+`notmuch insert` requires succesful message indexing for success status
+
+  Previously the `notmuch insert` subcommand indicated success even if
+  the message indexing failed, as long as the message was delivered to
+  file system. This could have lead to delivered messages missing
+  tags, etc. `notmuch insert` is now more strict, also requiring
+  succesful indexing for success status. Use the new `--keep` option
+  to revert to the old behaviour (keeping the delivered message file
+  and returning success even if indexing fails).
+
+`notmuch insert` has gained support for `post-insert` hook
+
+  The new `post-insert` hook is run after message delivery, similar to
+  `post-new`. There's also a new option `notmuch insert --no-hooks` to
+  skip the hook. See the notmuch-hooks(1) man page for details.
+
+`notmuch search` now supports `--duplicate=N` option with `--output=messages`
+
+  Complementing the `notmuch search --duplicate=N --output=files`
+  options, the new `--duplicate=N --output=messages` combination
+  limits output of message IDs to messages matching search terms that
+  have at least `N` files associated with them.

+`notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports functions
+
+  Some list archives may use a more complicated scheme for referring
+  to messages than just concatenated URL and message ID. For example,
+  patchwork requires a query to translate message ID to a patchwork
+  patch ID. `notmuch-show-stash-mlarchive-link-alist` now supports
+  functions to better cover such cases. See the help documentation for
+  the variable for details.

+Introduced database version 3 with support for "database features."
+
+  Features are independent aspects of the database schema.
+  Representing these independently of the database version number will
+  let us evolve the database format faster and more incrementally,
+  while maintaining better forwards and backwards compatibility.
+
+Library users are no longer required to call `notmuch_database_upgrade`
+
+  Previously, library users were required to call
+  `notmuch_database_needs_upgrade` and `notmuch_database_upgrade`
+  before using a writable database.  Even the CLI didn't get this
+  right, and it is no longer required.  Now, individual APIs may
+  return `NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED` if the database format is
+  too out of date for that API.
+
+Library users can now abort an atomic section by closing the database
+
+  Previously there was no supported way to abort an atomic section.
+  Callers can now simply close the database, and any outstanding
+  atomic section will be aborted.

+Bug fixes and performance improvements for thread linking
+
+  The database now represents missing-but-referenced messages ("ghost
+  messages") similarly to how it represents regular messages.  This
+  enables an improved thread linking algorithm that performs better
+  and fixes a bug that sometimes prevented notmuch from linking
+  messages into the same thread.
