     New Features Since 1.7.4:
 
-      * 
+      * GIO/udev-based hardware backend
+
+        Our old HAL-based backend still works, but HAL has been deprecated and 
+        even removed from some distributions; GIO/udev are the future.
+
+      * Apple Devices backend with support for iPod/iOS devices
+
+        Our ipod-sharp/podsleuth-based backend still exists, but this libgpod
+        based backend is the future.  This is its first release, so it should be
+        considered beta quality; please file bugs!
+
+      * MPRIS support (Ubuntu Sound Indicator, etc)
+
+      * Audiobooks and Miro Guide extensions enabled by default
 
     Enhancements/API Additions:
 
-      * 
+      * Play menu item in track context menu
+      * Amazon affiliate codes for all supported countries
+      * "Amazon MP3s" Music smart playlist
+      * Miro Guide teaser in Podcasts
+      * Zoom support in Amazon MP3 Store and Miro Guide
+      * Now Playing simplify mode that declutters the UI
+      * Play Queue shuffle action
+      * Podcast errors shown to user
+      * Better MTP device detection
+      * Default smart playlists hidden when empty, for new users
+      * New and improved user documentation
+
+      * Developers: Our new gstreamer-sharp based media engine backend has seen
+                    some recent improvements.  It's alpha quality, but is usable
+                    and ready for hacking.  Our libbanshee-based backend is still
+                    the only one recommended for end-users.
 
       * Packagers: You may need to call update-mime-database in a post-install
                    package hook for the AmazonMp3 extension.
