 === Configuration changes in 1.29 ===
+* Default cookie expiration time has been reduced to 30 days. Login cookie expiration time is
+  kept at 180 days.
+* A new configuration variable has been added: $wgCookieSetOnAutoblock. This
+  determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
+  that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
+  will still be blocked.
+* The resetpassword right and associated password reset capture feature has
+  been removed.
 
 === New features in 1.29 ===
+* (T5233) A cookie can now be set when a user is autoblocked, to track that user if
