 ### Logging Verbosity
 
+pict-rs 0.5 no longer logs the opening and closing of tracing spans. This means the logs will now
+be mostly empty aside from the occasional warning or error. Errors should still provide ample debug
+information, so the decrease in verbosity should not negatively affect debugging of the program.
+
 
 ### Quality Configuration
 
+pict-rs 0.5 now supports configuring the quality and compression of transcoded media. New
+configuration sections have been introduced to allow setting values for each image format
+individually, as well as individual quality settings for different video resolutions.
+
+For the specifics of quality configuration, see the example
+[pict-rs.toml](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml).
+
 
 ### Read-Only Mode
 
+pict-rs 0.5 has gained the ability to run in a "read-only" mode, which will forbid the application
+from accepting new uploaded media, creating new media variants, or updating any metadata. This is
+useful for complex environments that are capable of running a copy of the pict-rs application while
+performing maintenance on the "real" deployment.
+
+For configuration information, see the example
+[pict-rs.toml](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml).
 
 ### Danger-Dummy Mode
 
+pict-rs 0.5 can now run without any external dependencies in "Danger-Dummy Mode." This allows
+uploading and serving media, but all of the metadata for that media will be fake default values, and
+the media cannot be processed in any way. This is not intended for production uses, since generic
+file stores (like directly using object storage) are more tailored for this use case. Instead, this
+is provided to enable applications to perform integration tests with pict-rs without needing to
+reconstruct a valid environment to run the application.
+
+For configuration information, see the example
+[pict-rs.toml](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/branch/main/pict-rs.toml).
