NEWS: start section for 0.13

People are making patches for the 0.12 NEWS section for features that
won't be there.

Let's help them out by adding a new stanza.

emacs: Fix search tab completion in terminals

In X, Emacs distinguishes the tab key, which produces a 'tab event;
from C-i, which produces a ?\t event. However, in a terminal, these
are indistinguishable and only produce a ?\t event. In order to
simplify things, Emacs automatically translates from 'tab to ?\t (see
"Function key translations" in M-x describe-bindings), so functions
only need to be bound to ?\t to work in all situations.

Previously, the search tab completion code usedq (kbd "<tab>"), which
produced the event sequence [tab], which only matched the 'tab event
and hence only worked in X. This patch changes it to (kbd "TAB"),
which matches the general ?\t event and works in all situations.

lib: fix an exclude bug

When the exclude tags contain a tag that does not occur anywhere in
the Xapian database the exclusion fails. We modify the way the query
is constructed to `work around' this. (In fact the new code is cleaner
anyway.)

It also seems to fix another exclusion failure bug reported by
jrollins but we have not yet worked out why it helps in that case.

test: add tests for message only search

This adds three tests for --output=messages searches. One test is for
the case when one exclude tag does not occur in the Xapian
database. This triggers a Xapian bug in some cases and causes the
whole exclusion to fail. The next commit avoids this bug.

test: the test for the exclude code mistakenly excludes the tag "="

The tests for the exclude code in search and count use the line
    notmuch config set search.exclude_tags = deleted
which actually sets the exclude tags to be "=" and "deleted". Remove
the "=" from this line.

lib: Add exclude query debug output

2354. By Austin Clements <email address hidden> on 2012-03-18

lib: Expose query debug output via an environment variable

Allow query debugging to be enabled at run-time by setting the
NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY environment variable to a non-empty string.

Previously, enabling query debugging required recompiling, but parsed
queries are often useful for tracking down bugs in situations where
recompiling is inconvenient.

cli: Parsing. Allow true/false parameter for boolean options.

Allow NOTMUCH_OPT_BOOLEAN to take a true or false parameter. In
particular it allows the user to turn off a boolean option with
--option=false.

test: use subtest name for generated message subject by default

Before the change, messages generated by generate_message() used "Test
message #N" for default subject where N is the generated messages
counter. Since message subject is commonly present in expected
results, there is a chance of breaking other tests when a new
generate_message() call is added. The patch changes default subject
value for generated messages to subtest name if it is available. If
subtest name is not available (i.e. message is generated during test
initialization), the old default value is used (in this case it is
fine to have the counter in the subject).

Another benefit of this change is a sane default value for subject in
generated messages, which would allow to simplify code like:

  test_begin_subtest "test for a cool feature"
  add_message [subject]="message for test for a cool feature"

test: remove "Generate some messages" test from raw

Before the change, the first subtest in raw format tests just
generated messages and checked that they are added successfully. This
is not really a raw format test, it is creating of environment
required for other subtests to run. The patch removes the first
subtest from raw and replaces it with bare add_message calls, similar
to how it is done in other tests.

TODO: we should check that test environment was created successfully.
Currently, many tests do add_message(), notmuch new and other calls
without checking the results. We should come up with a general
solution for this, i.e. if any command during test initialization
fails, all tests should be skipped with appropriate error message.
