 * WikitextContent will now render redirects with the expected "redirect"
   header, rather than as an ordered list. Code calling Article::viewRedirect
   can probably be changed to no longer special-case redirects.
+* Header font set to a serif font stack. See
+  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
+* (bug 63903) Thumbnails without an explicit size specification are
+  now resized to a square bounding box. This gives better results for
+  non-landscape thumbnails.
+* (bug 65567) Added a new hook, "BeforeHttpsRedirect", to allow cancellation of the HTTP
+  to HTTPS redirect due to forceHTTPS cookie, userRequires, etc.  This is only for page views,
+  since this hook doesn't affect UserLogin, OAuth, CentralAuth, etc.
+  ATTENTION: This hook is likely to be removed soon due to overall design of the system.
