+Notmuch 0.9 (2011-10-01)
+========================
+
+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.
+  
+
+Notmuch 0.8 (2011-09-10)
+========================
+
+Improved handling of message/rfc822 parts
+
+  Both in the CLI and the emacs interface.  Output of rfc822 parts now
+  includes the primary headers, as well as the body and all subparts.
+  Output of the completely raw rfc822-formatted message, including all
+  headers, is unfortunately not yet supported (but hopefully will be
+  soon).
+
+Improved Build system portability 
+
+  Certain parts of the shell script generating notmuch.sym were
+  specific to the GNU versions of sed and nm. The new version should
+  be more portable to e.g. OpenBSD.
+
+Documentation update for Ruby bindings
+
+  Added documentation, typo fixes, and improved support for rdoc.
+
+Unicode, iterator, PEP8 changes for python bindings
+
+  - PEP8 (code formatting) changes for python files.
+  - Remove Tags.__len__ ; see 0.6 release notes for motivation.
+  - Decode headers as UTF8, encode (unicode) database paths as UTF8.
