+==========================
+New feature release in the 0.17.x series.
+
+This release improves handling of datasets where T1w images are not
+the primary modality. It also supports the generation of fsLR meshes
+on the subject surface with the names:
+
+```
+sub-<label>/anat/sub-<label>_hemi-<L|R>_space-fsLR_den-<label>_<surface>.surf.gii
+```
+
+These are useful for plotting CIFTI results on subject anatomy.

+* ENH: Support spatial normalization to alternative modalities (#459)
