+Maintenance
+-----------
+
+* New configuration options: "DefaultPrivateCreator" and "StorageCommitmentReportsSize"
+* Support of MPEG4 transfer syntaxes in C-Store SCP
+* C-FIND SCU at Instance level now sets the 0008,0052 tag to IMAGE per default (was INSTANCE).
+  Therefore, the "ClearCanvas" and "Dcm4Chee" modality manufacturer have now been deprecated.
+* More strict C-FIND SCP wrt. the DICOM standard: Forbid wildcard
+  matching on some VRs, ignore main tags below the queried level
+* Fix issue #65 (Logging improvements)
+* Fix issue #103 ("queries/.../retrieve" API returns HTTP code 200 even on server errors)
+* Fix issue #140 (Modifying private tags with REST API changes VR from LO to UN)
+* Fix issue #154 (Matching against list of UID-s by C-MOVE)
+* Fix issue #156 (Chunked Dicom-web transfer uses 100% CPU)
+* Fix issue #165 (Boundary parameter in multipart Content-Type is too long)
+* Fix issue #166 (CMake find_boost version is now broken with newer boost/cmake)
+* Fix issue #167 (Job can't be cancelled - Handling of timeouts after established association)
+* Fix issue #168 (Plugins can't read private tags from the configuration file)
+* Upgraded dependencies for static builds (notably on Windows):
+  - dcmtk 3.6.5
