 - PHP startup errors are now logged, instead of having F3 crash with Error 500 ([#1195](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1195))
 - In order to support offline mode, we moved much of the UI to the browser. ([#1150](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1150), [#1184](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1184), [#1215](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1215), [#1216](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1216))
 - We carried out a significant internal refactoring ([#1164](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1164), [#1190](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1190))
+- Removed Instapaper spout since it has been broken since its acquisition. Sources using it were migrated to “RSS Feed (with content extraction)”. ([#1245](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1245))
 - Placeholders are now used for images before they are loaded to avoid content jumping around ([#1204](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/pull/1204))
 - Search button is now always on the screen, avoiding the need to scroll to top to be able to use it. ([#1231](https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/issues/1231))
 - Button for opening articles, tags, sources and filters in the sidebar, as well as the source and tag links in articles are now real links, allowing to open them in a new tab by middle-clicking them.
