+* gh-4836: partition produces wrong results for multiple selections in equal ranges
+* gh-4656: Make fftpack._raw_fft threadsafe
+* gh-4628: incorrect argument order to _copyto in in np.nanmax, np.nanmin
+* gh-4642: Hold GIL for converting dtypes types with fields
+* gh-4733: fix np.linalg.svd(b, compute_uv=False)
+* gh-4853: avoid unaligned simd load on reductions on i386
+* gh-4722: Fix seg fault converting empty string to object
+* gh-4613: Fix lack of NULL check in array_richcompare
+* gh-4774: avoid unaligned access for strided byteswap

 Highlights
 ==========
-* Addition of `__numpy_ufunc__` to allow overriding ufuncs in ndarray
-  subclasses.
 * Numerous performance improvements in various areas, most notably indexing and
   operations on small arrays are significantly faster.
   Indexing operations now also release the GIL.

 list of axes for the reduction. The ``keepdims`` keyword argument was also
 added to allow convenient broadcasting to arrays of the original shape.
 
-Ufunc and Dot Overrides
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For better compatibility with external objects you can now override
-universal functions (ufuncs), ``numpy.core._dotblas.dot``, and
-``numpy.core.multiarray.dot`` (the numpy.dot functions). By defining a
-``__numpy_ufunc__`` method.

 Dtype parameter added to ``np.linspace`` and ``np.logspace``
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 The returned data type from the ``linspace`` and ``logspace`` functions can
