+Most important enhancements
+===========================
+
+Take Screenshot can not overwrite existing filename if it does not have {index} (`#4485`_)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Fixed an issue where Take Screenshot could not overwrite an existing filename if it did not have
+{index} marker in it. Now it correctly overwrites the file as intended.
+
+Acknowledgements
+================
+
+Make logger initialization lazy to avoid permission errors (`#4491`_)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+Fixed an issue where rfbrowser command line tool could cause permission errors
+when it was run in a folder where user did not have write permissions. Now the
+logger initialization is lazy and it does not try to create log file until it is
+actually needed.
+
+Many thanks for David Sommers for reporting the issue and suggesting a fix!
