Where to obtain notmuch 0.16 =========================== http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.16.tar.gz Which can be verified with: http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.16.tar.gz.sha1 1919277b322d7aaffa81b80a64aedbb8a1c52a2b notmuch-0.16.tar.gz http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-0.16.tar.gz.sha1.asc (signed by David Bremner) What's new in notmuch 0.16 ========================= Command-Line Interface ---------------------- Support for delivering messages to Maildir There is a new command `insert` that adds a message to a Maildir folder and notmuch index. `notmuch count --batch` option `notmuch count` now supports batch operations similar to `notmuch tag`. This is mostly an optimization for remote notmuch usage. `notmuch tag` option to remove all tags from matching messages `notmuch tag --remove-all` option has been added to remove all tags from matching messages. This can be combined with adding new tags, resulting in setting (rather than modifying) the tags of the messages. Decrypting commands explicitly expect a gpg-agent Decryption in `notmuch show` and `notmuch reply` has only ever worked with a functioning gpg-agent. This is now made explicit in code and documentation. The functional change is that it's now possible to have gpg-agent running, but gpg "use-agent" configuration option disabled, not forcing the user to use the agent everywhere. Configuration file saves follow symbolic links The notmuch commands that save the configuration file now follow symbolic links instead of overwrite them. Top level option to specify configuration file It's now possible to specify the configuration file to use on the command line using the `notmuch --config=FILE` option. Bash command-line completion The notmuch command-line completion support for the bash shell has been rewritten. Supported completions include all the notmuch commands, command-line arguments, values for keyword arguments, search prefixes (such as "subject:" or "from:") in all commands that use search terms, tags after + and - in `notmuch tag`, tags after "tag:" prefix, user's email addresses after "from:" and "to:" prefixes, and config options (and some config option values) in `notmuch config`. The new completion support depends on the bash-completion package. Deprecated commands "part" and "search-tags" are removed. Emacs Interface --------------- New keymap to view/save parts; removed s/v/o/| part button bindings The commands to view, save, and open MIME parts are now prefixed with "." (". s" to save, ". v" to view, etc) and can be invoked with point anywhere in a part, unlike the old commands, which were restricted to part buttons. The old "s"/"v"/"o"/"|" commands on part buttons have been removed since they clashed with other bindings (notably "s" for search!) and could not be invoked when there was no part button. The new, prefixed bindings appear in show's help, so you no longer have to memorize them. Default part save directory is now `mm-default-directory` Previously, notmuch offered to save parts and attachments to a mix of `mm-default-directory`, `mailcap-download-directory`, and `~/`. This has been standardized on `mm-default-directory`. Key bindings for next/previous thread Show view has new key bindings M-n and M-p to move to the next and previous thread in the search results. Better handling of errors in search buffers Instead of interleaving errors in search result buffers, search mode now reports errors in the minibuffer. Faster search and show Communication between Emacs and the notmuch CLI is now more efficient because it uses the CLI's S-expression support. As a result, search mode should now fill search buffers faster and threads should show faster. No Emacs 22 support The Emacs 22 support added late 2010 was sufficient only for a short period of time. After being incomplete for roughly 2 years the code in question was now removed from this release. Vim Front-End ------------- The vim based front-end has been replaced with a new one that uses the Ruby bindings. The old font-end is available in the contrib subfolder. Python Bindings --------------- Fix loading of libnotmuch shared library on OS X (Darwin) systems. 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.
