+### Ginkgo output now includes a timeline-view of the spec
+
+This commit changes Ginkgo's default output.  Spec details are now
+presented as a **timeline** that includes events that occur during the spec
+lifecycle interleaved with any GinkgoWriter content.  This makes is much easier
+to understand the flow of a spec and where a given failure occurs.
+
+The --progress, --slow-spec-threshold, --always-emit-ginkgo-writer flags
+and the SuppressProgressReporting decorator have all been deprecated.  Instead
+the existing -v and -vv flags better capture the level of verbosity to display.  However,
+a new --show-node-events flag is added to include node `> Enter` and `< Exit` events
+in the spec timeline.
+
+In addition, JUnit reports now include the timeline (rendered with -vv) and custom JUnit
+reports can be configured and generated using
+`GenerateJUnitReportWithConfig(report types.Report, dst string, config JunitReportConfig)`
+
+Code should continue to work unchanged with this version of Ginkgo - however if you have tooling that
+was relying on the specific output format of Ginkgo you _may_ run into issues.  Ginkgo's console output is not guaranteed to be stable for tooling and automation purposes.  You should, instead, use Ginkgo's JSON format
+to build tooling on top of as it has stronger guarantees to be stable from version to version.

 Ginkgo is a mature testing framework for Go designed to help you write expressive specs.  Ginkgo builds on top of Go's `testing` foundation and is complemented by the [Gomega](https://github.com/onsi/gomega) matcher library.  Together, Ginkgo and Gomega let you express the intent behind your specs clearly:

 Whether writing basic unit specs, complex integration specs, or even performance specs - Ginkgo gives you an expressive Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that will be familiar to users coming from frameworks such as [Quick](https://github.com/Quick/Quick), [RSpec](https://rspec.info), [Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io), and [Busted](https://lunarmodules.github.io/busted/).  This style of testing is sometimes referred to as "Behavior-Driven Development" (BDD) though Ginkgo's utility extends beyond acceptance-level testing.

+By following [established patterns for writing parallel specs](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#patterns-for-parallel-integration-specs) you can build even large, complex integration suites that parallelize cleanly and run performantly.  And you don't have to worry about your spec suite hanging or leaving a mess behind - Ginkgo provides a per-node `context.Context` and the capability to interrupt the spec after a set period of time - and then clean up.
 
 As your suites grow Ginkgo helps you keep your specs organized with [labels](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#spec-labels) and lets you easily run [subsets of specs](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#filtering-specs), either [programmatically](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#focused-specs) or on the [command line](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#combining-filters).  And Ginkgo's reporting infrastructure generates machine-readable output in a [variety of formats](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#generating-machine-readable-reports) _and_ allows you to build your own [custom reporting infrastructure](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#generating-reports-programmatically).
