 ## Features
 ##
 
-- Autodetect hash-type: performs an automatic analysis of the input hash(es), associating compatible algorithms, or executing the attack if only one compatible format is found
-- Autodetect hash-type: Added option --identify to limit hashcat to perform only autodetection of hash-type and to skip the backend device initialization

+- Autodetect hash-type: added option --identify to only perform autodetection of hash-type, without back-end device initialization

 ## Bugs
 ##
 
-- Fixed error message in -a 9 mode with rules in case number of words from wordlist are not in sync with number of unique salts
-- Fixed error handling logic in monitor thread to not return in case of error (disc full, permission error, ...) but to retry instead
-- Fixed false negatives with TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt in case zip or gzip compressed files were used as keyfiles
-- Fixed free memory size output for skipped GPU (both automatic and manual) of --backend-info information screen

 ## Improvements
 ##
 
 - AES Crypt Plugin: Reduced max password length from 256 to 128 which improved performance by 22%
-- CUDA Backend: Do not warn about missing CUDA SDK installation if --stdout is used
-- Folder Management: Add support for XDG Base Directory specification if hashcat was installed using make install
+- CUDA Backend: If --stdout is used, do not warn about missing CUDA SDK
+- Folder Management: Add support for XDG Base Directory specification when hashcat is installed using 'make install'
 - Hardware Monitor: Add support for GPU device utilization readings from sysfs (AMD on Linux)
-- OpenCL Backend: Use CL_DEVICE_BOARD_NAME_AMD instead of CL_DEVICE_NAME for device name in case OpenCL runtime supports this query
-- Performance Monitor: Add -S as a user suggestion to improve cracking performance in specific attack configurations
+- OpenCL Backend: Use CL_DEVICE_BOARD_NAME_AMD instead of CL_DEVICE_NAME for device name (when supported by OpenCL runtime)
+- Performance Monitor: Suggest -S to improve cracking performance in specific attack configurations
 - RAR3-p (Compressed): Fix workaround in unrar library in AES constant table generation to enable multi-threading support
-- RC4 Kernels: Improved performance by 20%+ for hash-modes Kerberos 5 (etype 23), MS Office (<= 2003) and PDF (<= 1.6) by using new RC4 code
-- Scrypt Kernels: Re-enable scrypt based kernels to use kernel cache
-- Status Screen: Show currently running kernel type (pure, optimized) and generator type (host, device)
-- UTF8-to-UTF16: Replaced naive UTF8 to UTF16 conversion with true conversion for RAR3, AES Crypt, MultiBit HD (scrypt) and Umbraco HMAC-SHA1
