+Changes so far :
+
+Design changes/breakages:
+ - Interfaces no longer spill items of one pattern on other faces
+ - Interfaces now push patterns in round-robin (Interfaces, then sides)
+
+
+
+
+Fixes:
+
+ - Fix gregtech machines appearing with 'unnamed' or 'draconium lens' on the interface terminal on specific situations.
+ - Add memorycard support for fluid interfaces, import/export/storage busses and level emitters ( this fix was upstreamed to AE2 for MC 1.16)
+ - Storage busses now hide/show inaccessible items as configured.
+ - Exclusive Blocking mode for GTCE ( shapes, molds and configured circuits do not block GTCE machines )
+ - Blocking modes default to block on any item in the iventory the entity exposes
+ - Fuzzy includes items that report that they're damageable, but report a maxDamage of 0 ( auto-crafting of basic capacitors -> resonant capacitors is now possible ) <- Broken item implementation.
+
+Performance:
+
+ - Added @talchas fixes for insane channelless AE networks.
+ - Implemented StorageDrawers slotless itemrepository.
+ - Removed CraftedEvent calls (really bad lag with craftweaker versions before CraftTweaker2-1.12-4.1.20.626)
+ - Count items set in interfaces before queuing crafting for them needlessly
+ - Backported b7ca98d ( Avoid copying items on simulated item extraction )
+ - Cache some level emitters functions
+
+QOL:
+
+ - added highlight interface button to interface terminal ("?" button on the left of the interface slots)
+ - Added bar on the interface terminal that search by inputs ( The one on the LEFT, also searchs by interface name )
+ - Shortcut to molecular assemblers with free slots on the terminal interface by @Theisyat
+ - Toggle button on interface terminal to hide full interfaces
+ - JEI "U""R" and "A" (Usages/Recipes/Bookmark) now work on the Crafting Status GUI. ( the one that shows the total items to craft, and whats missing)
+ - Patterns can now be made with items currently showing on JEI. ( This is overriden by Just Enough Energistics. )
+ - Added multiplier buttons to processing pattern gui
+ - Switched crafting terminal JEI search to fuzzy mode. If the recipe uses a damageable item, AE will try to grab it ( damaged tools )
+ - Encoded patterns stack up to 64 ( holding shift and clicking the encode arrow will transfer the encoded pattern to the player inventory)
+ - Encoded patterns can be draggred on the interface terminal.
+ - Storage Monitor and Conversion Monitor now also ccepts fluids
+ - Draggable JEI ghost items (also works on bookmarked items. SHIFT + Click will move the hovered item into the first free target slot)
+  -JEI auto switches between crafting and processing patterns
+
+HOTKEYS:
+
+ - Implemented mousetweaks API. AE2 custom keybinds now work. (Try right clicking and use the scroll-wheel on the terminals)
+ - Holding SHIFT and scrolling UP and DOWN will increase the items set on the configured slots of Interfaces and Pattern Terminal (Processing mode)

-1. Make sure your issue has not already been answered or fixed and you are using the latest version. Also think about whether your issue is a valid one before submitting it.
-    * If it is already possible with vanilla and AE2 itself, the suggestion will be considered invalid.
-    * Asking for a smaller version, more compact version, or more efficient version of something will also be considered invalid.
-2. Go to [the issues page](https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/issues) and click [new issue](https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/issues/new)
-3. Enter your a title of your issue (something that summarizes your issue), and then create a detailed description of the issue.
-    * Do not tag it with something like `[Feature]`, `[Bug]`, or a version.
-    * Restrict it to a single bug or feature, it makes managing them way easier for us.
-    * The following details are required. Also refer to the issue template when creating one.
-        * Forge version
-        * AE2 version
-        * Crash log, when reporting a crash (Please make sure to use [pastebin](http://pastebin.com/))
-            * Never post an excerpt of what you consider important
-            * Always post the full log
-        * Other mods and their version, when reporting an issue between AE and another mod
-            * Also consider updating these before submitting a new issue, it might be already fixed
-        * A detailed description of the bug or feature
-    * To further help in resolving your issues please try to include the follow if applicable:
-        * What was expected?
-        * How to reproduce the problem?
-            * This is usually a great detail and allows us to fix it way faster
-        * Server or Single Player?
-        * Screen shots or Pictures of the problem
-        * Mod Pack using and version?
-            * Keep in mind that some mods might use an outdated version of AE2

-
-## Applied Energistics 2 API
-
-The API for Applied Energistics 2. It is open source to discuss changes, improve documentation, and provide better add-on support in general.
-
-Universal builds obtained [Here](http://ae2.ae-mod.info/Downloads/) should work in a development environment.
-
-### Maven
-
-When compiling against the AE2 API you can use gradle dependencies, just add
-
-    dependencies {
-        compile "appeng:appliedenergistics2:rv_-_____-__:dev"
-    }
-
-or add the compile line to your existing dependencies task to your build.gradle
-
-Where the __ are filled in with the correct version criteria; AE2 is available from the default forge maven so no additional repositories are necessary.
-
-An example string would be `appeng:appliedenergistics2:rv2-alpha-30:dev`
-
-## Applied Energistics 2 Localization
-
-### English Text
-
-`en_US` is included in this repository, fixes to typos are welcome.
-
-### Encoding
-
-Files must be encoded as UTF-8.
-
-### New or updated Translations
-
-The language files are located in `/src/main/resources/assets/appliedenergistics2/lang/` and use the [appropriate locale code](http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Language) as name and `.lang` as extension.
-
-To update an translation edit the corresponding file and improve/correct the existing entry. Or copy any entries from `en_US.lang` for missing translation.
-
-To create a new translation, copy the contents of `en_US.lang`, create a new file with appropriate filename, and translate it to your language.
-
-Please keep in mind that we use [String format](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html) to pass additional data to the text for displaying.
-Therefore you should preserve parts like `%s` or `%1$d%%`, which allows us to replace them with the correct values while you still have the option to change their order for match the rules of grammar.
-This might not be possible for some languages. Should this be the case, please contact us.
-
-### Final Note
-
-If you have have issues localizing something feel free to contact us on IRC, at #AppliedEnergistics on Esper.net
-
-Thanks to everyone helping out to improve localization of AE2.
