+# General
+* Added `qbs.targetPlatform` and `qbs.hostPlatform` properties which are scalar versions of
+  `qbs.targetOS` and `qbs.hostOS`. `qbs.targetPlatform` is a "write-only" property that can be used
+  to set the OS/platform that is being targeted, while `qbs.targetOS` and `qbs.hostOS` should
+  continue to be used to *read* the OS/platform that is being targeted.
+  `qbs.targetOS` is also now read-only.
+* The "run" functionality as used by the command-line command of the same name now considers
+  an executable's library dependencies, that is, it adds the paths they are located in to the
+  respective environment variable (e.g. PATH on Windows).
+
+# Language
+* Modules can now declare target artifacts using the new `filesAreTargets` property of the
+  `Group` item.
+* The Module.setupRunEnvironment script now has a new parameter `config`. Users can set it via the
+  `--setup-run-env-config` option of the `run` command. The only value currently supported
+  is `ignore-lib-dependencies`, which turns off the abovementioned injection of library
+  dependencies' paths into the run environment.
+* Added the `BinaryFile` service for reading and writing binary data files.
+* The `SubProject` item now has a condition property.
+
+# C/C++ Support
+* Added property `cpp.rpathOrigin` which evaluates to `@loader_path` on Darwin and `$ORIGIN`
+  on other Unix-like platforms.
+* Added the `qbs.toolchainType` property, which is a scalar version of the `qbs.toolchain`
+  property and is used to set the current toolchain.
+* Added `cpp.driverLinkerFlags` for flags to be passed to the compiler driver only when linking.
+
+# Command-line interface
+* Configuration names are now passed as "config:<name>".
+* Options do not have to precede property assignments anymore.
+
+# Documentation
+* Major overhaul of the module and item reference for improved readability.
+
+# Other
+* The `InnoSetup`, `nsis`, and `wix` modules' rules now have a dependency on installable artifacts
+  of dependencies by default, via the default item templates `InnoSetup`, `NSISSetup`,
+  and `WindowsInstallerPackage`. This can be explicitly controlled via the `dependsOnInstallables`
+  boolean property of those item templates.
+* Introduced the `ico` module for creating .ico and .cur files.
