-* The new async/await keywords in Python 3.5 are supported. TODO: say more.
+* The new async/await keywords in Python 3.5 are supported. In most cases,
+  ``async def`` can be used in place of the ``@gen.coroutine`` decorator.
+  Inside a function defined with ``async def``, use ``await`` instead of
+  ``yield`` to wait on an asynchronous operation. Coroutines defined with
+  async/await will be faster than those defined with ``@gen.coroutine`` and
+  ``yield``, but do not support some features including `.Callback`/`.Wait` or
+  the ability to yield a Twisted ``Deferred``.

 `tornado.template`
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 * `tornado.template.ParseError` now includes the filename in addition to
   line number.
+* Whitespace handling has become more configurable. The `.Loader`
+  constructor now has a ``whitespace`` argument, there is a new
+  ``template_whitespace`` `.Application` setting, and there is a new
+  ``{% whitespace %}`` template directive. All of these options take
+  a mode name defined in the `tornado.template.filter_whitespace` function.
+  The default mode is ``single``, which is the same behavior as prior
+  versions of Tornado.

 * `.ExpectLog` objects now have a boolean ``logged_stack`` attribute to
   make it easier to test whether an exception stack trace was logged.

+* Responses smaller than 1000 bytes will no longer be compressed.
+* The default gzip compression level is now 6 (was 9).
