I know there are several things "in progress", but we've also
accumulated a fair amount of change since 0.28. I am planning a feature
freeze for 0.29 on May 31 and (hopefully) a release on June 7.

It's that time again, time to add NEWS items for user facing changes.
Here's a lightly edited git shortlog to jog your memories. We do want to

I realized this example is problematic, since the maildir standard
includes the naming of files (and this also affects maildir flag syncing
in notmuch). Perhaps we should write something like "gzip -9
$MAIL/archive/big-file && notmuch new".

I just learned that dovecot supports a "Z" flag for compressed files
[1], so perhaps in future we could be compatible with that.

I guess whether this is worthwhile will depend on the user. The 481 files in
my mailstore with size at least 5M collectively occupy 3.9G and gzip
down to 2.7G. Of course deleting those files would be an even bigger
savings ;).

I'd add here:

The minimum supported version of GMime is now 3.0.3.  GMime also needs
to have been compiled with cryptographic support.
