+Notmuch 0.16 (2013-MM-DD)
+=========================
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Decrypting commands explicitly expect a gpg-agent
+
+ Decryption in `notmuch show` and `notmuch reply` has only ever
+ worked with a functioning gpg-agent. This is now made explicit in
+ code and documentation. The functional change is that it's now
+ possible to have gpg-agent running, but gpg "use-agent"
+ configuration option disabled, not forcing the user to use the agent
+ everywhere.
+
+`notmuch count --batch` option
+
+ `notmuch count` now supports batch operations similar to `notmuch
+ tag`. This is mostly an optimization for remote notmuch usage.
+
+Configuration file saves follow symbolic links
+
+ The notmuch commands that save the configuration file now follow
+ symbolic links instead of overwrite them.
+
+`notmuch tag` option to remove all tags from matching messages
+
+ `notmuch tag --remove-all` option has been added to remove all tags
+ from matching messages. This can be combined with adding new tags,
+ resulting in setting (rather than modifying) the tags of the
+ messages.
+
+Top level option to specify configuration file
+
+ It's now possible to specify the configuration file to use on the
+ command line using the `notmuch --config=FILE` option.
+
+Deprecated commands "part" and "search-tags" are removed.
+
+Bash command-line completion
+
+ The notmuch command-line completion support for the bash shell has
+ been rewritten. Supported completions include all the notmuch
+ commands, command-line arguments, values for keyword arguments,
+ search prefixes (such as "subject:" or "from:") in all commands that
+ use search terms, tags after + and - in `notmuch tag`, tags after
+ "tag:" prefix, user's email addresses after "from:" and "to:"
+ prefixes, and config options (and some config option values) in
+ `notmuch config`. The new completion support depends on the
+ bash-completion package.
+
+Support for delivering messages to Maildir
+
+ There is a new command `insert` that adds a message to a Maildir
+ folder and notmuch index.
+
+Vim Front-End
+-------------
+
+The vim based front-end has been replaced with a new one that uses the Ruby
+bindings. The old font-end is available in the contrib subfolder.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+New keymap to view/save parts; removed s/v/o/| part button bindings
+
+ The commands to view, save, and open MIME parts are now prefixed
+ with "." (". s" to save, ". v" to view, etc) and can be invoked with
+ point anywhere in a part, unlike the old commands, which were
+ restricted to part buttons. The old "s"/"v"/"o"/"|" commands on
+ part buttons have been removed since they clashed with other
+ bindings (notably "s" for search!) and could not be invoked when
+ there was no part button. The new, prefixed bindings appear in
+ show's help, so you no longer have to memorize them.
+
+Default part save directory is now `mm-default-directory`
+
+ Previously, notmuch offered to save parts and attachments to a mix
+ of `mm-default-directory`, `mailcap-download-directory`, and `~/`.
+ This has been standardized on `mm-default-directory`.
+
+Better handling of errors in search buffers
+
+ Instead of interleaving errors in search result buffers, search mode
+ now reports errors in the minibuffer.
+
+Faster search results
+
+ Communication between search mode and the notmuch CLI is now more
+ efficient because it uses the CLI's S-expression support. As a
+ result, search mode should now fill search buffers faster.
+
+No Emacs 22 support
+
+ The Emacs 22 support added late 2010 was sufficient only for a short
+ period of time. After being incomplete for roughly 2 years the code
+ in question was now removed from this release.
+
+Key bindings for next/previous thread
+
+ Show view has new key bindings M-n and M-p to move to the next and
+ previous thread in the search results.
+
+Python Bindings
+---------------
+
+Fix loading of libnotmuch shared library on OS X (Darwin) systems.
+
+Notmuch 0.15.2 (2013-02-17)
+===========================
+
+Build fixes
+-----------
+
+Update dependencies to avoid problems when building in parallel.
+
+Internal test framework changes
+-------------------------------
+
+Adjust Emacs test watchdog mechanism to cope with `process-attributes`
+being unimplemented.
+
+Notmuch 0.15.1 (2013-01-24)
+===========================
+
+Internal test framework changes
+-------------------------------
+
+Set a default value for TERM when running tests. This fixes certain
+build failures in non-interactive environments.
+
+Notmuch 0.15 (2013-01-18)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+Date range search support
+
+ The `date:` prefix can now be used in queries to restrict the results
+ to only messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
+ header) with a range syntax of `date:<since>..<until>`. Notmuch
+ supports a wide variety of expressions in `<since>` and
+ `<until>`. Please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms(7)` manual page
+ for details.
+
+Empty tag names and tags beginning with "-" are deprecated
+
+ Such tags have been a frequent source of confusion and cause
+ (sometimes unresolvable) conflicts with other syntax. notmuch tag
+ no longer allows such tags to be added to messages. Removing such
+ tags continues to be supported to allow cleanup of existing tags,
+ but may be removed in a future release.
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+`notmuch new` no longer chokes on mboxes
+
+ `notmuch new` now rejects mbox files containing more than one
+ message, rather than treating the file as one giant message.
+
+Support for single message mboxes is deprecated
+
+ For historical reasons, `notmuch new` will index mbox files
+ containing a single message; however, this behavior is now
+ officially deprecated.
+
+Fixed `notmuch new` to skip ignored broken symlinks
+
+ `notmuch new` now correctly skips symlinks if they are in the
+ ignored files list. Previously, it would abort when encountering
+ broken symlink, even if it was ignored.
+
+New dump/restore format and tagging interface
+
+ There is a new `batch-tag` format for dump and restore that is more
+ robust, particularly with respect to tags and message-ids containing
+ whitespace.
+
+ `notmuch tag` now supports the ability to read tag operations and
+ queries from an input stream, in a format compatible with the new
+ dump/restore format.
+
+Bcc and Reply-To headers are now available in notmuch show json output
+
+ The `notmuch show --format=json` now includes "Bcc" and "Reply-To" headers.
+ For example notmuch Emacs client can now have these headers visible
+ when the headers are added to the `notmuch-message-headers` variable.
+
+CLI callers can now request a specific output format version
+
+ `notmuch` subcommands that support structured output now support a
+ `--format-version` argument for requesting a specific version of the
+ structured output, enabling better compatibility and error handling.
+
+`notmuch search` has gained a null character separated text output format
+
+ The new --format=text0 output format for `notmuch search` prints
+ output separated by null characters rather than newline
+ characters. This is similar to the find(1) -print0 option, and works
+ together with the xargs(1) -0 option.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Removal of the deprecated `notmuch-folders` variable
+
+ `notmuch-folders` has been deprecated since the introduction of saved
+ searches and the notmuch hello view in notmuch 0.3. `notmuch-folders`
+ has now been removed. Any remaining users should migrate to
+ `notmuch-saved-searches`.
+
+Visibility of MIME parts can be toggled
+
+ Each part of a multi-part MIME email can now be shown or hidden
+ using the button at the top of each part (by pressing RET on it or
+ by clicking). For emails with multiple alternative formats (e.g.,
+ plain text and HTML), only the preferred format is shown initially,
+ but other formats can be shown using their part buttons. To control
+ the behavior of this, see
+ `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` and
+ `notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts`.
+
+ Note notmuch-show-print-message (bound to '#' by default) will print
+ all parts of multipart/alternative message regardless of whether
+ they are currently hidden or shown in the buffer.
+
+Emacs now buttonizes mid: links
+
+ mid: links are a standardized way to link to messages by message ID
+ (see RFC 2392). Emacs now hyperlinks mid: links to the appropriate
+ notmuch search.
+
+Handle errors from bodypart insertions
+
+ If displaying the text of a message in show mode causes an error (in
+ the `notmuch-show-insert-part-*` functions), notmuch no longer cuts
+ off thread display at the offending message. The error is now
+ simply displayed in place of the message.
+
+Emacs now detects version mismatches with the notmuch CLI
+
+ Emacs now detects and reports when the Emacs interface version and
+ the notmuch CLI version are incompatible.
+
+Improved text/calendar content handling
+
+ Carriage returns in embedded text/calendar content caused insertion
+ of the calendar content fail. Now CRs are removed before calling icalendar
+ to extract icalendar data. In case icalendar extraction fails an error
+ is thrown for the bodypart insertion function to deal with.
+
+Disabled coding conversions when reading in `with-current-notmuch-show-message`
+
+ Depending on the user's locale, saving attachments containing 8-bit
+ data may have performed an unintentional encoding conversion,
+ corrupting the saved attachment. This has been fixed by making
+ `with-current-notmuch-show-message` disable coding conversion.
+
+Fixed errors with HTML email containing images in Emacs 24
+
+ Emacs 24 ships with a new HTML renderer that produces better output,
+ but is slightly buggy. We work around a bug that caused it to fail
+ for HTML email containing images.
+
+Fixed handling of tags with unusual characters in them
+
+ Emacs now handles tags containing spaces, quotes, and parenthesis.
+
+Fixed buttonization of id: links without quote characters
+
+ Emacs now correctly buttonizes id: links where the message ID is not
+ quoted.
+
+`notmuch-hello` refresh point placement improvements
+
+ Refreshing the `notmuch-hello` buffer does a better job of keeping
+ the point where it was.
+
+Automatic tag changes are now unified and customizable
+
+ All the automatic tag changes that the Emacs interface makes when
+ reading, archiving, or replying to messages, can now be
+ customized. Any number of tag additions and removals is supported
+ through the `notmuch-show-mark-read`, `notmuch-archive-tags`, and
+ `notmuch-message-replied-tags` customization variables.
+
+Support for stashing the thread id in show view
+
+ Invoking `notmuch-show-stash-message-id` with a prefix argument
+ stashes the (local and database specific) thread id of the current
+ thread instead of the message id.
+
+New add-on tool: notmuch-pick
+-----------------------------
+
+The new contrib/ tool `notmuch-pick` is an experimental threaded message
+view for the emacs interface. Each message is one line in the results
+and the thread structure is shown using UTF-8 box drawing characters
+(similar to Mutt's threaded view). It comes between search and show in
+terms of amount of output and can be useful for viewing both single
+threads and multiple threads. See the notmuch-pick README file for
+further details and installation.
+
+Portability
+-----------
+
+notmuch now builds on OpenBSD.
+
+Internal test framework changes
+-------------------------------
+
+The emacsclient binary is now user-configurable
+
+ The test framework now accepts `TEST_EMACSCLIENT` in addition to
+ `TEST_EMACS` for configuring the emacsclient to use. This is
+ necessary to avoid using an old emacsclient with a new emacs, which
+ can result in buggy behavior.
+
+Notmuch 0.14 (2012-08-20)
+=========================
+
+General bug fixes
+-----------------
+
+Maildir tag synchronization
+
+ Maildir flag-to-tag synchronization now applies only to messages in
+ maildir-like directory structures. Previously, it applied to any
+ message that had a maildir "info" part, which meant it could
+ incorrectly synchronize tags for non-maildir messages, while at the
+ same time failing to synchronize tags for newly received maildir
+ messages (typically causing new messages to not receive the "unread"
+ tag).
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+ The deprecated positional output file argument to `notmuch dump` has
+ been replaced with an `--output` option. The input file positional
+ argument to `notmuch restore` has been replaced with an `--input`
+ option for consistency with dump. These changes simplify the syntax
+ of dump/restore options and make them more consistent with other
+ notmuch commands.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Search results now get re-colored when tags are updated
+
+The formatting of tags in search results can now be customized
+
+ Previously, attempting to change the format of tags in
+ `notmuch-search-result-format` would usually break tagging from
+ search-mode. We no longer make assumptions about the format.
+
+Experimental support for multi-line search result formats
+
+ It is now possible to embed newlines in
+ `notmuch-search-result-format` to make individual search results
+ span multiple lines.
+
+Next/previous in search and show now move by boundaries
+
+ All "next" and "previous" commands in the search and show modes now
+ move to the next/previous result or message boundary. This doesn't
+ change the behavior of "next", but "previous" commands will first
+ move to the beginning of the current result or message if point is
+ inside the result or message.
+
+Search now uses the JSON format internally
+
+ This should address problems with unusual characters in authors and
+ subject lines that could confuse the old text-based search parser.
+
+The date shown in search results is no longer padded before applying
+user-specified formatting
+
+ Previously, the date in the search results was padded to fixed width
+ before being formatted with `notmuch-search-result-format`. It is
+ no longer padded. The default format has been updated, but if
+ you've customized this variable, you may have to change your date
+ format from `"%s "` to `"%12s "`.
+
+The thread-id for the `target-thread` argument for `notmuch-search` should
+now be supplied without the "thread:" prefix.
+
+Notmuch 0.13.2 (2012-06-02)
+===========================
+
+Bug-fix release
+---------------
+
+Update `contrib/notmuch-deliver` for API changes in 0.13. This fixes a
+compilation error for this contrib package.
+
+Notmuch 0.13.1 (2012-05-29)
+===========================
+
+Bug-fix release
+---------------
+
+Fix inserting of UTF-8 characters from *text/plain* parts in reply
+
+ While notmuch gained ability to insert content from other than *text/plain*
+ parts of email whenever *text/plain* parts are not available (notably
+ HTML-only emails), replying to mails that do have *text/plain* the
+ non-ASCII characters were incorrectly decoded. This is now fixed.
+
+`notmuch_database_get_directory` and
+`notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename` now work on read-only
+databases
+
+ Previously, these functions attempted to create directory documents
+ that didn't exist and would return an error or abort when given a
+ read-only database. Now they no longer create directory documents
+ and simply return a `NULL` object if the directory does not exist,
+ as documented.
+
+Fix compilation of ruby bindings
+
+ Revert to dynamic linking, since the statically linked bindings did
+ not work well.
+

=========================
