 Notmuch now requires gmime >= 2.6.7. The gmime 2.4 series is no longer
 supported.
 
+Database revision tracking: `lastmod:` queries
+
+  Each message now has a metadata revision number that increases with
+  every tagging operation. See the discussion of `lastmod:` in
+  `notmuch-search-terms(7)` for more information.
+
+Date queries now support `date:<expr>..!` shorthand for
+`date:<expr>..<expr>`
+
+  You can use, for example, `date:yesterday..!` to match from the
+  beginning of yesterday to the end of yesterday. For further details,
+  please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms` manual page.
+
+Notmuch database upgrade to support `lastmod:` queries
+
+  The above mentioned `lastmod:` prefix. This will be done
+  automatically, without prompting on the next time `notmuch new` is
+  run after the upgrade. The upgrade is not reversible, and the
+  upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of
+  Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the
+  `.notmuch` directory before upgrading.
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+The ruby bindings are now built as part of the main notmuch build
+process. This can be disabled with the `--without-ruby` option to
+configure.
+
+Building the documentation can be disabled with the `--without-docs`
+option to configure.
+
+Skipped individual tests are no longer considered as failures.
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+Database revision tracking
+
+  Two new options were added to support revision tracking. A global
+  option "--uuid" (`notmuch(1)`) was added for to detect counter
+  rollover and reinitialization, and `notmuch-count(1)` gained a
+  `--lastmod` option to query database revision tracking data.
+
+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`
+  manual page for further information.

 Library
 -------
 
 The use of absolute paths is now enforced when calling
 `notmuch_database_{open, create}`.
 
+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.
+
+Database revision tracking
+
+  Revision tracking is supported via a new prefix "lastmod:" in the
+  query parser and the new function
+  `notmuch_database_get_revision`. For the latter, see `notmuch(3)`.
+
+New status code returning API for n_query_count_{messages,threads}.

+Deprecated functions
+
+  `notmuch_query_search_threads`, `notmuch_query_search_messages`,
+  `notmuch_query_count_messages`, and `notmuch_query_count_threads`
+  are all deprecated as of this release.  Clients are encouraged to
+  transition to the `_st` variants supporting better error reporting.
