+### Important changes
+#### Select2 for select boxes
+This release replaces [Chozen](https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/) with [Select2](https://select2.org/) consistently across the app.
+This may break plugins which rely on Chozen. To fix any issues please
+migrate to Select2 or add Chozen to your plugins.
+
+#### Counter caches
+To improve performance, a number of [counter caches](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html#options-for-belongs-to-counter-cache) have been added.
+
+Users with large amounts of records may find certain [database migrations](https://github.com/fatfreecrm/fat_free_crm/blob/master/db/migrate/20180102075234_add_account_counter_caches.rb) taking a large amount of time, as each record is cached upfront.
