-* TBD.
+* Performance, footprint, and portability improvements.
+
+* API additions for more convenient handling of optional arguments:
+  duk_opt_xxx() and duk_get_xxx_default().
+
+* Allow duk_push_heapptr() for objects which have become unreachable and
+  are pending finalization.  In such a case a duk_push_heapptr() cancels
+  the pending finalizer call and automatically rescues the object.
+
+* ES2015 additions like String.prototype.{startsWith,endsWith,includes}()
+  and HTML comment syntax.  Non-standard shebang ("#!...") comment support.
+
+* Finalizer handling rework for reference counting and mark-and-sweep to fix
+  a few "side effect" bugs.  Also improved torture test coverage for ensuring
+  side effects are handled correctly in Duktape internals.

   to support multiple Duktape versions.  For example, some config options may be
