+Transition `notmuch_database_add_message` to `notmuch_database_index_file`
+
+ When indexing an e-mail message, the new
+ `notmuch_database_index_file` function is the preferred form, and
+ the old `notmuch_database_add_message` is deprecated. The new form
+ allows passing a set of options to the indexing engine, which the
+ operator may decide to change from message to message.
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Out-of-tree builds
+
+ The test suite now works properly with out-of-tree builds, i.e. with
+ separate source and build directories. The --root option to tests
+ has been dropped. The same can now be achieved more reliably using
+ out-of-tree builds.
+
+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*`
+
+Optional `decrypt_policy` flag is available for notmuch.database().index_file()
+
