+
+Notmuch 0.29 (2019-06-07)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+Add "body:" field to allow searching for terms that occur only in the
+message body. Users will need to reindex their mail to take advantage
+of this feature.
+
+Add support for indexing user specified headers (e.g. List-Id). See
+notmuch-config(1) for details. This requires reindexing after changing
+the set of headers to be indexed.
+
+Fix bug for searching in some headers for Xapian keywords in quoted
+strings.
+
+Add support for gzip compressed mail messages (/not/ multi-message
+mboxes); e.g. `gzip -9 $MAIL/archive/giant-message && notmuch new`
+should work. Note that maildir flag syncing for gzipped messages is
+currently untested.
+
+Notmuch is now capable of indexing, searching and rendering
+cryptographically-protected Subject: headers of the form produced by
+Enigmail and K-9 mail in encrypted messages.
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+`notmuch show` now supports `--body=false` and `--include-html` with
+`--format=text`.
+
+Fix several performance problems with `notmuch reindex`.
+
+`notmuch show` and `notmuch reply` now emit per-message cryptographic
+status in their json and sexp output formats.  See devel/schemata for
+more details about what is included there.  This status includes
+information about cryptographic protections for the Subject header.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+Optionally check for missing attachements in outgoing messages (see
+function `notmuch-mua-attachment-check`).
+
+Bind `B` to browse URLs in current message.
+
+Bind `g` to refresh the current notmuch buffer.
+
+Editing a message as new now includes an FCC header.
+
+Forwarded messages are now tagged as +forwarded (customizable).
+
+Add references header to link forwarded message to thread of original
+message.
+
+The minimum supported major version of Emacs is now 24.
+
+Support for GNU Emacs older than 25.1 is deprecated with this release,
+and may be removed in a future release.
+
+Notmuch-emacs documentation is somewhat expanded. More contributions
+are very welcome.
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+Notmuch release tarballs are now compressed with `xz`.
+
+We now provide conventional detached signatures of the release
+tarballs in addition to the signed `sha256sum` files.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+Support for GMime 2.6 is removed. The minimum supported version of
+GMime is now 3.0.3.  GMime also needs to have been compiled with
+cryptography support.
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+If either GNU parallel or moreutils parallel is installed, the tests
+in the test suite will now be run in parallel (one per available
+core).  This can be disabled with NOTMUCH_TEST_SERIALIZE=1.
