+
+#### Important changes
+- **A new release type has been added!**
+    * [`nightly`](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/nightly) builds will be made after each push, containing the latest fixes (but also possibly bugs).
+    * When using `--update`/`-U`, a release binary will only update to its current channel (either `stable` or `nightly`).
+    * The `--update-to` option has been added allowing the user more control over program upgrades (or downgrades).
+    * `--update-to` can change the release channel (`stable`, `nightly`) and also upgrade or downgrade to specific tags.
+    * **Usage**: `--update-to CHANNEL`, `--update-to TAG`, `--update-to CHANNEL@TAG`
+- **YouTube throttling fixes!**
