Release process for 0.32

Release process for 0.32

Now that the config changes have landed, it is time to consider a
release. I have the following schedule in mind:

         April 24: Feature Freeze.

         May 1: Release.

In a perfect world, the notmuch2 python bindings would be updated before
the release, but since the new API is upward compatible (and old API is
still there), I don't think this a blocker.

Typically we have a push for NEWS items after the feature freeze, but
nothing prevents getting started with some of the larger changes. I
think Jonas and I are responsible for the most of the churn in the
source. Jonas, I know a lot of what you contributed is not user visible,
but a patch for NEWS listing some of the user visible changes
(particularly things like dropped variables and functions) would be
appreciated.

+Notmuch 0.32 (UNRELEASED)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+This release includes a significant overhaul of the configuration
+management facilities for notmuch.  The previous distinction between
+configuration items that can be modified via plain text configuration
+files and those that must be set in the database via the "notmuch
+config" subcommand is gone, and all configuration items can be set in
+both ways.  The external configuration file overrides configuration
+items in the database. The location of database, hooks, and
+configuration files is now more flexible, with several new
+configuration variables. In particular XDG locations are now supported
+as fallbacks for database, configuration and hooks. For more
+information see `notmuch-config(1)`.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+To support the new configuration facilities, several functions and
+constants have been added to the notmuch API. Most notably:
+
+- `notmuch_database_create_with_config`
+- `notmuch_database_open_with_config`
+- `notmuch_database_load_config`
+- `notmuch_config_get`
+
+A previously requested API change is that `notmuch_database_reopen` is
+now exposed (and generalized).
+
+As always, the canonical source of API documentation is
+`lib/notmuch.h`, or the doxygen formated documentation in `notmuch(3)`
+
+CLI
+---
+
+The `notmuch config set` subcommand gained a `--database` argument to
+specify that the database should be updated, rather than a config file.
+
 Notmuch 0.31.4 (2021-02-18)

I have pushed 0.32~rc1 [0] to
  - git (tag 0.32_rc1)
  - https://notmuchmail.org/releases/
  - debian experimental

As part of the getting this release candidate out the door I

- fixed a bug in config.cc related to email defaults

- adapted Tomi's python code for notmuch_passwd_sanitize [1]

As always, NEWS items and last minute bug fixes are solicited.

[0]: let us speak no further of 0.32~rc0

Can we at least include one fix for the vim plugin? Without it the
code is pretty much unusable.

I missed this request at the time, sorry.  I'll try to go over the
changes myself tonight to see if you overlooked anything important
in the entries you wrote yesterday.

This has the signatures, but not the tar.xz for rc2.

Cheers,

That would be the downside of the manual upload for pre-releases. It
should be there now, thanks for the heads-up.
