+-----------------
+
+Release Date
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- 2016-12-02
+
+
+New Features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Diffs: re-implemented diff engine. Added: Syntax highlighting inside diffs,
+  new side-by-side view with commenting and live chat. Enabled soft-wrapping of
+  long lines and much improved rendering speed for large diffs.
+- File source view: new file display engine. File view now
+  soft wraps long lines. Double click inside file view show occurrences of
+  clicked item. Added pygments-markdown-lexer for highlighting markdown syntax.
+- Files annotation: Added new grouped annotations. Color all related commits
+  by double clicking singe commit in annotation view.
+- Pull request reviewers (EE only): added new default reviewers functionality.
+  Allows picking users or user groups defined as reviewers for new pull request.
+  Picking reviewers can be based on branch name, changed file name patterns or
+  original author of changed source code. eg *.css -> design team.
+  Master branch -> repo owner, fixes #1131.
+- Pull request reviewers: store and show reasons why given person is a reviewer.
+  Manually adding reviewers after creating a PR will now be also indicated
+  together with who added a given person to review.
+- Integrations: Webhooks integration now allows to use variables inside the
+  call URL. Currently supported variables are ${repo_name}, ${repo_type},
+  ${repo_id}, ${repo_url}, ${branch}, ${commit_id}, ${pull_request_id},
+  ${pull_request_url}. Commits are now grouped by branches as well.
+  Allows much easier integration with CI systems.
+- Integrations (EE only): allow wildcard * project key in Jira integration
+  settings to allow referencing multiple projects per commit, fixes #4267.
+- Live notifications: RhodeCode sends live notification to online
+  users on certain events and pages. Currently this works on: invite to chat,
+  update pull request, commit/inline comment. Part of live code review system.
+  Allows users to update the reviewed code while doing the review and never
+  miss any updates or comment replies as they happen. Requires channelstream
+  to be enabled.
+- Repository groups: added default personal repository groups. Personal groups
+  are isolated playground for users allowing them to create projects or forks.
+  Adds new setting to automatically create personal repo groups for newly
+  created users. New groups are created from specified pattern, for example
+  /u/{username}. Implements #4003.
+- Security: It's now possible to disable password reset functionality.
+  This is useful for cases when users only use LDAP or similar types of
+  authentication. Implements #3944
+- Pull requests: exposed shadow repositories to end users. Users are now given
+  access to the shadow repository which represents state after merge performed.
+  In this way users or especially CI servers can much easier perform code
+  analysis of the final merged code.
+- Pull requests: My account > pull request page now uses datagrid.
+  It's faster, filterable and sortable. Fixes #4297.
+- Pull requests: delete pull request action was moved from my account
+  into pull request view itself. This is where everyone was looking for it.
+- Pull requests: improve showing failed merges with proper status in pull
+  request page.
+- User groups: overhaul of edit user group page. Added new selector for
+  adding new user group members.
+- Licensing (EE only): exposed unlock link to deactivate users that are over
+  license limit, to unlock full functionality. This might happen when migrating
+  from CE into EE, and your license supports less active users then allowed.
+- Global settings: add a new header/footer template to allow flash filtering.
+  In case a license warning appears and admin wants to hide it for some time.
+  The new template can be used to do this.
+- System info: added create snapshot button to easily generate system state
+  report. Comes in handy for support and reporting. System state holds
+  information such as free disk/memory, CPU load and some of RhodeCode settings.
+- System info: fetch and show vcs settings from vcsserver. Fixes #4276.
+- System info: use real memory usage based on new psutil api available.
+- System info: added info about temporary storage.
+- System info: expose inode limits and usage. Fixes #4282.
+- Ui: added new icon for merge commit.
+
+
+
+General
+^^^^^^^
+
+- Notifications: move all notifications into polymer for consistency.
+  Fixes #4201.
+- Live chat (EE): Improved UI for live-chat. Use Codemirror editor as
+  input for text box.
+- Api: WARNING DEPRECATION, refactor repository group schemas. Fixes #4133.
+  When using create_repo, create_repo_group, update_repo, update_repo_group
+  the *_name parameter now takes full path including sub repository groups.
+  This is the only way to add resource under another repository group.
+  Furthermore giving non-existing path will no longer create the missing
+  structure. This change makes the api more consistent, it better validates
+  the errors in the data sent to given api call.
+- Pull requests: disable subrepo handling on pull requests. It means users can
+  now use more types of repositories with subrepos to create pull requests.
+  Since handling is disabled, repositories behind authentication, or outside
+  of network can be used.
+- VCSServer: fetch backend info from vcsserver including git/hg/svn versions
+  and connection information.
+- Svn support: it's no longer required to put in repo root path to
+  generate mod-dav-svn config. Fixes #4203.
+- Svn support: Add reload command option (svn.proxy.reload_cmd) to ini files.
+  Apache can now be automatically reloaded when the mod_dav_svn config changes.
+- Svn support: Add a view to trigger the (re)generation of Apache mod_dav_svn
+  configuration file. Users are able to generate such file manually by clicking
+  that button.
+- Dependency: updated subversion library to 1.9.
+- Dependency: updated ipython to 5.1.0.
+- Dependency: updated psutil to 4.3.1.
+
+
+Security
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- Hipchat: escape user entered data to avoid xss/formatting problems.
+- VCSServer: obfuscate credentials added into remote url during remote
+  repository creation. Prevents leaking of those credentials inside
+  RhodeCode logs.
+
+
+Performance
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Diffs: new diff engine is much smarter when it comes to showing huge diffs.
+  The rendering speed should be much improved in such cases, however showing
+  full diff is still supported.
+- VCS backends: when using a repo object from database, re-use this information
+  instead of trying to detect a backend. Reduces the traffic to vcsserver.
+- Pull requests: Add a column to hold the last merge revision. This will skip
+  heavy recalculation of merge state if nothing changed inside a pull request.
+- File source view: don't load the file if it is over the size limit since it
+  won't be displayed anyway. This increases speed of loading the page when a
+  file is above cut-off limit defined.
+
+
+Fixes
+^^^^^
+
+- Users admin: fixed search filter in user admin page.
+- Autocomplete: improve the lookup of users with non-ascii characters. In case
+  of unicode email the previous method could generate wrong data, and
+  make search not show up such users.
+- Svn: added request header downgrade for COPY command to work on
+  https setup. Fixes #4307.
+- Svn: add handling of renamed files inside our generated changes metadata.
+  Fixes #4258.
+- Pull requests: fixed problem with creating pull requests on empty repositories.
+- Events: use branch from previous commit for repo push event commits data so
+  that per-branch grouping works. Fixes #4233.
+- Login: make sure recaptcha data is always validated. Fixes #4279.
+- Vcs: Use commit date as modification time when creating archives.
+  Fixes problem with unstable hashes for archives. Fixes #4247.
+- Issue trackers: fixed bug where saving empty issue tracker via form was
+  causing exception. Fixes #4278.
+- Styling: fixed gravatar size for pull request reviewers.
+- Ldap: fixed email extraction typo. An empty email from LDAP server will now
+  not overwrite the stored one.
+- Integrations: use consistent formatting of users data in Slack integration.
+- Meta-tags: meta tags are not taken into account when truncating descriptions
+  that are too long. Fixes #4305.
