+Features
+~~~~~~~~
+
+- Added possibility to `extend openwisp-controller
+  <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-controller#extending-openwisp-controller>`_
+- Added flat JSON widget for configuration variables
+- Added JSON Schema widget to credentials admin
+- Added ``device_registered`` signal
+- Added `OpenWISP Notifications <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-notifications#openwisp-notifications>`_
+  module as a dependency, which brings support for
+  web and email notifications for important events
+- Allow using a different device model in update_config:
+  his allows `OpenWISP Monitoring <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-monitoring#openwisp-monitoring>`_
+  to override the ``can_be_updated`` method to take into account the monitoring status,
+  so that push updates won't be attempted
+- Added notifications for changes of ``is_working`` status of credentials
+- UX, automatically add/remove default values to device context:
+  automatically add or remove default values of templates to the configuration context
+  (a.k.a. configuration variables) when templates are added or removed from devices
+- UX: added `system defined variables
+  <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-controller#system-defined-variables>`_ section
+
+Changes
+~~~~~~~
+
+- **Backward incompatible**: the code of `django-netjsonconfig <https://github.com/openwisp/django-netjsonconfig>`_
+  was merged in openwisp-controller to simplify maintenance
+- Changed API of ``device_location`` view for consistency: ``/api/device-location/{id}/``
   becomes ``/api/v1/device/{id}/location/``, the old URL is kept for backward compatibility
   but will be removed in the future
-- [api] Added `API documentation <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-controller#geo-app>`_
-- improved documentation
-- [change] **Backward incompatible change**: schema url endpoint changed to ``<controller-url>/config/schema.json`` and it's now in config namespace instead of admin namespace.
+- **Backward incompatible change**: schema url endpoint changed to ``<controller-url>/config/schema.json``
+  and it's now in config namespace instead of admin namespace
+- Changed VPN DH length to 2048 and move its generation to the background because it's a lot slower
+- Admin: Order Device, Template and VPN alphabetically by default
+- Admin: Added ``mac_address`` field to the device list page (``DeviceAdmin.list_display``)
+- Increased ``max_length`` of common name to ``64``
+- Changed the config apply logic to avoid restarting the openwisp-config
+  deamon if the configuration apply procedure is already being run
+- Made template ``config`` field required in most cases
+- Changed ``DeviceConnection.failure_reason`` field to ``TextField``,
+  this avoids possible exception if ``failed_reason`` is very long,
+  which may happen in some corner cases
+- Made Device ``verbose_name`` configurable, see ``OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_DEVICE_VERBOSE_NAME``
+- Increased `netjsonconfig <https://github.com/openwisp/netjsonconfig#netjsonconfig>`__ version to 0.9.x
+  (which brings support for new interface types,
+  `see the change log of netjsonconfig <http://netjsonconfig.openwisp.org/en/latest/general/changelog.html#version-0-9-0-2020-11-18>`_
+  for more information)
+- Increased `django-x509 <https://github.com/openwisp/django-x509#django-x509>`_ version to 0.9.x
+- Increased `django-loci <https://github.com/openwisp/django-loci#django-loci>`_ version to 0.4.x
+  (which brings many bug fixes to the mapping feature, as long as support for
+  geo-coding and reverse geo-coding,
+  `see the change log of django-loci <https://github.com/openwisp/django-loci/blob/master/CHANGES.rst#version-040-2020-11-19>`_
+  for more information)
+- Increased `openwisp-users <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-users#openwisp-users>`__ version from 0.2.x to 0.5.x
+  (which brings many interesting improvements to multi-tenancy,
+  `see the change log of openwisp-users <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-users/blob/master/CHANGES.rst#version-050-2020-11-18>`_
+  for more information)
+- Increased `django-taggit <https://github.com/jazzband/django-taggit>`_ version to 1.3.x
+- Increased `openwisp-utils <https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-utils#openwisp-utils>`__ version to 0.7.x
+- Increased `django-rest-framework-gis <https://github.com/openwisp/django-rest-framework-gis>`_ version to 0.16.x
+- Added support for django 3.1
+
+Bugfixes
+~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fixed JSON validation error when dealing with OpenVPN configuration
+- Ensured ``unique`` in ``HARDWARE_ID_OPTIONS`` defaults to ``False``
+- Avoid need of migration if ``HARDWARE_ID_OPTIONS`` is changed
+- JS: prevent crash if backend value is empty
+- Do not execute default template selection if device exists
+- Close preview overlay on errors
+- Avoid triggering ``config_modified`` signal during registration
+- UI: Fixed whitespace after overview tab in in device page
+- Validate ``Config.context`` and ``Template.default_values``:
+  ``Config.context`` and ``Template.default_values`` must always be a dictionary,
+  falsy values will be converted to empty dictionary automatically
+- Fixed failures in ``update_config`` operation:
+  the ``update_config`` operation will be executed only when the transaction
+  is committed to the database; also handled rare but possible error conditions
+- Handled device not existing case in ``update_config`` task
+- Fixed auto cert feature failure when device name is too long
+- UI: avoid showing main scrollbar in preview mode
+- Fixed ``OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_BACKEND_DEVICE_LIST = False``
+- UI fixed advanced mode bugs: positioning is done using css instead of js.
+  Removed body scrollbar when in advanced mode.
+  Back to normal mode with ESC key.
+  Hidden netjsonconfig docs hint on narrow screens.
+- Avoid simultaneous ``update_config`` tasks:
+  since now the launch of the task is executed when the
+  transaction is committed to the database, also the
+  check for other updates in progress must be moved there
+- Fixed ``OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_CONTEXT`` setting getting modified at run time
+- Fixed z-index of preview overlay: the z-index is increased so it's higher
+  than the main navigation menu to avoid the possibility of triggering the
+  main menu inadvertently
+- Prevent sending ``config_modified`` signal multiple times
+- Fix timeout when changing template: slow operations are moved to the background
+- Fixed variablle validation: now all the available context
+  (device variables, system variables) are taken into account when performing validation
+- Removed unnecessary ``static()`` call from media assets
