+New Features and Improvements:
+   - Made find_min_global() and find_max_global() much faster when using them
+     to optimize inexpensive functions.  These tools now measure the runtime of
+     the objective function and automatically tune themselves to balance solver
+     overhead vs objective function execution time.
+   - Improved handling of label and ignore boxes in loss_mmod layer.
+     See here for more details: https://github.com/davisking/dlib/issues/1894
+   - Better auto-detection of build configurations on some platforms.
+   - Shiny new deep instance segmentation examples:
+     dnn_instance_segmentation_ex.cpp and dnn_instance_segmentation_train_ex.cpp.  
+
+Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
+
+Bug fixes:
+   - Fix build error in some versions of visual studio in some setups.
+   - Fix find_max() going into an infinite loop in some cases when a
+     non-differentiable function is given.
