 Features
 ========
 
-* BER/CER/DER decoding, DER encoding
+* BER/CER/DER decoding, strict DER validation, DER/CER encoding
 * Basic ASN.1 data types (X.208): BOOLEAN, INTEGER, BIT STRING, OCTET
   STRING, NULL, OBJECT IDENTIFIER, ENUMERATED, all strings, UTCTime,
   GeneralizedTime, CHOICE, ANY, SEQUENCE (OF), SET (OF)
 * Size :ref:`constraints <bounds>` checking
 * Working with sequences as high level data objects with ability to
   (un)marshall them
-* Python 2.7/3.5/3.6 compatibility
+* Python 3.5+ compatibility (2.7 dropped in version 9.0)
 * Aimed to be complaint with `X.690-201508 <https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.690-201508-I/en>`__
+* Streaming decoding and encoding capabilities, allowing working with
+  very small memory footprint

+* Ability to use mmap-ed files, memoryviews, iterators, 2-pass DER
+  encoding mode and CER encoder dealing with the writer, giving ability

+* Ability to decode files in event generation mode, without the need to
