+Calls 42.alpha.0
+----------------
+Released: 12 December 2021
+
+New features:
+=============
+
+* Avatars in the call history and call display
+* Avatars exposed over DBus so phosh show them on the lockscreen
+* Can silence ringing over DBus (used in phosh-antispam by Chris Talbot)
+
+Maybe noteworthy:
+=================
+
+* Note to distribution packagers:
+Both Calls and current phosh (0.14.1) are embedding libcall-ui which will install
+translation files (typically installed to /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/call-ui.mo).
+The next phosh version will default to not installing i18n files of libcall-ui
+(https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/963).
+For this version you should either cherry pick
+https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/commit/b51e200189525c46aa2fa9832e8d861cf2d95a9d
+or exclude `call-ui.mo` when installing phosh's translations in your packaging.
+* Improved scrolling performance in the call history
+* Can use DTMF over DBus (used in phosh on the lockscreen)
+* Various UI fixes by Christopher Davis
+* Contributions by
+ - Christopher Davis
+ - Guido Günther
+ - Dorota Czaplejewicz

+Released: 30 October 2021
+
+Noteworthy:
