* build: Add support for non-source-directory builds.Gravatar Carl Worth2011-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Such as: mkdir build cd build ../configure make This is implemented by having the configure script set a srcdir variable in Makefile.config, and then sprinkling $(srcdir) into various make rules. We also use vpath directives to convince GNU make to find the source files from the original source directory.
* TODO: Add item for the build system to support a non-source-dir buildGravatar Carl Worth2011-03-09
| | | | | This would be a handy feature that many people would expect to just work.
* TODO: Note that folder: has now been implemented.Gravatar Carl Worth2011-01-26
| | | | | This feature has been mentioned in the TODO file (more than once) for quite some time now.
* TODO: Note missing keybindings for next/previous thread in emacs client.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-11-23
| | | | Seems a fairly obvious shortcoming to have survived this long.
* TODO: Add several items recently mentioned on the mailing list.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-11-16
| | | | | Getting things listed here means that I can safely archive away those messages without worrying that the ideas will get lost.
* TODO: Add idea for notmuch-bcc and notmuch-cc variables.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-11-05
| | | | | To more easily support those folks that want to Bcc with every message.
* configure: Test for each compiler warning before enabling it.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-10-30
| | | | | This should allow the build to be much more automatically portable to compilers with different sets of warning options.
* Makefile: Fix notmuch binary to directly link against Xapian and GMime.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-10-29
| | | | | | Without this, trying to link with the gold linker would fail, (which meant that notmuch could not be compiled out of the box on recent Fedora, nor even on Debian when the binutils-gold package is installed).
* notmuch search: Add a new --output=(summary|threads|messages|tags) option.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-10-28
| | | | | This can be handy for scripts which need to extract just a thread ID from a search term, for example.
* TODO: Remove several items that have been completed.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-10-28
| | | | | We've done a lot of work recently without also taking care to update the TODO file to indicate the progress.
* TODO: Note idea for a new "notmuch compose"Gravatar Carl Worth2010-10-27
| | | | | | Which would also allow the recently added test of sending an email message with the emacs interface to be a little more honest about the From address.
* TODO: Add some notes to fix some recently noted problems.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-10-12
| | | | Just don't want to forget about things that people have pointed out.
* TODO: Add idea for fixing "notmuch count" to always be exact.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-06-01
| | | | | | I had previously thought Xapian only offered an estimate for the number of results that might match a search. But Olly let me know that we can easily ask for Xapian to provide the exact count.
* TODO: Add a note that 'a'rchive should only affect open messages.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-06-01
| | | | To avoid accidentally archiving messages that have not been read.
* TODO: Add some ideas for notmuch-hello cleanups.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-26
| | | | | I discussed these on the list while wrapping up the 0.3 release. They may not make it in for that, but I don't want to forget them at least.
* TODO: Add idea to make content available to isearch in search-results mode.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-26
| | | | | | We can't fit all the authors and the various changed subjects in 80 columns, but it would be great is isearch could still find these, (and automatically expand the hidden content as necessary).
* TODO: Add two tasks that both have to do with auditing the library APIGravatar Carl Worth2010-04-15
| | | | | | | It was noted today in IRC that libnotmuch is not yet careful about wrapping all Xapian calls with try/catch blocks to print nicer error messages. It seems it would be natural to audit that at the same time as doing the symbol-hiding work.
* TODO: Add some ideas for improving the emacs interface.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-15
| | | | | | | | One of these is a bad bug I noticed this morning, (archiving messages I had never read when going through a search of "tag:inbox and tag:to-me" and hitting space bar). The other ideas came from recent conversations with Dirk and Eric.
* TODO: Add some ideas about better search syntaxGravatar Carl Worth2010-04-15
| | | | | | Recent coding around the "*" feature suggests some improvements that we could make, (some of which might push us into writing a custom query parser rather than using the one that exists in Xapian).
* TODO: Capture some recent ideas expressed on the mailing list.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-13
| | | | | | There's a potential simplification of notmuch-reply.c and some emacs improvements that might require extending message-mode to a notmuch-message-mode.
* TODO: Note GMime bug that needs to be tested and upstreamed.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-13
| | | | | This bug was recently noted in a commit message, so we should hold onto it until we've passed it along to the GMime project.
* TODO: Make an explicit note that we need to start testing --format=jsonGravatar Carl Worth2010-04-13
| | | | | | The recent fix to handle utf8 in the JSON output is the kind of bug I'd never like to see again, (so that I'd like the test suite to be helping us track that).
* TODO: Note several changes we want to make to the database schema.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-13
| | | | | Since database upgrades can be fairly painful, we'll want to do all of these within a single release.
* TODO: Note that "notmuch reply" needs to be tested.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-06
| | | | This is a feature that we just added without a test case.
* TODO: Add notes on removing "notmuch part" and "notmuch search-tags".Gravatar Carl Worth2010-04-03
| | | | Both of these ideas were recently discussed on the mailing list.
* TODO: Note that '=' should sometimes count from the end of the buffer.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-03-31
| | | | | | | When trying to restore the current position, if the "current" thread no longer appears in the buffer, then '=' moves to the current line instead. When near the end of the buffer, the "current" line should be counted as the number of lines from the end.
* TODO: Add a todo item for adding a message as a blob, rather than a filename.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-03-31
| | | | | This was suggested by Srinivasa and is intended to make it easier to integrate notmuch into an mbox-loving mail client.
* TODO: Add some new items about improving the test suite.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-03-31
| | | | | | | | I just tried (and failed) to write a test for the recent magic inference of phrase searches. That's a feature that makes me *really* uncomfortable to not have an automated test. But I believe the proposed modularization of the test suite should reduce some quoting nightmares, so will hopefully make this easier.
* TODO: Add proposal for a saved-search interface.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-03-09
| | | | Adding this to our TODO list so that it doesn't get forgotten.
* TODO: Remove many items that have been completed recently.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-03-09
| | | | | | | | | There's been a lot of good work done, and we've been doing a generally poor job of noticing when some of the tasks we've completed were already on our TODO list. So here's a careful scan, removing all items I could find that have already been done.
* TODO: We should fix the --format=json option to not imply --entire-thread.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-02-23
| | | | | What we print and how we print it are orthogonal options, so --format shouldn't change what messages are printed.
* TODO: Rename the proposed --for option to --outputGravatar Carl Worth2010-02-23
| | | | | | We've been using --output in IRC and on the mailing list for a while, (someone had the good sense to point out that --for would defeat command-line completion since it's a prefix of the proposed --format).
* TODO: Add some recently discussed items.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-02-09
| | | | | | These were collected either from the mailing list of from IRC conversations. The good ideas probably aren't mine, and the mistakes probably are.
* TODO: Add a couple of ideas that came up during recent coding.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-01-07
| | | | | The notmuch_query_count_messages functions duplicates a lot of code undesirably.
* emacs: Fix '+' and '-' in case of thread no longer matching current search.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similar to the way thread-viewing was broken after a thread was archived, (and recently fixed), tag manipulation has also been broken when the thread no longer matches the current search. This also means that the behavior of '+' and '-' are now different than that of '*'. The '+' and '-' bindings now return to the previous behavior old affecting all messages in the thread, (and not simply those matching the search). I actually prefer this behavior, since otherwise a '-' operation on a thread might not actually remove the tag from the thread, (since it could operate on a subset of the thread and not hit all messages with the given tag). So I'd now like to fix '*' to be consistent with '+' and '-', for which we add an item to TODO.
* TODO: Add idea for an --exclude-threads options to "notmuch search".Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-09
| | | | | | This would provide support for "muted" threads, as well as allowing for negative filtering based on messages not matched by the original search, (but present in threads that do have at least one matched message).
* TODO: Note that we should report when two "copies" of a message differ.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-08
| | | | | Marten Veldthuis pointed out on the mailing list that intentional spoofing is something that the user should be told about.
* TODO: Note about adding "notmuch search --matching"Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-04
| | | | | | | | This bug was recently discussed on the mailing list: id:878wdifu13.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org so note one idea for fixing it.
* TODO, emacs: Correct a few typos.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-03
| | | | Sometime I'll stop misspelling things so much, honets.
* TODO: Add some tasks, delete some tasks.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A new item from IRC discussion, (speeding up "notmuch restore"), as well as a bug I just hit myself, (content from citations is not being indexed). While here, notce that several items have recently been completed ('?' now displays documentation, not function names; we have a search binding from notmush-show-mode; and "notmuch new" responds to SIGINT by flushing). Finally, the item regarding optimizing chunky searching is irrelevant since we dropped chunky searching in favor of the much better streamed searching.
* Makefile: Incorporate getline implementation into the build.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-01
| | | | | It's unconditional for a very short time. We expect to soon be building it only if necessary.
* xutil: Implement xstrndup without relying on strndup.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-12-01
| | | | | | | | Since we need to do this for portability, (some systems don't have a strndup function), we might as well do it unconditionally. There's almost no disadvantage to doing so, and this has the advantages of not requiring a configure-time check nor having two different implementations, one of which would often be less tested.
* TODO: A read-only file in the mail store should be a warning, not an error.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-26
| | | | | It's a bug that processing currently stops when it hits a read-only file. This is yet another case we'll want our test suite to cover.
* Testing.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-25

* search : Extend "intial burst" optimization to return all results by chunksGravatar Carl Worth2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | This way, the user gets a steady (but bursty) stream of reults. We double the chunk size each time since each successive chunk has to redo work from all previous chunks. Of course, the overall time is thereby slower, as the price we pay for increased responsiveness. With a search returning about 17000 thread results I measured a total time of 48.8 seconds before this change and 58.4 seconds afterwards.
* Add rudimentary date-based search.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The rudimentary aspect here is that the date ranges are specified with UNIX timestamp values (number of seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC). One thing that can help here is using the date program to determins timestamps, such as: $(date +%s -d 2009-10-01)..$(date +%s) Long-term, we'll probably need to do our own query parsing to be able to support directly-specified dates and also relative expressions like "since:'2 months ago'".
* TODO: Yet another idea.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-23
| | | | | This is an idea I've had "forever" (and is commented as such in the code already), but just came up on the mailing list. So note it here.
* TODO: Add a couple of notes about things to do with/to Xapian.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-23
| | | | | | I had these notes sitting in an uncommitted file that was cluttering up my "git status" output. This cleans that up, and also shares the ideas with the wider community.
* TODO: Capturing even more ideas.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-23
| | | | | Hopefully soon I can start implementing ideas rather than just writing them down.
* TODO: A couple of more ideas for improving the emacs interface.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-23
| | | | We're not likely to run out of work to do anytime soon...
