plans for 0.28

plans for 0.28

[David Bremner]

Hi Gang;

I'd like to feature freeze 0.28 sometime in the next two weeks. I'd
mainly like to include
- the threading fixes I (re)-posted recently
- dkg's protected headers stuff

Suggestions for other things to include (probably needs to come with
code review at this point) are welcome, either reply to this list, tag
things as notmuch::0.28 in nmbug, or both.

I've tagged 0.28~rc0 and uploaded to Debian experimental. I somewhat
belatedly remembered Michael's rename tagging patches. At this point
it's probably best that they go in post 0.28.

Looking at git shortlog, I need a NEWS item or two about threading, and
maybe one about installing with absolute interpreter paths.
I would appreciate any feedback and/or NEWS patches others might have.

Daniel Kahn Gillmor (3):
      devel: make printmimestructure py3 compatible
      use #!/usr/bin/env python consistently
      doc: clean up manpages

David Bremner (34):
      lib/thread: sort sibling messages by date
      lib: read reference terms into message struct.
      lib/thread: initial use of references as for fallback parenting
      lib: calculate message depth in thread
      lib/thread: rewrite _parent_or_toplevel to use depths
      lib/thread: change _resolve_thread_relationships to use depths
      lib: change parent strategy to use In-Reply-To if it looks sane
      test: mark thread subqueries broken without field processors
      test: make regexp test conditional on field processors
      configure: absolute path of bash
      build: install notmuch-emacs-mua with absolute shebang
      configure: absolute path of perl
      contrib/notmuch-mutt: add install target
      debian: update notmuch-mutt packaging to use install target


David Edmondson (5):
      emacs: Kill the stderr buffer when an async process completes
      notmuch: Database paths without a leading / are relative to $HOME
      test: Absolute and relative directory paths.
      test: Check that `notmuch-mua-send-hook' is called on sending a message
      emacs: Call `notmuch-mua-send-hook' hooks when sending a message

Jameson Graef Rollins (1):
      minor cleanup to printmimestructure

Sebastian Poeplau (2):
      test: add known broken test for mislabeled Windows-1252 encoding
      lib: detect mislabeled Windows-1252 parts

Vincent Breitmoser (2):
      python: fix unchecked None access in get_property
      completion: more complete completion for zsh.

[PATCH] NEWS: my changes for 0.28

I think this is all of the user (or package maintainer) visible stuff.

 Notmuch 0.28 (UNRELEASED)
 =========================
 
+General
+-------
+
+The threading algorithm has been updated to consider all references,
+not just the heuristically chosen parent (e.g. when that parent is not
+in the database). The heuristic for choosing a parent message has also
+been updated to again consider the In-Reply-To header, if it looks
+sensible.
+
+Build System

+Fix certain tests that were failing with GMime 2.6. Users are reminded
+that support for versions of GMime before 3.0.3 has been deprecated

[PATCH] NEWS: NEWS for 0.28

[David Bremner]

This is based on my subjective assessment of what is user/packager
facing and important from the output of 'git shortlog'
---

I squashed all the news patches together since there were no other
contributions. I will release with these notes pretty soon, so please
send any fixes ASAP.

Thanks, fixed in git. Also mislabeled -> mislabelled

That depends on which English spelling Notmuch conforms to.  In American
English, "mislabeled" is correct.  In British English, "mislabelled" is
correct.  And I don't know about Canadian English, Australian English,
etc.
