Thank you again for compiling and maintaining the release notes through
another major release cycle, I know it's no small undertaking!

Attached is a proposal for the "major enhancements" section. I borrowed
from the press release[1] but tried to stay true to the release notes
format and listed out the enhancements that way.

Open to suggestion, formatting changes, etc.

Thanks!

Jonathan
