 Changes from Hy 0.9.11
 
-    [ Misc. Fixes ]
+   tl;dr:
-    [ Syntax Fixes ]
+
+    0.9.12 comes with some massive changes,
+    We finally took the time to implement gensym, as well as a few
+    other bits that help macro writing. Check the changelog for
+    what exactly was added. 
+    
+    The biggest feature, Reader Macros, landed later
+    in the cycle, but were big enough to warrent a release on it's
+    own. A huge thanks goes to Foxboron for implementing them
+    and a massive hug goes out to olasd for providing ongoing
+    reviews during the development.
+    
+    Welcome to the new Hy contributors, Henrique Carvalho Alves
+    an Kenan Bölükbaşı. Thanks for your work so far, folks!
+    
+     Hope y'all enjoy the finest that 2013 has to offer,
+       - Hy Society
