+Support maildir synced tags in `new.tags`

+  Tags `draft`, `flagged`, `passed`, and `replied` are now supported

+Emacs
+-----
+
+Guard against concurrent searches in notmuch-tree
+
+Use make-process when available
+
+  This allows newer Emacs to separate stdout and stderr from the
+  notmuch command without using temporary files.
+
+Library Changes
+---------------
+
+Indexing files with duplicate message-id
+
+  Files with duplicate message-id's are now indexed, and searchable
+  via terms and phrases. There are known issues related to
+  presentation of results and regular-expression search, but in
+  principle no mail file should be completely unsearchable now.
+
+New functions to count files
+
+  Two new functions in the libnotmuch API:
+  `notmuch_message_count_files`, and `notmuch_thread_get_total_files`.
+
+New function to remove properties
+
+  A new function was added to the libnotmuch API to make it easier to
+  drop all properties with a common pattern:
+  `notmuch_message_remove_all_properties_with_prefix`
+
+Change of return value of `notmuch_thread_get_authors`
+
+  In certain corner cases, `notmuch_thread_get_authors` previously
+  returned NULL.  This has been replaced by an empty string, since the
+  possibility of NULL was not documented.
+
+Transition `notmuch_database_add_message` to `notmuch_database_index_file`
+
+   When indexing an e-mail message, the new
+   `notmuch_database_index_file` function is the preferred form, and
+   the old `notmuch_database_add_message` is deprecated.  The new form
+   allows passing a set of options to the indexing engine, which the
+   operator may decide to change from message to message.
+
+Test Suite

+
+  The test suite now works properly with out-of-tree builds, i.e. with
+  separate source and build directories. The --root option to tests
+  has been dropped. The same can now be achieved more reliably using
+  out-of-tree builds.
+
+Python Bindings
+---------------
+
+Python bindings specific Debian packaging is removed
+
+  The bindings have been build by the top level Debian packaging for a
+  long time, and `bindings/python/debian` has bit-rotted.
+
+Open mail files in binary mode when using Python 3
+
+  This avoids certain encoding related crashes under Python 3.
+
+Add python bindings for `notmuch_database_{get,set}_config*`
+
+Optional `decrypt_policy` flag is available for notmuch.database().index_file()
