+Vim Front-End
+-------------
+
+The vim based front end to notmuch is deprecated and moved to contrib.
+We haven't been able to support this as well as we would like, and it
+has accumulated bugs and gaps in functionality.  We recommend that
+people packaging notmuch no longer provide binary packages for
+notmuch-vim, but of course that is their decision.

+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.

+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.

+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.

+Fixed errors with HTML email containing images in Emacs 24

 
 

-Date range search support
+  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.

+
+`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.
