+* Magit v4.0.0 Release Notes (unreleased)
+** Breaking changes
+** Changes since v3.3.0
+
+- Added new function ~git-commit-turn-on-orglink~ intended for use in
+  ~git-commit-setup-hook~.  d122f15edd
+
+- ~git-commit.el~ no longer depends on ~dash~.  bb7b7a4020
+
+7a94132384 Rename magit-keep-region-overlay to magit-section-keep-region-overlay
+
+- Some repository and submodule list columns got a bit fancier.
+  3f3980735f 451438dc90
+
+- Refreshing a repository or submodule list buffer now restores the
+  previous position.  1feda0cb1c
+
+ceab3124fb magit-submodule-list-predicate: New variable
+
+- Added new face ~git-rebase-action~ to allow customization of the face
+  used for the action words in git-rebase-todo files.  #4544
+
+6da7771b61 magit-faces: Add diff-refine-{added,removed}
+
+- When invoked with a prefix argument ~magit-fetch-modules~ now acts as a
+  transient prefix command.  fd5b9eadf3
+
+- Added new face ~magit-branch-warning~ and improved related faces.
+  bf3bcbe051 ff
+
+dfe3d03a14 git-commit-save-message: Report whether message was saved
+
+- Added new commands ~git-commit-search-message-backward~ and
+  ~git-commit-search-message-forward~.  #4537
+
+- Make use of ~with-connection-local-variables~, and for older Emacsen
+  use a stripped down implementation. #4568
+
+- Added new functions ~version>~ and ~version=~ using the names
+  ~magit-version>~ and ~magit-version=~.  My brain is too small to always
+  get yoda conditions right, while the Emacs maintainers have huge
+  brains and as a consequence have rejected the addition of these
+  functions on grounds of them being unnecessary.  I don't want to
+  make such mistakes anymore, so I am forced to define these functions
+  myself.  I guess this makes me a Sith.  c8c2efd014
+
+- Added new command ~magit-log-related~.  c33ed664e6
+
+- New transient ~magit-sparse-checkout~ provides an interface to the
+  ~git sparse-checkout~ command, introduced in Git v2.25.  #4102
+
+- New command ~magit-clone-sparse~ makes it possible to clone a
+  repository and then immediately enable a sparse checkout, avoiding a
+  checkout of the full working tree.  #4102
+
+- The ~magit-clone~ transient now includes ~--filter~ (hidden by
+  default) to support partial cloning, a feature that is available as
+  of Git v2.17.  #4102
+
+- ~magit-clone-url-format~ can now be configured to an alist to
+  support servers that employ different URL schemes.  #4738
+
+- Added new command ~magit-stash-push~, which allows specifying a list of
+  files to be stashed.  #4583
+
+- Added some forward compatibility for SHA-256.  #4585
+
+429d5c55e8 magit-tag-release: Use version from HEAD's message if appropriate
+
+- Added new face ~magit-section-child-count~.  #4599
+
+- Improved version display and sorting in repository list buffers.
+  53199f2dd5, 68be0584f4
+
+- Added support for marking repositories in repository list buffers
+  and acting on the marked repositories.  #4453
+
+- Improved internals of the version/feature check caches.  On the user
+  visible side, teach ~magit-zap-caches~ to zap everything, when invoked
+  with a prefix argument.  #4603
+
+- Rewrote Imenu support, which resulted in a few new features and much
+  less code.  4727dcbe22 ff
+
+- For performance reasons the "margin" style sadly had to be removed
+  from ~magit-blame-styles~.  608242086e
+
+- When blaming, neighboring chunks about the same commit are now
+  combined into just one chunk.  #4030
+
+- Added new command ~magit-git-mergetool~.  #4128
+
+- Taught ~magit-diff-dwim~ about commits of submodules shown in the status
+  buffer of the super-repository.  #4151
+
+- A cherry pick or revert can now be continued when there are unstaged
+  changes as long as there are no unresolved conflicts, a behavior
+  that more closely matches the command line behavior.  #4615
+
+- For the longest time (which is why I don't consider this a bug fix)
+  toggling a section caused point to move to the beginning of that
+  section.  Stop doing that unless absolutely necessary.  9d8d5e5603
+
+70b34f08ab Increase use of section type, keymap and binding inheritance
+
+- Sections can now be expanded and collapsed by double-clicking on the
+  section heading or by clicking on the left margin.  949b4a47a4
+
+- The menu-bar menu, which was severely neglected for many years,
+  finally got a makeover.  It no longer offers a completely random
+  subset of Magit's features.  Now it can be used to invoke most of
+  the commands that could also be invoked using ~magit-dispatch~; but
+  by means of a small furry animal.  5641d3749c
+
+- Added many context menus, which can be invoked using the mouse or
+  a key (~menu~ by default) and are a great way to discover context
+  sensitive commands.  Unfortunately this isn't enabled by default.
+  In Emacs 28 and greater, the new global mode ~context-menu-mode~ has
+  to be enabled.  Set ~magit-section-show-context-menu-for-emacs<28~
+  to ~t~ if you are still using an older release.  #4645
+
+0bbf31a2ef magit--git-variable:choices: Support fallback instead of default
+
+- Depend on the Compat package, allowing me to use convenient features
+  that were added to Emacs over the last few years, without having to
+  wait another few years until everybody has updated to a reasonably
+  recent Emacs release.  571b4346c1
+
+- Added new option ~magit-openpgp-default-signing-key~.  4eed9e1a45
+
+- Added new command ~magit-toggle-git-debug~.  2ed5a06d08
+
+- Tag messages and signatures are now turned into sections in commit
+  buffers.  476383fc8f
+
+- Work has began on making internal circular dependencies a thing of
+  the past.
+
+- The help text displayed in ~git-rebase-mode~ buffers got a makeover.
+  670dad14b5 ff
+
+- Added new command ~magit-ediff-resolve-all~, an alternative to
+  ~magit-ediff-resolve-rest~ (formerly known as ~magit-ediff-resolve~).
+  The new option ~magit-ediff-dwim-resolve-function~ controls which
+  is used by ~magit-ediff-dwim~ (the new command ~magit-git-mergetool~
+  is another option).  #4348
+
+- Support ~--update-refs~ option of ~git rebase~ (new in Git 2.38).
+  #4776
+
+- Improve the diff shown while committing.  #3246
+
+[TODO Keep these at end.]
+
+- Added new infix arguments and suffixes to the transient prefix
+  commands ~magit-pull~, ~magit-rebase~ and ~magit-dispatch~.  Likewise
+  added new commands to keymaps ~magit-stashes-section-map~.  [TODO more]
+
