+## Improvements
+
+* Fine-tune the symbol to ANSI and Unicode converter for faster, safer, and
+  more robust conversion (thanks, @yihui, #217).
+* Use code to generate the Unicode/LaTeX mapping table, to replace the previous
+  `R/sysdata.rda` solution. Now the mapping table is directly accessible
+  via `r2rtf:::unicode_latex` (thanks, @yihui, #218).
