I'm about ready to roll a bug fix release 0.6.1. You can take a look at git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/notmuch.git branch: release This fixes two annoying bugs: The debian packages now depend strictly on the same version libnotmuch (thanks ukleink). This makes upgrades slightly more robust in the face of query syntax changes. (Some of) the Xapian symbols are back. This fixes termination with uncaught exceptions on (at least) gcc 4.4.5. Thanks to jvalroff, among others for reporting this. This is a pre-requisite for a backport to Debian Squeeze. I snuck in a few changes to the "make release" target, essentially what I posted in "1309781021-32062-1-git-send-email-david@tethera.net". At the moment those only really affect Carl and I (although one of the things I tried to do is make it more possible for for everybody to run the release related targets). Another change is that the Debian packages will become non-native (at least until we change our minds again). This will make it easier to make uploads of just Debian packaging fixes. This will not involve any seperate branch or repo for debian packaging. I want to get this out the door so we can concentrate on the 0.7 release. So far this will have only python and vim changes, but I live in hope of the atomicity series of amdragon and the jrollins rfc822 fix making it in. If anybody finds showstoppers, let me know before say 2359UTC, otherwise I'll follow the wise words of Grace Hopper and ask forgiveness later. d
