+This release focuses on reproducibility improvements and
+bugfixes for corner-cases.  Busy instances of PublicInbox::WWW
+may also notice memory usage reductions.
+
+For rare messages lacking Date and/or Received headers, mirrors
+now fall back to using the git author/commit times to reindex
+them.  This ensures search and filtering queries behave
+identically on mirrors as they do on the original machine.
+
+"altid" SQLite dumps are now accessible to all over the WWW
+interface via `POST /$INBOX/$ALTID.sql.gz'.
+
+Busy instances of PublicInbox::WWW (whether via
+public-inbox-httpd or another PSGI server) may notice
+significant memory usage reductions from the single message
+"permalink" lifetime optimization.  There also ongoing work to
+improve memory lifetime management to reduce the potential for
+memory fragmentation in daemons.
+
+* general changes:
+
+  - `include.*' directives in the public-inbox-config(5) file
+    are now honored as documented in git-config(1),
+    thanks to Andreas Rottmann.
+
+  - `+0000' is assumed for dates missing TZ offsets;
+    thanks to Leah Neukirchen for spotting this regression from
+    v1.2.0.
+
+  - `<' and `>' characters are dropped to avoid errors in git
+    in addresses for git, thanks again to Leah for noticing
+    this long-standing bug.
+
 * PublicInbox::WWW:
-  - reduced memory use for single message "permalink" view
+
+  - memory reductions for message display and rendering
+  - code preload improved to reduce memory fragmentation
   - remove redundant "a=" parameter in links to solver
   - escape '&' in hrefs properly
   - fix optional address obfuscation in search results
+  - `POST /$INBOX/$ALTID.sql.gz' endpoint to retrieve SQLite dumps
+
+* public-inbox-httpd + public-inbox-nntpd:
+
+  - fix SIGUSR2 upgrade in worker-less instances (-W0)
+
+* public-inbox-httpd:
+
+  - fix RFC 7230 conformance when Content-Length and "chunked"
+    are both specified
+
+* public-inbox-index:
+
+  - reproduce original date and time stamps in mirrors for messages
+    lacking Date: and/or Received: headers
+
+  - new `--compact' (or `-c') switch to perform the equivalent of
+    public-inbox-compact(1) after indexing each inbox
+
+* documentation:
+
+  - add Documentation/technical/data_structures.txt for new hackers
+
+* scripts/import_vger_from_mbox: (not really a production-level script)
+
+  - fix ">From" unescaping thanks to a bug report from Kyle Meyer
+
+Thanks to Andreas Rottmann, Leah Neukirchen and Kyle Meyer
+for their contributions to this release.
