 We've fixed:
 
 * A bug that had the potential to completely halt all syncing activity.
 
-* Inefficient processing of blocks with Eth1 deposits which occassionally led to
-  increased latencies when delivering attestations.

+We've deprecated:
+
+* `make beacon_node` will no longer compile the beacon node.
+  You'll need to run `make nimbus_beacon_node` from now on
 
-* Non-standard encoding of certain data types such as signatures and bit sequences
-  within the results of JSON-RPC requests.
+* On monday we'll phase out the old `master` branch. If you're still building
+  Nimbus from `master`, please switch to `stable`.
