+A thumbnail generation mechanism is also supported if `-show-icons` is enabled.

 ## Copy to clipboard support
 
 Add support to copy current selected item to clipboard.
 The added `control-c` binding copies the current selection to the clipboard.

 ## Fix calc
 
 There was a non-parsable grammar in the 'calc' part of the language.
 The % operator (modulo) overloaded with percent and could leave to statements
-having multiple valid but contradicting interpretations. To resolve this the modulo
-operator is now `modulo`. Including in this patch several smaller issues with the
-parser where fixed.

+To resolve this the modulo operator is now `modulo`.
+
+Several smaller issues with the parser were also fixed in this patch.
+
+## Text and cursor outline
+
+Three new properties were added to textbox widgets to control text outline:
+
+* `text-outline` boolean to enable outlines
+* `text-outline-width` to control size
+* `text-outline-color` to control color
+
+![Outlines](./text-outline.png)
+
+Outlines can also be added to cursors, via similarly named
+properties (`cursor-outline-*`).
+
+## Dependencies and packaging
+
+In this version, we have bumped the minimal required versions of some
+dependencies to keep up with bugs and deprecations while staying compatible
+with long-term supported distributions.
+
+* glib: 2.72 or newer
+* meson: 0.59.0 or newer
+
+This roughly corresponds to Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy and Debian Bookworm.
+
+Generated man pages were removed from the git repository and now require
+`pandoc` to build instead of `go-md2man`. If you compile from git, you
+will now need to install `pandoc` to get the man pages.
+
+Release tarballs still contain the files and can be installed without
+additional tool.
+
+## Known issues
+
+* `new-selection` is not working for values exceeding the number of rows in previous run. (#2037)
+
+## Other smaller changes
 
-## Text outline
+* new `.rasinc` extension for theme fragments included from other theme files
+* `-ellipsize-mode` mode option in dmenu mode can be set to `start`, `middle` or `end`
+  to control how long entries are ellipsized
+* `-list-keybindings` to print a summary of configured bindings
+* `-window-prefer-icon-theme` to force precedence of theme icons over applications'
+  custom ones (#1702)
+* `-placeholder-markup` to enable pango markup when rendering placeholder text (#1690)
+* `urgent` and `active` flags can be controlled for each row in dmenu and script
+  modes
+* `-transient-window-mode` to make rofi react like a modal dialog that is transient to
+  the currently focused window.
+* Fixing window coordinates for non-reparting window manager. (Thanks to Ortango #1969)
+* Fix failing decode of animated gif files. (Thanks to martinsifrar #1975)
