This meant that messages +with overlong or missing message-ids were given different computed +message-ids than on more common little endian architectures like i386 +and amd64. If you use notmuch on a big endian architecture, you are +strongly advised to make a backup of your tags using `notmuch dump` +before this upgrade. You can locate the affected files using something +like: + + notmuch dump | \ + awk '/^notmuch-sha1-[0-9a-f]{40} / \ + {system("notmuch search --exclude=false --output=files id:" $1)}' + +Command-Line Interface +---------------------- + +New options to better support handling duplicate messages + + If more than one message file is associated with a message-id, + `notmuch search --output=files` will print all of them. A new + `--duplicate=N` option can be used to specify which duplicate to + print for each message. + + `notmuch count` now supports `--output=files` option to output the + number of files associated with matching messages. This may be + bigger than the number of matching messages due to duplicates + (i.e. multiple files having the same message-id). + +Improved `notmuch new` performance for unchanged folders + + `notmuch new` now skips over unchanged folders more efficiently, + which can substantially improve the performance of checking for new + mail in some situations (like NFS-mounted Maildirs). + +`notmuch reply --format=text` RFC 2047-encodes headers + + Previously, this used a mix of standard MIME encoding for the reply + body and UTF-8 for the headers. Now, the text format reply template + RFC 2047-encodes the headers, making the output a valid RFC 2822 + message. The JSON/sexp format is unchanged. + +`notmuch compact` command + + The new `compact` command exposes Xapian's compaction + functionality through a more convenient interface than + `xapian-compact`. `notmuch compact` will compact the database to a + temporary location, optionally backup the original database, and + move the compacted database into place. + +Emacs Interface +--------------- + +`notmuch-tree` (formerly `notmuch-pick`) has been added to mainline + + `notmuch-tree` is a 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. + + Using `notmuch-tree` + + The main key entries to notmuch tree are + + 'z' enter a query to view using notmuch tree (works in hello, + search, show and tree mode itself) + + 'Z' view the current query in tree notmuch tree (works from search + and show) + + Once in tree mode, keybindings are mostly in line with the rest of + notmuch and are all viewable with '?' as usual. + + Customising `notmuch-tree` + + `notmuch-tree` has several customisation variables. The most + significant is the first notmuch-tree-show-out which determines the + behaviour when selecting a message (with RET) in tree view. By + default tree view uses a split window showing the single message in + the bottom pane. However, if this option is set then it views the + whole thread in the complete window jumping to the selected message + in the thread. In either case command-prefix selects the other option. + +Tagging threads in search is now race-free + + Previously, adding or removing a tag from a thread in a search + buffer would affect messages that had arrived after the search was + performed, resulting in, for example, archiving messages that were + never seen. Tagging now affects only the messages that were in the + thread when the search was performed. + +`notmuch-hello` refreshes when switching to the buffer + + The hello buffer now refreshes whenever you switch to the buffer, + regardless of how you get there. You can disable automatic + refreshing by customizing `notmuch-hello-auto-refresh`. + +Specific mini-buffer prompts for tagging operations + + When entering tags to add or remove, the mini-buffer prompt now + indicates what operation will be performed (e.g., "Tag thread", "Tag + message", etc). + +Built-in help improvements + + Documentation for many commands has been improved, as displayed by + `notmuch-help` (usually bound to "?"). The bindings listed by + `notmuch-help` also now include descriptions of prefixed commands. + +Quote replies as they are displayed in show view + + We now render the parts for reply quoting the same way they are + rendered for show. At this time, the notable change is that replies + to text/calendar are now pretty instead of raw vcalendar. + +Fixed inconsistent use of configured search order + + All ways of interactively invoking search now honor the value of + `notmuch-search-oldest-first`. + +Common keymap for notmuch-wide bindings + + Several key bindings have been moved from mode-specific keymaps to + the single `notmuch-common-keymap`, which is inherited by each + notmuch mode. If you've customized your key bindings, you may want + to move some of them to the common keymap. + +The `notmuch-tag` function now requires a list of tag changes + + For users who have scripted the Emacs interface: the `notmuch-tag` + API has changed. Previously, it accepted either a list of tag + changes or a space-separated string of tag changes. The latter is + no longer supported and the function now returns nothing. + +Fixed `notmuch-reply` putting reply in primary selection + + On emacs 24 notmuch-reply used to put the cited text into the + primary selection (which could lead to inadvertently pasting this + cited text elsewhere). Now the primary-selection is not changed. + +Fixed `notmuch-show` invisible part handling + + In some obscure cases part buttons and invisibility had strange + interactions: in particular, the default action for some parts gave + the wrong action. This has been fixed. + +Fixed `notmuch-show` attachment viewers and stderr + + In emacs 24.3+ viewing an attachment could cause spurious text to + appear in the show buffer (any stderr or stdout the viewer + produced). By default this output is now discarded. For debugging, + setting `notmuch-show-attachment-debug` causes notmuch to keep the + viewer's stderr and stdout in a separate buffer. + +Fixed `notmuch-mua-reply` point placement when signature involved + + By restricting cursor movement to body section for cursor placement + after signature is inserted, the cursor cannot "leak" to header + section anymore. Now inserted citation content will definitely go to + the body part of the message. + +Vim Interface +------------- + + It is now possible to compose new messages in the Vim interface, as + opposed reply to existing messages. There is also support for + going straight to a search (bypassing the folders view). + +Notmuch 0.16 (2013-08-03) +========================= + +Command-Line Interface +---------------------- + +Support for delivering messages to Maildir + + There is a new command `insert` that adds a message to a Maildir + folder and notmuch index. `notmuch count --batch` option `notmuch count` now supports batch operations similar to `notmuch tag`.
