+### 🚀 New and noteworthy
+
+#### New Git default branch - "main"
+
+We are joining the Git community and updating "master" to "main". Using the term "master" for the main
+development branch can be offensive to some people. Existing versions of Git have been always capable of
+working with any branch name and since 2.28.0 (July 2020) the default initial branch is configurable
+(`init.defaultBranch`). Since October 2020, the default branch for new repositories on GitHub
+is "main". Finally, PMD will also use this new name for the main branch in all our own repositories.
+
+Why "main"? PMD uses a very simple branching model - pull requests with feature branches and one main development
+branch, from which releases are created. That's why "main" is currently the best fitting name.
+
+More information:
+- <https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jun/23/gitbranchname/>
+- <https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-the-default-branch-for-newly-created-repositories-is-now-main/>
+
+What changes?
+- We change the default branch on GitHub, so that pull requests are automatically created against `main` from
+  now on.
+- If you have already a local clone of PMD's repository, you'll need to rename the old master branch locally:
+  ```
+  git branch --move master main
+  git fetch origin
+  git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main
+  git remote set-head origin --auto
+  ```
+  
+  More info:
+  <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branch-Management#_changing_master> and
+  <https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-branches-in-your-repository/renaming-a-branch#updating-a-local-clone-after-a-branch-name-changes>
+- If you created a fork on GitHub, you'll need to change the default branch in your fork to `main` as
+  well (Settings > Default Branch).
+- Some time after this release, we'll delete the old master branch on GitHub. Then only `main` can be used.
+- This change is expanded to the other PMD repositories as well, e.g. pmd-designer and pmd-regression-tester.
