+========================
+
+New, general features
+---------------------
+
+Correct handling of interruptions during "notmuch new"
+
+  "notmuch new" now operates as a series of small, self-consistent
+  transactions, so it can correctly resume after an interruption or
+  crash.  Previously, interruption could lose existing tags, fail to
+  detect messages on resume, or leave the database in a state
+  temporarily or permanently inconsistent with the mail store.
+
+Library changes
+---------------
+
+New functions
+
+  notmuch_database_begin_atomic and notmuch_database_end_atomic allow
+  multiple database operations to be performed atomically.
+
+  notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename does exactly what it says.
+
+Python bindings changes
+-----------------------
+
+  - Re-encode python unicode objects to utf-8 before passing back to
+    libnotmuch.
+  - Support Database().begin_atomic()/end_atomic()
+  - Support Database().find_message_by_filename()
+    NB! This needs a db opened in READ-WRITE mode currently, or it will crash
+    the python process. The is a limitation (=bug) of the underlying libnotmuch.
+  - Fixes where we would not throw NotmuchErrors when we should (Justus Winter)
+
+Ruby bindings changes
+---------------------
+
+  Wrap new library functions notmuch_database_{begin,end}_atomic, 
+  and add new exception Notmuch::UnbalancedAtomicError. Rename destroy 
+  to destroy! according to Ruby naming conventions.
