+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.
