+  * Fix babel format for `Unit`.  (Issue #1085)
+  * Fix handling of positional max/min arguments in clip function.
+    (Issue #1244)
+  * Fix string formatting of numpy array scalars.
+  * Fix default format for Measurement class (Issue #1300)
+  * Fix parsing of pretty units with same exponents but different
+    sign. (Issue #1360)
+  * Convert the application registry to a wrapper object (Issue #1365)
+  * Add documentation for the string format options.  (Issue #1357,
+    #1375, thanks keewis)

+  * Breaking Changes
+    + pint no longer supports Python 3.6
+    + Minimum Numpy version supported is 1.17+
+    + Add supports for type hints for Quantity class. Quantity is now
+      a Generic (PEP560).
+    + Add support for
+      [PEP561](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0561/) (Package
