+40.beta
+-------
+
+* Completing GNOME Initial Setup no longer triggers GNOME Tour. GNOME Shell 40
+  now prompts new and upgrading users to run the tour. (#120)
+
+* Previous versions of Initial Setup would run the first time a user logs in
+  ("existing user" mode) as well as when the system is booted with no users
+  ("new user" mode). Initial Setup no longer displays any UI in "existing user"
+  mode, to avoid colliding with the tour. The mode has not been removed in code
+  – a simple check has been added to the main() function. If your distribution
+  needs the old behaviour, this check can be patched out. The hope is that a
+  future version of GNOME will restore "existing user" mode, but run Initial
+  Setup from the same cut-down Shell that is used in "new user" mode. (#120)
+
+* Initial Setup's .desktop file is now installed to @datadir@/applications
+  (i.e. /usr/share/applications) rather than a GDM-specific directory. This
+  means its icon is displayed correctly when run within a normal shell session.
+  Some distros have previously worked around this issue by installing a
+  symbolic link. (The astute reader may note that this is a no-op given the
+  previous bullet point, but it is still a nice clean-up.) (#52)
+
+* Translation updates:
+ - Panjabi
+ - Portuguese
