+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Support for re-indexing existing messages
+
+  There is a new subcommand, `notmuch reindex`, which re-indexes all
+  messages matching supplied search terms.  This permits users to
+  change the way specific messages are indexed.
+
+  Note that for messages with multiple variants in the message
+  archive, the recorded Subject: of may change upon reindexing,
+  depending on the order in which the variants are indexed.

+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`.
+
+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  This has been replaced by an empty string, since the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.
+
+nmbug
+-----
+
+nmbug's internal version increases to 0.3 in this notmuch release.
+User-facing changes with this notmuch release:
+
+* Accept failures to unset `core.worktree` in `clone`, which allows
+  nmbug to be used with Git 2.11.0 and later.
+* Auto-checkout in `clone` if it wouldn't clobber existing content,
+  which makes the initial clone more convenient.
+* Only error for invalid diff lines in `tags/`, which allows for
+  `README`s and similar in nmbug repositories.

+Emacs
+-----
+
+Extend mitigation (disabling handling x-display in text/enriched) for
+Emacs bug #28350 to Emacs versions before 24.4 (i.e. without
+`advice-add`).
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Correctly report userid validity. Fix test suite failure for GMime >=
