Since we require meson 1.3(.2), we can modernize the usage a bit,
as well as improve some logic
- use / instead of join_paths
- use option.allowed() instead of !option.disable()
- use cxx.get_supported_arguments
- use fs.copyfile instead of configure_file
- show a summary at the end of the configuration
Support "system" properties, i.e., library versions, whether
language-detection, scm is supported.
Make these more generic (with display strings), so we can handle them
more automatic int mu-cmd-info.
New stable version:
- silence some MIME part errors
- some emacs 28.1+ modernization
- list org links with M-x mu4e-org-agenda-links
- when replying to a message with some part selected, cite only that
part
- fix parsing of the Keywords: headers. If you use those, you're
recommend to re-index your message
New stable version:
- Improvements in documentation
- Improvements in display of attachments / MIME-parts
- Better HTML toggling
- Support MIME icons
- Bug fixes
A new major version. Not so much has changed since the last of the 1.12
series, 1.12.15, but a bunch of small fixes and:
- updated requirements:
- require C++20
- require meson 1.3.2
- require glib & friend: 2.80
- require xapian 1.4.22
- emacs 28.1 (for mu4e)
- warn for deprecated guile (use scm)
- a number of code-cleanups since we can use C++20 now
- indexing: substantial speed-up of the clean-up phase
- scm: support the --eval command-line option
- mu4e: improve message rendering; get rid of some the unnecessary
body-part mime indication noise
- mu4e: allow including received patches when replying, see
mu4e-compose-reply-include-mime-types
NEWS.org has more details.
Bump the required versions of some libraries / emacs slightly so we can get rid
of some special-casing and work-arounds. These are mostly based on Ubuntu 24.04
LTS, which is rather conservative; so should hopefully not inconvenience any
users.
- compiler: we now require C++20 instead of C++17
- glib & friends: 2.60 => 2.80
- xapian: 1.4 => 1.4.22
- emacs 26.3 => 28.1
Ubuntu 24.04 actually has Emacs 29.3, but that'd perhaps be too big a jump.
New stable release.
Nothing too spectacular, but a various small tweaks:
- improved guix (and other systems) compatibility: make fewer assumptions about where system programs are
- documentations improvements, in manpages and the mu4e reference manual
- labels: better messages when importing
- scm: stabilize tests. tweaks api.
- mu4e: add mu4e-view-mark-and-next
- mu4e: mu4e-dbus-mode; a new experimental minor in which mu4e exposes some of
its data over DBus.
Unlike earlier development releases, we use the "pre"` suffix, so 1.12.14-pre3
rather than 1.12.14-dev3. This for compatibility with the version-to-string
Elisp function that some external programs use to parse version information.
New stable release 1.12.13. This contains improvements to the build process, the
Guile/Scheme binding ("SCM") and a new experimental "labels" sub-command. Let's
start with that last one.
* Labels
There's a new, experimental feature: *labels*. Labels are similar to the
existing "tags", but better integrated with both mu and mu4e,
You can search for message with a given label using 'label:', e.g
$ mu find label:tupperware
Or add/remove labels, e.g., remove the label "planet" and add the label
"dwarf-planet" to all messages that have "pluto" in their subject:
$ mu labels update "subject:pluto" --labels -planet,+dwarf-planet
Clear all labels from messages with the label "boring":
$ mu labels clear "label:boring"
Labels are only stored in mu's database, and do not write to the message file
themselves. I.e., when you remove your database, your labels are gone. However,
you can use the `mu labels export` and `mu labels import` to save/restore them;
see the mu-labels(1) man-page for details.
In mu4e, you can do the same using `mu4e-headers-mark-for-label` (bound to `l`)
and clearing with `mu4e-headers-mark-for-unlabel` (bound to 'L').
I.e., mark some messages (or the current one by default), and in the
headers-buffer type
l -planet +dwarf-planet RET
This works similar to the other marks.
There's autocompletion as well, both for search (label:) and marking (after +/-)
It's experimental, but it seems quite useful so far. See the man-page for
further details.
* SCM
The SCM/Guile bindings have been improved substantially; some common operations
are much faster (algorithmically). Also, the "glue" was added to interact with
Emacs and the "geiser" package, either with or without mu4e.
For the "plain Emacs" integraticon, see the Mu-SCM documentation, section
`Hooking up with GNU/Emacs and Geiser'.
For the mu4e integration, see the chapter `Using mu's SCM/Guile integration' in
the mu4e reference manual; or check the `mu4e-mu-scm-server' configuration
variable and the `mu4e-mu-scm-repl' command.
Future version will add more, and start answering questions like "Why would I
even want SCM bindings?!" :-)
* Building
- by default, tests are built 'lazily', i.e., only when running tests;
this speeds up the build considerably for people that don't want to run
tests (there's also -Btest=disabled of course)
- when available/found, mu now (by default) uses the system versions of CLI11
and libfmt, rather than mu's "vendored" versions.
You can influence where the build system (i.e., meson) looks through the
`PKG_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable (see the pkg-config/pkgconf man-pages),
and you can disable
mu embeds a "vendored" version of libcl11 under thirdparty/; but it's
better to use the system-package if the user has one.
So, use the system package if found or user -Duse-embedded-cli11=true is
specified.
mu embeds a "vendored" subset of the libfmt package under thirdparty; but it's
better to use the system-package if the user has one.
So, use the system package if found or user -Duse-embedded-fmt=true is
specified.
New stable version. Some small fixes and doc updates; big new thing are
the new SCM bindings (under scm/), which will replace the
long-deprecated old bindings (under guile/).
Overall:
- In 'mu init', --my-address has been renamed into --personal-address
for consistency. The old name still works.
Mu4e:
- Emacs bookmarks can be now also be created for mu4e queries; see
the mu4e-emacs-bookmark-policy defcustom
- Support dash when completing maildirs
- Add defcustom for mu4e-compose-jump-to-reasonable-place, so it can be
overridden, e.g. in compose hooks.
- In mu4e, make indexing snappier when there no new messages
SCM:
- Experimental new Guile bindings under scm/, including a reference
manual and unit tests.
This function only appeared in gmime versions newer than the minimum one we
require; since we only need this function in the new/experimental "scm", we make
the latter conditional on that function.
Fixes#2859.
Implement accessing the MIME-parts + docs + test.
Implement saving attachments to file.
Implement creating messages from files.
Refactor / rename functions to be more uniform.
