 # 12.2.0 - TBD
 
-- Added a C11 API with type-safe formatting via `_Generic`. The new `fmt-c`
-  library and `fmt/fmt-c.h` header allow C code to use {fmt}'s formatter
-  with compile-time type checking
+- Added a C11 API that brings fast, type-safe formatting to C. The new
+  `fmt-c` library and `fmt/fmt-c.h` header use `_Generic` to dispatch on
+  argument types and outperform `printf`/`sprintf`. For example:
+
+  ```c
+  #include <fmt/fmt-c.h>
+
+  char buf[100];
+  int n = fmt_format(buf, sizeof(buf), "The answer is {}.", 42);
+  ```

+- Improved integer formatting performance by ~3%
   (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4630). Thanks @user202729.
 
 - Optimized formatting into back-insert iterators by using bulk container
   append/insert methods (e.g. on `std::vector<char>` and custom string
   types) (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4679). Thanks @user202729.
 
+- Reduced binary size of debug builds (~200k to ~85k in the bloat test) and
+  improved compile speed when `consteval` is unavailable.

 - Made path formatting lossless, preserving ill-formed UTF-16
   sequences when converting `std::filesystem::path` to a narrow string.
 
-- Added overloads of `fmt::println` that take a `fmt::text_style`
-  (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4782). Thanks @ahoarau.

 - Added support for formatting `std::unexpected`
   (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/4675). Thanks @17steen.
