 - Trainers can control whether collectors should be reset prior to training. #1063
 - Convenience constructor for `CollectStats` called `with_autogenerated_stats`. #1063
 - `SamplingConfig` supports `batch_size=None`. #1077
-- Batch received new method: `to_numpy_`. #1098
+- Batch received new methods: `to_numpy_` and `to_torch_`. #1098, #1117
 - `to_dict` in Batch supports also non-recursive conversion. #1098
-- Batch __eq__ now implemented, semantic equality check of batches is now possible. #1098
+- Batch `__eq__` implemented, semantic equality check of batches is now possible. #1098
+- `Batch.keys()` deprecated in favor of `Batch.get_keys()` (needed to make iteration consistent with naming) #1105.
+-  `Experiment` and  `ExperimentConfig` now have a `name`, that can however be overridden when `Experiment.run()` is called. #1074
+- When building an `Experiment` from an `ExperimentConfig`, the user has the option to add info about seeds to the name. #1074
+- New method in `ExperimentConfig` called `build_default_seeded_experiments`. #1074
+- `SamplingConfig` has an explicit training seed, `test_seed` is inferred. #1074
+- New `evaluation` package for repeating the same experiment with multiple seeds and aggregating the results (important extension!). 
+Launchers for parallelization currently in alpha state. #1074
+- Loggers can now restore the logged data into python by using the new `restore_logged_data` method. #1074
 
 ### Internal Improvements
 - `Collector`s rely less on state, the few stateful things are stored explicitly instead of through a `.data` attribute. #1063
@@ -26,6 +34,7 @@ instead of just `nn.Module`. #1032
 - Exception no longer raised on `len` of empty `Batch`. #1084
 - tests and examples are covered by `mypy`. #1077
 - `NetBase` is more used, stricter typing by making it generic. #1077
+- Use explicit multiprocessing context for creating `Pipe` in `subproc.py`. #1102
 
 ### Breaking Changes
 
@@ -37,10 +46,19 @@ expicitly or pass `reset_before_collect=True` . #1063
 - Changed interface of `dist_fn` in `PGPolicy` and all subclasses to take a single argument in both
 continuous and discrete cases. #1032
 - `utils.net.common.Recurrent` now receives and returns a `RecurrentStateBatch` instead of a dict. #1077
-- The method `to_numpy` in `data.utils.batch.Batch` is not in-place anymore. Instead, a new method `to_numpy_` does the conversion in-place. #1098
+- The methods `to_numpy` and `to_torch` in `Batch` is not in-place anymore (use `to_numpy_` or `to_torch_` instead). #1098, #1117
+- `AtariEnvFactory` constructor (in examples, so not really breaking) now requires explicit train and test seeds. #1074
+- `EnvFactoryRegistered` now requires an explicit `test_seed` in the constructor. #1074
+- `BaseLogger.prepare_dict_for_logging` is now abstract. #1074
+- Removed deprecated and unused `BasicLogger` (only affects users who subclassed it). #1074

 ### Tests

+- Fixed env seeding it `test_sac_with_il.py` so that the test doesn't fail randomly. #1081

+- [DeepDiff](https://github.com/seperman/deepdiff) added to help with diffs of batches in tests. #1098
+- Bumped black, idna, pillow
+- New extra "eval"
