Where to obtain notmuch 0.9 =========================== http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.9.tar.gz Which can be verified with: http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.9.tar.gz.sha1 988e93545880e9465380383f00d591d8a23c61dd notmuch-0.9.tar.gz http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.9.tar.gz.sha1.asc (signed by David Bremner) What's new in notmuch 0.9 ========================= 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.
