+Notmuch 0.5 (2010-11-11)
+========================
+New, general features
+---------------------
+Maildir-flag synchronization
+
+  Notmuch now knows how to synchronize flags in maildir filenames with
+  tags in the notmuch database. The following flag/tag mappings are
+  supported:
+
+       Flag <-> Tag
+       ----     -----
+       'D'      draft
+       'F'      flagged
+        'P'      passed
+        'R'      replied
+        'S'      unread (added when 'S' flag is not present)
+
+  The synchronization occurs in both directions, (for example, adding
+  the 'S' flag to a file will cause the "unread" tag to be added, and
+  adding the "replied" tag to a message will cause the file to be
+  renamed with an 'R' flag).
+
+  This synchronization is enabled by default for users of the
+  command-line interface, (though only files in directories named
+  "cur" or "new" will be renamed). It can be disabled by setting the
+  new maildir.synchronize_flags option in the configuration file. For
+  example:
+
+       notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false
+
+  Users upgrading may also want to run "notmuch setup" once (just
+  accept the existing configuration) to get a new, nicely-commented
+  [maildir] section added to the configuration file.
+
+  For users of the notmuch library, the new synchronization
+  functionality is available with the following two new functions:
+
+       notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
+       notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
+
+  It is anticipated that future improvements to this support will
+  allow for safe synchronization of the 'T' flag with the "deleted"
+  tag, as well as support for custom flag/tag mappings.
+
+New library features
+--------------------
+Support for querying multiple filenames for a single message
+
+  It is common for the mailstore to contain multiple files with the
+  same message ID. Previously, notmuch would always hide these
+  duplicate files, (returning a single, arbitrary filename with
+  notmuch_message_get_filename).
+
+  With this release, library users can access all filenames for a
+  message with the new function:
+
+       notmuch_message_get_filenames
+
+  Together with notmuch_filenames_valid, notmuch_filenames_get, and
+  notmuch_filenames_move_to_next it is now possible to iterate over
+  all available filenames for a given message.
+
 New command-line features
 -------------------------
 New "notmuch show --format=raw" for getting at original email contents
@@ -30,6 +93,40 @@ Fix "notmuch search" to print nothing when nothing matches
   the --format=json output, (which would previously produce "[]" and
   now produces nothing).
 
+Emacs interface improvements
+----------------------------
+Fix to allow pipe ('|') command to work when using notmuch over ssh
+
+Fix count of lines in hidden signatures.
+
+Omit repeated subject lines in (collapsed) thread display.
+
+Display current thread subject in a header line.
+
+Provide a "c i" binding to copy a thread ID from the search view.
+
+Allow for notmuch-fcc-dirs to have a value of nil.
+
+  Also, the more complex form of notmuch-fcc-dirs now has a slightly
+  different format. It no longer has a special first-element, fallback
+  string. Instead it's now a list of cons cells where the car of each
+  cell is a regular expression to be matched against the sender
+  address, and the cdr is the name of a folder to use for an FCC. So
+  the old fallback behavior can be achieved by including a fineal cell
+  of (".*" . "default-fcc-folder").
+
+Vim interface improvements
+--------------------------
+Felipe Contreras provided a number of updates for the vim interface.
+
+  These include optimiations, support for newer versions of vim, fixed
+  support for sending mail on modern systmms, new commands, and
+  various cleanups.
+
+New bindings
+------------
+Added initial ruby bindings in bindings/ruby
