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.

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 th '*' 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.
