+  <listitem>
+    <para>The garbage collector now starts deleting garbage much
+    faster than before.  It no longer determines liveness of all paths
+    in the store, but does so on demand.</para>
+  </listitem>
+
+  <listitem>
+    <para>Added a new operation, <command>nix-store --query
+    --roots</command>, that shows the garbage collector roots that
+    directly or indirectly point to the given store paths.</para>
+  </listitem>
+
+  <listitem>

+    databases to the new schema.</para>
+  </listitem>
+
+  <listitem>
+    <para>Removed the <option>--use-atime</option> and
+    <option>--max-atime</option> garbage collector options.  They were
+    not very useful in practice.</para>
+  </listitem>
