+# General
+* Added a lot more documentation.
+* The `--show-progress` command line option is now supported on Windows.
+
+# Language
+* Introduced module providers.
+* The `Depends` item now falls back to `pkg-config` to locate dependencies whose names do not
+ correspond to a qbs module.
+* Added the concept of job pools for limiting concurrent execution of commands by type.
+* Added support for rules without output artifacts.
+* Added `atEnd` function to the `Process` service.
+* Added `canonicalPath` function to the `FileInfo` service.
+* Removed the need to add "import qbs" at the head of project files.
+* The `Application`, `DynamicLibrary` and `StaticLibrary` items now have properties for more
+ convenient installation of target binaries.
+
+# C/C++ Support
+* Added recursive dependency scanning of GNU ld linkerscripts.
+* Added new `cpp` property `linkerVariant` to force use of `gold`, `bfd` or `lld`.
+
+# Qt Support
+* It is no longer required to call `setup-qt` before building Qt projects.
+* Introduced the property `Qt.core.enableBigResources` for the creation of "big" Qt resources.
+* Static builds now pull in the default set of plugins as specified by Qt, and the user can
+ specify the set of plugins by type.
+* Files can be explicitly tagged as mocable now.
+
+# Other modules
+* Added `protobuf` support for C++ and Objective-C.
+* Introduced the `texttemplate` module, a facility similar to qmake's `SUBSTITUTES` feature.
+
+# Android Support
+* The `AndroidApk` item was deprecated, a normal `Application` item can be used instead.
+* Building Qt apps is properly supported now, by making use of the `androiddeployqt` tool.
+
+# Autotest support
+* Introduced the `autotest` module.
