Now that the config changes have landed, it is time to consider a release. I have the following schedule in mind: April 24: Feature Freeze. May 1: Release. In a perfect world, the notmuch2 python bindings would be updated before the release, but since the new API is upward compatible (and old API is still there), I don't think this a blocker. Typically we have a push for NEWS items after the feature freeze, but nothing prevents getting started with some of the larger changes. I think Jonas and I are responsible for the most of the churn in the source. Jonas, I know a lot of what you contributed is not user visible, but a patch for NEWS listing some of the user visible changes (particularly things like dropped variables and functions) would be appreciated.
