+Notmuch 0.23 (2016-10-03)
+=========================
+
+General (Xapian 1.4+)
+---------------------
+
+Compiling against Xapian 1.4 enables several new features.
+
+### Support for single argument date: queries
+
+`date:<expr>` is equivalent to `date:<expr>..<expr>`.
+
+### Support for blocking opens
+
+When opening a database notmuch by default will wait for another
+process to release a write lock, rather than returning an error.
+
+### Support for named queries
+
+Named queries (also known as 'saved searches') can be defined with a
+`query:name` format. The expansion of these queries is stored in the
+database and they can be used from any notmuch client.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+### Message property API
+
+libnotmuch now supports the attachment of arbitrary key-value pairs
+to messages. These can be used by various tools to manage their
+private data without polluting the user tag space. They also support
+iteration of values with the same key or same key prefix.
+
+### Bug fix for `notmuch_directory_set_mtime`
+
+Update cached mtime to match on-disk mtime.
+
+CLI
+---
+
+### Support for compile time options
+
+A group of `built_with` keys is now supported for notmuch
+config. Initial keys in this group are `compact`, `field_processor`,
+and `retry_lock`.
+
+### Dump/Restore support for configuration information and properties
+
+Any configuration information stored in the database (initially just
+named queries) is dumped and restored. Similarly any properties
+attached to messages are also dumped and restored. Any new
+information in the dump format is prefixed by '#' to allow existing
+scripts to ignore it.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+### Make notmuch-message-mode use insert for fcc
+
+Notmuch-message-mode now defaults to using notmuch insert for
+fcc. The old file based fcc behaviour can be restored by setting the
+defcustom `notmuch-maildir-use-notmuch-insert` to nil.
+
+When using notmuch insert, `notmuch-fcc-dirs` must be a subdirectory
+of the mailstore (absolute paths are not permitted) followed by any
+tag changes to be applied to the inserted message. The tag changes
+are applied after the default tagging for new messages. For example
+setting the header to "sentmail -inbox +sent" would insert the
+message in the subdirectory sentmail of the mailstore, add the tag
+"sent", and not add the (normally added) "inbox" tag.
+
+Finally, if the insert fails (e.g. if the database is locked) the
+user is presented with the option to retry, ignore, or edit the
+header.
+
+### Make internal address completion customizable
+
+There is a new defcustom `notmuch-address-internal-completion` which
+controls how the internal completion works: it allows the user to
+choose whether to match on messages the user sent, or the user
+received, and to filter the messages used for the match, for example
+by date.
+
+### Allow internal address completion on an individual basis
+
+There is a new function `notmuch-address-toggle-internal-completion`
+(by default it has no keybinding) which allows users who normally
+use an external completion command to use the builtin internal
+completion for the current buffer.
+
+Alternatively, if the user has company-mode enabled, then the user
+can use company mode commands such as `company-complete` to
+activate the builtin completion for an individual completion.
+
+### Resend messages
+
+The function `notmuch-show-resend-message` (bound to `b` in show
+and tree modes) will (attempt to) send current message to new
+recipients. The headers of the message won't be altered (e.g. `To:`
+may point to yourself). New `Resent-To:`, `Resent-From:` and so on
+will be added instead.
+
+### Face customization is easier
+
+New faces `notmuch-tag-unread`, `notmuch-tag-flagged`,
+`notmuch-tag-deleted`, `notmuch-tag-added`,
+`notmuch-search-flagged-face` and `notmuch-search-unread-face` are
+now used by default. Customize `notmuch-faces` to modify them.
+
+### Omit User-Agent header by default when sending mail
+
+Ruby Bindings
+-------------
+
+### Add support for `notmuch_database_get_all_tags`
+
+Go Bindings
+-----------
+
+### Go bindings moved to contrib
+
+### Add support for `notmuch_threads_t` and `notmuch_thread_t`
+
+### Fixed constant values so they are not all zero anymore
+
+Previously, it was impossible to open writable database handles,
+because `DATABASE_MODE_READ_ONLY` and `DATABASE_MODE_READ_WRITE` were
+both set to zero.
+The same issue occured with sort modes.
