+Improved error reporting in notmuch new

+  Give more details when reporting certain Xapian exceptions.

+Support maildir synced tags in `new.tags`
+
+  Tags `draft`, `flagged`, `passed`, and `replied` are now supported
+  in `new.tags`. The tag `unread` is still special in the presence of
+  maildir syncing, and will be added for files in `new/` regardless of
+  the setting of `new.tags`.

+Library Changes
+---------------
+
+Indexing files with duplicate message-id
+
+  Files with duplicate message-id's are now indexed, and searchable
+  via terms and phrases. There are known issues related to
+  presentation of results and regular-expression search, but in
+  principle no mail file should be completely unsearchable now.
+
+New functions to count files
+
+  Two new functions in the libnotmuch API:
+  `notmuch_message_count_files`, and `notmuch_thread_get_total_files`.
+
+Change of return value of `notmuch_thread_get_authors`
+
+  In certain corner cases, `notmuch_thread_get_authors` previously
+  returned NULL.  This has been replaced by an empty string, since the
+  possibility of NULL was not documented.
+
+Python Bindings
+---------------
+
+Python bindings specific Debian packaging is removed
+
+  The bindings have been build by the top level Debian packaging for a
+  long time, and `bindings/python/debian` has bit-rotted.
+
+Open mail files in binary mode when using Python 3
+
+  This avoids certain encoding related crashes under Python 3.
+
+Add python bindings for notmuch_database_{get,set}_config*
+
+nmbug
+-----
+
+nmbug's internal version increases to 0.3 in this notmuch release.
+User-facing changes with this notmuch release:
+
+* Accept failures to unset `core.worktree` in `clone`, which allows
+  nmbug to be used with Git 2.11.0 and later.
+* Auto-checkout in `clone` if it wouldn't clobber existing content,
+  which makes the initial clone more convenient.
+* Only error for invalid diff lines in `tags/`, which allows for
+  `README`s and similar in nmbug repositories.
