+Release Notes For v1.11.0
+===================================================================================
+
+This release hopefully marks the start of a new period of active development and
+contributions and a shift away from the previous lower maintenance mode.
+
+For users:
+
+This is the perfect time to engage with the project and other dunst users.
+Some of the features and changes to include in the v2 release are starting to
+be proposed or implemented. Everyone's opinion is important, so feel free
+to participate in the issues proposing new features (or redesigns of the old ones).
+
+This version mainly contains bug fixes and QoL improvements, and can be considered
+a preparatory release for the various things that will come in the future
+(overhaul of the rule syntax, multiple windows support, aesthetic and customization
+options, refactor of the drawing system, etc).
+
+For maintainers:
+
+X11 support is now optional and can be disabled in build by setting the `X11` make
+flag to 0. This means that you can offer Wayland-only builds.
+
+Shell completions are now considered official and can be installed/uninstalled from
+the Makefile. By default they are installed and can be disabled by setting the
+`COMPLETIONS` flag to 0.
+
+Take a look at the changelog for all the bug fixes and improvements.
