+Indexing files with duplicate message-id
+
+  Files with message-id's are now indexed, and searchable via terms
+  and phrases. There are known issues related to presentation of
+  results and regular-expression search, but in principle no mail file

+New functions to count files

+  Two new functions in the libnotmuch API:
+  `notmuch_message_count_files`, and `notmuch_thread_get_total_files`.
+
+Change of return value of `notmuch_thread_get_authors`
+
+  In certain corner cases, `notmuch_thread_get_authors` previously
+  returned NULL.  This has been replaced by an empty string, since the
+  possibility of NULL was not documented.

[PATCH] NEWS: Python bindings changes for 0.26

[David Bremner]

These are my own changes, plus those of Florian Klink and Lucas
Hoffmann. Gaute's change fixed a bug that was never in a released
version, so I left it out.

Pushed all three to branch release; this should help people avoid
conflicts in making their own NEWS entries.
