+Pre-Release 5.2.0 beta1
+===
+
+* Now built using Python 3.9.7.
+
+* `Update` button is disabled if CQC/Arena is detected.
+
+* Frontier CAPI queries now run in their own thread.  There should be no
+  change in functionality for users.   This affects both EDMarketConnector 
+  (GUI) and EDMC (command-line).
+
+* `File` > `Status` will now use cached CAPI data, rather than causing a fresh
+  query.  **Currently if data has not yet been cached nothing will happen when
+  trying to use this**.
+
+* `File` > `Save Raw Data` also now uses the cached CAPI data, rather than 
+  causing a fresh query.  This will write an empty JSON `{}` if no data is
+  yet available.
+ 
+* New [docs/Licenses/](docs/Licenses/) directory containing all relevant 
+  third-party licenses for the software this application uses.
+
+* `Settings` > `Output` > `File Location` 'Browse' button will now always be
+  available, even if no output options are active.
+
+* The 'no git installed' logging when running from source is now at INFO 
+  level, not ERROR.  This will look less scary.
+
+* EDMarketConnetor command-line arguments have been re-ordered into
+  logical groups for `--help` output.
+
+* Support added for several new EDDN schemas relating to specific Journal 
+  events.  Until the live EDDN server is updated (planned for 2021-10-21) you
+  will see minor error logging when this fails due to 'unknown schema'.
+
+  Schema support added for:
+  - `codexentry/1`
+  - `fssdiscoveryscan/1`
+  - `navbeaconscan/1`
+  - `navroute/1`
+  - `scanbarycentre/1`
+
+Bug Fixes
+---
+
+* A bug preventing `--force-localserver-auth` from working has been fixed.
+  
+* `horizons` and `odyssey` flags should now always be set properly on *all*
+  EDDN messages.  The `horizons` flag was missing from some.
+
+Developers
+---
+
+* New `journal_entry_cqc()` function for plugins to receive journal events
+  *specifically and **only** when the player is in CQC/Arena*.  This allows 
+  for tracking things that happen in CQC/Arena without polluting 
+  `journal_entry()`.  See [PLUGINS.md](PLUGINS.md) for details.
+
+* Command-line argument `--trace-all` to force all possible `--trace-on` to be
+  active.
+
+* Contributing.md has been updated for how to properly use `trace_on()`.
+
+* EDMC.(py,exe) now also makes use of `--trace-on`.
+
+* EDMarketConnector now has `--capi-pretend-down` to act as if the CAPI
+  server is down.
+
+* Killswitches now have support for removing key/values entirely, or forcing
+  the value.  See [docs/Killswitches.md](docs/Killswitches.md) for details.
+
+* `state['Odyssey']` added, set from `LoadGame` journal event.
+
+* You can now test against a different EDDN server using `--eddn-url` 
+  command-line argument.  This needs to be the *full* 'upload' URL, i.e. for
+  the live instance this is `https://eddn.edcd.io:4430/upload/`.
+
+* New command-line argument `--eddn-tracking-ui` to track the EDDN handling 
+  code's idea of the current Journal and Status.json Body(Name|ID).
