+42.alpha
+----
+
+* Initial Setup now depends on libgweather-4 and gnome-desktop-4, rather than
+  their predecessors. Meson wrap files are provided in case these dependencies
+  are not available.
+
+* The third-party software sources page has been tweaked to more accurately
+  describe what the switch does, and to replace the switch with a
+  suggested-action toggle button. (This page is currently Fedora-specific;
+  patches welcome!)
+
+* The COPYING file has been clarified to contain only a copy of GPL version 2.
+  Previously it also contained a copy of LGPL version 2 (not 2.1). There is no
+  change to the actual licensing of GNOME Initial Setup: as before, it is
+  distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or
+  later.
+
+* The summary page widget tree has been simplified, with no visual change.
+
+* Some Meson deprecation warnings have been addressed. Meson 0.53.0 or newer is
+  now required to build Initial Setup.
+
+* Translation updates:
+ - Basque
+ - Bulgarian
+ - Chinese (China)
+ - Croatian
+ - Friulian
+ - Hebrew
+ - Icelandic
+ - Indonesian
+ - Japanese
+ - Latvian
+ - Occitan (post 1500)
+ - Portuguese
+ - Portuguese (Brazil)
+ - Russian
+ - Serbian
+ - Slovak
+ - Spanish
+ - Swedish
+ - Ukrainian
+ - Vietnamese
