 Overview of Changes in 4.15.0, xx-xx-xxxx
 =========================================
 
+This release changes the default GSK renderer to be vulkan.
+
+The intent of this change is to get wider testing and verify that
+Vulkan drivers are good enough for this. If significant problems
+show up, we will revert this change for 4.16.
+
+You can still override the renderer choice using the GSK_RENDERER
+environment variable.
+
+---
+
+This release also changes font rendering settings by introducing
+a new high-level gtk-font-rendering settings which gives GTK more
+freedom to decide on font rendering.
+
+You can still use the low-level font-related settings by changing
+the new property to 'manual'.
+
+---
+
