Notmuch now requires gmime >= 2.6.7. The gmime 2.4 series is no longer
supported.
Database revision tracking: `lastmod:` queries
Each message now has a metadata revision number that increases with
every tagging operation. See the discussion of `lastmod:` in
`notmuch-search-terms(7)` for more information.
Notmuch database upgrade to support `lastmod:` queries
The above mentioned `lastmod:` prefix. This will be done
automatically, without prompting on the next time `notmuch new` is
run after the upgrade. The upgrade is not reversible, and the
upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of
Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the
`.notmuch` directory before upgrading.
Command Line Interface
----------------------
Database revision tracking
Two new options were added to support revision tracking. A global
option "--uuid" (`notmuch(1)`) was added for to detect counter
rollover and reinitialization, and `notmuch-count(1)` gained a
`--lastmod` option to query database revision tracking data.

The use of absolute paths is now enforced when calling
`notmuch_database_{open, create}`.
Database revision tracking
Revision tracking is supported via a new prefix "lastmod:" in the
query parser and the new function
`notmuch_database_get_revision`. For the latter, see `notmuch(3)`.
