 IMPORTANT: the next major release of sshyp, v1.5.0, will make breaking changes that will require
 running through 'sshyp tweak' again - also starting with v1.5.0, a copy of the changelog will no
 longer be packaged with sshyp (it will still be available on GitHub) and clipboard tools
 (x-clip and wl-clipboard) will be set to optional dependencies ('sshyp tweak' will warn of this)
 
-this release makes use of a new ports framework to make sshyp even smaller and faster than before
+this is a highly unconventional release featuring backports to fix critical bugs found during the
+development of the upcoming v1.5.0
 
-user-facing features:
+fixes:
 
-- full WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) support
-- partial MacOS support
-    ^ fully functional; packaging support has not yet been added
-- dedicated help screen for 'gen'
-    ^ this was previously not included due to 'sshyp gen' being a valid command prior to v1.4.0
-- removed interactive input for whitelist management
-    ^ this is to be consistent with the removal of interactive input on clients in v1.4.0
-
-fixes/optimizations:
-
-- leading and following spaces are no longer stripped when printing entry contents
-- properly display an error when trying to remove a device from the whitelist that is not whitelisted
-- ports framework to remove unneeded code for each platform
-    ^ BLANKS.py removes all blank lines
-    ^ CLIPBOARD.py removes non-platform-critical clipboard code
-    ^ COMMENTS.py removes all comments
-    ^ RMSERVER.py removes server-only code for creating client-only packages
-        ^ the Haiku package, which was already unsupported as a server, now only includes client code
-    ^ SHEBANG.sh sets the shebang to what is required by the platform
-    ^ TABS.sh converts all groups of spaces to tabs for space efficiency
-    ^ UNAME.py removes all instances of platform detection and leaves only the platform-required code
-    ^ THESE SCRIPTS ARE ONLY USED FOR PACKAGING AND DO NOT AFFECT THE SOURCE FILES IN THE GIT REPO
+- folder renaming has been disabled to prevent a severe data loss bug from occuring
+    ^ this has been properly fixed for v1.5.0, but the fix requires all clients and servers
+    to be updated - to avoid breaking compatibility with 1.4.X, folder renaming was simply disabled
+    for the time being
+- backported fix for syncing over IPv6
+- backported fix for multiple versions of Powershell being called under WSL
