 * Deploy single-node or multi-node clusters
 * Back up and restore clusters
+* Automate backups with a schedule and retention policies
 * Perform rolling upgrades and update configurations
 
-### New in 1.3.1
-
-* Fix/improve support for resizing KurrentDB clusters, including explicitly handling data safety,
-  minimizing downtime, and allowing the user to cancel a resize operation that is not progressing.
-  See [Updating Replica Count](../operations/modify-deployments.md#updating-replica-count) for details.
-* Support for custom labels and annotations on all child resources (StatefulSets, Pods,
-  LoadBalancers, etc).
-* Allow users to use public certificate authorities like LetsEncrypt without having to manually pass
-  the publicly trusted cert in a secret.
-* Allow manual overrides to the generated ConfigMap that is passed to KurrentDB.  Previously, if a
-  user manually altered the ConfigMap it would get immediately overwritten, whereas now it will
-  "stick" until the next time the KurrentDB resource is updated.
-* Fix a bug affecting the KurrentDBBackup behavior when cluster's fqdnTemplate met certain criteria.
-* Fix and clarified the `credentialsSecretName` behavior in the helm chart.  It is not normally
-  required at all, but in previous versions, it was generating warning events with the default
-  configuration.
-* Add a new `crds.keep` value to the helm chart.  With the default value of `true`, CRDs installed
-  by the helm chart will not be deleted by helm, which offers a layer of protection against
-  accidental data loss.  In earlier versions of the helm chart, or with `crds.keep=false`, a
-  transition from `crds.enabled=true` to `crds.enabled=false` would cause the deletion of the CRDs
-  and all KurrentDB and KurrentDBBackup objects across the cluster.
+### New in 1.4.0
+
+* Support configurable traffic strategies for each of server-server and client-server traffic.  This
+  enables the use of LetsEncrypt certificates without creating Ingresses, for example.  See
+  [Traffic Strategies][ts] for details.
+* Support backup scheduling and retention policies.  There is a new [KurrentDBBackupSchedule][bs]
+  CRD with a CronJob-like syntax.  There are also two mechanisms for configuring retention policies:
+  a `.keep` count on `KurrentDBBackupSchedule`, and a new `.ttl` on `KurrentDBBackup`.
+* Support standalone read-only replicas pointed at a remote cluster.  This enables advanced
+  topologies like a having your quorum nodes in one region and a read-only replica in a distant
+  region.  See [Deploying Standalone Read-Only Replicas][ror] for an example.
+* Support template strings in some extra metadata for child resources of the `KurrentDB` object.
+  This allows, for example, to annotate each of the automatically created LoadBalancers with unique
+  external-dns annotations.  See [KurrentDBExtraMetadataSpec][em] for details.
