+        * Add == equality for QPDFObjectHandle. Two QPDFObjectHandle
+        objects are equal if they point to the same underlying object,
+        meaning changes to one will be reflected in the other.
+
         * The --show-encryption option now works even if a correct
         password is not supplied. If you were using --show-encryption to
         test whether you have the right password, use --requires-password

+    - It is now possible to test ``QPDFObjectHandle`` equality with
+      ``==`` and ``!=``. Two ``QPDFObjectHandle`` objects are equal if
+      they point to the same underlying object, meaning changes to one
+      will be reflected in the other.

     - Add new factory method ``QPDF::create()`` that returns a
       ``std::shared_ptr<QPDF>``.
