+### For distributors and developers
+- fish ships with a new build system based on CMake. CMake 3.2 is the minimum required version. Although the autotools-based Makefile and the Xcode project are still shipped with this release, they will be removed in the near future. All distributors and developers are encouraged to migrate to the CMake build.
+- Build scripts for most platforms no longer require bash, using the standard sh instead.
+- The `hostname` command is no longer required for fish to operate.
