+Init file

 Changed format for saved searches
 
   The format for `notmuch-saved-searches` has changed, but old style

+The keys of `notmuch-tag-formats` are now regexps
+
+  Previously, the keys were literal strings.  Customized settings of
+  `notmuch-tag-formats` will continue to work as before unless tags
+  contain regexp special characters like `.` or `*`.
+
+Changed tags are now shown in the buffer
+
+  Previously tag changes made in a buffer were shown immediately. In
+  some cases (particularly automatic tag changes like marking read)
+  this made it hard to see what had happened (e.g., whether the
+  message had been unread).
+
+  The changes are now shown explicitly in the buffer: by default
+  deleted tags are displayed with red strike-through and added tags
+  are displayed underlined in green (inverse video is used for deleted
+  tags if the terminal does not support strike-through).
+
+  The variables `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` and
+  `notmuch-tag-added-formats`, which have the same syntax as
+  `notmuch-tag-formats`, allow this to be customized.
+
+  Setting `notmuch-tag-deleted-formats` to `'((".*" nil))` and
+  `notmuch-tag-added-formats` to `'((".*" tag))` will give the old
+  behavior of hiding deleted tags and showing added tags identically
+  to tags already present.
+
+Version variable
+
+  The new, build-time generated variable `notmuch-emacs-version` is used
+  to distinguish between notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions.
+  The function `notmuch-hello-versions` (bound to 'v' in notmuch-hello
+  window) prints both notmuch cli and notmuch emacs versions in case
+  these differ from each other.
+  This is especially useful when using notmuch remotely.
+
+Ido-completing-read initialization in Emacs 23
+
+  `ido-completing-read` in Emacs 23 versions 1 through 3 freezes unless
+  it is initialized. Defadvice-based *Ido* initialization is defined
+  for these Emacs versions.

 Bug fix for saved searches with newlines in them
 
   Split lines confuse `notmuch count --batch`, so we remove embedded
   newlines before calling notmuch count.
 
+Bug fixes for sender identities
+
+  Previously, Emacs would rewrite some sender identities in unexpected
+  and undesirable ways.  Now it will use identities exactly as
+  configured in `notmuch-identities`.
+
+Replies to encrypted messages will be encrypted by default
+
+  In the interest of maintaining confidentiality of communications,
+  the Notmuch Emacs interface now automatically adds the mml tag to
+  encrypt replies to encrypted messages. This should make it less
+  likely to accidentally reply to encrypted messages in plain text.
