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.

+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.
