+- [`RandBigInt` now uses `Rng::fill_bytes`][53] to improve performance, instead
+  of repeated `gen::<u32>` calls.  The also affects the implementations of the
+  other `rand` traits.  This may potentially change the values produced by some
+  seeded RNGs on previous versions, but the values were tested to be stable
+  with `ChaChaRng`, `IsaacRng`, and `XorShiftRng`.
+- [`BigInt` and `BigUint` now implement `num_integer::Roots`][56].
+- [`BigInt` and `BigUint` now implement `num_traits::Pow`][54].
+- [`BigInt` and `BigUint` now implement operators with 128-bit integers][64].
