 Notmuch 0.23 (UNRELEASED)

+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.
