+  * gstlal_ll_inspiral_pipe: allow aggregators to be load-balanced, scale
+    based on number of jobs they process
+  * lloidhandler.py: change how kafka topics/partitions are arranged, remove
+   data decimation for kafka topics
+  * gstlal_inspiral_compress_ranking_stat: added option to remove large
+    deviations in horizon history.
+  * p_astro_gstlal.py changes
+  * lloidhandler: truncate ranking data even more since we are still causing
+    gracedb problems with the new analysis
