 Milestone 10.0
 --------------
 
-API changes:
-
-* The new Jackson module provides JSON/YAML serialisers for common Corda datatypes. If you have previously been
-  using the JSON support in the standalone web server, please be aware that amounts are now serialised as strings
-  instead of { quantity, token } pairs as before. The old format is still accepted, but new JSON will be produced
-  using strings like "1000.00 USD" when writing. You can use any format supported by ``Amount.parseCurrency``
-  as input.
+.. warning:: Due to incompatibility between older version of IntelliJ and gradle 3.4, you will need to upgrade Intellij to 2017.1 and kotlin-plugin to 1.1.1 in order to run Corda demos in IntelliJ.
+             Also, the Kapt generated model are no longer included in our codebase, please run ``kaptKotlin`` gradle task if you experience problem with ``Model`` class when building in IntelliJ.
+
+* Dependencies changes:
+    * Upgraded Kotlin to v1.1.1.
+    * Upgraded Gradle to v3.4.1.
+    * Upgraded Requery to v1.2.1.
+    * Upgraded H2 to v1.4.194.
+    * Replaced kotlinx-support-jdk8 with kotlin-stdlib-jre8.

+
+    * We have restructured client package in this milestone.
+        * ``CordaClientRPC`` is now in the new ``:client:rpc`` module.
+        * The old ``:client`` module has been broken into ``:client:jfx`` and ``:client:mock``.
+        * We also have a new ``:node-api`` module (package ``net.corda.nodeapi``) which contains the common RPC classes such as ``RPCException`` and ``User``.
 
 * Configuration:
-    * Replace ``artemisPort`` with ``p2pPort`` in Gradle configuration
-    * Replace ``artemisAddress`` with ``p2pAddress`` in node configuration
-    * Added ``rpcAddress`` in node configuration
+    * Replace ``artemisPort`` with ``p2pPort`` in Gradle configuration.
+    * Replace ``artemisAddress`` with ``p2pAddress`` in node configuration.
+    * Added ``rpcAddress`` in node configuration for non-ssl RPC connection.
+
+* Object Serialization:
+    * Pool Kryo instances for efficiency.
+
+* RPC client changes:
+    * Added a non-ssl connector to artemis broker for non-ssl RPC connection.
+      CordaRPCClient can only connect to ``rpcAddress``, please make sure ``rpcAddress`` is configured in the node.
+
+* Vault:
+    * Soft Locking is a new feature implemented in the vault which prevents a node constructing transactions that attempt to use the same input(s) simultaneously.
+    * Such transactions would result in naturally wasted work when the notary rejects them as double spend attempts.
+    * Soft locks are automatically applied to coin selection (eg. cash spending) to ensure that no two transactions attempt to spend the same fungible states.
+
+* Corda Demobench:
+    * DemoBench is a new tool to make configure and launch local Corda nodes easier. A very useful tool to demonstrate to your colleagues the fundamentals of Corda in real-time. It has the following features:
+        * New nodes can be added at the click of a button. Clicking "Add node" creates a new tab that lets you edit the most important configuration properties of the node before launch, such as its legal name and which Cordapps will be loaded.
+        * Each tab contains a terminal emulator, attached to the pty of the node. This lets you see console output.
+        * You can launch an Explorer instance for each node at the click of a button. Credentials are handed to the Explorer so it starts out logged in already.
+        * Some basic statistics are shown about each node, informed via the RPC connection.
+        * Another button launches a database viewer in the system browser.
+        * The configurations of all running nodes can be saved into a single ``.profile`` file that can be reloaded later.
+    * You can download Corda demobench from `here <https://www.corda.net/downloads/>`_
+
+* Improvements:
+    * Added ``--version`` command line flag to print the version of the node.
+    * Flows written in Java can now execute a sub-flow inside ``UntrustworthyData.unwrap``.
+    * Added additional JUnit tests for coin selection by issuer.
+
+* Bug fixes:
+    * ``--logging-level`` command line flag was previously broken, now correctly sets the logging level.
+    * Fixed bug whereby Cash Exit was not taking into account the issuer reference.

 Milestone 10
 ------------
 
+We have delivered the long waited Kotlin 1.1 upgrade in M10! The new features in Kotlin allow us to write even more clean and easy to manage code, which greatly increase our productivity.
+We have also introduced a new demobench and Corda shell to make running and demoing Corda easier for the corda community.
+
 A new interactive **Corda Shell** has been added to the node. The shell lets developers and node administrators
 easily command the node by running flows, RPCs and SQL queries. It also provides a variety of commands to monitor
 the node. The Corda Shell is based on the popular `CRaSH project <http://www.crashub.org/>`_ and new commands can
 be easily added to the node by simply dropping Groovy or Java files into the node's ``shell-commands`` directory.
 We have many enhancements planned over time including SSH access, more commands and better tab completion.
 
-There is a new tool "DemoBench", which makes it easy to configure and launch local Corda nodes. It is a standalone desktop app that can be bundled with its own JRE and packaged as either EXE (Windows), DMG (MacOS) or RPM (Linux-based). It has the following features:
