 =============================
 
+Overview
+--------
+
+This new release includes some enhancements to searching for messages
+by filesystem location (`folder:` and `path:` prefixes under *General*
+below).  Saved searches in *Emacs* have also been enhanced to allow
+distinct search orders for each one.  Another enhancement to the
+*Emacs* interface is that replies to encrypted messages are now
+encrypted, reducing the risk of unintentional information disclosure.
+The default dump output format has changed to the more robust
+`batch-tag` format. The previously deprecated parsing of single
+message mboxes has been removed. For detailed release notes, see
+below.

 General
 -------
 
 The `folder:` search prefix now requires an exact match
 
   The `folder:` prefix has been changed to search for email messages
-  by the exact, case sensitive maildir or MH folder name. The new
-  behaviour allows for more accurate mail folder based searches, and
-  should lead to less surprising results than the old behaviour. Users
-  are advised to see the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page for
-  details, and review how the change affects their existing `folder:`
-  searches.

 There is a new `path:` search prefix.

+Message header parsing changes
+
+  Notmuch previously had an internal parser for message headers. The
+  parser has now been dropped in favour of letting GMime parse both
+  the headers and the message MIME structure at the same pass. This is
+  mostly an internal change, but the GMime parser is stricter in its
+  interpretation of the headers. This may result in messages with
+  slightly malformed message headers being now rejected.
