 4.2.0
 -----
 
+Added Complex Text Rendering
+============================
+
+Pillow now supports complex text rendering for scripts requiring glyph
+composition and bidirectional flow. This optional feature adds three
+dependencies: harfbuzz, fribidi, and raqm. See the install
+documentation for further details. This feature is tested and works on
+Un*x and Mac, but has not yet been built on Windows platforms.
+
 Removed Deprecated Items
 ========================
 
 Several deprecated items have been removed.
 
-* The methods :py:meth:`PIL.ImageWin.Dib.fromstring`, :py:meth:`PIL.ImageWin.Dib.tostring` and :py:meth:`PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v2.as_dict` have been removed.

+  been removed.
 
-* Before Pillow 4.2.0, attempting to save an RGBA image as JPEG would discard the alpha channel. From Pillow 3.4.0, a deprecation warning was shown. From Pillow 4.2.0, the deprecation warning is removed and an :py:exc:`IOError` is raised.
