 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 * The general ``xclim`` description and ReadMe have been updated to reflect recent enhancements. (:issue:`1185`, :pull:`1209`).
 * Documentation now supports intersphinx mapping references within code examples via `sphinx-codeautolink` and copying of code blocks via `sphinx-copybutton`. (:pull:`1182`).
-* Log-logistic distribution added to `stats.py` for use with `standardized_precipitation_index` and `standardized_precipitation_evapotranspiration_index` (:issue:`1141`, :pull:`1183`).
-* New option in many indices allowing for resampling in given periods after `run_length` operations. (:issue:`505`, :issue:`916`, :issue:`917`, :pull:`1161`).
-* New base indicator class for sdba: ``StatisticalPropertyMeasure``, those measures that also reduce the time (as a property does) (:pull:`1198`).

 * ``xclim.core.calendar.common_calendar`` to find the best calendar to use when uniformizing an heterogeneous collection of data. (:pull:`1217`).
 * ``xclim.ensembles.create_ensemble`` now accepts ``calendar=None``, and uses the above function to guess the best one. It also now accepts ``cal_kwargs`` to fine tune the calendar conversion. (:issue:`1190`, :pull:`1217`).
 * New data check : ``xclim.core.datachecks.check_common_time`` that ensures all inputs of multivariate indicators have the same frequency (and the same time anchoring for daily and hourly data). (:issue:`1111`, :pull:`1217`).
@@ -50,7 +50,7 @@ Bug fixes
 ^^^^^^^^^
 * The docstring of ``cool_night_index`` suggested that `lat` was an optional parameter. This has been corrected. (:issue:`1179`, :pull:`1180`).
 * The ``mean_radiant_temperature`` indice was accessing hardcoded `lat` and `lon` coordinates from passed DataArrays. This now uses `cf-xarray` accessors. (:pull:`1180`).
-* Adopt (and adapt) unit registry declaration and preprocessors from ``cf-xarray`` to circumvent bugs caused by a refactor in ``pint`` 0.20. It also cleans the code a little bit. (:issue:`1211`, :pull:`1212`).
