 - Unix bindists in github releases now include the man pages and info manuals. [#2309]
 
-- hledger-install: if installing third party packages fails, try again with bounds relaxed.
+- Unix bindists in github releases are now normal .tar.gz files, without the extra zip compression. [#2299]

+- Release notes and install instructions in github releases are now collapsed by default again.
+  This makes the sequence of dates and releases clearer.
+  Github automatically expands the assets of the latest release, so those will be visible by default.
+  For a full text search of all release notes, use the https://hledger.org/relnotes.html page.

+- hledger-install: if installing third party packages fails, it now tries again with bounds relaxed.
   This makes hledger-iadd and hledger-interest more likely to install successfully,
   even if their bounds have not yet been updated for a new hledger release.

+- `if` matchers in CSV rules can now be combined on the same line,
   separated by `&&` (AND) or `&& !` (AND NOT).  This makes `if` tables more expressive.

 Improvements
 
-- Two more file extensions are now recognised as possible hledger addon
+- Terminal width is now detected more robustly, using the POSIX API.
-  commands: `.osh` and `.ysh`.
+  This means that register commands will more reliably use the proper terminal width,
+  eg when $TERM or $COLUMNS do not have a correct value, and on Windows.
+  hledger no longer uses $COLUMNS.
+  (gesh, [#2332], [#2340])
 
-- Terminal width is now detected more robustly by using the POSIX API.
+- Error messages (first line) in the terminal are now shown in red (and bold),
-  This means eg that register commands use the proper terminal width in more environments,
+  and warning messages are shown in yellow,
-  eg when $TERM or $COLUMNS do not have a correct/up-to-date value, and on Windows.
+  when ANSI codes are supported and permitted.
-  hledger no longer uses COLUMNS.

-
-- The print command now supports the --invert flag. [#2314]
 
 - --pivot can now also pivot on amount quantity (`amt`),
   amount cost (`cost`), and/or commodity symbol (`comm` or `cur`).
 
-- imp:close: omit file extension from tag value
+- The close command's --migrate flag has been renamed to `--clopen`.
+  The start: tag has been renamed to `clopen:`,
+  and its default value now excludes the new file's extension.
+  And close --assign's tag has been renamed to `assign:`.

 - The roi command is now faster:
