+=====================================
+
+* Functionality to consider shipping routes when calculating the available area
+  for offshore technologies were added. Data for the shipping density comes from
+  the `Global Shipping Traffic Density dataset
+  <https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/search/dataset/0037580/Global-Shipping-Traffic-Density>`_.
+
+* When transforming all transmission lines to a unified voltage level of 380kV,
+  the workflow now preserves the transmission capacity rather than electrical
+  impedance and reactance. 
+
+* Memory resources are now specified for all rules.
+
+* Filtering of power plant data was adjusted to new versions of
+  ``powerplantmatching``.
+
+* The resolution of land exclusion calculation is now a configurable option. See
+  setting ``excluder_resolution``.
 
-* When fixing line voltages to 380kV, the workflow now preserves the transmission capacity instead of the electrical impedance and reactance.
