several minutes faster and generating them takes gigabytes less
memory.
+== New installation and start-up system -- `pip` and !IronPython are
supported ==
+
+*TODO*. See issue 480 and issue 885.
+
+== Library documentation tool `libdoc` is bundled with core framework ==
+
+`libdoc` is a tool for creating documentation for Robot Framework test
+libraries and resource files. Previously it has been available as a
+[LibraryDocumentationTool separate script], but nowadays it is a
+build-in tool. It is included in the normal installation and can be
+executed like `python -m robot.libdoc` (issue 1028). It also has its
+own entry point in the stand-alone JAR distribution and that allows
+executing `java -jar robotframework.jar libdoc` (issue 800).
+
+The command line usage of the tool has changed a little, but updating
+existing scripts that use the tool ought to be easy. Most importantly
+the documentation syntax itself has not been changed, except that it
+now supports also pre-formatted text (issue 447). Run `python -m
+robot.libdoc --help` for usage and see [UserGuide User Guide] for more
+information about the documentation syntax.
+
+== New built-in tool `tidy` for cleaning up data and changing data format
==
+
+`tidy` is a new tool for cleaning up test data and changing test data
+format between plain text, HTML and TSV. (issue 801). Similarly as
+`libdoc` it is a built-in tool included in the normal installation. It
+can be executed like `python -m robot.tidy` and it also has an entry
+point in the JAR distribution.
+
+== Several `--RemoveKeywords` enhancements ==
+
+`--RemoveKeywords` command line option allows removing unnecessary
+keywords from outputs to make their size smaller. It has been enhanced
+multiple ways in RF 2.7 and nowadays it
+
+ * works also when executing tests and not only with `rebot` (issue 1027),
+ * can remove keywords inside for loops (issue 990),
+ * can remove keywords inside `Wait Until Keyword Succeeds` keyword
(issue 1007), and
+ * adds a message when it has removed keywords (issue 1008).
