* NEWS (user visible changes & bigger non-visible ones)
|
||
|
||
* 1.9 (unreleased development version)
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- a new command-line parser, which allows (hopefully!) for a better user
|
||
interaction; better error checking and more
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- mu4e window management has been significantly changed, affecting the
|
||
message loading as well as window-layout. As a user-visible feature,
|
||
there's now 'z' binding (~mu4e-view-detach~), to 'detach' view and alllow
|
||
for keeping multiple views around; see the Mu4e manual for details.
|
||
|
||
- One very visible (experimental) change is that the main-window is no
|
||
longer full-screen
|
||
|
||
- when moving messages (which includes changing flags), file-flags changes
|
||
are propagated to duplicates of the messages; that is, e.g. the /Seen/ or /Replied/ status is propagated to all duplicates (earlier, this was only
|
||
done when marking a message as read). Note, /Draft/, /Flagged/ and /Trashed/
|
||
flags are deliberately *not* propagated.
|
||
|
||
- teach ~mu4e-copy-thing-at-point~ about ~shr~ links
|
||
|
||
- The ~mu4e-headers-toggle-setting~ has been renamed ~mu4e-headers-toggle-property~ and has the new default binding ~P~, which
|
||
works in both the headers-view and message-view. The older functions ~mu4e-headers-toggle-threading~, ~mu4e-headers-toggle-threading~, ~mu4e-headers-toggle-full-search~ ~mu4e-headers-toggle-include-related~,
|
||
~full-search~skip-duplicates~ have been removed (with their keybindings) in
|
||
favor of ~mu4e-headers-toggle-property~.
|
||
|
||
- There's also a new property ~mu4e-headers-hide-enabled~, which controls
|
||
wheter ~mu4e-headers-hide-predicate~ is applied (when non-~nil~). This can be
|
||
used to temporarily turn the predicate off/on.
|
||
|
||
- When searching, the number of hidden messages is now shown in the
|
||
message footer along with the number of Found messages
|
||
|
||
- all the obsolete function and variable aliases have been moved to ~mu4e-obsolete.el~ so we can unclutter the non-obsolete code a bit.
|
||
|
||
*** guile
|
||
|
||
- in the 1.8 release, the /current/ Guile API was deprecated; that does not
|
||
mean that Guile support goes way, just that it will look different.
|
||
|
||
- Guile script commands are now integrated with the main ~mu~, so without
|
||
further parameters ~mu~ shows both subcommands and scripts. This is work
|
||
in progress!
|
||
|
||
- The per-(week|day|year|year-month) script have been combined into a ~histogram~ script. If you have Guile-support enabled, and have ~gnuplot~
|
||
installed, you can do e.g.,
|
||
#+begin_example
|
||
mu histogram -- --time-unit=day --query="hello"
|
||
#+end_example
|
||
|
||
to get a histogram of such messages. Note, this area is under active
|
||
developement and will likely change.
|
||
|
||
*** building
|
||
|
||
- the autotools build (which was deprecated since 1.8) has now been removed.
|
||
we thank it for its services since 2008. We continue with ~meson~.
|
||
|
||
However, we still have ~autogen.sh~ and a ~Makefile~ which can be helpful for
|
||
driving ~meson~-based builds. Think of the ~Makefile~ as a convenient place to
|
||
put common action for which I always forget the ~meson~ incantation.**
|
||
|
||
*** internals
|
||
|
||
As usual, there have been a number of internal updates in the ~mu~ codebase:
|
||
|
||
- reworked the internal s-expression parser
|
||
- new command-line argument parser (based on CLI11)
|
||
- message-move flag propagation moved from the mu4e-server to mu-store
|
||
|
||
* 1.8 (released on June 25, 2022)
|
||
|
||
(there are some changes in the installation procedure compared to 1.6.x; see
|
||
Installation below)
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- The server protocol (as used my mu4e) has seen a number of updates, to
|
||
allow for faster rendering. As before, there's no compatibility between
|
||
minor release numbers (1.4 vs 1.6 vs 1.8) nor within development series
|
||
(such as 1.7). However, within a stable release (such as all 1.6.x) the
|
||
protocol won't change (except if required to fix some severe bug; this
|
||
never happened in practice)
|
||
|
||
- The ~processed~ number in the indexing statistics has been renamed into ~checked~ and describes the number of message files considered for updating,
|
||
which is a bit more useful that the old value, which was more-or-less
|
||
synonymous with the ~updated~ number (which are the messages that got
|
||
(re)parsed / (re)added to the database.
|
||
|
||
Basically, it counts all the messages for which we checked their timestamp.
|
||
|
||
- The internals of the message handling in ~mu~ have been heavily reworked;
|
||
much of this is not immediately visible but is an enabler for some new
|
||
features.
|
||
|
||
- instead of passing ~--muhome~, you can now also set an environment variable ~MUHOME~.
|
||
|
||
- the ~info~ command now includes information about the last indexing
|
||
operation and the last database change that took place; note that the
|
||
information may be slightly delayed due to database caching.
|
||
|
||
- the ~verify~ command for checking signatures has been updated, and is more
|
||
informative
|
||
|
||
- a new command ~fields~ provides information about the message fields and
|
||
flags for use in queries. The information is the same information that ~mu~
|
||
uses and so stays up to date.
|
||
|
||
- a new message field ~changed~, which refers to the time/date of the last
|
||
time a message was changed (the file ~ctime~)
|
||
|
||
- new message flags ~personal~ to search for "personal" messages, which are
|
||
defined as a message with at least one personal contact, and ~calendar~ for
|
||
messages with calendar-invitations.
|
||
|
||
- message sexps are now cached in the store, which makes delivering
|
||
sexp-based search results (as used by ~mu4e~) much faster.
|
||
|
||
- Windows/MSYS support is deprecated; it doesn't work well (if at all) and
|
||
there's currently not sufficient developer interest/expertise to change
|
||
this.
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- the old mu4e-view is *gone*; only the gnus-based one remains. This allowed
|
||
for removing quite a bit of old code.
|
||
|
||
- the mu4e headers rendering is much faster (a factor of 3+), which makes
|
||
displaying big results snappier. This required some updates in the headers
|
||
handling and in the server protocol. Separate from that, the cached
|
||
message sexps (see the ~mu~ section) make getting the results much faster.
|
||
This becomes esp. clear when there are a lot of query results.
|
||
|
||
- "related" messages are now recognizable as such in the headers-view, with
|
||
their own face, ~mu4e-related-face~; by default with an italic slant.
|
||
|
||
- For performance testing, you can set the variable ~mu4e-headers-report-render-time~ to ~t~ and ~mu4e~ will report the
|
||
search/rendering speed of each query operation.
|
||
|
||
- Removed header-fields ~:attachments~, ~:signature~, ~:encryption~ and ~:user-agent~. They're obsolete with the Gnus-based message viewer.
|
||
|
||
- The various "toggles" for the headers-view (full-search, include-related,
|
||
skip-duplicates, threading) were a bit hard to find and with non-obvious
|
||
key-bindings. For that, there is now ~mu4e-headers-toggle-setting~ (bound
|
||
to ~M~) to handle all of that. The toggles are also reflected in the
|
||
mode-line; so e.g. 'RTU' means we're including [R]elated messages, and show
|
||
[T]hreads, skip duplicates ([U]nique).
|
||
|
||
- A new ~defcustom~, ~mu4e-view-open-program~ for starting the appropriate
|
||
program for a give file (e.g., ~xdg-open~). There are some reasonable
|
||
defaults for various systems. This can also be set to a function.
|
||
|
||
- indexing happens in the background now and mu4e can interact with the
|
||
server while it is ongoing; this allows for using mu4e during lengthy
|
||
indexing operations.
|
||
|
||
- ~mu4e-index-updated-hook~ now fires after indexing completed, regardless of
|
||
whether anything changed (before, it fired only if something changed). In
|
||
your hook-functions (or elsewhere) you can check if anything changed using
|
||
the new variable ~mu4e-index-update-status~. And note that ~processed~ has
|
||
been renamed into ~checked~, with a slightly different meaning, see the mu
|
||
section.
|
||
|
||
- ~message-user-organization~ can now be used to set the ~Organization:~
|
||
header. See its docstring for details.
|
||
|
||
- ~mu4e-compose-context-switch~ no longer attempts to update the draft folder
|
||
(which turned out to be a little fragile). However, it has been updated to
|
||
automatically change the ~Organization:~ header, and attempts to update the
|
||
message signature. Also, there's a key-binding now: ~C-c ;~
|
||
|
||
- Changed the default for ~mu4e-compose-complete-only-after~ to 2018-01-01,
|
||
to filter out contacts not seen after that date.
|
||
|
||
- As an additional measure to limit the number of contacts that mu4e loads
|
||
for auto-completions, there's ~mu4e-compose-complete-max~, to set a precise
|
||
numerical match (*before* any possible filtering). Set to ~nil~ (no maximum
|
||
by default).
|
||
|
||
- Updated the "fancy" characters for some header fields. Added new ones for
|
||
personal and list messages.
|
||
|
||
- Removed ~make-mu4e-bookmark~ which was obsoleted in version 1.3.9.
|
||
|
||
- Add command ~mu4e-sexp-at-point~ for showing/hiding the s-expression for
|
||
the message-at-point. Useful for development / debugging. Bound to ~,~ in
|
||
headers and view mode.
|
||
|
||
- undo is now supported across message-saves
|
||
|
||
- a lot of the internals have been changed:
|
||
|
||
- =mu4e= is slowly moving from using the '=~'= to the more common '=--'=
|
||
separator for private functions; i.e., =mu4e-foo= becomes =mu4e--foo=.
|
||
|
||
- =mu4e-utils.el= had become a bit of a dumping ground for bits of code;
|
||
it's gone now, with the functionality move to topic-specific files --
|
||
=mu4e-folders.el=, =mu4e-bookmarks.el=, =mu4e-update.el=, and included in
|
||
existing files.
|
||
|
||
- the remaining common functionality has ended up in =mu4e-helpers.el=
|
||
|
||
- =mu4e-search.el= takes the search-specific code from =mu4e-headers.el=,
|
||
and adds a minor-mode for the keybindings.
|
||
|
||
- =mu4e-context.el= and =mu4e-update.el= also define minor modes with
|
||
keybindings, which saves a lot of code in the various views, since they
|
||
don't need explicitly bind all those function.
|
||
|
||
- also =mu4e-vars.el= had become very big, we're refactoring the =defvar= / =defcustom= declarations to the topic-specific files.
|
||
|
||
- =mu4e-proc.el= has been renamed =mu4e-server.el=.
|
||
|
||
- Between =mu= and =mu4e=, contact cells are now represented as a plist ~(:name
|
||
"Foo Bar" :email "foobar@example.com")~ rather than a cons-cell ~("Foo
|
||
Bar" . "foobar@example.com").~
|
||
|
||
If you have scripts depending on the old format, there's the ~mu4e-contact-cons~ function which takes a news-style contact and yields
|
||
the old form.
|
||
|
||
- Because of all these changes, it is recommended you remove older version
|
||
of ~mu4e~ before reinstalling.
|
||
|
||
*** guile
|
||
|
||
- the current guile support has been deprecated. It may be revamped at some
|
||
point, but will be different from the current one, which is to be removed
|
||
after 1.8
|
||
|
||
*** toys
|
||
|
||
- the ~toys~ (~mug~) has been removed, as they no longer worked with the rest of
|
||
the code.
|
||
|
||
** Installation
|
||
|
||
- =mu= switched to the [[https://mesonbuild.com][meson]] build system by default. The existing =autotools=
|
||
is still available, but is to be removed after the 1.8 release.
|
||
|
||
Using =meson= (which you may need to install), you can use something like
|
||
the following in the mu top source directory:
|
||
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||
$ meson build && ninja -C build
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
- However, note that =autogen.sh= has been updated, and there's a
|
||
convenience =Makefile= with some useful targets, so you can also do:
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||
$ ./autogen.sh && make # and optionally, 'sudo make install'
|
||
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
||
- After that, either =ninja -C build= or =make= should be enough to rebuild
|
||
|
||
- NOTE: development versions 1.7.18 - 17.7.25 had a bug where the mail file
|
||
names sometimes got misnamed (with some extra ':2,'). This can be restored
|
||
with something like:
|
||
#+begin_example
|
||
$ find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*:*' | \
|
||
sed "s/\(\([^:]*\)\(:2,\)\{1,\}\(:2,.*$\)\)/mv '\0' '\2\4'/" > rename.sh
|
||
#+end_example
|
||
(replace 'Maildir' with the path to your maildir)
|
||
|
||
once this is done, do check the generated 'rename.sh' and after convincing
|
||
yourself it does the right thing, do
|
||
#+begin_example
|
||
$ sh rename.sh
|
||
#+end_example
|
||
after that, re-index.
|
||
|
||
- Before installing, it is recommended that you *remove* any older versions
|
||
of ~mu~ and especially ~mu4e~, since they may conflict with the newer ones.
|
||
|
||
- =mu= now requires C++17 support for building
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
* 1.6 (released, as of July 27 2021)
|
||
|
||
NOTE: After upgrading, you need to call ~mu init~, with your prefered parameters
|
||
before you can use ~mu~ / ~mu4e~. This is because the underlying database-schema
|
||
has changed.
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- Where available (and with suitably equiped ~libglib~), log to the ~systemd~
|
||
journal instead of =~/.cache/mu.log=. Passing the ~--debug~ option to ~mu~
|
||
increases the amount that is logged.
|
||
|
||
- Follow symlinks in maildirs, and support moving messsages across
|
||
filesystems. Obviously, that is typically quite a bit slower than the
|
||
single-filesystem case, but can be still be useful.
|
||
|
||
- Optionally provide readline support for the ~mu~ server (when in tty-mode)
|
||
|
||
- Reworked the way mu generates s-expressions for mu4e; they are created
|
||
programmatically now instead of through string building.
|
||
|
||
- The indexer (the part of mu that scans maildirs and updates the message
|
||
store) has been rewritten so it can work asynchronously and take advantage
|
||
of multiple cores. Note that for now, indexing in ~mu4e~ is still a blocking
|
||
operation.
|
||
|
||
- Portability updates for dealing with non-POSIX systems, and in particular
|
||
VFAT filesystem, and building using Clang/libc++.
|
||
|
||
- The personal addresses (as per ~--my-address=~ for ~mu init~) can now also
|
||
include regular expressions (basic POSIX); wrap the expression in ~/~, e.g., ~--my-address='/.*@example.*/~'.
|
||
|
||
- Modernized the querying/threading machinery; this makes some old code a
|
||
lot easier to understand and maintain, and even while not an explicit
|
||
goal, is also faster.
|
||
|
||
- Experimental support for the Meson build system.
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- Use the gnus-based message viewer as the default; the new viewer has quite
|
||
a few extra features compared to the old, mu4e-specific one, such as
|
||
faster crypto, support for S/MIME, syntax-highlighting, calendar
|
||
invitations and more.
|
||
|
||
The new view is superior in most ways, but if you still depend on
|
||
something from the old one, you can use:
|
||
#+begin_example
|
||
;; set *before* loading mu4e; and restart emacs if you want to change it
|
||
;; users of use-packag~ should can use the :init section for this.
|
||
(setq mu4e-view-use-old t)
|
||
#+end_example
|
||
|
||
(The older variable ~mu4e-view-use-gnus~ with the opposite meaning is
|
||
obsolete now, and no longer in use).
|
||
|
||
- Include maildir-shortcuts in the main-view with overall/unread counts,
|
||
similar to bookmarks, and with the same ~:hide~ and ~:hide-unread~ properties.
|
||
Note that for the latter, you need to update your maildir-shortcuts to the
|
||
new format, as explained in the ~mu4e-maildir-shortcuts~ docstring.
|
||
|
||
You can set ~mu4e-main-hide-fully-read~ to hide any bookmarks/maildirs that
|
||
have no unread messages.
|
||
|
||
- Add some more properties for use in capturing org-mode links to messages /
|
||
queries. See [[info:mu4e#Org-mode links][the mu4e manual]] for details.
|
||
|
||
- Honor ~truncate-string-ellipsis~ so you can now use 'fancy' ellipses for
|
||
truncated strings with ~(setq truncate-string-ellipsis "…")~
|
||
|
||
- Add a variable ~mu4e-mu-debug~ which, when set to non-~nil,~ makes the ~mu~
|
||
server log more verbosely (to ~mu.log~ or the journal)
|
||
|
||
- Better alignment in headers-buffers; this looks nicer, but is also a bit
|
||
slower, hence you need to enable ~mu4e-headers-precise-alignment~ for this.
|
||
|
||
- Support ~mu~'s new regexp-based personal addresses, and add ~mu4e-personal-address-p~ to check whether a given string matches a personal
|
||
address.
|
||
|
||
- TAB-Completion for writing ~mu~ queries
|
||
|
||
- Switch the context for existing draft messages using ~mu4e-compose-context-switch~ or ~C-c C-;~ in ~mu4e-compose-mode~.

|
||
** 1.4 (released, as of April 18 2020)
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- mu now defaults to the [[https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html][XDG Base Directory Specification]] for the default
|
||
locations for various files. E.g. on Unix the mu database now lives under
|
||
~~/.cache/mu/~ rather than ~~/.mu~. You can still use the old location by
|
||
passing ~--muhome=~/.mu~ to various ~mu~ commands, or setting ~(setq
|
||
mu4e-mu-home "~/.mu")~ for ~mu4e~.
|
||
|
||
If your ~~/.cache~ is volatile (e.g., is cleared on reboot), you may want
|
||
use ~--muhome~. Some mailing-list dicussion suggest that's fairly rare
|
||
though.
|
||
|
||
After upgrading, you may wish to delete the files in the old location to
|
||
recover some diskspace.
|
||
|
||
- There's a new subcommand ~mu init~ to initialize the mu database, which
|
||
takes the ~--maildir~ and ~--my-address~ parameters that ~index~ used to take.
|
||
These parameters are persistent so ~index~ does not need (or accept) them
|
||
anymore. ~mu4e~ now depends on those parameters. ~init~ only needs to be run once or when changing these parameters. That
|
||
implies that you need to re-index after changing these parameters. The ~.noupdate~ files are ignored when indexing the first time after ~mu init~ (or
|
||
in general, when the database is empty).
|
||
|
||
- There is another new subcommand ~mu info~ to get information about the mu
|
||
database, the personal addresses etc.
|
||
|
||
- The contacts cache (which is used by ~mu cfind~ and ~mu4e~'s
|
||
contact-completion) is now stored as part of the Xapian database rather
|
||
than as a separate file.
|
||
|
||
- The ~--xbatchsize~ and ~--autoupgrade~ options for indexing are gone; both are
|
||
determined implicitly now.
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- ~mu4e~ no longer uses the ~mu4e-maildir~ and ~mu4e-user-mail-address-list~
|
||
variables; instead it uses the information it gets from ~mu~ (see the ~mu~
|
||
section above). If you have a non-default ~mu4e-mu-home~, make sure to set
|
||
it before ~mu4e~ starts.
|
||
|
||
It is strongly recommended that you run ~mu init~ with the appropriate
|
||
parameters to (re)initialize the Xapian database, as mentioned in the
|
||
mu-section above.
|
||
|
||
The main screen shows your address(es), and issues a warning if ~user-email-address~ is not part of that (and refer you to ~mu init~). You can
|
||
avoid the addresses in the main screen and the warning by setting ~mu4e-main-view-hide-addresses~ to non-nil.
|
||
|
||
- In many cases, ~mu4e~ used to receive /all/ contacts after each indexing
|
||
operation; this was slow for some users, so we have updated this to /only/
|
||
get the contacts that have changed since the last round.
|
||
|
||
We also moved sorting the contacts to the mu-side, which speeds things up
|
||
further. However, as a side-effect of this, ~mu4e-contact-rewrite-function~
|
||
and ~mu4e-compose-complete-ignore-address-regexp~ have been obsoleted; users
|
||
of those should migrate to ~mu4e-contact-process-function~; see its
|
||
docstring for details.
|
||
|
||
- Christophe Troestler contributed support for Gnus' calender-invitation
|
||
handling in mu4e (i.e., you should be able to accept/reject invitations
|
||
etc.). It's very fresh code, and likely it'll be tweaked in the future.
|
||
But it's available now for testing. Note that this requires the gnus-based
|
||
viewer, as per ~(setq mu4e-view-use-gnus t)~
|
||
|
||
- In addition, he added support for custom headers, so the ones for for the
|
||
non-gnus-view should work just as well.
|
||
|
||
- ~org-mode~ support is enabled by default now. ~speedbar~ support is disabled
|
||
by default. The support org functionality has been moved to ~mu4e-org.el~,
|
||
with ~org-mu4e.el~ remaining for older things.
|
||
|
||
- ~mu4e~ now adds message-ids to messages when saving drafts, so we can find
|
||
them even with ~mu4e-headers-skip-duplicates~.
|
||
|
||
- Bookmarks (as in ~mu4e-bookmarks~) are now simple plists (instead of cl
|
||
structs). ~make-mu4e-bookmark~ has been updated to produce such plists (for
|
||
backward compatibility). A bookmark now looks like a list of e.g. ~(:name
|
||
"My bookmark" :query "banana OR pear" :key ?f)~ this format is a bit easier
|
||
extensible.
|
||
|
||
- ~mu4e~ recognizes an attribute ~:hide t~, which will hide the bookmark item
|
||
from the main-screen (and speedbar), but keep it available through the
|
||
completion UI.
|
||
|
||
- ~mu4e-maildir-shortcuts~ have also become plists. The older format is still
|
||
recognized for backward compatibility, but you are encouraged to upgrade.
|
||
|
||
- Replying to mailing-lists has been improved, allowing for choosing for
|
||
replying to all, sender, list-only.
|
||
|
||
- A very visible change, ~mu4e~ now shows unread/all counts for bookmarks in
|
||
the main screen that are strings. This is on by default, but can be
|
||
disabled by setting ~:hide-unread~ in the bookmark ~plist~ to ~t~. For
|
||
speed-reasons, these counts do _not_ filter out duplicates nor messages that
|
||
have been removed from the filesystem.
|
||
|
||
- ~mu4e-attachment-dir~ now also applies to composing messages; it determines
|
||
the default directory for inclusion.
|
||
|
||
- The mu4e <-> mu interaction has been rewritten to communicate using
|
||
s-expressions, with a repl for testing.
|
||
|
||
*** guile
|
||
|
||
- guile 3.0 is now supported; guile 2.2 still works.
|
||
|
||
*** toys
|
||
|
||
- Updated the ~mug~ toy UI to use Webkit2/GTK+. Note that this is just a toy
|
||
which is not meant for distribution. ~msg2pdf~ is disabled for now.
|
||
|
||
|
||
*** How to upgrade mu4e
|
||
|
||
- upgrade ~mu~ to the latest stable version (1.4.x)
|
||
|
||
- shut down emacs
|
||
|
||
- Run ~mu init~ in a terminal
|
||
|
||
- Make sure ~mu init~ points to the right Maildir folder and add your email
|
||
address(es) the following way: ~mu init --maildir=~/Maildir --my-address=jim@example.com --my-address=bob@example.com~
|
||
|
||
- once this is done, run ~mu index~
|
||
|
||
- Don't forget to delete your old mail cache location if necessary (see
|
||
release notes for more detail).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
** 1.2
|
||
|
||
After a bit over a year since version 1.0, here is version 1.2. This is
|
||
mostly a bugfix release, but there are also a number of new features.
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- Substantial (algorithmic) speed-up of message-threading; this also (or
|
||
especially) affects mu4e, since threading is the default. See commit
|
||
eb9bfbb1ca3c for all the details, and thanks to Nicolas Avrutin.
|
||
|
||
- The query-parser now generates better queries for wildcard searches, by
|
||
using the Xapian machinery for that (when available) rather than
|
||
transforming into regexp queries.
|
||
|
||
- The perl backend is hardly used and will be removed; for now we just
|
||
disable it in the build.
|
||
|
||
- Allow outputting messages in json format, closely following the sexp
|
||
output. This adds an (optional) dependency on the Json-Glib library.
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- Bump the minimal required emacs version to 24.4. This was already de-facto
|
||
true, now it is enforced.
|
||
|
||
- In mu4e-bookmarks, allow the `:query` element to take a function (or
|
||
lambda) to dynamically generate the query string.
|
||
|
||
- There is a new message-view for mu4e, based on the Gnus' article-view.
|
||
This bring a lot of (but not all) of the very rich Gnus article-mode
|
||
feature-set to mu4e, such as S/MIME-support, syntax-highlighting,
|
||
|
||
For now this is experimental ("tech preview"), but might replace the
|
||
current message-view in a future release. Enable it with:
|
||
(setq mu4e-view-use-gnus t)
|
||
|
||
Thanks to Christophe Troestler for his work on fixing various encoding
|
||
issues.
|
||
|
||
- Many bug fixes
|
||
|
||
*** guile
|
||
|
||
- Now requires guile 2.2.

** 1.0
|
||
|
||
After a decade of development, *mu 1.0*!
|
||
|
||
Note: the new release requires a C++14 capable compiler.
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- New, custom query parser which replaces Xapian's 'QueryParser'
|
||
both in mu and mu4e. Existing queries should still work, but the new
|
||
engine handles non-alphanumeric queries much better.
|
||
- Support regular expressions in queries (with the new query engine),
|
||
e.g. "subject:/foo.*bar/". See the new `mu-query` and updated `mu-easy`
|
||
manpages for examples.
|
||
- cfind: ensure nicks are unique
|
||
- auxiliary programs invoked from mu/mu4e survive terminating the
|
||
shell / emacs
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- Allow for rewriting message bodies
|
||
- Toggle-menus for header settings
|
||
- electric-quote-(local-)mode work when composing emails
|
||
- Respect format=flowed and delsp=yes for viewing plain-text
|
||
messages
|
||
- Added new mu4e-split-view mode: single-window
|
||
- Add menu item for `untrash'.
|
||
- Unbreak abbrevs in mu4e-compose-mode
|
||
- Allow forwarding messages as attachments
|
||
(`mu4e-compose-forward-as-attachment')
|
||
- New defaults: default to 'skip duplicates' and 'include related'
|
||
in headers-view, which should be good defaults for most users. Can be
|
||
customized using `mu4e-headers-skip-duplicates' and
|
||
`mu4e-headers-include-related', respectively.
|
||
- Many bug fixed (see github for all the details).
|
||
- Updated documentation

** 0.9.18
|
||
|
||
New development series which will lead to 0.9.18.
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- Increase the default maximum size for messages to index to 500
|
||
Mb; you can customize this using the --max-msg-size parameter to mu index.
|
||
- implement "lazy-checking", which makes mu not descend into
|
||
subdirectories when the directory-timestamp is up to date; greatly speeds
|
||
up indexing (see --lazy-check)
|
||
- prefer gpg2 for crypto
|
||
- fix a crash when running on OpenBSD
|
||
- fix --clear-links (broken filenames)
|
||
- You can now set the MU_HOME environment variable as an
|
||
alternative way of setting the mu homedir via the --muhome command-line
|
||
parameter.
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
**** reading messages
|
||
|
||
- Add `mu4e-action-view-with-xwidget`, and action for viewing
|
||
e-mails inside a Webkit-widget inside emacs (requires emacs 25.x with
|
||
xwidget/webkit/gtk3 support)
|
||
- Explicitly specify utf8 for external html viewing, so browsers
|
||
can handle it correctly.
|
||
- Make `shr' the default renderer for rich-text emails (when
|
||
available)
|
||
- Add a :user-agent field to the message-sexp (in mu4e-view), which
|
||
is either the User-Agent or X-Mailer field, when present.
|
||
|
||
**** composing messages
|
||
|
||
- Cleanly handle early exits from message composition as well as while
|
||
composing.
|
||
- Allow for resending existing messages, possibly editing them. M-x
|
||
mu4e-compose-resend, or use the menu; no shortcut.
|
||
- Better handle the closing of separate compose frames
|
||
- Improved font-locking for the compose buffers, and more extensive
|
||
checks for cited parts.
|
||
- automatically sign/encrypt replies to signed/encrypted messages
|
||
(subject to `mu4e-compose-crypto-reply-policy')
|
||
|
||
**** searching & marking
|
||
|
||
- Add a hook `mu4e-mark-execute-pre-hook`, which is run just before
|
||
executing marks.
|
||
- Just before executing any search, a hook-function
|
||
`mu4e-headers-search-hook` is invoked, which receives the search
|
||
expression as its parameter.
|
||
- In addition, there's a `mu4e-headers-search-bookmark-hook` which
|
||
gets called when searches get invoked as a bookmark (note that
|
||
`mu4e-headers-search-hook` will also be called just afterwards). This
|
||
hook also receives the search expression as its parameter.
|
||
- Remove the 'z' keybinding for leaving the headers
|
||
view. Keybindings are precious!
|
||
- Fix parentheses/precedence in narrowing search terms
|
||
|
||
**** indexing
|
||
|
||
- Allow for indexing in the background; see
|
||
`mu4e-index-update-in-background`.
|
||
- Better handle mbsync output in the update buffer
|
||
- Add variables mu4e-index-cleanup and mu4e-index-lazy to enable
|
||
lazy checking from mu4e; you can sit from mu4e using something like:
|
||
#+begin_src elisp
|
||
(setq mu4e-index-cleanup nil ;; don't do a full cleanup check
|
||
mu4e-index-lazy-check t) ;; don't consider up-to-date dirs #+END_SRC
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
**** misc
|
||
|
||
- don't overwrite global-mode-string, append to it.
|
||
- Make org-links (and more general, all users of
|
||
mu4e-view-message-with-message-id) use a headers buffer, then view the
|
||
message. This way, those linked message are just like any other, and can
|
||
be deleted, moved etc.
|
||
- Support org-mode 9.x
|
||
- Improve file-name escaping, and make it support non-ascii filenames
|
||
- Attempt to jump to the same messages after a re-search update operation
|
||
- Add action for spam-filter options
|
||
- Let `mu4e~read-char-choice' become case-insensitive if there is
|
||
no exact match; small convenience that affects most the single-char
|
||
option-reading in mu4e.
|
||
|
||
*** Perl
|
||
|
||
- an experimental Perl binding ("mup") is available now. See
|
||
perl/README.md for details.

|
||
|
||
** 0.9.15
|
||
|
||
- bump version to 0.9.15. From now on, odd minor version numbers
|
||
are for development versions; thus, 0.9.16 is to be the next stable
|
||
release.
|
||
- special case text/calendar attachments to get .vcs
|
||
extensions. This makes it easier to process those with external tools.
|
||
- change the message file names to better conform to the maildir
|
||
spec; this was confusing some tools.
|
||
- fix navigation when not running in split-view mode
|
||
- add `mu4e-view-body-face', so the body-face for message in the
|
||
view can be customized; e.g. (set-face-attribute 'mu4e-view-body-face nil
|
||
:font "Liberation Serif-10")
|
||
- add `mu4e-action-show-thread`, an action for the headers and view
|
||
buffers to search for messages in the same thread as the current one.
|
||
- allow for transforming mailing-list names for display, using
|
||
`mu4e-mailing-list-patterns'.
|
||
- some optimizations in indexing (~30% faster in some cases)
|
||
- new variable mu4e-user-agent-string, to customize the User-Agent:
|
||
header.
|
||
- when removing the "In-reply-to" header from replies, mu4e will
|
||
also remove the (hidden) References header, effectively creating a new
|
||
message-thread.
|
||
- implement 'mu4e-context', for defining and switching between
|
||
various contexts, which are groups of settings. This can be used for
|
||
instance for switch between e-mail accounts. See the section in the manual
|
||
for details.
|
||
- correctly decode mailing-list headers
|
||
- allow for "fancy" mark-characters; and improve the default set
|
||
- by default, the maildirs are no longer cached; please see the
|
||
variable ~mu4e-cache-maildir-list~ if you have a lot of maildirs and it
|
||
gets slow.
|
||
- change the default value for ~org-mu4e-link-query-in-headers-mode~ to ~nil~, ie. by default link to the
|
||
message, not the query, as this is usually more useful behavior.
|
||
- overwrite target message files that already exist, rather than
|
||
erroring out.
|
||
- set mu4e-view-html-plaintext-ratio-heuristic to 5, as 10 was too
|
||
high to detect some effectively html-only messages
|
||
- add mu4e-view-toggle-html (keybinding: 'h') to toggle between
|
||
text and html display. The existing 'mu4e-view-toggle-hide-cited' gets the
|
||
new binding '#'.
|
||
- add a customization variable `mu4e-view-auto-mark-as-read'
|
||
(defaults to t); if set to nil, mu4e won't mark messages as read when you
|
||
open them. This can be useful on read-only file-systems, since
|
||
marking-as-read implies a file-move operation.
|
||
- use smaller chunks for mu server on Cygwin, allowing for better
|
||
mu4e support there.
|
||
|

*** mu/mu4e/guile
|
||
|
||
- NEWS (this file) is now visible from within mu4e – "N" in the main-menu.
|
||
|
||
- make `mu4e-headers-sort-field', `mu4e-headers-sort-direction'
|
||
public (that, is change the prefix from mu4e~ to mu4e-), so users can
|
||
manipulate them
|
||
|
||
- make it possible the 'fancy' (unicode) characters separately for
|
||
headers and marks (see the variable `mu4e-use-fancy-chars'.)
|
||
|
||
- allow for composing in a separate frame (see
|
||
`mu4e-compose-in-new-frame')
|
||
|
||
- add the `:thread-subject' header field, for showing the subject
|
||
for a thread only once. So, instead of (from the manual):

This is a feature known from e.g. `mutt' and `gnus` and many other
|
||
clients, and can be enabled by customizing `mu4e-headers-fields'
|
||
(replacing `:subject' with `:thread-subject')
|
||
|
||
It's not the default yet, but may become so in the future.
|
||
|
||
- add some spam-handling actions to mu4e-contrib.el
|
||
|
||
- mu4e now targets org 8.x, which support for previous versions
|
||
relegated to `org-old-mu4e.el`. Some of the new org-features are improved
|
||
capture templates.
|
||
|
||
- updates to the documentation, in particular about using BBDB.
|
||
|
||
- improved URL-handling (use emacs built-in functionality)
|
||
|
||
- many bug fixes, including some crash fixes on BSD
|
||
|
||
*** guile
|
||
|
||
– add --delete option to the find-dups scripts, to automatically delete
|
||
them. Use with care!
|
||
|
||
** Release 0.9.12
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- truncate /all/ terms the go beyond xapian's max term length
|
||
- lowercase the domain-part of email addresses in mu cfind (and mu4e), if
|
||
the domain is in ascii
|
||
- give messages without msgids fake-message-ids; this fixes the problem
|
||
where such messages were not found in --include-related queries
|
||
- cleanup of the query parser
|
||
- provide fake message-ids for messages without it; fixes #183
|
||
- allow showing tags in 'mu find' output
|
||
- fix CSV quoting
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- update the emacs <-> backend protocol; documented in the mu-server man page
|
||
- show 'None' as date for messages without it (Headers View)
|
||
- add `mu4e-headers-found-hook', `mu4e-update-pre-hook'.
|
||
- split org support in org-old-mu4e.el (org <= 7.x) and org-mu4e.el
|
||
- org: improve template keywords
|
||
- rework URL handling
|
||
|
||
** Release 0.9.5
|
||
|
||
*** mu
|
||
|
||
- allow 'contact:' as a shortcut in queries for 'from:foo OR to:foo OR
|
||
cc:foo OR bcc:foo', and 'recip:' as a shortcut for 'to:foo OR cc:foo OR
|
||
bcc:foo'
|
||
- support getting related messages (--include-related), which includes
|
||
messages that may not match the query, but that are in the same threads as
|
||
messages that were
|
||
- support "list:"/"v:" for matching mailing list names, and the "v"
|
||
format-field to show them. E.g 'mu find list:emacs-orgmode.gnu.org'
|
||
|
||
*** mu4e
|
||
|
||
- scroll down in message view takes you to next message (but see
