sometimes. This is now fixed.
Performance
-----------
-Automatic tag query optimization
+* **_Automatic tag query optimization_**
"notmuch tag" now automatically optimizes the user's query to
exclude messages whose tags won't change. In the past, we've
suggested that people do this by hand; this is no longer necessary.
-Don't sort messages when creating a dump file
+* **_Don't sort messages when creating a dump file_**
This speeds up tag dumps considerably, without any loss of
information. To replicate the old behavior of sorted output (for
- example to compare two dump files), one can use e.g. sort(1).

Memory Management
-----------------
-Reduction of memory leaks
+* **_Reduction of memory leaks_**
Two memory leaks when searching and showing messages were identified
and fixed in this release.
Emacs Interface
---------------
-Bug fixes
+* **_Bug fixes_**
notmuch-show-advance (bound to the spacebar in notmuch-show-mode) had
a bug that caused it to always jump to the next message, even if it
should have scrolled down to show more of the current message instead.
This is now fixed.
-Support "notmuch new" as a notmuch-poll-script
+* **_Support `notmuch new` as a notmuch-poll-script_**

-Improvements in saved search management
+* **_Improvements in saved search management_**
New saved searches are now appended to the list of saved searches,
not inserted in front. It's also possible to define a sort function
for displaying saved searches; alphabetical sort is provided.
-Hooks for notmuch-hello
+* **_Hooks for notmuch-hello_**
Two new hooks have been added: "notmuch-hello-mode-hook" (called after
entering notmuch-hello-mode) and "notmuch-hello-refresh-hook" (called
after updating a notmuch-hello buffer).
-New face for crypto parts headers
+* **_New face for crypto parts headers_**
Crypto parts used to be displayed with a hardcoded color. A new face
has been introduced to fix this: notmuch-crypto-part-header. It
defaults to the same value as before, but can be customized to match
other color themes.
-Use space as default thousands separator
+* **_Use space as default thousands separator_**
Large numbers in notmuch-hello are now displayed using a space as
thousands separator (e.g. "123 456" instead of "123,456"). This can be
changed by customizing "notmuch-hello-thousands-separator".
-Call notmuch-show instead of notmuch-search when clicking on

-New function notmuch-show-advance
+* **_New function notmuch-show-advance_**
This new function advances through just the current thread, and is
less invasive than notmuch-show-advance-and-archive. It can easily
be bound to SPC with:
- (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map " " 'notmuch-show-advance)
+ (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map " " 'notmuch-show-advance)
