+- Dropped support for Python 3.8
+  (as `#698 <https://github.com/agronholm/anyio/issues/698>`_) cannot be resolved
+  without cancel message support)
+- Fixed 100% CPU use on asyncio while waiting for an exiting task group to finish while
+  said task group is within a cancelled cancel scope
+  (`#695 <https://github.com/agronholm/anyio/issues/695>`_)
+- Fixed cancel scopes on asyncio not reraising ``CancelledError`` on exit while the
+  enclosing cancel scope has been effectively cancelled
+  (`#698 <https://github.com/agronholm/anyio/issues/698>`_)
+- Fixed asyncio task groups not yielding control to the event loop at exit if there were
+  no child tasks to wait on
+- Fixed inconsistent task uncancellation with asyncio cancel scopes belonging to a
+  task group when said task group has child tasks running
+
 **4.5.0**
