+Woohoo!
+
+New commands:
+
+* `wp package update` - Update all installed WP-CLI packages to their latest version.
+* `wp scaffold theme-tests` - Scaffold unit tests for themes.
+
+Command improvements:
+
+* `wp cache type`:
+   * Supports WP LCache as a cache type [[#3504](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3504)].
+* `wp cli aliases`:
+   * Adds `alias` to subcommand for easier access [[#3512](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3512)].
+* `wp cli update`:
+   * Verifies release hash when updating [[#3515](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3515)].
+   * No longer requires `--allow--root` flag when running as root [[#3576](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3576)].
+* `wp core config`:
+   * Ensures WordPress Coding Standards are applied to the generated wp-config [[#3496](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3496)].
+* `wp core (install|multisite-install)`
+   * Defaults to a randomly generated password for `--admin_password=<password>`, which is now optional [[#3535](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3535), [#3573](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3573)].
+* `wp core language (install|update)`:
+   * Caches language pack downloads [[#3595](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3595)].
+* `wp core update`:
+   * Use global namespace for `WP_Error` in `CoreUpgrader` class [[#3593](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3593)].
+* `wp core update-db`:
+   * Sets the `WP_INSTALLING` constant for the update process [[#3503](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3503)].
+* `wp package install`:
+   * Uses supplied version in package composer.json, instead of "dev-master" [[#3519](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3519)].
+   * Adds WP-CLI version to package manager's `composer.json`, to gracefully handle WP-CLI version constraints [[#3603](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3603)].
+* `wp package list`:
+   * Indicates when a package has an update available [[#3611](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3611), [#3612](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3612)].
+* `wp post delete`:
+   * Correctly indicates revisions are deleted immediately in success message [[#3524](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3524)].
+* `wp scaffold plugin`:
+   * Ignores distribution archive files in `.gitignore` and `.distignore` [[#3520](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3520)].
+   * Ignores `circle.yml`, `.gitlab-ci.yml` and `behat.yml` in `.distignore` [[#3599](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3599)].
+* `wp scaffold plugin-tests`:
+   * Checks out the data directory in `install-wp-tests.sh` to prevent notices in WP 4.7 [[#3571](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3571)].
+
+Framework enhancements:
+
+* Updates Composer-based dependencies to latest [[#3498](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3498), [#3525](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3525)].
+* Introduces `--prompt=<assoc>` to prompt for specific associative args, which lets users avoid exposing secure data in bash history [[#3531](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3531)].
+* Adds support for the version of PHP that comes with Cygwin [[#3591](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/pull/3591)].
