 == Backwards Compatibility Changes ==
 
-* Mercurial now requires at least Python 2.7.9 or a Python version that
-  backported modern SSL/TLS features (as defined in PEP 466), and that Python
-  was compiled against a OpenSSL version supporting TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2
-  (likely this requires the OpenSSL version to be at least 1.0.1).
-
-* The `hg perfwrite` command from contrib/perf.py was made more flexible and
-  changed its default behavior. To get the previous behavior, run `hg perfwrite
-  --nlines=100000 --nitems=1 --item='Testing write performance' --batch-line`.
