   way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
   file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
 
+* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
+  have seen major improvements.
+
+  The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
+  be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
+  significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
+  files appear.
+
+  The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
+
+  The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
+
+  The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
+
+* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
+  about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
+  Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
+  in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
+  already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
+  you use the --strict option.
+
+* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
+  since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
+  to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
+
+* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
+
+* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
+  has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
+  default handlers for a generic supertype.
