 ## Summary
 
-<!-- Here goes a general summary of what this release is about -->
+This release ships many small improvements and bug fixes to `Quantity`s. It also depends on [channels](https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-channels-python/) v0.16.0, so users must update the dependency too.
 
 ## Upgrading
 
-<!-- Here goes notes on how to upgrade from previous versions, including deprecations and what they should be replaced with -->
-
-- `Channels` has been upgraded to version 0.16.0, for information on how to upgrade visit https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-channels-python/releases/tag/v0.16.0
+- `Channels` has been upgraded to version 0.16.0, for information on how to upgrade please read the [channels v0.16.0 release notes](visit https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-channels-python/releases/tag/v0.16.0).
 - `Quantity` objects are no longer hashable.  This is because of the pitfalls of hashing `float` values.
 
 ## New Features
 
 - Quantities
 
+  * Add support for the unary negative operator (negation of a quantity).
   * Add `abs()`.
   * Add a `isclose()` method on quantities to compare them to other values of the same type.  Because `Quantity` types are just wrappers around `float`s, direct comparison might not always be desirable.
   * Add `zero()` constructor (which returns a singleton) to easily get a zero value.
   * Add multiplication by `Percentage` types.
   * Add a new quantity class `Frequency` for frequency values.
+  * Add a new quantity class `Temperature` for temperature values.
 
-- `FormulaEngine` arithmetics now supports scalar multiplication with floats and addition with Quantities
-- Add a new method for streaming average temperature values for the battery pool.
+- `FormulaEngine` arithmetics now supports scalar multiplication with `float`s and addition with `Quantity`s.
+- Add a new `temperature` method for streaming average temperature values for the battery pool.
 
 ## Bug Fixes
 
 - Fix formatting issue for `Quantity` objects with zero values.
-- Fix formatting isuse for `Quantity` when the base value is float.inf or float.nan.
+- Fix formatting issue for `Quantity` when the base value fulfills `math.isinf()` or `math.isnan()`.
 - Fix clamping to 100% for the battery pool SoC scaling calculation.
-
-<!-- Here goes notable bug fixes that are worth a special mention or explanation -->
+- Fix indexing for empty `MovingWindow`s (now it properly raises an `IndexError`).
