Saved searches in *Emacs* have also been enhanced to allow +distinct search orders for each one. Another enhancement to the +*Emacs* interface is that replies to encrypted messages are now +encrypted, reducing the risk of unintentional information disclosure. +The default dump output format has changed to the more robust +`batch-tag` format. The previously deprecated parsing of single +message mboxes has been removed. For detailed release notes, see +below. + +General +------- + +The `folder:` search prefix now requires an exact match + + The `folder:` prefix has been changed to search for email messages + by the exact, case sensitive maildir or MH folder name. Wildcard + matching (`folder:foo*`) is no longer supported. The new behaviour + allows for more accurate mail folder based searches, makes it + possible to search for messages in the top-level folder, and should + lead to less surprising results than the old behaviour. Users are + advised to see the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details, + and review how the change affects their existing `folder:` searches. + +There is a new `path:` search prefix. + + The new `path:` search prefix complements the `folder:` prefix. The + `path:` prefix searches for email messages that are in particular + directories within the mail store, optionally recursively using a + special syntax. See the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for + details. + +Notmuch database upgrade due to `folder:` and `path:` changes + + The above mentioned changes to the `folder:` prefix and the addition + of `path:` prefix require a Notmuch database upgrade. 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. + +Library changes +--------------- + +Notmuch database upgrade + + The libnotmuch consumers are reminded to handle database upgrades + properly, either by relying on running `notmuch new`, or checking + `notmuch_database_needs_upgrade()` and calling + `notmuch_database_upgrade()` as necessary. This has always been the + case, but in practise there have been no database upgrades in any + released version of Notmuch before now. + +Support for indexing mbox files has been dropped + + There has never been proper support for mbox files containing + multiple messages, and the support for single-message mbox files has + been deprecated since Notmuch 0.15. The support has now been + dropped, and all mbox files will be rejected during indexing. + +Message header parsing changes + + Notmuch previously had an internal parser for message headers. The + parser has now been dropped in favour of letting GMime parse both + the headers and the message MIME structure at the same pass. This is + mostly an internal change, but the GMime parser is stricter in its + interpretation of the headers. This may result in messages with + slightly malformed message headers being now rejected. + Command-Line Interface ---------------------- @@ -12,6 +213,25 @@ Command-Line Interface This option suppresses the progress and summary reports. +`notmuch insert` respects maildir.synchronize_flags config option + + Do not synchronize tags to maildir flags in `notmuch insert` if the + user does not want it. + +The commands set consistent exit status codes on failures + + The cli commands now consistently set exit status of 1 on failures, + except where explicitly otherwise noted.
