 =================
 
-A release which provides additional protection against accidental slashings and
-further performance improvements across the board.
+A release bringing important JSON-RPC stability improvements and compatibility
+fixes making it possible to use Nimbus as a RockerPool operator.
 
 -----
 
 New additions:
 
-* New slashing protection mechanism (doppelganger detection) prevents your validator
-  from contradicting itself if you have accidentally left it running on another
-  machine(see the `--doppelganger-detection` option).
+* RocketPool integration:
+  https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode/pull/89
 
-* Optimized batching of BLS signature verification leading to faster sync speeds
-  and reduced CPU load.
+* Indications for next attestation time on every "Slot end" log message,
+  helping you to select the best time for restarting the node.
 
-* Further improvements to attestation subnet walking resulting in a reduction in
-  both bandwidth and CPU usage.
+We've fixed:
 
-* A new `--subscribe-all-subnets` option allowing the node to maintain peers from all
-  attestation subnets (most suitable for bootstrap nodes).
+* A rare segmentation fault triggered when connecting to a web3 provider
+  using a secure web socket.
+
+* JSON-RPC spec violations and potential DoS attack vectors.
+
+* 2 stale bootstrap node addressed.

 We've fixed:
 
 * A bug that had the potential to completely halt all syncing activity.
 
-* Inefficient processing of blocks with Eth1 deposits which occassionally led to
-  increased latencies when delivering attestations.

+
+* On monday we'll phase out the old `master` branch. If you're still building
+  Nimbus from `master`, please switch to `stable`.
