The previous distinction between +configuration items that can be modified via plain text configuration +files and those that must be set in the database via the "notmuch +config" subcommand is gone, and all configuration items can be set in +both ways. The external configuration file overrides configuration +items in the database. The location of database, hooks, and +configuration files is now more flexible, with several new +configuration variables. In particular XDG locations are now supported +as fallbacks for database, configuration and hooks. For more +information see `notmuch-config(1)`. + +Library +------- + +To support the new configuration facilities, several functions and +constants have been added to the notmuch API. Most notably: + +- `notmuch_database_create_with_config` +- `notmuch_database_open_with_config` +- `notmuch_database_load_config` +- `notmuch_config_get` + +A previously requested API change is that `notmuch_database_reopen` is +now exposed (and generalized). + +As always, the canonical source of API documentation is +`lib/notmuch.h`, or the doxygen formated documentation in `notmuch(3)` + +CLI +--- + +The `notmuch config set` subcommand gained a `--database` argument to +specify that the database should be updated, rather than a config file. + Notmuch 0.31.4 (2021-02-18) =========================== -- 2.30.2 _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
