 This is the sixth release of BookKeeper as an Apache Top Level Project!
 
-The 4.5.1 release is a bugfix release which fixes a bunch of issues found from users of 4.5.0.
+The 4.5.1 release is a bugfix release which fixes a bunch of issues reported from users of 4.5.0.
 
 Apache BookKeeper users are encouraged to upgrade to 4.5.1. The technical details of this release are summarized
 below.
 
 ## Highlights
 
-TODO
+- Fix critical bug on Parallel Recovery, see [https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/343](https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/343)
 
-### Dependencies Upgrade
-
-Here is a list of dependencies upgraded in 4.5.0:
-
-- Moved the developement from Java 7 to Java 8.
-- Upgrade Protobuf to `2.6`.
-- Upgrade ZooKeeper from `3.4` to `3.5`.
-- Upgrade Netty to `4.1`.
-- Upgrade Guava to `20.0`.
-- Upgrade SLF4J to `1.7.25`.
-- Upgrade Codahale to `3.1.0`.
-
-### Security
-
-Prior to this release, Apache BookKeeper only supports simple `DIGEST-MD5` type authentication.
-
-With this release of Apache BookKeeper, a number of feature are introduced that can be used, together of separately,
-to secure a BookKeeper cluster.
-
-The following security features are currently supported.
-
-- Authentication of connections to bookies from clients, using either `TLS` or `SASL (Kerberos).
-- Authentication of connections from clients, bookies, autorecovery daemons to `ZooKeeper`, when using zookeeper
-    based ledger managers.
-- Encryption of data transferred between bookies and clients, between bookies and autorecovery daemons using `TLS`.
-
-It's worth noting that those security features are optional - non-secured clusters are supported, as well as a mix
-of authenticated, unauthenticated, encrypted and non-encrypted clients.
-
-For more details, have a look at [BookKeeper Security](../../security/overview).
-
-### Public API
-
-There are multiple new client features introduced in 4.5.0.
-
-#### LedgerHandleAdv
-
-The [Ledger API] is the low level API provides by BookKeeper for interacting with `ledgers` in a bookkeeper cluster.
-It is simple but not flexible on ledger id or entry id generation. Apache BookKeeper introduces `LedgerHandleAdv`
-as an extension of existing `LedgerHandle` for advanced usage. The new `LedgerHandleAdv` allows applications providing
-its own `ledger-id` and assigning `entry-id` on adding entries.
-
-See [Ledger Advanced API](../../api/ledger-adv-api) for more details.
-
-#### Long Poll
-
-`Long Poll` is a main feature that [DistributedLog](https://distributedlog.io) uses to achieve low-latency tailing.
-This big feature has been merged back in 4.5.0 and available to BookKeeper users.
-
-This feature includes two main changes, one is `LastAddConfirmed` piggyback, while the other one is a new `long poll` read API.
-
-The first change piggyback the latest `LastAddConfirm` along with the read response, so your `LastAddConfirmed` will be automatically advanced
-when your read traffic continues. It significantly reduces the traffic to explicitly polling `LastAddConfirmed` and hence reduces the end-to-end latency.
-
-The second change provides a new `long poll` read API, allowing tailing-reads without polling `LastAddConfirmed` everytime after readers exhaust known entries.
-Although `long poll` API brings great latency improvements on tailing reads, it is still a very low-level primitive.
-It is still recommended to use high level API (e.g. [DistributedLog API](../../api/distributedlog-api)) for tailing and streaming use cases.
-
-See [Streaming Reads](https://distributedlog.incubator.apache.org/docs/latest/user_guide/design/main.html#streaming-reads) for more details.
-
-#### Explicit LAC
-
-Prior to 4.5.0, the `LAC` is only advanced when subsequent entries are added. If there is no subsequent entries added,
-the last entry written will not be visible to readers until the ledger is closed. High-level client (e.g. DistributedLog) or applications
-has to work around this by writing some sort of `control records` to advance `LAC`.
-
-In 4.5.0, a new `explicit lac` feature is introduced to periodically advance `LAC` if there are not subsequent entries added. This feature
-can be enabled by setting `explicitLacInterval` to a positive value.
-
-### Performance
-
-There are a lot for performance related bug fixes and improvements in 4.5.0. These changes includes:
-
-- Upgraded netty from 3.x to 4.x to leverage buffer pooling and reduce memory copies.
-- Moved developement from Java 7 to Java 8 to take advantage of Java 8 features.
-- A lot of improvements around scheduling and threading on `bookies`.
-- Delay ensemble change to improve tail latency.
-- Parallel ledger recovery to improve the recovery speed.
-- ...
-
-We outlined following four changes as below. For a complete list of performance improvements, please checkout the `full list of changes` at the end.
+- Fix critical bug on Prometheus stats provider, see [https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/535](https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/pull/535)
 
-#### Netty 4 Upgrade
+- Fix critical bug ledger length for LedgerHandleAdv, see [https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/683](https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/683)
 
-The major performance improvement introduced in 4.5.0, is upgrading netty from 3.x to [4.x](http://netty.io/wiki/new-and-noteworthy-in-4.0.html).
+- Fix critical bug on RackAwarePolicy, see [https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/551](https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues/551)
 
-For more details, please read [upgrade guide](../../admin/upgrade) about the netty related tips when upgrading bookkeeper from 4.4.0 to 4.5.0.
-
-#### Delay Ensemble Change
-
-`Ensemble Change` is a feature that Apache BookKeeper uses to achieve high availability. However it is an expensive metadata operation.
-Especially when Apache BookKeeper is deployed in a multiple data-centers environment, losing a data center will cause churn of metadata
-operations due to ensemble changes. `Delay Ensemble Change` is introduced in 4.5.0 to overcome this problem. Enabling this feature means
-an `Ensemble Change` will only occur when clients can't receive enough valid responses to satisfy `ack-quorum` constraint. This feature
-improves the tail latency.
-
-To enable this feature, please set `delayEnsembleChange` to `true` on your clients.
-
-#### Parallel Ledger Recovery
-
-BookKeeper clients recovers entries one-by-one during ledger recovery. If a ledger has very large volumn of traffic, it will have
-large number of entries to recover when client failures occur. BookKeeper introduces `parallel ledger recovery` in 4.5.0 to allow
-batch recovery to improve ledger recovery speed.
-
-To enable this feature, please set `enableParallelRecoveryRead` to `true` on your clients. You can also set `recoveryReadBatchSize`
-to control the batch size of recovery read.
-
-#### Multiple Journals
-
-Prior to 4.5.0, bookies are only allowed to configure one journal device. If you want to have high write bandwidth, you can raid multiple
-disks into one device and mount that device for jouranl directory. However because there is only one journal thread, this approach doesn't
-actually improve the write bandwidth.
-
-BookKeeper introduces multiple journal directories support in 4.5.0. Users can configure multiple devices for journal directories.
-
-To enable this feature, please use `journalDirectories` rather than `journalDirectory`.
-
-### Operations
-
-#### LongHierarchicalLedgerManager
-
-Apache BookKeeper supports pluggable metadata store. By default, it uses Apache ZooKeeper as its metadata store. Among the zookeeper-based
-ledger manager implementations, `HierarchicalLedgerManager` is the most popular and widely adopted ledger manager. However it has a major
-limitation, which it assumes `ledger-id` is a 32-bits integer. It limits the number of ledgers to `2^32`.
-
-`LongHierarchicalLedgerManager` is introduced to overcome this limitation.
-
-See [Ledger Manager](../../getting-started/concepts/#ledger-manager) for more details.
-
-#### Weight-based placement policy
-
-`Rack-Aware` and `Region-Aware` placement polices are the two available placement policies in BookKeeper client. It places ensembles based
-on users' configured network topology. However they both assume that all nodes are equal. `weight-based` placement is introduced in 4.5.0 to
-improve the existing placement polices. `weight-based` placement was not built as separated polices. It is built in the existing placement policies.
-If you are using `Rack-Aware` or `Region-Aware`, you can simply enable `weight-based` placement by setting `diskWeightBasedPlacementEnabled` to `true`.
-
-#### Customized Ledger Metadata
-
-A `Map<String, byte[]>` is introduced in ledger metadata in 4.5.0. Clients now are allowed to pass in a key/value map when creating ledgers.
-This customized ledger metadata can be later on used by user defined placement policy. This extends the flexibility of bookkeeper API.
-
-#### Add Prometheus stats provider
-
-A new [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) [stats provider](https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/tree/master/bookkeeper-stats-providers/prometheus-metrics-provider)
-is introduce in 4.5.0. It simplies the metric collection when running bookkeeper on [kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/).
-
-#### Add more tools in BookieShell
-
-`BookieShell` is the tool provided by Apache BooKeeper to operate clusters. There are multiple importants tools introduced in 4.5.0, for example, `decommissionbookie`,
-`expandstorage`, `lostbookierecoverydelay`, `triggeraudit`.
+### Dependencies Upgrade
 
-For the complete list of commands in `BookieShell`, please read [BookKeeper CLI tool reference](../../reference/cli).
+There is no dependency upgrade since 4.5.0.
