+Notmuch 0.10 (2011-xx-xx)
+=========================
+
+New build and testing features
+------------------------------
+
+Emacs tests are now done in dtach. This means that dtach  is now
+needed to run the notmuch test suite, at least until the checking for
+prerequisites is improved.
+
+New command-line features
+-------------------------
+
+Add "notmuch restore --accumulate" option
+
+  The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
+  applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from
+  the dump file.
+
+Add search terms to  "notmuch dump"
+
+  The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch
+  search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in
+  favour of using stdout.
+
+Optimizations
+-------------
+
+Search avoids opening and parsing message files
+
+  We now store more information in the database so search no longer
+  has to open every message file to get basic headers.  This can
+  improve search speed by as much as 10X, but taking advantage of this
+  requires a database rebuild:
+
+	notmuch dump > notmuch.dump
+	# Backup, then remove notmuch database ($MAIL/.notmuch)
+	notmuch new
+	notmuch restore notmuch.dump

   notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename does exactly what it says.
 
+API changes
+
+  notmuch_database_find_message (and n_d_f_m_by_filename) now return
+  a status indicator and uses an output parameter for the
+  message. This change required changing the SONAME of libnotmuch to
+  libnotmuch.so.2
+
+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)
+  - Update for n_d_find_message* API changes (see above).
+
 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.

+
+Reply formatting cleanup
+------------------------
+
+  "notmuch reply" no longer includes notification that non-leafnode
+  MIME parts are being suppressed.
