+Notmuch 0.23.1 (2016-10-23)
+===========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+### Require Xapian >= 1.2.6
+
+The ifdef branch for older Xapian (pre-compact API) had bit-rotted.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+### Fix default colours for unread and flagged messages
+
+In 0.23 the default colours for unread and flagged messages in
+search view were accidentally swapped. This release returns them to
+the original colours.
+
+A related change in 0.23 broke the customize widget for
+notmuch-search-line-faces. This is now fixed.
+
+### Fix test failure with Emacs 25.1
+
+A previously undiscovered jit-lock related bug was exposed by Emacs
+25, causing a notmuch-show mode test to fail. This release fixes the
+bug, and hence the test.
