   II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
 
     - A bunch  of new functions has  been added to access  and process
-      COLR/CPAL data of OpenType fonts with coloured glyph layers.
+      COLR/CPAL data of OpenType fonts with color-layered glyphs.
 
         FT_Palette_Data_Get
+          Retrieve color palette data.
         FT_Palette_Select
+          Select and activate a color palette for color-layered
+          glyphs.
         FT_Palette_Set_Foreground_Color
+          Set text foreground color for palette index 0xFFFF.
+
         FT_Get_Color_Glyph_Layer
+          Get color layers for a given glyph (using an interator
+          object).
+
         FT_Bitmap_Blend
+          Blend one bitmap onto another with a given color.
+
+    - An   experimental  feature   is   the  new   behaviour  of   the
+      `FT_LOAD_COLOR' load  flag for color-layered  glyphs: Internally
+      it  sets a  flag so  that  if `FT_Render_Glyph'  is called  with
+      `FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL'      (or       `FT_Load_Glyph'      with
+      `FT_LOAD_RENDER'), a default blending  of the color glyph layers
+      will happen automatically for convenience.
