-### Maven toolchain declarations with environment variables are now supported
 
-Using [toolchains](userguide/toolchains.html) is the recommended way of specifying Java versions for JVM projects.
-By default, Gradle automatically detects local JRE/JDK installations so no further configuration is required by the user.
-One of the auto-detection formats that Gradle supports is Maven Toolchain specification.
-
-With this Gradle release, if you rely on the integration with Maven toolchain definitions, Gradle now supports the use of environment variables placeholders inside `toolchain.xml` files.
-The placeholder will be resolved by looking at environment variables known to the Gradle build.

-### SSL improvements for non-standard keystores and truststores

-This affected users on Linux systems with FIPS enabled and also Windows users who were storing certificates in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
+## Promoted features
+Promoted features are features that were incubating in previous versions of Gradle but are now supported and subject to backwards compatibility.
+See the User Manual section on the “[Feature Lifecycle](userguide/feature_lifecycle.html)” for more information.
 
-SSL context creation has been improved to be more aligned with the default implementation and to support these cases.
+The following are the features that have been promoted in this Gradle release.
