-* Restructures the source tree into `serial` and `vector` backends.
-* Adds a new IFMA backend which sets speed records.
 * Adds support for precomputation for multiscalar multiplication.
+* Restructures the internal source tree into `serial` and `vector` backends (no change to external API).
+* Adds a new IFMA backend which sets speed records.
+* The `avx2_backend` feature is now an alias for the `simd_backend` feature, which autoselects an appropriate vector backend (currently AVX2 or IFMA).
 * Replaces the `rand` dependency with `rand_core`.
-* Generalizes trait bounds on 
-  - `RistrettoPoint::random()`
-  - `Scalar::random()`
-  to allow owned and borrowed RNGs and to allow `RngCore` instead of
-  `Rng`.
