 [id="foreman-headline-features"]
 == Headline Features
 
-There are no highlights with Foreman {ProjectVersion}.
+=== New All Hosts page features
+
+
+This release introduces an experimental new page that will eventually replace the All Hosts page.
+In its first iteration, it includes Host Create and Register buttons, bulk multi-page selection, host deletion, and faster links to each host.
+You can try out the new page via 'Show new host overview page' in Settings.
+After changing the setting, a full browser page reload is required.
+In future releases, more features will be added to the new page, and the old page will eventually be retired.
+
+=== Redis is the default cache type
+
+Default installations will now use Redis configured as the default cache type. Using Redis as the cache has proven to be better performant and does not result in file locking or cache misses.
