Where to obtain notmuch 0.22 =========================== http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.22.tar.gz Which can be verified with: http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.22.tar.gz.sha1 c3c3c805cd821aca0966e46dffd56d37d42f2616 notmuch-0.22.tar.gz http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.22.tar.gz.sha1.asc (signed by David Bremner) What's new in notmuch 0.22 ========================= General ------- Xapian 1.3 support Notmuch should now build (and the test suite should pass) on recent releases of Xapian 1.3.x. It has been tested with Xapian 1.3.5. Limited support for S/MIME messages Signature verification is supported, but not decryption. S/MIME signature creation and S/MIME encryption are supported via built-in support in Emacs. S/MIME support is not extensively tested at this time. Bug Fixes Fix for threading bug involving deleting and re-adding messages. Fix for case-sensitive content disposition headers. Fix handling of 1 character directory names at top level. Command Line Interface ---------------------- `notmuch show` now supports verifying S/MIME signatures This support relies on an appropriately configured `gpgsm`. Build System ------------ Drop dependency on "pkg-config emacs". Emacs Interface --------------- Notmuch replies now include all parts shown in the show view There are two main user visible changes. The first is that rfc822 parts are now included in replies. The second change is that part headers are now included in the reply buffer to provide visible separation of the parts. The choice of which part headers to show is customizable via the variable `notmuch-mua-reply-insert-header-p-function`. Filtering or Limiting messages is now bound to `l` in the search view This binding now matches the analogous binding in show view. `F` forwards all open messages in a thread When viewing a thread of messages, the new binding `F` can be used to generate a new outgoing message which forwards all of the open messages in the thread. This is analogous to the `f` binding, which forwards only the current message. Preferred content type can be determined from the message content More flexibility in choosing which sub-part of a multipart/alternative part is initially shown is available by setting `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a function that returns a list of discouraged types. The function so specified is passed the message as an argument and can examine the message content to determine which content types should be discouraged. This is in addition to the current capabilities (i.e. setting `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` to a list of discouraged types). When viewing a thread ("show" mode), queries that match no messages no longer generate empty buffers Should an attempt be made to view the thread corresponding to a query that matches no messages, a warning message is now displayed and the terminal bell rung rather than displaying an empty buffer (or, in some cases, displaying an empty buffer and throwing an error). This also affects re-display of the current thread. Handle S/MIME signatures in emacs The emacs interface is now capable making and verifying S/MIME signatures. `notmuch-message-address-insinuate` is now a no-op This reduces the amount of interference with non-notmuch uses of message-mode. Address completion improvements An external script is no longer needed for address completion; if you previously configured one, customize the variable `notmuch-address-command` to try the internal completion. If `company-mode` is available, notmuch uses it by default for interactive address completion. Test and experiment with the emacs MUA available in source tree `./devel/try-emacs-mua` runs emacs and fills the window with information how to try the MUA safely. Emacs is configured to use the notmuch (lisp) files located in `./emacs` directory. Documentation ------------- New `notmuch-report(1)` and `notmuch-report.json(5)` man pages describe `notmuch-report` and its JSON configuration file. You can build these files by running `make` in the `devel/nmbug/doc` directory. notmuch-report -------------- Renamed from `nmbug-status`. This script generates reports based on notmuch queries, and doesn't really have anything to do with nmbug, except for sharing the `NMBGIT` environment variable. The new name focuses on the script's action, instead of its historical association with the nmbug workflow. This should make it more discoverable for users looking for generic notmuch reporting tools. The default configuration file name (extracted from the `config` branch of `NBMGIT` has changed from `status-config.json` to `notmuch-report.json` so it is more obviously associated with the report-generating script. The configuration file also has a new `meta.message-url` setting, which is documented in `notmuch-report.json(5)`. `notmuch-report` now wraps query phrases in parentheses when and-ing them together, to avoid confusion about clause grouping. What is notmuch =============== Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient search syntax. For more about notmuch, see http://notmuchmail.org
