 * In this release Botan has switched VCS from ``monotone`` to ``git``,
   and is now hosted on github at https://github.com/randombit/botan
 
+* Remove code constructs which triggered errors under MSVC and GCC
+  debug iterators. The primary of these was an idiom of ``&vec[x]`` to
+  create a pointer offset of a ``std::vector``. This failed when x was
+  set equal to ``vec.size()`` to create the one-past-the-end address.
+  The pointer in question was never dereferenced, but it triggered
+  the iterator debugging checks which prevented using these valuble
+  analysis tools. From Simon Warta and Daniel Seither. GH #125
+
+* Several incorrect or missing module dependencies have been fixed. These
+  often prevented a succesful build of a minimized amalgamation when
+  only a small set of algorithms were specified. GH #71
+  From Simon Warta.
+
+* Add an initial binding to OCaml. Currently only hashes, RNGs, and
+  bcrypt are supported.
+
+* The default key size generated by the ``keygen`` tool has increased
+  to 2048 bits. From Rene Korthaus.
+
+* The ``Botan_types`` namespace, which contained ``using`` declarations
+  for (just) ``Botan::byte`` and ``Botan::u32bit``, has been removed.
+  Any use should be replaced by ``using`` declarations for those types
+  directly.
