NEWS: News for big endian sha1 bug fix.

Browse source 
We could give more details about how to migrate tags, but I'm not sure
that it's a practical problem, or just a theoretical one.

============================= =============================
Incompatible change in SHA1 computation
---------------------------------------
Previously on big endian architectures like sparc and powerpc the
computation of SHA1 hashes was incorrect. This meant that messages
with overlong or missing message-ids were given different computed
message-ids than on more common little endian architectures like i386
and amd64. If you use notmuch on a big endian architecture, you are
strongly advised to make a backup of your tags using `notmuch dump`
before this upgrade. You can locate the affected files using something
like:
notmuch dump | \
awk '/^notmuch-sha1-[0-9a-f]{40} / \
{system("notmuch search --exclude=false --output=files id:" $1)}'
