 Notable changes
 ===============
 
-Blossom network upgrade
------------------------
-
-The mainnet activation of the Blossom network upgrade is supported by this
-release, with an activation height of 653600, which should occur in early
-December — roughly one day following the targeted EOS halt of our 2.0.7-3
-release. Please upgrade to this release, or any subsequent release, in order to
-follow the Blossom network upgrade.
-
-The Blossom network upgrade implements
-[ZIP208](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/zip-0208.rst) which shortens
-block times from 150s to 75s.
-
-DoS Mitigation: Mempool Size Limit and Random Drop
---------------------------------------------------
-
-This release adds a mechanism for preventing nodes from running out of memory
-in the situation where an attacker is trying to overwhelm the network with
-transactions. This is achieved by keeping track of and limiting the total
-`cost` and `evictionWeight` of all transactions in the mempool. The `cost` of a
-transaction is determined by its size in bytes, and its `evictionWeight` is a
-function of the transaction's `cost` and its fee. The maximum total cost is 
-configurable via the parameter `mempooltxcostlimit` which defaults to
-80,000,000 (up to 20,000 txs). If a node's total mempool `cost` exceeds this
-limit the node will evict a random transaction, preferentially picking larger
-transactions and ones with below the standard fee. To prevent a node from
-re-accepting evicted transactions, it keeps track of ones that it has evicted
-recently. By default, a transaction will be considered recently evicted for 60
-minutes, but this can be configured with the parameter
-`mempoolevictionmemoryminutes`.
-
-For full details see ZIP 401.
-
-Asynchronous Operations Incorrectly Reporting Success
------------------------------------------------------
-We fixed an issue where asynchronous operations were sometimes reporting sucess
-when they had actually failed. One way this could occur was when trying to use
-`z_sendmany` to create a transaction spending coinbase funds in a way where
-change would be generated (not a valid use of `z_sendmany`). In this case the
-operation would erroneously report success, and the only way to see that the 
-transaction had actually failed was to look in the `debug.log` file. Such
-operations will now correctly report that they have failed.
-
-Fake chain detection during initial block download
---------------------------------------------------
-
-One of the mechanisms that `zcashd` uses to detect whether it is in "initial
-block download" (IBD) mode is to compare the active chain's cumulative work
-against a hard-coded "minimum chain work" value. This mechanism (inherited from
-Bitcoin Core) means that once a node exits IBD mode, it is either on the main
-chain, or a fake alternate chain with similar amounts of work. In the latter
-case, the node has most likely become the victim of a 50% + 1 adversary.
-
-Starting from this release, `zcashd` additionally hard-codes the block hashes
-for the activation blocks of each past network upgrade (NU). During initial
-chain synchronization, and after the active chain has reached "minimum chain
-work", the node checks the blocks at each NU activation height against the
-hard-coded hashes. If any of them do not match, the node will immediately alert
-the user and **shut down for safety**.
-
-Disabling old Sprout proofs
----------------------------
-
-As part of our ongoing work to clean up the codebase and minimise the security
-surface of `zcashd`, we are removing `libsnark` from the codebase, and dropping
-support for creating and verifying old Sprout proofs. Funds stored in Sprout
-addresses are not affected, as they are spent using the hybrid Sprout circuit
-(built using `bellman`) that was deployed during the Sapling network upgrade.
-
-This change has several implications:
-
-- `zcashd` no longer verifies old Sprout proofs, and will instead assume they
-  are valid. This has a minor implication for nodes: during initial block
-  download, an adversary could feed the node fake blocks containing invalid old
-  Sprout proofs, and the node would accept the fake chain as valid. However,
-  as soon as the active chain contains at least as much work as the hard-coded
-  "minimum chain work" value, the node will detect this situation and shut down.
-
-- Shielded transactions can no longer be created before Sapling has activated.
-  This does not affect Zcash itself, but will affect downstream codebases that
-  have not yet activated Sapling (or that start a new chain after this point and
-  do not activate Sapling from launch). Note that the old Sprout circuit is
-  [vulnerable to counterfeiting](https://z.cash/support/security/announcements/security-announcement-2019-02-05-cve-2019-7167/)
-  and should not be used in current deployments.
-
-- Starting from this release, the circuit parameters from the original Sprout
-  MPC are no longer required to start `zcashd`, and will not be downloaded by
-  `fetch-params.sh`. They are not being automatically deleted at this time.
-
-We would like to take a moment to thank the `libsnark` authors and contributors.
-It was vital to the success of Zcash, and the development of zero-knowledge
-proofs in general, to have this code available and usable.
