 ### Added
 
--
+-   The user can now specify `datashader_reduction` to control the rendering behaviour (#309)
+-   Rendering outlines of shapes with datashader works now (#309)
 
 ### Changed
 
 -
 
 ### Fixed
 
+-   datashader now uses canvas size = image size which speeds up the rendering (#309)
+-   datashader now uses the `linear` as interpolation method for colormaps instead of the default `eq_hist` to make it equivalent to matplotlib (#309)
+-   point sizes of datashader now agree with matplotlib also when dpi != 100 (#309)
 -   Giving a custom colormap when rendering a multiscale image now works (#586)
