 Notmuch 0.18~rc0 (2014-04-22)
 =============================
 
+Overview
+--------
+
+This new release includes some enhancements to searching for messages
+by filesystem location (`folder:` and `path:` prefixes under *General*
+below).  Saved searches in *Emacs* have also been enhanced to allow
+distinct search orders for each one.  Another enhancement to the
+*Emacs* interface is that replies to encrypted messages are now
+encrypted, reducing the risk of unintentional information disclosure.
+The default dump output format has changed to the more robust
+`batch-tag` format. The previously deprecated parsing of single
+message mboxes has been removed. For detailed release notes, see
+below.

+Support for indexing mbox files has been dropped
+
+  There has never been proper support for mbox files containing
+  multiple messages, and the support for single-message mbox files has
+  been deprecated since Notmuch 0.15. The support has now been
+  dropped, and all mbox files will be rejected during indexing.
+
+Message header parsing changes
+
+  Notmuch previously had an internal parser for message headers. The
+  parser has now been dropped in favour of letting GMime parse both
+  the headers and the message MIME structure at the same pass. This is
+  mostly an internal change, but the GMime parser is stricter in its
+  interpretation of the headers. This may result in messages with
+  slightly malformed message headers being now rejected.
