+
+  New features
+    - Full support of Python buffer protocol, along with Java ByteBuffer support
+    - Add index to PyUnicode facilitating O(1) access to strings beyond the BMP.
+    - java.util.{Map, List, Set} are now treated as subclasses of the
+      corresponding Python abstract base classes
+    - jythonlib module to simplify usage of Java internals from Python;
+      weakref collections now directly use corresponding collections from
+      Google Guava and java.util
+    - CPython's _json.c was ported to Java to speed up JSON encoding/decoding
+    - Upgraded third party libraries
+    - Initial support for ensurepip module
+
+  Potentially backwards breaking changes, removing silent errors:
+
+    - remove method on proxied List objects now follows Python
+      sematics: a ValueError is raised if the item is not found in the
+      java.util.List. In the past, Java semantics were used, with a
+      boolean returned indicating if the item was removed or
+      not. Given how this interacted with Jython, such remove
+      invocations were in the past silent, and perhaps were actually a
+      bug.
+
+    - d[key_not_present], if d implement java.util.Map, no longer
+      returns None, but raises KeyError, which means this behavior now
+      matches standard dict semantics.
+
+    - Abstract methods of an inherited class or interface from Java now raise
+      NotImplementedError, instead of returning None (in Java, null) or some
+      "zero", if they are not implemented in the extending Python class.
