 Noteworthy changes in this release
 ==================================
 
-This release contains updates to the Afrikaans, Malayalam, Malay,
-Israeli, classical English and Portuguese tables. It also contains a new
-table for Coptic thanks to first-time contributor Ibraam Nasif. Behind
-the scenes there have been major changes to the cross-compilation
-tool-chain that will finally allow us to ship pre-built windows binaries
-that contain ``lou_checkyaml.exe``.
+This release is mostly the work of Bert Frees. He has put in a lot of
+work and pushed some major improvements with regards to how emphasis is
+handled (and how this is documented). He fixed a crash when reading URLs
+using computer braille. He also worked with many contributors to get
+their improvements in. So we have better support for UEB, Dutch, Urdu,
+Malayalam, Arabic, Bashkir, Uzbek, Russian computer braille and for
+EBAE. I'd like to thank everybody for helping to bring liblouis forward.
 
 For a detailed list of all the changes refer to the list of closed
 issues [3]_.
