+1.7.0
+=====
 
 New Features
 ------------
 
-#. Sparse and dense covariance estimation (EXPERIMENTAL).
+#. Sparse and dense covariance estimation.
+#. A new Wolfe line search. (Alex Stewart)
+#. ``BFGS`` line search direction. (Alex Stewart)
 #. C API
 #. Speeded up the use of loss functions > 17x.
 #. Use of Inner iterations can now be adaptively stopped. Iteration
    and runtime statistics for inner iterations are not reported in
    ``Solver::Summary`` and ``Solver::Summary::FullReport``.
 #. Add BlockRandomAccessCRSMatrix.
+#. Speeded up automatic differentiation by 7\%.
 #. Bundle adjustment example from libmv/Blender (Sergey Sharybin)
+#. Add the ability to turn shared library compilation on and off
+#. No more dependence on Protocol Buffers.
+#. Incomplete LQ factorization.
+#. Ability to write trust region problems to disk.
+#. Add sinh, cosh, tanh and tan functions to automatic differentiation
+   (Johannes Schönberger)
 
 Bug Fixes
