+
+1. New features
+a) Selective fetch restriction
+Bug #371413
+b) Install-time CBUILD dependencies (IDEPEND)
+Bug #660306
+2. Enhancements of existing features
+a) Variant of || ( ) with defined runtime behaviour
+Bug #489458
+- From original EAPI 6 (and 7) feature list
+b) Pass --datarootdir to configure
+Bug #651958
+c) Pass --disable-static to configure
+Bug #744871
+d) Accumulate PROPERTIES and RESTRICT over eclasses and ebuilds
+Bug #701132
+e) RESTRICT value for network-restricted tests
+Bug #553696
+f) dosym -r to create symlinks relative to link location
+Bug #708360
+g) Second optional argument for usev
+Bug #744868
+3. Other changes
+a) Less strict naming rules for files in updates directory
+Bug #692774
+b) Bash 5.0
+Bug #636652
+c) More consistent insopts/exeopts
+Bug #657580
+d) Default src_prepare accepts only file names in PATCHES
+Bug #752486
+This is a tiny change. Currently, the implementation allows "clever"
+uses like:
+PATCHES=( -d /path/to/patch -p0 -R foo.patch bar.patch )
+This is at least confusing, and not the intended use. Ebuilds that need
+to apply non-standard patches should add a src_prepare function with
+explicit eapply calls.
+4. Removals and bans
+a) unpack: Remove support for 7-Zip, RAR, and LHA
+Bug #690968
+
+---
+All features accepted unanimously
