 =========================
 
+Algorithmic changes
+-------------------
+
+* Save big amounts of memory in computation of some constants by:
+    - Avoiding pre-computation of series terms and instead computing them in a
+      streamed way.
+    - Avoiding computation with excess precision in binary splitting algorithm
+      by coercion of intermediate integer values to floating-point as early as
+      possible.
+
 Implementation changes
 ----------------------
 
-* Added support for huge numbers...
+* Added support for huge numbers:
+    - intC used for all counter loops.
+    - intE is now a 64-bit type on all 64-bit platforms and even on selected
+      32-bit platforms.
+
 * CLN now uses C++ exceptions for error handling.
+
+* Fixed a bug on i386 where comparing Z/2Z ring zeros returnd random results.
+
 * Removed cl_boolean. Use built-in C++ bool instead.
+
+Other changes
+-------------
+
 * Dropped the cln-config script. Please use pkg-config instead.
 
-Algorithmic changes
--------------------
+* Updated infrastructure to that of libtool-1.5.24.
 
-* Save a lot of memory during computation of some constants.
+* Changed encoding of all files to UTF-8.
