 - Support for `--ignored-suffix` argument. See #1892 (@bojan88)
 - `$BAT_CONFIG_DIR` is now a recognized environment variable. It has precedence over `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, see #1727 (@billrisher)
 - Support for `x:+delta` syntax in line ranges (e.g. `20:+10`). See  #1810 (@bojan88)
+- Add new `--acknowledgements` option that gives credit to theme and syntax definition authors. See #1971 (@Enselic)

 ## `bat` as a library
 
 - Deprecate `HighlightingAssets::syntaxes()` and `HighlightingAssets::syntax_for_file_name()`. Use `HighlightingAssets::get_syntaxes()` and `HighlightingAssets::get_syntax_for_path()` instead. They return a `Result` which is needed for upcoming lazy-loading work to improve startup performance. They also return which `SyntaxSet` the returned `SyntaxReference` belongs to. See #1747, #1755, #1776, #1862 (@Enselic)
-- Remove `HighlightingAssets::from_files` and `HighlightingAssets::save_to_cache`. Instead of calling the former and then the latter you now make a single call to `bat::assets::build`. See #1802 (@Enselic)
+- Remove `HighlightingAssets::from_files` and `HighlightingAssets::save_to_cache`. Instead of calling the former and then the latter you now make a single call to `bat::assets::build`. See #1802, #1971 (@Enselic)
 - Replace  the `error::Error(error::ErrorKind, _)` struct and enum with an `error::Error` enum. `Error(ErrorKind::UnknownSyntax, _)` becomes `Error::UnknownSyntax`, etc. Also remove the `error::ResultExt` trait. These changes stem from replacing `error-chain` with `thiserror`. See #1820 (@Enselic)
 - Add new `MappingTarget` enum variant `MapExtensionToUnknown`. Refer to its docummentation for more information. Clients are adviced to treat `MapExtensionToUnknown` the same as `MapToUnknown` in exhaustive matches. See #1703 (@cbolgiano)
