   - Excessive stack allocation in the autohinter has been fixed.
 
 
-  II. MISCELLANEOUS
+  II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
+
+  - The auto-hinter got new abilities.
+
+    . It can now better separate accents from base characters at small
+      sizes by artificially moving accents up if necessary.
+
+    . Tilde characters get vertically stretched at small sizes so that
+      they don't degenerate to horizontal lines.
+
+    Both  features use  a database,  which currently  has entries  for
+    Unicode characters lower than U+0180.  FreeType needs to access or
+    construct a proper Unicode character map from a given font to make
+    this work.
+
+    This was Craig White's GSoC 2023 project.
+
+
+  III. MISCELLANEOUS
 
   - The B/W rasterizer  has  received a major upkeep  that resulted in
     large performance improvement.  The rendering speed  has increased
