 ## Highlights
 
 Major changes since 6.1.0a3:
 
 * `Products.CMFPlone`:
-  * Made internal 6.1.0a4.dev0 release, only available on [https://dist.plone.org/release/6.1-dev](https://dist.plone.org/release/6.1-dev), so you will need this in your Buildout or pip find-links.  This is needed to unblock test setup in core packages.
-  * Mockup TinyMCE settings: Remove deprecated AtD plugin settings.
   * Use details element for collapsibles in the resource registry.  Makes it possible to toggle elements even with broken or missing javascript.
   * Remove queryCatalog and getFolderContents skins script.
   * Plone upgrade page: show error when upgrade is needed but no upgrades are available.  Especially show a note when the `plone.app.upgrade` package is not available.
- * Plone upgrade page: show list of previously installed packages that are currently missing.  For example: `plone.app.discussion` may be missing in Plone 6.1, unless you explicitly add it, or depend on the `Plone` package.

+  * Remove `PropertiesTool` module and delete the `portal_properties` tool from the site in an upgrade step.
+    This tool was deprecated and scheduled for removal in Plone 6.1.  If you use this tool in an add-on, you should move to storing settings in the `portal_registry` instead.
+  * Remove `propertiestool` import step and usage of `portal_properties` and `site_properties`
+  * Mockup TinyMCE settings: Remove deprecated AtD plugin settings.
 * `plone.app.theming`: When calling the html serializer pass an encoding.  This is needed because we updated from `lxml` 4 to 5.
 * `plone.app.iterate`: Remove old GenericSetup profile with id `plone.app.iterate`.  See [](https://github.com/plone/plone.app.iterate/issues/99#issuecomment-1484686642).
-* Various package: remove `portal_properties` code.  This tool is scheduled for full removal in Plone 6.1.  If you use this tool in an add-on, you should move to storing settings in the `portal_registry` instead.
+* Various packages: remove `portal_properties` code.
 * `plone.base`:
   * Mockup TinyMCE settings: Remove deprecated AtD (After the Deadline spell checker) plugin settings and related views and interfaces.
   * Remove `ISearchSchemas` `types_not_searched` "Discussion Item" value to make `plone.app.discussion` a core addon.

   * Added `TeaserBlockSerializer` which updates the contents of a teaser block from its target if the block has `"overwrite": false`.
+* `plone.app.content`: Speed improvement in `getVocabulary` for large vocabularies.
+* `plonetheme.barceloneta`:
+  * Add styles for details/summary based collapsibles.
