-New Configuration Options in Taskwarrior 2.5.0
+New Configuration Options in Taskwarrior 2.5.1
 
-  - The 'json.depends.array' setting controls whether dependencies are exported
-    as a JSON array, of a comma-separated string.  Default is 'on'.
-    Both variations are imported.
-  - The 'color.uda.<name>.none' is a color that is applied to tasks that do
-    not have a value for the UDA '<name>'.
-  - A Cygwin fix means that now we can default 'search.case.sensitive' to 'yes',
-    and all platforms are again equal.
-  - The new 'recur' verbosity token generates a message when a recurring task is
-    generated.
-  - The new 'unwait' verbosity token generates a message when a waiting task
-    becomes visible.
-  - The new 'rule.color.merge' configuration option can disable merging of colors
-    produced by different color rules. Use if your color scheme produces
-    unpleasing foreground and background combinations.

-Newly Deprecated Features in Taskwarrior 2.5.0
+Newly Deprecated Features in Taskwarrior 2.5.1
 
-  - The '_ids', '_projects', '_tags', '_uuids' helper commands are deprecated,
-    and replaced by the new '_unique' helper command.
-  - Comma-separated ID lists are deprecated.
-  - The 'new-uuid' verbosity token is deprecated. Its functionality will
-    be merged with the 'new-id' verbosity token.
+  -
 
-Removed Features in 2.5.0
+Removed Features in 2.5.1
 
-  - The script 'context' was removed, now that context is a core feature.
-  - Non­extended forms of ISO-8601 date/time support is removed. This means
-    that 'YYYYMMDD' is no longer supported, but 'YYYY-MM-DD' is. For times,
-    'hhmmss' is no longer supported, but 'hh:mm:ss' is. The non-extended
-    forms all contain sequences of digits that make the identification of
-    IDs, UUIDs, and various date/time formats ambiguous.
-  - Comma-separated UUID lists are no longer supported.
-  - DOM references may no longer be abbreviated.
-  - The 'urgency.next.coefficient' configuration option is deprecated in favor
-    of 'urgency.user.tag.next.coefficient'.
-  - The long deprecated syntax of color values with underscores (i.e 'on_red')
-    is no longer supported.
