 thank every contributor who has helped make this release possible.
 
+This major release includes breaking changes that could not happen in a regular
+minor release. This includes the removal of the old forecasting wrapper based code,
+the datatypes module and the previous transformer module. Our focus now is on
+writing more efficient code that is based on efficient array based bespoke
+implementations.
+
+Highlights:
+
+- Introduction of a new experimental forecasting module.
+- Restructuring and expansion of the clustering module, including deep learning
+  clustering.
+- Explicit split of the transformation module into series transformers and collection
+  transformers.
+- Extended anomaly detection module.
+- Completely new testing suite.
+- Enhanced visualisation tools.
+- Improved documentation and examples.
+- Introduction of more multivariate capable deep learning estimators.
