+# QMK Breaking Changes - 2022 May 28 Changelog
+
+## Notable Features :id=notable-features
+
+### Caps Word ([#16588](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/16588)) :id=caps-word
+
+This is a new feature that allows for capslock-like functionality that turns itself off at the end of the word.
+
+For instance, if you wish to type "QMK" without holding shift the entire time, you can either tap both left and right shift, or double-tap shift, to turn on _Caps Word_ -- then type `qmk` (lowercase) without holding shift. Once you hit any key other than `a`--`z`, `0`--`9`, `-`, `_`, delete, or backspace, this will go back to normal typing!
+
+There are other activation mechanisms as well as configurable options like timeout and the like -- see the [Caps Word documentation](feature_caps_word.md) for more information.
+
+### Quantum Painter ([#10174](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/10174)) :id=quantum-painter
+
+QMK has had support for small OLED displays for some time now, but hasn't really gained too much ability to draw to panels other than the SSD1306 or SH1106 panels.
+
+Quantum Painter is a new drawing subsystem available to suitable ARM and RISC-V boards that is capable of drawing to large panel RGB LCDs and RGB OLEDs. It also allows for a lot more flexibility with a larger set of drawing APIs -- lines, rectangles, circles, ellipses, text, images, and even animations.
+
+The QMK CLI has new commands added to be able to generate images and fonts for Quantum Painter to digest -- it's even capable of converting animated gifs for display on screen.
+
+See the [Quantum Painter documentation](quantum_painter.md) for more information on how to set up the displays as well as how to convert images and fonts.
+
+!> Quantum Painter is not supported on AVR due to complexity and size constraints. Boards based on AVR such as ProMicro or Elite-C builds will not be able to leverage Quantum Painter.
+
+### Encoder Mapping ([#13286](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/13286)) :id=encoder-mapping
+
+One of the long-standing complaints with Encoders is that there has been no easy way to configure them in user keymaps. [#13286](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/13286) added support for [Encoder Mapping](feature_encoders.md#encoder-map), which allows users to define encoder functionality in a similar way to their normal keymap.
+
+!> This is not yet supported by QMK Configurator. It is also unlikely to ever be supported by VIA.
+
+## Changes Requiring User Action :id=changes-requiring-user-action
+
+### `RESET` => `QK_BOOT` ([#17037](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/17037)) :id=reset-2-qk_boot
+
+QMK is always in the process of picking up support for new hardware platforms. One of the side-effects for future integrations has shown that QMK's usage of `RESET` as a keycode is causing naming collisions. As a result, [#17037](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/17037) changed usages of `RESET` to the new keycode `QK_BOOT` in the majority of default-like keymaps. At this stage the old keycode is still usable but will likely be removed in the next breaking changes cycle. Users with keymaps containing `RESET` should also move to `QK_BOOT`.
+
+### Sendstring keycode overhaul ([#16941](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/16941)) :id=sendstring-keycodes
+
+Some keycodes used with `SEND_STRING` and its relatives have been deprecated and may have their old keycode usages removed at a later date. The list of [deprecated keycodes](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/ebd402788346aa6e88bde1486b2a835684d40d39/quantum/send_string_keycodes.h#L456-L505) should be consulted to determine if you're using one of the older names (the first identifier after `#define`) -- you should swap to the newer variant (the second identifier on the same line).
+
+### Pillow Installation ([#17133](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/17133)) :id=pillow-install
+
+The merge of Quantum Painter added some new dependencies in the QMK CLI, most notably _Pillow_, which requires some installation in order for the CLI to function. If you've got an existing installation, you'll need to run some commands in order to get things working:
+
+On Windows, if using _QMK MSYS_ or _msys2_, you'll need to run the following command:
+
+```sh
+pacman --needed --noconfirm --disable-download-timeout -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pillow
+python3 -m pip install --upgrade qmk
+```
+
+On macOS:
+
+```sh
+brew update
+brew upgrade qmk/qmk/qmk
+```
+
+On Linux or WSL:
+
+```sh
+python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade qmk
+```
+
+### Updated Keyboard Codebases :id=updated-keyboard-codebases
+
+The following keyboards have had their source moved within QMK:
