-Notmuch 0.31 (UNRELEASED)
+Notmuch 0.32 (UNRELEASED)
+=========================
+
+General
+-------
+
+This release includes a significant overhaul of the configuration
+management facilities for notmuch.  The previous distinction between
+configuration items that can be modified via plain text configuration
+files and those that must be set in the database via the "notmuch
+config" subcommand is gone, and all configuration items can be set in
+both ways.  The external configuration file overrides configuration
+items in the database. The location of database, hooks, and
+configuration files is now more flexible, with several new
+configuration variables. In particular XDG locations are now supported
+as fallbacks for database, configuration and hooks. For more
+information see `notmuch-config(1)`.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+To support the new configuration facilities, several functions and
+constants have been added to the notmuch API. Most notably:
+
+- `notmuch_database_create_with_config`
+- `notmuch_database_open_with_config`
+- `notmuch_database_load_config`
+- `notmuch_config_get`
+
+A previously requested API change is that `notmuch_database_reopen` is
+now exposed (and generalized).
+
+As always, the canonical source of API documentation is
+`lib/notmuch.h`, or the doxygen formated documentation in `notmuch(3)`
+
+CLI
+---
+
+The `notmuch config set` subcommand gained a `--database` argument to
+specify that the database should be updated, rather than a config file.
+

+`mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender` to continue signing messages.

+New `notmuch-unthreaded` mode (added in Notmuch 0.30)
+
+  Unthreaded view is a mode where each matching message is shown on a
+  separate line.
+
+  The main key entries to unthreaded view are
+
+  'u' enter a query to view in unthreaded mode (works in hello,
+      search, show and tree mode)
+
+  'U' view the current query in unthreaded mode (works from search,
+      show and tree)
+
+  Saved searches can also specify that they should open in unthreaded
+  view.
+
+  Currently it is not possible to specify the sort order: it will
+  always be newest first.

+Library
+-------
+
+Improve exception handling in the library. This should
+largely eliminate terminations inside the library due to uncaught
+exceptions or internal errors.  No doubt there are a few uncovered
+code paths still; please report them as bugs.
+
+Add `notmuch_message_get_flag_st` and
+`notmuch_message_has_maildir_flag_st`, and deprecate the existing
+non-status providing versions.
+
+Move memory de-allocation from `notmuch_database_close` to
+`notmuch_database_destroy`.
+
+Handle relative filenames in `notmuch_database_index_file`, as
+promised in the documentation.
+
+Python Bindings
+---------------
+
+Documentation for the python bindings is merged into the main
+sphinx-doc documentation tree. The merged documentation can be built
+with e.g. `make sphinx-html`
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+We now support building notmuch against Xapian 1.5 (the current
+development version).
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Test suite fixes for compatibility with Emacs 27.1.
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+Man pages are now compressed reproducibly.
