 The main changes since release 0.14.3 are
 
-- New core infrastructure for repository operations
-- Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands
-- Automatic reverting of changes following a failed operation (using
-  transactions)
-- New 'squash' command for combining two or more patches into one
-- New 'publish' command for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which
-  are not rebased)
-- New patch identification format - <branch>:<patch> (see 'id'
-  command)
-- UI improvements and removal of the 'add', 'rm' and 'resolved'
-  commands since there are corresponding Git equivalents
-- Emacs mode improvements
-- Man pages and improved tutorial
-
-Special thanks go to Karl Hasselström for the hard work done on the
-new StGit features.
+  - New core infrastructure for repository operations, including
+
+      + Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands.
+
+      + Automatic rollback of changes following a failed operation
+        (using transactions)---this ensures that StGit commands either
+        succeed or do nothing. Previously, every commands had its own
+        ad hoc implementation of this.
+
+  - Some commands were added, including
+
+      + "stg squash", for combining two or more patches into one.
+
+      + "stg publish", for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which
+        are not rebased).
+
+  - The commands "stg add", "stg rm", "stg cp", and "stg resolved"
+    were removed, since there are corresponding Git equivalents
+
+  - New patch identification syntax: <branch>:<patch> (see
+    documentation for the "stg id" command).
+
+  - A powerful Emacs mode for StGit was added to the "contrib"
+    directory. It displays the patch stack in an Emacs buffer, and can
+    handle all common StGit tasks.
+
+  - Improved bash tab-completion, automatically generated from the stg
+    command definitions.
+
+  - Man pages and an improved tutorial.
+
+Special thanks go to Karl Wiberg for the hard work done on the new
+StGit features, to Catalin Marinas for many new features and bugfixes,
+and to David KÃ¥gedal and Gustav HÃ¥llberg for the Emacs mode.
