+* Improve side-by-side viewer look-and-feel
++
+The look-and-feel of the side-by-side viewer (and also of the unified
+viewer) has been significantly improved in this release. Coloring of
+regions is more consistently applied, reducing reader distraction.
+Comment boxes use a cleaner display, and take up less space per line.
+
+* Adjustable patch display settings
++
+Users can now set the tab size or number of columns when displaying a
+patch. Toggles are also available to enable or disable syntax
+coloring, intraline differences, whitespace errors, and visible tabs.

+* Improve performance of 'Show Full Files'
++
+The 'Show Full File' checkbox in the file viewers no longer requires
+an RPC if the file is sufficiently small enough and syntax coloring
+was enabled. The browser can update the UI using the cached data it
+already has on hand.
+
+* Show old file paths on renamed/copied files
++
+If a file was renamed or copied, the side-by-side viewer now shows the
+old file path in the column header instead of the generic header text
+'Old Version'.
