Notmuch 0.11 (201x-xx-xx)
=========================
Command-Line Interface
----------------------
Hooks
Hooks have been introduced to notmuch. Hooks are scripts that notmuch
invokes before and after certain actions. Initially, "notmuch new"
supports "pre-new" and "post-new" hooks that are run before and after
importing new messages into the database.
notmuch reply --decrypt bugfix
The "notmuch reply" command with --decrypt argument had a rarely
occurring bug that caused an encrypted message not to be decrypted
sometimes. This is now fixed.
Performance
-----------
Automatic tag query optimization
"notmuch tag" now automatically optimizes the user's query to
exclude messages whose tags won't change. In the past, we've
suggested that people do this by hand; this is no longer necessary.
Don't sort messages when creating a dump file
This speeds up tag dumps considerably, without any loss of
information. To replicate the old behavior of sorted output (for
example to compare two dump files), one can use e.g. sort(1).
Memory Management
-----------------
Reduction of memory leaks
Two memory leaks when searching and showing messages were identified
and fixed in this release.
Emacs Interface
---------------
Bug fixes
notmuch-show-advance (bound to the spacebar in notmuch-show-mode) had
a bug that caused it to always jump to the next message, even if it
should have scrolled down to show more of the current message instead.
This is now fixed.
Support "notmuch new" as a notmuch-poll-script
It's now possible to use "notmuch new" as a notmuch-poll-script
directly. This is also the new default. This allows taking better
advantage of the "notmuch new" hooks from emacs without intermediate
scripts.
Improvements in saved search management
New saved searches are now appended to the list of saved searches,
not inserted in front. It's also possible to define a sort function
for displaying saved searches; alphabetical sort is provided.
Hooks for notmuch-hello
Two new hooks have been added: "notmuch-hello-mode-hook" (called after
entering notmuch-hello-mode) and "notmuch-hello-refresh-hook" (called
after updating a notmuch-hello buffer).
New face for crypto parts headers
Crypto parts used to be displayed with a hardcoded color. A new face
has been introduced to fix this: notmuch-crypto-part-header. It
defaults to the same value as before, but can be customized to match
other color themes.
Use space as default thousands separator
Large numbers in notmuch-hello are now displayed using a space as
thousands separator (e.g. "123 456" instead of "123,456"). This can be
changed by customizing "notmuch-hello-thousands-separator".
Call notmuch-show instead of notmuch-search when clicking on
buttonized id: links.
New function notmuch-show-advance
This new function advances through just the current thread, and is
less invasive than notmuch-show-advance-and-archive. It can easily
be bound to SPC with:
(define-key notmuch-show-mode-map " " 'notmuch-show-advance)
Various performance improvements.
New add-on tool
---------------
The tool contrib/notmuch-deliver helps with initial delivery and
tagging of mail (replacing running notmuch new).
Notmuch 0.10.2 (2011-12-04)
===========================
Bug-fix release.
----------------
Fix crash in python bindings.
The python bindings did not call g_type_init, which caused crashes
for some, but not all users.
Notmuch 0.10.1 (2011-11-25)
===========================
Bug-fix release.
----------------
Fix --help argument
Argument processing changes in 0.10 introduced a bug where "notmuch
--help" crashed while "notmuch help" worked fine. This is fixed in
0.10.1.
Notmuch 0.10 (2011-11-23)
=========================
New build and testing features
------------------------------
Emacs tests are now done in dtach. This means that dtach is now
needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for
prerequisites is improved.
Full test coverage of the stashing feature in Emacs.
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.
Add "notmuch search" --offset and --limit options
The search command now takes options --offset=[-]N and --limit=N to limit
the number of results shown.
Add "notmuch count --output" option
The count command is now capable of counting threads in addition to
messages. This is selected using the new --output=(threads|messages) option.
New emacs UI features
---------------------
Add tab-completion for notmuch-search and notmuch-search-filter
These functions now support completion tags for query parts
starting with "tag:".
Turn "id:MSG-ID" links into buttons associated with notmuch searches
Text of the form "id:MSG-ID" in mails is now a clickable button that
opens a notmuch search for the given message id.
Add keybinding ('c I') for stashing Message-ID's without an id: prefix
Reduces manual labour when stashing them for use outside notmuch.
Do not query on notmuch-search exit
It is harmless to kill the external notmuch process, so the user
is no longer interrogated when they interrupt a search.
Performance
-----------
Emacs now constructs large search buffers more efficiently
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
New collection of add-on tools
------------------------------
The source directory "contrib" contains tools built on notmuch. These
tools are not part of notmuch, and you should check their individual
licenses. Feel free to report problems with them to the notmuch
mailing list.
nmbug - share tags with a given prefix
nmbug helps maintain a git repo containing all tags with a given
prefix (by default "notmuch::"). Tags can be shared by commiting
them to git in one location and restoring in another.
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 improvements
------------------------
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)
==========================
Bug-fix release.
----------------
Re-export Xapian exception typeinfo symbols.
It turned out our aggressive symbol hiding caused problems for
people running gcc 4.4.5.
Notmuch 0.6 (2011-07-01)
=======================
New, general features
---------------------
Folder-based searching
Notmuch queries can now include a search term to match the
directories in which mail files are stored (within the mail
storage). The syntax is as follows:
folder:<path>
For example, one might use things such as:
folder:spam
folder:2011-*
folder:work/todo
to match any path containing a directory "spam", "work/todo", or
containing a directory starting with "2011-", respectively.
This feature is particularly useful for users of delivery-agent
software (such as procmail or maildrop) that is filtering mail and
delivering it to particular folders, or users of systems such as
Gmail that use filesystem directories to indicate message tags.
NOTE: Only messages that are newly indexed with this version of
notmuch will be searchable with folder: terms. In order to enable
this feature for all mail, the entire notmuch index will need to be
rebuilt as follows:
notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
# Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
notmuch new
notmuch restore notmuch.dump
Support for PGP/MIME
Both the command line interface and the emacs-interface have new
support for PGP/MIME, detailed below. Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor
and Jameson Graef Rollins for making this happen.
New, automatic tags: "signed" and "encrypted"
These tags will automatically be applied to messages containing
multipart/signed and multipart/encrypted parts.
NOTE: Only messages that are newly indexed with this version of
notmuch will receive these tags.
New command-line features
-------------------------
Add new "notmuch show --verify" option for signature verification
This option instruct notmuch to verify the signature of
PGP/MIME-signed parts.
Add new "notmuch show --decrypt" and "notmuch reply --decrypt" options
This option instructs notmuch to decrypt PGP/MIME-encrypted parts.
Note that this feature currently requires gpg-agent and a passphrase entry
tool (e.g. pinentry-gtk or pinentry-curses).
Proper nesting of multipart parts in "notmuch show" output
MIME parts are now display with proper nesting to reflect original
MIME hierarchy of a message. This allows clients to correctly
analyze the MIME structure, (such as, for example, determining to
which parts a signature part applies).
Add new "notmuch show --part" option
This is a replacement for the older "notmuch part" command, (which
is now deprecated—it should still work as always, but is no longer
documented). Putting part output under "notmuch show" allows for all
of the "notmuch show" options to be applied when extracting a single
part, (such as --format=json for extracting a message part with JSON
formatting).
Deprecate "notmuch search-tags", (in favor of "notmuch search --output=tags *")
The "notmuch search-tags" sub-command has been redundant since the
addition of the --output=tags option to "notmuch search". We now
make that more clear by deprecating "notmuch search-tags", (dropping
it from the documentation). We do continue to support the old syntax
by translating it internally to the new call.
Performance improvements
------------------------
Faster searches (by doing fewer searches to construct threads)
Whenever a user asks for search results as threads, notmuch first
performs a search for messages matching the query, then performs
additional searches to find other messages in the resulting threads.
Removing inefficiencies and redundancies in these secondary searches
results in a measured speedups of 1.5x for a typical search.
Faster searches (by doing fewer passes to gather message data)
Optimizing Xapian data access patterns (using a single pass to get
all message-document data rather than a pass for each data type)
results in a measured speedup of 1.7x for a typical search.
The benefits of this optimization combine with the preceding
optimization. With both in place, Austin Clements measured a speedup
of 2.5x for a search of all messages in his inbox (was 4.5s, now
1.8s). Thanks, Austin!
Faster initial indexing
More efficient indexing of new messages results in a measured
speedup of 1.4x for the initial indexing of 3 GB of mail (1h 14m
rather than 1h 46m). Thanks to Austin Clements and Michal Sojka.
Make "notmuch new" faster for unchanged directories
Optimizing to not do any further examinations of sub-directories
when the filesystem indicates that a directory is unchanged from the
last "notmuch new" results in measured speedups of 8.5 for the "No
new mail" case, (was 0.77s, now 0.09s). Thanks to Karel Zak.
New emacs-interface features
----------------------------
Support for PGP/MIME (GnuPG)
Automatically indicate validity of signatures for multipart/signed
messages. Automatically display decrypted content for
multipart/encrypted messages. See the emacs variable
notmuch-crypto-process-mime for more information. Note that this
needs gpg-agent and a pinentry tool just as the command line tools.
Also note there is no support SMIME yet.
Output of pipe command is now displayed if pipe command fails
This is extremely useful in the common use case of piping a patch to
"git am". If git fails to cleanly merge the patch the error messages
from the failed merge are now clearly displayed to the user, (where
previously they were silently hidden from the user).
User-selectable From address
A user can choose which configured email addresses should be used as
the From address whenever composing a new message. To do so, simply
press C-u before the command which will open a new message. Emacs
will prompt for the from address to use.
The user can customize the "Notmuch Identities" setting in the
notmuch customize group in order to use addresses other than those in
the notmuch configuration file if desired.
The user can also choose to always be prompted for the from address
when composing a new message (without having to use C-u) by setting
the "Notmuch Always Prompt For Sender" option in the notmuch
customize group.
Hiding of repeated subjects in collapsed thread view
In notmuch-show mode, if a collapsed message has the same subject as
its parent, the subject is not shown.
Automatic detection and hiding of original message in top-posted message
When a message contains a line looking something like:
----- Original Message -----
emacs hides this and all subsequent lines as an "original message",
(allowing the user to click or press enter on the "original message"
button to display it again). This makes the handling of top-posted
citations work much like conventional citations.
New hooks for running code when tags are modified
Some users want to perform additional actions whenever a particular
tag is added/removed from a message. This could be used to, for
example, interface with some external spam-recognition training
tool. To facilitate this, two new hooks are added which can be
modified in the following settings of the notmuch customize group:
Notmuch Before Tag Hook
Notmuch After Tag Hook
New optional support for hiding some multipart/alternative parts
Many emails are sent with redundant content within a
multipart/alternative group (such as a text/plain part as well as a
text/html part). Users can configure the setting:
Notmuch Show All Multipart/Alternative Parts
to "off" in the notmuch customize group to have the interface
automatically hide some part alternatives (such as text/html
parts). This new part hiding is not configured by default yet
because there's not yet a simple way to re-display such a hidden
part if it is not actually redundant with a displayed part.
Better rendering of text/x-vcalendar parts
These parts are now displayed in a format suitable for use with the
emacs diary.
Avoid getting confused by Subject and Author fields with newline characters
Replacing all characters with ASCII code less than 32 with a question mark.
Cleaner display of From line in email messages (remove double quotes,
and drop "name" if it's actually just a repeat of the email address).
Vim interface improvements
--------------------------
Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface:
* Using sendmail directly rather than mailx,
* Implementing archive in show view
* Add support to mark as read in show and search views
* Add delete commands
* Various cleanups.
Bindings improvements
---------------------
Ruby bindings are now much more complete
Including QUERY.sort, QUERY.to_s, MESSAGE.maildir_flags_to_tags,
MESSAGE.tags_to_maildir_flags, and MESSAGE.get_filenames
* Python bindings have been updated and extended
(docs online at http://packages.python.org/notmuch/)
New bindings:
- Message().get_filenames(),
- Message().tags_to_maildir_flags(),Message().maildir_flags_to_tags()
- list(Threads()) and list(Messages) works now
- Message().__cmp__() and __hash__()
These allow, for example:
if msg1 == msg2: ...
As well as set arithmetic on Messages():
s1, s2= set(msgs1), set(msgs2)
s1.union(s2)
s2 -= s1
Removed:
- len(Messages()) as it exhausted the iterator.
Use len(list(Messages())) or
Query.count_messages() to get the length.
Added initial Go bindings in bindings/go
New build-system features
-------------------------
Added support for building in a directory other than the source directory
This can be used with the widely-supported idiom of simply running
the configure script from some other directory:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Fix to save configure options for future, implicit runs of configure
When a user updates the source (such as with "git pull") calling
"make" may cause an automatic re-run of the configure script. When
this happens, the configure script will automatically be called with
the same options the user originally passed in the most-recent
manual invocation of configure.
New test-suite feature
----------------------
Binary for bash for running test suite now located via PATH.
The notmuch test suite requires a fairly recent version of bash (>=
bash 4). As some systems supply an older version of bash at
/bin/bash, the test suite is now updated to search $PATH to locate
the bash binary. This allows users of systems with old /bin/bash to
simply install bash >= 4 somewhere on $PATH before /bin and then use
the test suite.
Support for testing output with a trailing newline.
Previously, some tests would fail to notice a difference in the
presence/absence of a trailing newline in a program output, (which
has led to bugs in the past). Now, carefully-written tests (using
test_expect_equal_file rather than test_expect_equal) will detect
any change in the presence/absence of a trailing newline. Many tests
are updated to take advantage of this.
Avoiding accessing user's $HOME while running test suite
The test suite now carefully creates its own HOME directory. This
allows the test suite to be run with no existing HOME directory, (as
some build systems apparently do), and avoids test-suite differences
due to configuration files in the users HOME directory.
General bug fixes
-----------------
Output *all* files for "notmuch search --output=files"
For the cases where multiple files have the same Message ID,
previous versions of notmuch would output only one such file. This
command is now fixed to correctly output all files.
Fixed spurious search results from "overlapped" indexing of addresses
This fixed a bug where a search for:
to:user@elsewhere.com
would incorrectly match a message sent:
To: user@example,com, someone@elsewhere.com
Fix --output=json when search has no results
A bug present since notmuch 0.4 had caused searches with no results
to produce an invalid json object. This is now fixed to cleanly
return a valid json object representing an empty array "[]" as
expected.
fix the automatic detection of the From address for "notmuch reply"
from the Received headers in some cases.
Fix core dump on DragonFlyBSD due to -1 return value from
sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX).
Cleaned up several memory leaks
Eliminated a few, rare segmentation faults and a double-free.
Fix libnotmuch library to only export notmuch API functions
Previous release of the notmuch library also exported some Xapian
C++ exception type symbols. These were never part of the library
interface and were never intended to be exported.
Emacs-interface bug fixes
-------------------------
Display any unexpected output or errors from "notmuch search" invocations
Previously any misformatted output or trailing error messages were
silently ignored. This output is now clearly displayed. This fix was
very helpful in identifying and fixing the bug described below.
Fix bug where some threads would be missing from large search results
When a search returned a "large" number of results, the emacs
interface was incorrectly dropping one thread every time the output
of the "notmuch search" process spanned the emacs read-buffer. This
is now fixed.
Avoid re-compression of .gz files (and similar) when saving attachment
Emacs was being too clever for its own good and trying to
re-compress pre-compressed .gz files when saving such attachments
(potentially corrupting the attachment). The emacs interface is
fixed to avoid this bug.
Fix hiding of a message when a previously-hidden citation is visible
Previously the citation would remain visible in this case. This is
fixed so that hiding a message hides all parts.
Notmuch 0.5 (2010-11-11)
========================
New, general features
---------------------
Maildir-flag synchronization
Notmuch now knows how to synchronize flags in maildir filenames with
tags in the notmuch database. The following flag/tag mappings are
supported:
Flag <-> Tag
---- -----
'D' draft
'F' flagged
'P' passed
'R' replied
'S' unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
The synchronization occurs in both directions, (for example, adding
the 'S' flag to a file will cause the "unread" tag to be added, and
adding the "replied" tag to a message will cause the file to be
renamed with an 'R' flag).
This synchronization is enabled by default for users of the
command-line interface, (though only files in directories named
"cur" or "new" will be renamed). It can be disabled by setting the
new maildir.synchronize_flags option in the configuration file. For
example:
notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false
Users upgrading may also want to run "notmuch setup" once (just
accept the existing configuration) to get a new, nicely-commented
[maildir] section added to the configuration file.
For users of the notmuch library, the new synchronization
functionality is available with the following two new functions:
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
It is anticipated that future improvements to this support will
allow for safe synchronization of the 'T' flag with the "deleted"
tag, as well as support for custom flag/tag mappings.
New library features
--------------------
Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message
It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the
same message ID. Previously, notmuch would always hide these
duplicate files, (returning a single, arbitrary filename with
notmuch_message_get_filename).
With this release, library users can access all filenames for a
message with the new function:
notmuch_message_get_filenames
Together with notmuch_filenames_valid, notmuch_filenames_get, and
notmuch_filenames_move_to_next it is now possible to iterate over
all available filenames for a given message.
New command-line features
-------------------------
New "notmuch show --format=raw" for getting at original email contents
This new feature allows for a fully-functional email client to be
built on top of the notmuch command-line without needing any direct
access to the mail store itself.
For example, it's now possible to run "emacs -f notmuch" on a local
machine with only ssh access to the mail store/notmuch database. To
do this, simply set the notmuch-command variable in emacs to the
name of a script containing:
ssh user@host notmuch "$@"
If the ssh client has enabled connection sharing (ControlMaster
option in OpenSSH), the emacs interface can be quite responsive this
way.
General bug fixes
-----------------
Fix "notmuch search" to print nothing when nothing matches
The 0.4 release had a bug in which:
notmuch search <expression-with-no-matches>
would produce a single blank line of output, (where previous
versions would produce no output. This fix also causes a change in
the --format=json output, (which would previously produce "[]" and
now produces nothing).
Emacs interface improvements
----------------------------
Fix to allow pipe ('|') command to work when using notmuch over ssh
Fix count of lines in hidden signatures.
Omit repeated subject lines in (collapsed) thread display.
Display current thread subject in a header line.
Provide a "c i" binding to copy a thread ID from the search view.
Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil.
Also, the more complex form of notmuch-fcc-dirs now has a slightly
different format. It no longer has a special first-element, fallback
string. Instead it's now a list of cons cells where the car of each
cell is a regular expression to be matched against the sender
address, and the cdr is the name of a folder to use for an FCC. So
the old fallback behavior can be achieved by including a final cell
of (".*" . "default-fcc-folder").
Vim interface improvements
--------------------------
Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface.
These include optimizations, support for newer versions of vim, fixed
support for sending mail on modern systems, new commands, and
various cleanups.
New bindings
------------
Added initial ruby bindings in bindings/ruby
Notmuch 0.4 (2010-11-01)
========================
New command-line features
-------------------------
notmuch search --output=(summary|threads|messages|tags|files)
This new option allows for particular items to be returned from
notmuch searches. The "summary" option is the default and behaves
just as "notmuch search" has historically behaved.
The new option values allow for thread IDs, message IDs, lists of
tags, and lists of filenames to be returned from searches. It is
expected that this new option will be very useful in shell
scripts. For example:
for file in $(notmuch search --output=files <search-terms>); do
<operations-on> "$file"
done
notmuch show --format=mbox <search-specification>
This new option allows for the messages matching a search
specification to be presented as an mbox. Specifically the "mboxrd"
format is used which allows for reversible quoting of lines
beginning with "From ". A reader should remove a single '>' from the
beginning of all lines beginning with one or more '>' characters
followed by the 5 characters "From ".
notmuch config [get|set] <section>.<item> [value ...]
The new top-level "config" command allows for any value in the
notmuch configuration file to be queried or set to a new value. Both
single-valued and multi-valued items are supported, as our any
custom items stored in the configuration file.
Avoid setting Bcc header in "notmuch reply"
We decided that this was a bit heavy-handed as the actual mail
user-agent should be responsible for setting any Bcc option. Also,
see below for the notmuch/emacs user-agent now setting an Fcc by
default rather than Bcc.
New library features
--------------------
Add notmuch_query_get_query_string and notmuch_query_get_sort
These are simply functions for querying properties of a
notmuch_query_t object.
New emacs features
------------------
Enable Fcc of all sent messages by default (to "sent" directory)
All messages sent from the emacs interface will now be saved to the
notmuch mail store where they will be incorporated to the database
by the next "notmuch new". By default, messages are saved to the
"sent" directory at the top-level of the mail store. This directory
can be customized by means of the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" option in the
notmuch customize interface.
Ability to all open messages in a thread to a pipe
Historically, the '|' keybinding allows for piping a single message
to an external command. Now, by prefixing this key with a prefix
argument, (for example, by pressing "Control-U |"), all open
messages in the current thread will be sent to the external command.
Optional support for detecting inline patches
This hook is disabled by default but can be enabled with a checkbox
under "Notmuch Show Insert Text/Plain Hook" in the notmuch customize
interface. It allows for inline patches to be detected and treated
as if they were attachments, (with context-sensitive highlighting).
Automatically tag messages as "replied" when sending a reply
Messages replied to within the emacs interface will now be tagged as
"replied". This feature can easily be customized to add or remove
other tags as well. For example, a user might use a tag of
"needs-reply" and can configure this feature to automatically remove
that tag when replying. See "Notmuch Message Mark Replied" in the
notmuch customize interface.
Allow search-result color specifications to overlay each other
For example, one tag can specify the background color of matching
lines, while another can specify the foreground. With this change,
both settings will now be visible simultaneously, (which was not the
case in previous releases). See "Notmuch Search Line Faces" in the
notmuch customize interface.
Make hidden author names still available for incremental search.
When there is insufficient space to display all authors of a thread
in search results, the names of hidden authors are now still made
available to emacs' incremental search commands. As the user
searches, matching lines will temporarily expand to show the hidden
names.
New binding of Control-TAB (works like TAB in reverse)
Many notmuch nodes already use TAB to navigate forward through
various items allowing actions, (message headers, email attachments,
etc.). The new Control-TAB binding operates similarly but in the
opposite direction.
New build-system features
-------------------------
Various portability fixes have been applied
These include fixes for build failures on at least Solaris, FreeBSD,
and Fedora systems. We're hopeful that the notmuch code base is now
more portable than ever before.
Arrange for libnotmuch to be found automatically after make install
The notmuch build system is now careful to help the user avoid
errors of the form "libnotmuch.so could not be found" immediately
after installing. This support takes two forms:
1. If the library is installed to a system directory,
(configured in /etc/ld.so.conf), then "make install" will
automatically run ldconfig.
2. If the library is installed to a non-system directory, the
build system adds a DR_RUNPATH entry to the final binary
pointing to the directory to which the library is installed.
When this support works, the user should be able to run notmuch
immediately after "make install", without any errors trying to find
the notmuch library, and without having to manually set environment
variables such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Check compiler/linker options before using them
The configure script now carefully checks that any desired
compilation options, (whether for enabling compiler warnings, or for
embedding rpath, etc.), are supported. Only supported options are
used in the resulting Makefile.
New test-suite features
-----------------------
New modularization of test suite.
Thanks to a gracious relicensing of the test-suite infrastructure
from the git project, notmuch now has a modular test suite. This
provides the ability to run individual sections of the test suite
rather than the whole things. It also provides better summary of
test results, with support for tests that are expected to fail
(BROKEN and FIXED) in addition to PASS and FAIL. Finally, it makes
it easy to run the test suite within valgrind (pass --valgrind to
notmuch-test or to any sub-script) which has been very useful.
New testing of emacs interface.
The test suite has been augmented to allow automated testing of the
emacs interfaces. So far, this includes basic searches, display of
threads, and tag manipulation. This also includes a test that a new
message can successfully be sent out through a (dummy) SMTP server
and that said message is successfully integrated into the notmuch
database via the FCC setting.
General bug fixes
-----------------
Fix potential corruption of database when "notmuch new " is interrupted.
Previously, an interruption of "notmuch new" would (rarely) result
in a corrupt database. The corruption would manifest itself by a
persistent error of the form:
document ID of 1234 has no thread ID
The message-adding code has been carefully audited and reworked to
avoid this sort of corruption regardless of when it is interrupted.
Fix failure with extremely long message ID headers.
Previously, a message with an extremely long message ID, (say, more
than 300 characters), would fail to be added to notmuch, (triggering
Xapian exceptions). This has now been fixed.
Fix for messages with "charset=unknown-8bit"
Previously, messages with this charset would cause notmuch to emit a
GMime warning, (which would then trip up emacs or other interfaces
parsing the notmuch results).
Fix notmuch_query_search_threads function to return NULL on any exception
Fix "notmuch search" to return non-zero if notmuch_query_search_threads fails
Previously, this command could confusingly report a Xapian
exception, yet still return an error code of 0. It now correctly
returns a failing error code of 1 in this case.
Emacs bug fixes
---------------
Fix to handle a message with a subject containing, for example "[1234]"
Previously, a message subject containing a sequence of digits within
square brackets would cause the emacs interface to mis-parse the
output of "notmuch search". This would result in the message being
mis-displayed and prevent the user from manipulating the message in
the emacs interface.
Fix to correctly handle message IDs containing ".."
The emacs interface now properly quotes message IDs to avoid a
Xapian bug in which the ".." within a message ID would be
misinterpreted as a numeric range specification.
Python-binding fixes
--------------------
The python bindings for notmuch have been updated to work with python3.
Debian-specific fixes
---------------------
Fix emacs initialization so "M-x notmuch" works for users by default.
Now, a new Debian user can immediately run "emacs -f notmuch" after
"apt-get install notmuch". Previously, the user would have had to
edit the ~/.emacs file to add "(require 'notmuch)" before this would
work.
Notmuch 0.3.1 (2010-04-27)
==========================
General bug fixes
-----------------
Fix an infinite loop in "notmuch reply"
This bug could be triggered by replying to a message where the
user's primary email address did not appear in the To: header and
the user had not configured any secondary email addresses. The bug
was a simple re-use of the same iterator variable in nested loops.
Fix a potential SEGV in "notmuch search"
This bug could be triggered by an author name ending in a ','.
Admittedly - that's almost certainly a spam email, but we never
want notmuch to crash.
Emacs bug fixes
---------------
Fix calculations for line wrapping in the primary "notmuch" view.
Fix Fcc support to prompt to create a directory if the specified Fcc
directory does not exist.
Build fix
---------
Fix build on OpenSolaris (at least) due to missing 'extern "C"' block.
Without this, the C++ sources could not find strcasestr and the
final linking of notmuch would fail.
Notmuch 0.3 (2010-04-27)
========================
New command-line features
-------------------------
User-configurable tags for new messages
A new "new.tags" option is available in the configuration file to
determine which tags are applied to new messages. Run "notmuch
setup" to generate new documentation within ~/.notmuch-config on how
to specify this value.
Threads search results named based on subjects that match search
This means that when new mails arrived to a thread you've previously
read, and the new mails have a new subject, you will see that
subject in the search results rather than the old subject.
Faster operation of "notmuch tag" (avoid unneeded sorting)
Since the user just wants to tag all matching messages, we can make
things perform a bit faster by avoiding the sort.
Even Better guessing of From: header for "notmuch reply"
Notmuch now looks at a number of headers when trying to figure out
the best From: header to use in a reply. This is helpful if you have
several configured email addresses, and you also subscribe to various
mailing lists with different addresses, (so that mails you are
replying to won't always include your subscribed address in the To:
header).
Indication of author names that match a search
When notmuch displays threads as the result of a search, it now
lists the authors that match the search before listing the other
authors in the thread. It inserts a pipe '|' symbol between the last
matching and first non-matching author. This is especially useful in
a search that includes tag:unread. Now the authors of the unread
messages in the thread are listed first.
New: Python bindings
--------------------
Sebastian Spaeth has contributed his python bindings for the notmuch
library to the central repository. These bindings were previously
known as "cnotmuch" within python but have now been renamed to be
accessible with a simple, and more official-looking "import notmuch".
The bindings have already proven very useful as people proficient in
python have been able to easily develop programs to do notmuch-based
searches for email-address completion, maildir-flag synchronization,
and other tasks.
These bindings are available within the bindings/python directory, but
are not yet integrated into the top-level Makefiles, nor the top-level
package-building scripts. Improvements are welcome.
Emacs interface improvements
----------------------------
An entirely new initial view for notmuch, (friendly yet powerful)
Some of us call the new view "notmuch hello" but you can get at it
by simply calling "emacs -f notmuch". The new view provides a search
bar where new searches can be performed. It also displays a list of
recent searches, along with a button to save any of these, giving it
a new name as a "saved search". Many people find these "saved
searches" one of the most convenient ways of organizing their mail,
(providing all of the features of "folders" in other mail clients,
but without any of the disadvantages).
Finally, this view can also optionally display all of the tags that
exist in the database, along with a count for each tag, and a custom
search of messages with that tag that's simply a click (or keypress)
away.
Note: For users that liked the original mode of "emacs -f notmuch"
immediately displaying a particular search result, we
recommend instead running something like:
emacs --eval '(notmuch search "tag:inbox" t)'
The "t" means to sort the messages in an "oldest first" order,
(as notmuch would do previously by default). You can also
leave that off to have your search results in "newest first"
order.
Full-featured "customize" support for configuring notmuch
Notmuch now plugs in well to the emacs "customize" mode to make it
much simpler to find things about the notmuch interface that can be
tweaked by the user.
You can get to this mode by starting at the main "Customize" menu in
emacs, then browsing through "Applications", "Mail", and
"Notmuch". Or you can go straight to "M-x customize-group"
"notmuch".
Once you're at the customize screen, you'll see a list of documented
options that can be manipulated along with checkboxes, drop-down
selectors, and text-entry boxes for configuring the various
settings.
Support for doing tab-completion of email addresses
This support currently relies on an external program,
(notmuch-addresses), that is not yet shipped with notmuch
itself. But multiple, suitable implementations of this program have
already been written that generate address completions by doing
notmuch searches of your email collection. For example, providing
first those addresses that you have composed messages to in the
past, etc.
One such program (implemented in python with the python bindings to
notmuch) is available via:
git clone http://jkr.acm.jhu.edu/git/notmuch_addresses.git
Install that program as notmuch-addresses on your PATH, and then
hitting TAB on a partial email address or name within the To: or Cc:
line of an email message will provide matching completions.
Support for file-based (Fcc) delivery of sent messages to mail store
This isn't yet enabled by default. To enable this, one will have to
set the "Notmuch Fcc Dirs" setting within the notmuch customize
screen, (see its documentation there for details). We anticipate
making this automatic in a future release.
New 'G' key binding to trigger mail refresh (G == "Get new mail")
The 'G' key works wherever '=' works. Before refreshing the screen
it calls an external program that can be used to poll email servers,
run notmuch new and setup specific tags for the new emails. The
script to be called should be configured with the "Notmuch Poll
Script" setting in the customize interface. This script will
typically invoke "notmuch new" and then perhaps several "notmuch
tag" commands.
Implement emacs message display with the JSON output from notmuch.
This is much more robust than the previous implementation, (where
some HTML mails and mail quoting the notmuch code with the delimiter
characters in it would cause the parser to fall over).
Better handling of HTML messages and MIME attachments (inline images!)
Allow for any MIME parts that emacs can display to be displayed
inline. This includes inline viewing of image attachments, (provided
the window is large enough to fit the image at its natural size).
Much more robust handling of HTML messages. Currently both text/plain
and text/html alternates will be rendered next to each other. In a
future release, users will be able to decide to see only one or the
other representation.
Each attachment now has its own button so that attachments can be
saved individually (the 'w' key is still available to save all
attachments).
Customizable support for tidying of text/plain message content
Many new functions are available for tidying up message
content. These include options such as wrapping long lines,
compressing duplicate blank lines, etc.
Most of these are disabled by default, but can easily be enabled by
clicking the available check boxes under the "Notmuch Show Insert
Text/Plain Hook" within the notmuch customize screen.
New support for searchable citations (even when hidden)
When portions of overly-long citations are hidden, the contents of
these citations will still be available for emacs' standard
"incremental search" functions. When the search matches any portion
of a hidden citation, the citation will become visible temporarily
to display the search result.
More flexible handling of header visibility
As an answer to complaints from many users, the To, Cc, and Date
headers of messages are no longer hidden by default. For those users
that liked that these were hidden, a new "Notmuch Messages Headers
Visible" option in the customize interface can be set to nil. The
visibility of headers can still be toggled on a per-message basis
with the 'h' keybinding.
For users that don't want to see some subset of those headers, the
new "Notmuch Message Headers" variable can be customized to list
only those headers that should be present in the display of a message.
The Return key now toggles message visibility anywhere
Previously this worked only on the first summary-line of a message.
Customizable formatting of search results
The user can easily customize the order, width, and formatting of
the various fields in a "notmuch search" buffer. See the "Notmuch
Search Result Format" section of the customize interface.
Generate nicer names for search buffers when using a saved search.
Add a notmuch User-Agent header when sending mail from notmuch/emacs.
New keybinding (M-Ret) to open all collapsed messages in a thread.
New library feature
-------------------
Provide a new NOTMUCH_SORT_UNSORTED value for queries
This can be somewhat faster when sorting simply isn't desired. For
example when collecting a set of messages that will all be
manipulated identically, (adding a tag, removing a tag, deleting the
messages), then there's no advantage to sorting the messages by
date.
Build fixes
-----------
Fix to compile against GMime 2.6
Previously notmuch insisted on being able to find GMime 2.4, (even
though GMime 2.6 would have worked all along).
Fix configure script to accept (and ignore) various standard options.
For example, those that the Gentoo build scripts expect configure to
accept are now all accepted.
Test suite
----------
A large number of new tests for the many new features.
Better display of output from failed tests.
Now shows failures with diff rather than forcing the user to gaze at
complete actual and expected output looking for deviation.
Notmuch 0.2 (2010-04-16)
========================
This is the second release of the notmuch mail system, with actual
detailed release notes this time!
This release consists of a number of minor new features that make
notmuch more pleasant to use, and a few fairly major bug fixes.
We didn't quite hit our release target of "about a week" from the 0.1
release, (0.2 is happening 11 days after 0.1), but we hope to do
better for next week. Look forward to some major features coming to
notmuch in subsequent releases.
-Carl
General features
----------------
Better guessing of From: header.
Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
Received: headers if it fails to find any configured address in To:
or Cc:. This allows it to often choose the correct address even when
replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
configured address.
Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages
Previously, it was hard to construct a search term that was
guaranteed to match all messages.
Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages.
This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
"notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
shell doesn't expand * against the current files. And note that the
support for "*" is a special case. It's only meaningful as a single
search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
other search terms.
Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message is
missing.
Previously, if two or more message were received with a common
parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
not be recognized as belonging to the same thread. This is now fixed
so that such messages are properly connected in a thread.
General bug fixes
-----------------
Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT
One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.
Fix segfault when a message includes a MIME part that is empty.
Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json
Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were
silently dropped from the JSON output. This led to corrupted display
of utf-8 content in the upcoming notmuch web-based frontends.
Fix headers to be properly decoded in "notmuch reply"
Previously, the user might see:
Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=
rather than:
Subject: Re: Rozlučka
The former text is properly encoded to be RFC-compliant SMTP, will
be sent correctly, and will be properly decoded by the
recipient. But the user trying to edit the reply would likely be
unable to read or edit that field in its encoded form.
Emacs client features
---------------------
Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines.
It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
important. The number of lines shown at the beginning and end of any
citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and
notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).
The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove
tags by region.
Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of
threads and then using either the '+' or '-' keybindings. Bulk
tagging is still available for all threads matching the current
search with the '*' binding.
More meaningful buffer names for thread-view buffers.
Notmuch now uses the Subject of the thread as the buffer
name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
number to the user.
Provide for customized colors of threads in search view based on tags.
See the documentation of notmuch-search-line-faces, (or us "M-x
customize" and browse to the "notmuch" group within "Applications"
and "Mail"), for details on how to configure this colorization.
Build-system features
---------------------
Add support to properly build libnotmuch on Darwin systems (OS X).
Add support to configure for many standard options.
We include actual support for:
--includedir --mandir --sysconfdir
And accept and silently ignore several more:
--build --infodir --libexecdir --localstatedir
--disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking
Install emacs client in "make install" rather than requiring a
separate "make install-emacs".
Automatically compute versions numbers between releases.
This support uses the git-describe notation, so a version such as
0.1-144-g43cbbfc indicates a version that is 144 commits since the
0.1 release and is available as git commit "43cbbfc".
Add a new "make test" target to run the test suite and actually verify
its results.
Notmuch 0.1 (2010-04-05)
========================
This is the first release of the notmuch mail system.
It includes the libnotmuch library, the notmuch command-line
interface, and an emacs-based interface to notmuch.
Note: Notmuch will work best with Xapian 1.0.18 (or later) or Xapian
1.1.4 (or later). Previous versions of Xapian (whether 1.0 or 1.1) had
a performance bug that made notmuch very slow when modifying
tags. This would cause distracting pauses when reading mail while
notmuch would wait for Xapian when removing the "inbox" and "unread"
tags from messages in a thread.
