* NEWS (user visible changes)
* 1.3.x (unreleased, experimental/development version)
*** mu
- The contacts cache (as uses in ~mu cfind~ and mu4e contact-completion) is
now stored as part of the Xapian database rather than as a separate file.
- 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 mu. Otherwise, after upgrading, you may wish to
delete the old location.
- The ~--xbatchsize~ and ~--autoupgrade~ options for indexing are gone now; both
are determined implicitly now.
- The ~--maildir~ parameter is only used when initializing the database, and
it is stored in that database. Afterwards that its value is used; which
means you cannot change the parameter without rebuilding and this is by
design.
- The ~--my-address~ parameter is persistent as well, but can be overwritten;
note that an updated value only applies to the messages indexed /after/ the
change.
*** mu4e
- 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-contacts-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, ie ~(setq mu4e-view-use-gnus t)~
- Pierre Neidhardt contributed an "Account Setup Helper" which wraps the
existing context setup with some niceties for accounts. See the manual for
details.
- When the mu store (database) is not present or not up to date, mu4e will
attempt to re-index it automatically.
*** 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.
** 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 commadn-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
**** 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 attachements 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

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
`mu4e-view-scroll-to-next')
- support 'human dates', that is, show the time for today's messages, and

- automatically update the headers buffer when new messages are found during
indexing; set `mu4e-headers-auto-update' to nil to disable this.
- update mail/index with M-x mu4e-update-mail-and-index; which everywhere in
mu4e is available with key C-S-u. Use prefix argument to run in
background.

extract). Disabled by default, use --color to enable, or set env MU_COLORS
to non-empty
- update documentation, added more examples
** Release 0.9.5 <2011-04-25 Mon>
- bug fix for infinite loop in Maildir detection
- minor fixes in tests, small optimizations
** Release 0.9.4 <2011-04-12 Tue>
- add the 'cfind' command, to search/export contact information
- add 'flag:unread' as a synonym for 'flag:new OR NOT flag:unseen'
- updated documentation
** Release 0.9.3 <2011-02-13 Sun>
- don't warn about missing files with --quiet
** Release 0.9.2 <2011-02-02 Wed>
- stricter checking of options; and options must now *follow* the sub-command
(if any); so, something like: 'mu index --maildir=/foo/bar'
- output searches as plain text (default), XML, JSON or s-expressions using
--format=plain|xml|json|sexp. For example: 'mu find foobar --output=json'.
These format options are experimental (except for 'plain')
- the --xquery option should now be used as --format=xquery, for output
symlinks, use --format=links. This is a change in the options.
- search output can include the message size using the 'z' shortcut
- match message size ranges (i.e.. size:500k..2M)
- fix: honor the --overwrite (or lack thereof) parameter
- support folder names with special characters (@, ' ', '.' and so on)
- better check for already-running mu index
- when --maildir= is not provided for mu index, default to the last one
- add --max-msg-size, to specify a new maximum message size
- move the 'mug' UI to toys/mug; no longer installable
- better support for Solaris builds, Gentoo.
** Release 0.9.1 <2010-12-05 Sun>
- Add missing icon for mug
- Fix unit tests (Issue #30)
- Fix Fedora 14 build (broken GTK+ 3) (Issue #31)
** Release 0.9 <2010-12-04 Sat>
- you can now search for the message priority ('prio:high', 'prio:low',
'prio:normal')
- you can now search for message flags, e.g. 'flag:attach' for messages with
attachment, or 'flag:encrypted' for encrypted messages
- you can search for time-intervals, e.g. 'date:2010-11-26..2010-11-29' for
messages in that range. See the mu-find(1) and mu-easy(1) man-pages for
details and examples.
- you can store bookmarked queries in ~/.mu/bookmarks
- the 'flags' parameter has been renamed in 'flag'
- add a simple graphical UI for searching, called 'mug'
- fix --clearlinks for file systems without entry->d_type (fixes issue #28)
- make matching case-insensitive and accent-insensitive (accent-insensitive
for characters in Unicode Blocks 'Latin-1 Supplement' and 'Latin
Extended-A')
- more extensive pre-processing is done to make searching for email-addresses
and message-ids less likely to not work (issue #21)
- updated the man-pages
- experimental support for Fedora 14, which uses GMime 2.5.x (fixes issue #29)
** Release 0.8 <2010-10-30 Sat>
- There's now 'mu extract' for getting information about MIME-parts
(attachments) and extracting them
- Queries are now internally converted to lowercase; this solves some of the
false-negative issues
- All mu sub-commands now have their own man-page
- 'mu find' now takes a --summary-len=<n> argument to print a summary of
up-to-n lines of the message
- Same for 'mu view'; the summary replaces the full body
- Setting the mu home dir now goes with -m, --muhome
- --log-stderr, --reindex, --rebuild, --autoupgrade, --nocleanup, --mode,
--linksdir, --clearlinks lost their single char version
** Release 0.7 <2010-02-27 Sat>
- Database format changed
- Automatic database scheme version check, notifies users when an upgrade
is needed
- 'mu view', to view mail message files
- Support for >10K matches
- Support for unattended upgrades - that is, the database can automatically
by upgraded (--autoupgrade). Also, the log file is automatically cleaned
when it gets too big (unless you use --nocleanup)
- Search for a certain Maildir using the maildir:,m: search prefixes. For
example, you can find all messages located in ~/Maildir/foo/bar/cur/msg
~/Maildir/foo/bar/new/msg and with m:/foo/bar this replace the search for
path/p in 0.6
- Fixes for reported issues ()
- A test suite with a growing number of unit tests
** Release 0.6 <2010-01-23 Sat>
- First new release of mu since 2008
