Maybe one of the highlights could be the many performance improvements in the preprocessor that we've worked on.

Another one could be that we have several new preprocessor functions

Here's my 2 pennies:

highlight no. 1: all @bouweandela did
highlight no. 2: all @schlunma did
highlight no. 3: MO is doing the release

😁 🍺

Here is my list of highlights:
#2258 (new preprocessor local_solar_time)
#2299 (new preprocessors histogram and distance_metrics)
#2120 (performance improvement for preprocessor extract_levels)

I support Axel's suggestions.

on a serious note now, I think it's a good idea to mention (somewhere in the first lines of the Changelog) that this is MO's first release - a very cool thing to have, of which we hope to have many more in the future 😁
