+				<li>
+					Updated coreboot-libre
+					<ul>
+						<li>i945: permanently set tft_brightness to 0xff (fixes bug on X60 where
+						turning up brightness at max would make it loop back to low brightness)</li>

+						will want to modify, which remains in CBFS.
+					</ul>
+				</li>
+				<li>docs/release.html Add DMP vortex86ex to list of candidates.</li>
+				<li>docs/release.html Add ThinkPad X201 to list of candidates.</li>
+				<li>New links added to docs/security/x60_security and docs/security/t60_security</li>

+				<li>
+					docs/release.html: Remove Acer CB5 from list of future candidates.
+					<ul>
+						<li>
+							Too many issues. Chromebooks are crippled (soldered RAM/storage/wifi)
+							and have too many usability issues for the libreboot project.
+						</li>
+					</ul>
+				</li>
+				<li>docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html Major cleanup. Usability improvements.</li>
+				<li>hocs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html: Fixed mistakes/typos. General improvements</li>
+				<li>
+					flash (flashrom script): remove boardmismatch=force
+					<ul>
+						<li>
+							 This was put there before for users upgrading from libreboot r5
+							 to r6, but also allows the user to flash the wrong image. For
+							 example, the user could flash a T60 image on an X60, thus
+							 bricking the machine. It's almost certain that most people
+							 have upgraded by now, so remove this potentially dangerous
+							 option.
+						</li>
+					</ul>
+				</li>
+				<li>Documentation: update compatibility list for X60T LCD panels.</li>
+				<li>docs/release.html: add note about X60 Tablet board in X60/X60s</li>

+				<li>docs/howtos/grub_boot_installer.html: improved readability, fixed html errors</li>
+				<li>Documentation (macbook21 related): clean up</li>
+			</ul>
