+Release 1.4.0
+=============
+
+New features to troubleshoot a git-multimail installation
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+* One can now perform a basic check of git-multimail's setup by
+ running the hook with the environment variable
+ GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP set to a non-empty string. See
+ doc/troubleshooting.rst for details.
+
+* A new log files system was added. See the multimailhook.logFile,
+ multimailhook.errorLogFile and multimailhook.debugLogFile variables.
+
+* git_multimail.py can now be made more verbose using
+ multimailhook.verbose.
+
+* A new option --check-ref-filter is now available to help debugging
+ the refFilter* options.
+
+Formatting emails
+-----------------
+
+* Formatting of emails was made slightly more compact, to reduce the
+ odds of having long subject lines truncated or wrapped in short list
+ of commits.
+
+* multimailhook.emailPrefix may now use the '%(repo_shortname)s'
+ placeholder for the repository's short name.
+
+* A new option multimailhook.subjectMaxLength is available to truncate
+ overly long subject lines.
+
+Bug fixes and minor changes
+---------------------------
+
+* Options refFilterDoSendRegex and refFilterDontSendRegex were
+ essentially broken. They should work now.
+
+* The behavior when both refFilter{Do,Dont}SendRegex and
+ refFilter{Exclusion,Inclusion}Regex are set have been slightly
+ changed. Exclusion/Inclusion is now strictly stronger than
+ DoSend/DontSend.
+
+* The management of precedence when a setting can be computed in
+ multiple ways has been considerably refactored and modified.
+ multimailhook.from and multimailhook.reponame now have precedence
+ over the environment-specific settings ($GL_REPO/$GL_USER for
+ gitolite, --stash-user/repo for Stash, --submitter/--project for
+ Gerrit).
+
+* The coverage of the testsuite has been considerably improved. All
+ configuration variables now appear at least once in the testsuite.
+
+This version was tested with Python 2.6 to 3.5. It also mostly works
+with Python 2.4, but there is one known breakage in the testsuite
+related to non-ascii characters. It was tested with Git
+1.7.10.406.gdc801, 1.8.5.6, 2.1.4, and 2.10.0.rc0.1.g07c9292.
