 ## Unreleased
 
-- possibly breaking change:
-  removed `DC_EVENT_ERROR_NETWORK` and `DC_STR_SERVER_RESPONSE`
+### API Changes
+- breaking change: removed `DC_EVENT_ERROR_NETWORK` and `DC_STR_SERVER_RESPONSE`
   Instead, there is a new api `dc_get_connectivity()`
   and `dc_get_connectivity_html()`;
   `DC_EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED` is emitted on changes
 
+- breaking change: removed `dc_accounts_import_account()`
+  Instead you need to add an account and call `dc_imex(DC_IMEX_IMPORT_BACKUP)` on its context
+
+- update account api, 2 new methods:
+  `int dc_all_work_done (dc_context_t* context);`
+  `int dc_accounts_all_work_done (dc_accounts_t* accounts);`
+
+- add api to check if a message was `Auto-Submitted`
+  cffi: `int dc_msg_is_bot (const dc_msg_t* msg);`
+  python: `Message.is_bot()`
+
+- `dc_context_t* dc_accounts_get_selected_account (dc_accounts_t* accounts);` now returns `NULL` if there is no selected account
