     - python mutator modules and custom mutator modules now use the same
       interface and hence the API changed
     - AFL_AUTORESUME will resume execution without the need to specify `-i -`
-    - added experimental power schedule -p mmopt that ignores the runtime of
-      queue entries and gives higher weighting to the last 5 queue entries
-      it is currently experimental and subject to change but preliminary
-      results are good
+    - added experimental power schedules (-p):
+      - mmopt: ignores runtime of queue entries, gives higher weighting to
+               the last 5 queue entries
+      - rare: puts focus on queue entries that hits rare branches, also ignores
+              runtime
   - LTO collision free instrumented added in llvm_mode with afl-clang-lto -
     note that this mode is amazing, but quite some targets won't compile
   - llvm_mode InsTrim mode:

 where *α(i)* is the performance score that AFL uses to compute for the seed input *i*, *β(i)>1* is a constant, *s(i)* is the number of times that seed *i* has been chosen from the queue, *f(i)* is the number of generated inputs that exercise the same path as seed *i*, and *μ* is the average number of generated inputs exercising a path.
