 * Bugfix: Microchip boards in optiboot mode (admittedly a rare mode) were not subtracting the size of the bootloader from the chip capacity.
 * Enhancement: Lay groundwork in Event library for the new event system changes in the EA-series (There will be 2 generators per port, and 2 for RTC - but all of these will be accessible by all event channels, and a register on the peripheral controls which of the options is used for these two channels). While inapplicable to tinyAVR, Event.h and Event.cpp distributed with DxCore and megaTinyCore is identical.
 * Bugfix: Fix compatibility of Comparator, Event, and Logic.
-* Workaround: mysterious issues with detecting the major version that prevented manual installation in 1.8.19.
+* Workaround: mysterious issues with detecting the major version that prevented manual installation ever since 1.8.14. I kept hoping that the next version would fix it, but, no such luck. It still impacted used on 1.8.19 and likely future versions as well.
 * Major enhancement: Change class hierarchy for UARTs, as was done for Two_Wire (Wire.h), so that rather than pulling in api/HardwareSerial.h, and subclassing that definition of HardwareSerial (itself a subclass of Stream) as UartClass, we instead simply subclass Stream directly. UART.h will be renamed to HardwareSerial.h, HardwareSerial.h (a compatibility layer) will be renamed to UART.h and the latter adjusted to #define UartClass as HardwareSerial, and api/HardwareSerial.h will be gutted and simply #include <HardwareSerial.h> This will remove yet another piece of the disastrous "ArduinoAPI". I describe it as such because on low resource platforms like AVR; this will allow several functions currently declared virtual to lose that keyword, as the linker, even with LTO enabled, is not permitted to remove unused virtual functions. This reduces binary size when using serial significantly, despite significant new features. Credit goes to @MX624X.
 * Enhancement: Split up the Event and Logic library headers for improved readability.
 * Enhancement: RTC millis does not interfere with waking on RTC compare match. (PR #793)
