 * Disable auto-reversal of dependent variable coordinates when the axis limits
   were previously fixed, and add documentation for this feature (:issue:`300`).
-* Disable auto-removal of gridlines in presence of `pcolor` plots in all matplotlib
-  versions and silence the matplotlib 3.5 deprecation warning (:commit:`ba405ac0`).
-* Apply the :rcraw:`geo.round` setting when instantiating basemap projections
+* Apply the :rcraw:`geo.round` setting when instantiating polar basemap projections
   (previously this was only used for cartopy projections) (:commit:`5f1c67cc`).
 * Change :rcraw:`grid.labelpad` from ``4.0`` to ``3.0`` (:commit:`f95b828a`). This
   makes cartopy grid labels and polar axes labels a bit more compact.
 * Change :rcraw:`legend.handleheight` from ``1.5`` to ``2.0`` for less compressed
   `~matplotlib.patches.Patch` handles (e.g. with error shading) (:commit:`2a5f6b48`).
+* Disable matplotlib's auto-removal of gridlines in presence of `pcolor` plots in all
+  versions and silence the matplotlib 3.5 deprecation warning (:commit:`ba405ac0`).
+  Now gridlines appear on top of pcolor meshes by default, just like filled contours.
 * Change :rcraw:`mathtext.default` from ``'regular'`` to ``'it'`` and change ``'sans'``
   to ``'regular'`` in :rcraw:`mathtext.rm`, :rcraw:`mathtext.sf`, :rcraw:`mathtext.bf`,
   and :rcraw:`mathtext.it` (:commit:`323`). See below for details.

 * Support passing lists for the `proplot.axes.Axes.format` keywords `abc` and `title`,

-* Allow using the `~proplot.constructor.Proj` keyword `latlim` as Mercator projection
-  limits and `lon0`, `lat0` aliases for `lon_0`, `lat_0` (:commit:`5f1c67cc`).
+* Permit disabling a-b-c labels for a particular subplot by passing e.g. ``number=None``
+  instead of ``number=False`` (:commit:`f7308cbe`). ``None`` is a bit more intuitive.
 * Add modifiable `proplot.figure.Figure.tight` property to retrieve and optionally
   toggle the tight layout setting (:commit:`46f46c26`).
 * Add a top-level `~proplot.ui.subplot` command that returns a figure and a single
   subplot, analogous to `~proplot.ui.subplots` (:commit:`8459c24c`).
-* Improve performance of the "tight layout" algorithm in geographic plots by skipping
+* Improve performance of the "tight layout" algorithm in cartopy axes by skipping

 * Permit passing `~proplot.gridspec.GridSpec` instances to
   `~proplot.figure.Figure.add_subplots` to quickly draw a subplot
   inside each gridspec slot in row or column-major order (:commit:`a9ad7429`).
 * Add `~proplot.gridspec.GridSpec.copy` method to re-use the same gridspec geometry
   for multiple figures (re-using an existing gridspec is otherwise not possible)
   (:commit:`8dc7fe3e`, :commit:`be410341`, :commit:`a82a512c`).
+* Permit adding additional outer panels or colorbars (or panels) by calling methods
+  from the panel rather than the main subplot (:commit:`cfaeb177`).
 * Permit adding "filled" colorbars to non-subplots and `length` greater than one
   by implementing with a non-subplot child axes and inset locator (:commit:`9fc94d21`).
