+Notmuch 0.18.1 (2014-06-25)
+===========================
+
+This is a bug fix and portability release.
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+Add a workaround for systems without zlib.pc
+
+Make emacs install robust against the non-existence of emacs.
+
+Put notmuch lib directory first in RPATH.
+
+Fix handling of html_static_path in sphinx
+
+  Both the python bindings and the main docs had spurious settings of
+  this variable.
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Use --quick when starting emacs.
+
+  This avoids a hang in the T160-json tests.
+
+Allow pending break points in atomicity script.
+
+  This allows the atomicity tests to run on several more architectures/OSes.
+
+Command-Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+To improve portability use fsync instead of fdatasync in
+`notmuch-dump`. There should be no functional difference.
+
+Library changes
+---------------
+
+Resurrect support for single-message mbox files.
+
+  The removal introduced a bug with previously indexed single-message
+  mboxes.  This support remains deprecated.
+
+Fix for phrase indexing
+
+  There were several bugs involving overlapping "phrases" accross
+  header and mime part boundaries.
+
+Emacs Interface
+---------------
+
+Make sure tagging on an empty query is harmless.
+
+  Previously tagging an empty query could lead to tags being
+  unintentionally removed.
+

Perhaps this should be amended with the following excerpt from a
commit message:

"This fix only affects newly indexed messages.  Messages that are
already indexed won't benefit from this fix without re-indexing, but
the fix won't make things any worse for existing messages."


Ciao; Gregor

Good idea; I put in a slightly more terse version of that, and Tomi's
punctation changes, and pushed.

[PATCH] NEWS: Improve and correct "Fix for phrase indexing" entry

[Austin Clements]

This improves the description of the fix, fixes some typos, and
changes "(re)-indexed" to "indexed" because we have no particular
notion of "re-indexing" a message.
