 This is a glimpse into some of the more notable improvements and additions to Haiku, since the previous release, R1 Alpha 2. It should be noted that countless bugs have been fixed.
 
+Improved read (and write support) for various filesystems, which includes btrfs, exFAT, ext2, ext3, ext4, ntfs, udf, and others.
+
+Implemented a partial fallback for displaying missing glyphs. For example some Japanese and Chinese characters will now display.
+
+Utilized Gutenprint to provide additional printer support.
+
+Various enhancements to hardware support, such as IO-APIC, acpi, video drivers, network drivers, & USB.
+
+Updated to include GCC 4.4.4 as a secondary and experimental compiler (Available for experimental use via `setgcc gcc4`).
+
+Support for weak symbols & symbol preemption in GCC 4 has been introduced.
+
+Integrated StackAndTile, which was originally pioneered by the University of Auckland (Available for experimental use via `setdecor SATDecorator`).
