Thanks for bringing this up, Jakub!  To be honest, I haven't really
thought about the release announcement before, so this is a fine reminder.

Regarding the FPM logging changes: indeed, this seems to be quite an
improvement! :)  However, it seems there is no note in UPGRADING (which
is important for the migration guide in the manual) yet.  Could you
please add the missing note?

Regarding other prominent features, I think the “Flexible Heredoc and
Nowdoc Syntaxes”[2] and the “PCRE2 migration”[3] should certainly be
mentioned.  Also the MBString improvements[4], as well as the
deprecations[5], and also the file related Windows improvements[6].

I'm likely missing other important changes, and may overestimate some of
those I've mentionened above.  I'm looking forward to suggestions!
