+NOTABLE CHANGES
+---------------
+
+The largest notable changes in the 1.7 release are:
+
+- Complete unification of network security support.  All network protocols
+  (currently, POP and SMTP) have been refactored to use a common set of
+  security routines.  This means all protocols support all SASL mechanisms
+  (via the Cyrus-SASL library) and TLS.  TLS support has been strengthened
+  to perform certificate name validation and to require TLS 1.1 as a
+  minimum protocol.  Also, all protocols can make use of the OAuth2/XOAUTH
+  SASL mechanism, which is supported by gmail.
+- send(1) now supports adding switches to post(8) based on the address or
+  domain of the email address in the From: header; this more easily allows
+  users to support multiple identities.
+- A generic facility for passing arguments to filter programs in repl(1)
+  by use of the -convertargs switch.
+- Native support for the manipulation of iCalendar requests; see mhical(1)
+  for more details.
