General features
----------------
-* **_Better guessing of From: header_**
+### Better guessing of From: header
- Notmuch now tries harder to guess which configured address should be
- used as the From: line in a "notmuch reply". It will examine the
- Received: headers if it fails to find any configured address in To:
- or Cc:. This allows it to often choose the correct address even when
- replying to a message sent to a mailing list, and not directly to a
- configured address.

+### Make "notmuch count" with no arguments count all messages
- Previously, it was hard to construct a search term that was
- guaranteed to match all messages.

-* **_Provide a new special-case search term of "*" to match all messages_**
+### Provide a new special-case search term of "`*`" to match all messages
- This can be used in any command accepting a search term, such as
- "notmuch search '*'". Note that you'll want to take care that the
- shell doesn't expand * against the current files. And note that the
- support for "*" is a special case. It's only meaningful as a single
- search term and loses its special meaning when combined with any
- other search terms.

-* **_Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message
- is missing_**
+### Automatically detect thread connections even when a parent message is missing
- Previously, if two or more message were received with a common
- parent, but that parent was not received, then these messages would
- not be recognized as belonging to the same thread. This is now fixed
- so that such messages are properly connected in a thread.

General bug fixes
-----------------
-* **_Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT_**
+### Fix potential data loss in "notmuch new" with SIGINT
- One code path in "notmuch new" was not properly handling
- SIGINT. Previously, this could lead to messages being removed from
- the database (and their tags being lost) if the user pressed
- Control-C while "notmuch new" was working.

-* **_Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json_**
+### Fix handling of non-ASCII characters with --format=json
- Previously, characters outside the range of 7-bit ASCII were
- silently dropped from the JSON output. This led to corrupted display
- of utf-8 content in the upcoming notmuch web-based frontends.

Emacs client features
---------------------
-* **_Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines_**
+### Show the last few lines of citations as well as the first few lines
- It's often the case that the last sentence of a citation is what is
- being replied to directly, so the last few lines are often much more
- important. The number of lines shown at the beginning and end of any
- citation can be configured, (notmuch-show-citation-lines-prefix and
- notmuch-show-citation-lines-suffix).

+### The '+' and '-' commands in the search view can now add and remove tags by region
- Selective bulk tagging is now possible by selecting a region of

- Notmuch now uses the Subject of the thread as the buffer
- name. Previously it was using the thread ID, which is a meaningless
- number to the user.
