls which of the following + information is printed: sender addresses, recipient addresses and + count of duplicate addresses. + +Emacs Interface +--------------- + +Use the `j` key to access saved searches from anywhere in notmuch + + `j` is now globally bound to `notmuch-jump`, which provides fast, + interactive keyboard shortcuts to saved searches. For example, + with the default saved searches `j i` from anywhere in notmuch will + bring up the inbox. + +Improved handling of the unread tag + + Notmuch now marks an open message read (i.e., removes the unread + tag) if point enters the message at any time in a show buffer + regardless of how point got there (mouse click, cursor command, page + up/down, notmuch commands such as n,N etc). This fixes various + anomalies or bugs in the previous handling. Additionally it is + possible to customize the mark read handling by setting + `notmuch-show-mark-read-function` to a custom function. + +Expanded default saved search settings + + The default saved searches now include several more common searches, + as well as shortcut keys for `notmuch-jump`. + +Improved `q` binding in notmuch buffers + + `q` will now bury rather than kill a notmuch search, show or tree + buffer if there are multiple windows showing the buffer. If only a + single window is showing the buffer, it is killed. + +`notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports functions + + Some list archives may use a more complicated scheme for referring + to messages than just concatenated URL and message ID. For example, + patchwork requires a query to translate message ID to a patchwork + patch ID. `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports + functions to better cover such cases. See the help documentation for + the variable for details. + +Library changes +--------------- + +Introduced database version 3 with support for "database features." + + Features are independent aspects of the database schema. + Representing these independently of the database version number will + let us evolve the database format faster and more incrementally, + while maintaining better forwards and backwards compatibility. + +Library users are no longer required to call `notmuch_database_upgrade` + + Previously, library users were required to call + `notmuch_database_needs_upgrade` and `notmuch_database_upgrade` + before using a writable database. Even the CLI didn't get this + right, and it is no longer required. Now, individual APIs may + return `NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED` if the database format is + too out of date for that API. + +Library users can now abort an atomic section by closing the database + + Previously there was no supported way to abort an atomic section. + Callers can now simply close the database, and any outstanding + atomic section will be aborted. + +Add return status to notmuch_database_close and +notmuch_database_destroy + +Bug fixes and performance improvements for thread linking + + The database now represents missing-but-referenced messages ("ghost + messages") similarly to how it represents regular messages. This + enables an improved thread linking algorithm that performs better + and fixes a bug that sometimes prevented notmuch from linking + messages into the same thread. + +nmbug +----- + +The Perl script has been translated to Python; you'll need Python 2.7 +or anything from the 3.x line. Most of the user-facing interface is +the same, but `nmbug help` is not `nmbug --help`, and the following nmbug +commands have slightly different interfaces: `archive`, `commit`, +`fetch`, `log`, `pull`, `push`, and `status`. For details on the +new interface for a given command, run `nmbug COMMAND --help`. + +nmbug-status +------------ + +`nmbug-status` can now optionally load header and footer templates +from the config file. Use something like: + + { + "meta": { + "header": "\n\n...", + "footer": "", + ... + }, + ... + }, + +Python Bindings +--------------- + +Add support for `notmuch_query_add_tag_exclude` + +Build System +------------ + +The notmuch binaries and libraries are now build with debugging symbols +by default.
