What's new in notmuch 0.20
=========================

Command-Line Interface
----------------------

There is a new `mimetype:` search prefix

  The new `mimetype:` search prefix allows searching for the
  content-type of attachments, which is now indexed. See the
  `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for details.

Path to gpg is now configurable

  On systems with multiple versions of gpg, you can tell
  notmuch which one to use by setting `crypto.gpg_path`

Emacs
-----

Avoid rendering large text attachements.

Improved rendering of CID references in HTML.

Vim
---

Vim client now respects excluded tags.

Notmuch-Mutt
------------

Support messages without Message-IDs.

Library
-------

Undeprecate single message mboxes

  It seems more trouble to remove this feature than expected, so
  `notmuch new` will no longer nag about mboxes with a single message.

New error logging facility

  Clients should call `notmuch_database_status_string` to retrieve
  output formerly printed to stderr.

Several bug fixes related to stale iterators

New status code returning API for n_query_search_{messages,thread}

Fix for library `install_name` on Mac OS X

Fix for rounding of seconds

Documentation
-------------

Sphinx is now mandatory to build docs

  Support for using rst2man in place of sphinx to build the
  docmumentation has been removed.

Improved notmuch-search-terms.7

  The man page `notmuch-search-terms(7)` has been extended, merging
  some material from the relicensed wiki.

Contrib
-------

`notmuch-deliver` is removed. As far as we know, all functionality
previously provided by `notmuch-deliver` should now be provided by
`notmuch insert`, provided by the main notmuch binary.

nmbug-status
------------

`nmbug-status` now only matches local branches when reading
`status-config.json` from the `config` branch of the `NMBGIT`
repository.  To help new users running `nmbug-status`, `nmbug clone`
now creates a local `config` branch tracking `origin/config`.  Folks
who use `nmbug-status` with an in-Git config (i.e. you don't use the
`--config` option) who already have `NMBGIT` set up are encouraged to
run:

    git checkout config origin/config

in their `NMBGIT` repository (usually `~/.nmbug`).

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.
