 ## General improvements
 
-Support for Django version 2.x and 3.x
+- Support for Django version 2.x and 3.x
 
-## New queries
+- Taint tracking now correctly tracks taint in destructuring assignments. For example, if `tainted_list` is a list of tainted tainted elements, then
+    ```python
+    head, *tail = tainted_list
+    ```
+    will result in `tail` being tainted with the same taint as `tainted_list`, and `head` being tainted with the taint of the elements of `tainted_list`.
+
+- A large number of libraries and queries have been moved to the new `Value` API, which should result in more precise results.
+
+- The `Value` API has been extended in various ways:
+   - A new `StringValue` class has been added, for tracking string literals.
+   - Values now have a `booleanValue` method which returns the boolean interpretation of the given value.
+   - Built-in methods for which the return type is not fixed are now modeled as returning an unknown value by default.

+| First parameter of a method is not named 'self' (`py/not-named-self`) | Fewer false positives | `__class_getitem__` is now recognized as a class method. |
+| Import of deprecated module (`py/import-deprecated-module) | Fewer false positives | Deprecated modules used for backwards compatibility are no longer reported.|
+| Module imports itself (`py/import-own-module`) | Fewer false positives | Imports local to a given package are no longer classified as self-imports. |
