+### OfflineIMAP v7.0.0 (2016-07-22)
+
+#### Notes
+
+Finally, the new v7.0.0 is ready. This comes with breaking changes:
+
+- Passwords are now expected in Unicode almost everywhere. They are used with
+  the UTF-8 charset. However, some configuration options are not UTF-8 friendly
+  mostly because of library limitations (e.g.: `remotepass`).
+
+  Users with Unicode caracters in the passwords are recommended to use a file or
+  `remotepasseval`.
+
+- The sqlite database is the default.
+
+  Please, read [this blog post]({% post_url 2016-05-19-sqlite-becomes-default %}).
+
+- The PID file is no longer used because offlineimap is able to run multiple
+  instances.
+
+Please read the intermediate changelogs.
+
