What's new in notmuch 0.29
=========================

General
-------

Add "body:" field to allow searching for terms that occur only in the
message body. Users will need to reindex their mail to take advantage
of this feature.

Add support for indexing user specified headers (e.g. List-Id). See
notmuch-config(1) for details. This requires reindexing after changing
the set of headers to be indexed.

Fix bug for searching in some headers for Xapian keywords in quoted
strings.

Add support for gzip compressed mail messages (/not/ multi-message
mboxes); e.g. `gzip -9 $MAIL/archive/giant-message && notmuch new`
should work. Note that maildir flag syncing for gzipped messages is
currently untested.

Notmuch is now capable of indexing, searching and rendering
cryptographically-protected Subject: headers of the form produced by
Enigmail and K-9 mail in encrypted messages.

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

`notmuch show` now supports --body=false and --include-html with
--format=text

Fix several performance problems with `notmuch reindex`.

`notmuch show` and `notmuch reply` now emit per-message cryptographic
status in their json and sexp output formats.  See devel/schemata for
more details about what is included there.  This status includes
information about cryptographic protections for the Subject header.

Emacs
-----

Optionally check for missing attachements in outgoing messages (see
function `notmuch-mua-attachment-check`).

Bind `B` to browse URLs in current message.

Bind `g` to refresh the current notmuch buffer.

Editing a message as new now includes an FCC header.

Forwarded messages are now tagged as +forwarded (customizable).

Add references header to link forwarded message to thread of original
message.

The minimum supported major version of Emacs is now 24.

Support for GNU Emacs older than 25.1 is deprecated with this release,
and may be removed in a future release.

Notmuch-emacs documentation is somewhat expanded. More contributions
are very welcome.

Build System
------------

Notmuch release tarballs are now compressed with `xz`.

We now provide conventional detached signatures of the release
tarballs in addition to the signed `sha256sum` files.

Dependencies
------------

Support for GMime 2.6 is removed. The minimum supported version of
GMime is now 3.0.3.  GMime also needs to have been compiled with
cryptography support.

Test Suite
----------

If either GNU parallel or moreutils parallel is installed, the tests
in the test suite will now be run in parallel (one per available
core).  This can be disabled with NOTMUCH_TEST_SERIALIZE=1.

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.

As the maintainer of Notmuch in MacPorts, I wonder why you chose to
switch from a classical tarball to a .tar.xz archive? Did I miss some
discussion on this mailing list?

Yes, there was a brief discussion:

     id:20190319100819.17724-2-david@tethera.net

The space savings have become more noticable as we include more test data in
the release tarball. At a glance, about 15-20% of the upstream tarballs in
Debian are xz compressed. Even allowing for overcounting of things like
git snapshots, I guess xz compression is something packagers will have
to deal with.

Thanks. As I expected, it was my lack of attention that led to me being
caught unawares. ;-)

> I guess xz compression is something packagers will have to deal with.

Of course, no worries. I am not miffed in any way, especially because it
only amounts to adding a single option to my Portfile. I just wanted to
make sure this was deliberate on your end before I open my pull request.
