 * Reduced the library size. For example, on macOS the stripped binary
-  statically linked with {fmt} shrinked from ~368k to less than 100k:

+* Applied extern templates to improve compile times when using the core API
+  and ``fmt/format.h`` (`#1452 <https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1452>`_).
+  For example, on macOS with clang the compile time dropped from 2.3s to 0.3s
+  with ``-O2`` or from 0.6s to 0.3s with the default settings (``-O0``).

+
+  It is still recommended to use ``fmt/core.h`` instead of ``fmt/format.h`` but
+  the compile time difference is now smaller.

+  Thanks `@alex3d <https://github.com/alex3d>`_ for the suggestion.

 * Named arguments are now stored on stack (no dynamic memory allocations) and

 * Implemented the ``'L'`` specifier for locale-specific formatting of
   floating-point numbers to improve compatibility with ``std::format``
   (`#1624 <https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1624>`_).
 
+* Made ``fmt::printf`` not compute string length when using precision to allow
+  passing non-nul-terminated strings
+  (`#1595 <https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1595>`_):
+
+  .. code:: c++
+
+     char foo[] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'};
+     fmt::printf("%.5s\n", foo);  // This is fine.
+
+* Removed the deprecated and disabled by default ``fmt`` macro and
+  ``FMT_STRING_ALIAS``.
+
 * Improved documentation
   (`#1643 <https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1643>`_).
