## Changes since v0.5

  * Use any editor (general XEmbed support in edit-message window): Emacs
    works.

  * Plugins: Python and Lua plugins can now be made, parts of ThreadIndex
    and ThreadView are exposed allowing extesion of the user interface and
    advanced customization. Check out the plugins available at GitHub.

  * Crypto: GPG encryption and signing is added. Decryption and and
    signature status is shown in greater detail.

  * Repository moved to github.com/astroidmail.

  * Thread-view: Search email text using 'C-f'

  * Synchronize maildir flags if so configured in .notmuch-config.

  * Signatures: Include per-account signatures (either included or
    attached).

  * Saved searches: Save a search with 'C-S', then browse saved searches
    and stats with 'C-f'. You can also browse search history using Up
    and Down in the search-bar.

  * Colorful tags: Tag background color is calculated based on MD5 sum and
    normalized to within a configurable range. The same tag will therefore
    always have the same color.

  * Thread-index: load all threads in the background.

  * All actions requiring write-access run in the background and wait for
    any reads to finish. All read operations need to wait for any ongoing
    write-operations to finish. All write-operations are therefore
    asynchronous and non-blocking. Read-operations will only block on long
    write operations.

  * Tags can be modified on multiple marked threads with + and -.

  * Modify tags on single message, they are updated in thread-view and
    thread-index.

  * Keybindings modified to be more common #171.
  * scss: fix #82: make all variables global.
  * C-d / C-u / Page in thread-index: Page and move cursor in thread
    index.
  * Special keys like Tab and Home can now be used in user-keybindings.
  * M. Dietrich: clock_format=year option to use clock format from this or
    previous year setting in thread-index.
  * M. Dietrich, G. Hope: Background color in thread-index configurable.
  * M. Dietrich: Use correct reply-to address for mailinglist-messages.
  * Gravatar is configurable.
  * #103: Drafts are saved on force close or quit by default.
  * C-v: duplicate and refine query.
  * Mark thread moves to next by default.
  * ti: set cursor to first thread if we are at first thread when new
    addition is made.
  * build: --disable-libsass: do not depend on libsass, but use a sass
    compiler at build time (-scss-compiler=sassc).
  * Quote lines for reply and forward are formatted with
    Glib::DateTime::format().
