 Noteworthy changes in this release
 ==================================
 
-This release contains support for two more languages, namely Thai and
-Romanian uncontracted braille. There is also the usual assortment of
-incremental improvements to Bengali, Danish, Hungarian, Swedish, Urdu
-and US English. To top it off, some great new contributors did some code
-cleanups and bug fixes.
+This release manages to bring as many new features, table improvements
+and bug fixes as we haven't seen in a long time. There are a number of
+major bug fixes that Bert worked on that fix bugs and inconsistencies.
+On the table side there is a new table for Filipino contracted braille,
+James has tirelessly been working on UEB improvements and (as usual)
+Attila worked on the Hungarian tables.
 
 I'd like to thank everybody for helping to bring liblouis forward.

 New features
 ------------

-   Wiraman Niyomphol and Itsawat Banlawanich from Thai braille fund and
-   Foundation for the Blind in Thailand.
--  Added a new Romanian 6 dot table, thanks to BAUM Engineering.

+   query. See the updated documentation on how to make use of this new
+   feature.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+-  Fix a bug when matching context rules that begin with uppercase
+   letters. Thanks to Anthony Tibbs for the very detailed bug

+-  Fix a memory corruption error in the code for the swap opcodes.
+   Thanks to the OSS-fuzz project for reporting and to Christian Egli
+   for fixing it.
+-  Change how emphasis phrases are determined. Also allow non-whole

+   UEB handling. Thanks to Ken Perry from APH for reporting and to Bert
+   Frees for fixing it.
+-  Character definition and base rules are now always considered in the
+   order in which they are defined in the table. In other words the
+   topmost rule always wins. This fixes a number of problems and
+   inconsistencies. Thanks to Bert Frees for the fix.
+
+   -  Fix a problem with ``compbrlAtCursor`` and ``compbrlLeftCursor``
+      that was reported by Daniel Mayr
+
+-  When a table does not define any capital marks, rules are now case
+   sensitive thanks to Bert Frees
 
 Braille table improvements

+-  Improvements to UEB
+
+   -  fixes to many words starting with letters "BE-".
+   -  Fix back translation of dots 26 - when standing alone; should be
+      the word enough.
+   -  Fix assignment for the right double arrow and added left, up, and
+      down double arrows.
+   -  Fix typos in a couple of rules.
+   -  Fix words beginning "CONS-" and "DISHD-" when written uppercase,
+      all above thanks to James Bowden.

--  Improved handling of numbers and fixed a couple of whole-word
-   contraction errors in Swedish braille thanks to Insyn Scandinavia AB.
--  Added the possibility to retain the virtual dots on Dutch braille, so
-   that it should be possible to distinguish between identical dot
-   patterns that originate from different input. Thanks to Bert Frees.
+-  New table for Filipino contracted braille, thanks to Allan Mesoga and
+   Dang Hoai Phúc.
 
 Other changes
 -------------

+   Bert Frees for the patch and to Attila Hammer for the PR.

 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
--  The line continuation feature was removed, as it was no longer needed
-   and caused problems (e.g.issue 239). The tables that depended on it
-   were updated. Thanks to Aaron Cannon.
--  Invalid attribute names now cause a table compilation error instead
-   of just a warning. Thanks to Attila Hammer.
+-  The order of how character definition and base rules are considered
+   has changed. All included tables were adapted, but if you maintain
+   your own tables you might want to look at the change [5]_ to see
