 Highlights
 ==========
+The NumPy 1.12.0 release contains a large number of fixes and improvements, but
+few that stand out above all others. That makes picking out the highlights
+somewhat arbitrary but the following may be of particular interest or indicate
+areas likely to have future consequences. 
 
-* Order of operations in ``np.einsum`` now can be optimized for large speed improvements.
+* Order of operations in ``np.einsum`` can now be optimized for large speed improvements.
 * New ``signature`` argument to ``np.vectorize`` for vectorizing with core dimensions.
 * The ``keepdims`` argument was added to many functions.
+* New context manager for testing warnings
+* Support for BLIS in numpy.distutils
+* Much improved support for PyPy (not yet finished)
