+The `notmuch address` command supports new deduplication schemes

+  `notmuch address` has gained a new `--deduplicate` option to specify
+  how the results should be deduplicated, if at all. The alternatives
+  are `no` (do not deduplicate, useful for processing the results with
+  external tools), `mailbox` (deduplicate based on the full, case
+  sensitive name and email address), and `address` (deduplicate based
+  on the case insensitive address part). See the `notmuch-address`

+New function `notmuch_directory_delete` to delete directory documents
+
+  Previously there was no way to delete directory documents from the
+  database, leading to confusing results when the "ghost" directory
+  document of a renamed or deleted filesystem directory was
+  encountered every time the parent directory was being scanned by
+  `notmuch new`. The mtime of the old directory document was also used
+  if a directory by the same name was added again in the filesystem,
+  potentially bypassing the scan for the directory. The issues are
+  fixed by providing a library call to delete directory documents, and
+  deleting the old documents in `notmuch new` on filesystem directory
+  removal or rename.
