+# General
+* Added new module `Exporter.qbs` for creating qbs modules from products.
+* Added a Makefile generator.
+* All command descriptions now contain the product name.
+
+# Language
+* The `explicitlyDependsOn` property of the `Rule` item no longer considers
+  target artifacts of product dependencies. The new property `explicitlyDependsOnFromDependencies`
+  can be used for that purpose.
+* The `excludedAuxiliaryInputs` property of the `Rule` item has
+  been renamed to `excludedInputs`. The old name is now deprecated.
+* Added a new property type `varList`.
+* Added `FileInfo.suffix` and `FileInfo.completeSuffix`.
+* The deprecated JS extensions `XmlDomDocument` and `XmlDomElement`
+  have been removed. Use `Xml.DomDocument` and `Xml.DomDocument` instead.
+
+# C/C++ Support
+* For MSVC static libraries, compiler-generated PDB files are
+  now tagged as `debuginfo_cl` to make them installable.
+* The `cxxLanguageVersion` property can now be set to different values in different modules,
+  and the highest value will be chosen.
+
+# Qt Support
+* Amalgamation builds work properly now in the presence of "mocable" files.
+* Fixed some redundancy on the linker command line.
+
+# Other modules
+* Added support for `%option outfile` and `%output` to the `lex_yacc` module.
+* The `vcs` module now creates the header file even if no repository is present.
+
+# Autotest support
+* Added an `auxiliaryInputs` property to the `AutotestRunner` item for specifying run-time
+  dependencies of test executables.
+* The `AutotestRunner` item now has a `workingDirectory` property.
+  By default, the respective test executable's location is used.
+
+# Important bug fixes
+* Disabled products no longer cause their exported dependencies to get pulled into
+  the importing product (QBS-1250).
