 - The Welcome page has been redesigned. This is a preview of the design style
   that is likely to be used in other parts of the WUI in future Tahoe-LAFS
   versions. (`#1713`_, `#1457`_, `#1735`_)
-- A new, more extensible Introducer protocol has been added, to act as the
-  basis for future improvements such as accounting. Compatibility with older
-  nodes is not affected. When server, introducer, and client are all
-  upgraded, the welcome page will show node IDs that start with "v0-" instead

 Notable Bugfixes
 ----------------
 
-- If an immutable file failed to download, e.g. due to a connection problem,
-  subsequent attempts to download the same file could also fail. (`#1679`_)
-- The SFTP frontend now works with recent versions of Twisted, rather than
-  giving errors or warnings about use of ``IFinishableConsumer``. (`#1926`_,
-  `#1564`_, `#1525`_)
-- Failure handling in the SFTP frontend has been improved. (`#1525`_)
-- Checking a LIT file using ``tahoe check`` no longer results in an
-  exception. (`#1758`_)
+- In earlier versions, if a connection problem caused a download failure for
+  an immutable file, subsequent attempts to download the same file could also
+  fail. This is now fixed. (`#1679`_)
 - Filenames in WUI directory pages are now displayed correctly when they
   contain characters that require HTML escaping. (`#1143`_)
 - Non-ASCII node nicknames no longer cause WUI errors. (`#1298`_)
-- Error messages containing tracebacks may be slightly more readable.
-  (`#1484`_)
-- ``tahoe cp --verbose`` counts the files being processed correctly.

-  (`#1693`_)
-- The provisioning/reliability pages were removed from the main client's web
-  interface, and moved into a standalone web-based tool in
