-### Channel Thresholds 
-To setup the autolooper to dispatch swaps on your behalf, you need to tell it 
-which channels you would like it to perform swaps on, and the liquidity balance 
-you would like on each channel. Desired liqudity balance is expressed using 
-threshold incoming and outgoing percentages of channel capacity. The incoming 
-threshold you specify indicates the minimum percentage of your channel capacity
-that you would like in incoming capacity. The outgoing thresold allows you to 
-reserve a percentage of your balance for outgoing capacity, but may be set to 
-zero if you are only concerned with incoming capcity.

-The autolooper will perform swaps that push your incoming channel capacity to 
-at least the incoming threshold you specify, while reserving at least the

+### Liquidity Targets
+Autoloop can be configured to manage liquidity for individual channels, or for
+a peer as a whole. Peer-level liquidity management will examine the liquidity 
+balance of all the channels you have with a peer. This differs from channel-level
+liquidity, where each channel's individual balance is checked. Note that if you
+set a liquidity rule for a peer, you cannot also set a specific rule for one of
+its channels.

 ## Next release
 
 #### New Features
+* Autoloop can now be configured on a per-peer basis, rather than only on an
+  individual channel level. This change allows desired liquidity thresholds 
+  to be set for an individual peer, rather than a specific channel, and 
+  leverages multi-loop-out to more efficiently manage liquidity. To configure
+  peer-level rules, provide the 'setrule' command with the peer's pubkey.
