 Release notes for NUT 2.8.4 - what's new since 2.8.3
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 
 https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/milestone/9
 
- - `lib/*.pc.in`: propagate `-R/PATH` to NUT library installation location
-   (by default not in system prefix) to help third-party clients link with
-   us automatically. [#2782]
-
  - (expected) Dynamic Mapping Files (DMF) feature supported, to allow
    the driver binaries to be built once and data mappings to be loaded
    and modernized on the fly (porting from 42ITy project)
 
- - (expected) Porting of reference packaging from 42ITy project
-
- - (expected) Porting of patches suggested by different distribution packages
-
- - (expected) C code clean-up/consistency (string format security, work with
-   Boolean values, string to number conversions, etc. in the same manner)
-
- - (expected) clean-up of libusb API variants support [#300 and follow-ups]
-
- - (expected) CI automation for coding style
-
- - (expected) CI automation for driver flags and variables to be certainly
-   documented, handled in augeas lenses, nutconf classes, etc.
-
- - (expected) CI automation for use of data points in drivers that conform
-   to patterns defined in link:docs/nut-names.txt[]
-
- - (expected) Bug fixes for fallout possible due to "fightwarn" effort in 2.8.0+
+ - New NUT drivers:
+   * Introduced a `ve-direct` driver for Victron Energy UPS/solar panels
+     monitoring. Most specific reported values are in an `experimental.*`
+     namespace, as a community we need to come up with standard naming for
+     those via `docs/nut-names.txt`. [#440]
+   * Introduced a `nutdrv_hashx` driver for numerous devices from Ablerex,
+     Atlantis Land, Epyc, Infosec, ION, PowerWalker, Right Power Technology,
+     Salicru, UPS Solutions and other vendors (originally shipped with a
+     "PowerMaster+", "PowerMaster" or "PowerGuide" software companion suite).
+     This seems to be a protocol developed by Cyber Energy for serial-port
+     devices, subsequently used by different vendors in their own products
+     or re-branded Cyber Energy creations. [#2940]
+   * Introduced a `failover` driver for monitoring multiple UPS driver sockets
+     and seamless switching out of UPS data in a failover situation, includes
+     support for end-to-end tracked instant commands and also variable updating.
+     [#2962]
+   * Introduced USB (`powervar_cx_usb`) and Serial (`powervar_cx_ser`) drivers
+     for Powervar CUSPP protocol, tested with GTS (USB) and UPM (USB, Serial)
+     models. [#2988]
+
+ - NUT Monitor GUI:
+   * Ported Python 3 version to Qt6, now shipped alongside Qt5 for systems
+     with either or both, maximizing compatibility with old and new setups.
+     [#2946]
