 Highlights
 
-TODO: add highlights
+-  All statistics preprocessors support the same operators and have a common
+   :ref:`documentation <stat_preprocs>`. In addition, arbitrary keyword arguments
+   for the statistical operation can be directly given to the preprocessor.
+
+-  The output webpage generated by the tool now looks better and provides
+   methods to select and filter the output.
+
+-  Improved computational efficiency:
+
+   -  Automatic rechunking between preprocessor steps to keep the
+      `graph size smaller <https://docs.dask.org/en/latest/best-practices.html#avoid-very-large-graphs>`_
+      and the `chunk size optimal <https://blog.dask.org/2021/11/02/choosing-dask-chunk-sizes>`__.
+   -  Reduce the size of the dask graph created by :func:`esmvalcore.preprocessor.anomalies`.
+   -  Preprocessors :func:`esmvalcore.preprocessor.mask_above_threshold`,
+      :func:`esmvalcore.preprocessor.mask_below_threshold`,
+      :func:`esmvalcore.preprocessor.mask_inside_range`,
+      :func:`esmvalcore.preprocessor.mask_outside_range` are now lazy.
+   -  Lazy coordinates bounds are no longer loaded into memory by the CMOR checks and fixes.
