 ### And Plenty More!
 
-In addition to the four highlighted above, Rocket 0.3 also ships with 26 other
-new features! Be sure to check out the [CHANGELOG] for the complete list.
+In addition to the four highlighted above, Rocket 0.3 also ships with the
+following new features:
+
+  * A [`MsgPack`] type has been added for simple consumption and returning of
+    MessagePack data.
+  * [`Rocket::launch()`] returns launch failures ([`LaunchError`]) for
+    inspection without panicking.
+  * Routes without query parameters now match requests with or without query
+    parameters.
+  * [Default rankings] prefer static paths and routes with query string matches.
+  * A native [`Accept`] header structure was added.
+  * The [`Accept`] request header can be retrieved via [`Request::accept()`].
+  * All active routes can be retrieved via [`Rocket::routes()`].
+  * [`Response::body_string()`] was added to retrieve the response body as a
+    `String`.
+  * [`Response::body_bytes()`] was added to retrieve the response body as a
+    `Vec<u8>`.
+  * [`Response::content_type()`] was added to retrieve the Content-Type header
+    of a response.
+  * Data limits on incoming data are [now
+    configurable](/guide/configuration/#data-limits).
+  * [`Request::limits()`] was added to retrieve incoming data limits.
+  * Responders may dynamically adjust their response based on the incoming
+    request.
+  * [`Request::guard()`] was added for simple retrieval of request guards.
+  * [`Request::route()`] was added to retrieve the active route, if any.
+  * [`&Route`] is now a request guard.
+  * The base mount path of a [`Route`] can be retrieved via `Route::base` or
+    `Route::base()`.
+  * `Config::{development, staging, production}` constructors were added for
+    [`Config`].
+  * [`Config::get_datetime()`] was added to retrieve an extra as a `Datetime`.
+  * Forms can be now parsed _leniently_ via the new [`LenientForm`] data guard.
+  * The `?` operator can now be used with `Outcome`.
+  * Quoted string, array, and table [configuration parameters] can be set via
+    environment variables.
+  * Log coloring is disabled when `stdout` is not a TTY.
+  * [`FromForm`] is implemented for `Option<T: FromForm>`, `Result<T: FromForm,
+    T::Error>`.
+  * The [`NotFound`] responder was added for simple **404** response
+    construction.
