 Version 1.52.5
 --------------
 
+- This release includes the "Big Hammer" patch from GNOME 3.30 to reduce memory
+  usage. For more information, read the blog post at
+  https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-memory-leak/
+  It was not originally intended to be backported to GNOME 3.28, but in practice
+  several Linux distributions already backported it, and it has been working
+  well to reduce memory usage, and the bugs have been ironed out of it.
+
+  It does decrease performance somewhat, so if you don't want that then don't
+  install this update.
