 For sandbox-based feature extractors, we are using Pydantic models. Contributions of more models for other sandboxes
 are very welcome!
 
+With this release we've reorganized the logic found in `main()` to localize logic and ease readability and ease changes
+and integrations. The new "main routines" are expected to be used only within main functions, either capa main or
+related scripts. These functions should not be invoked from library code.
+
+Beyond copying code around, we've refined the handling of the input file/format/backend. The logic for picking the
+format and backend is more consistent. We've documented that the input file is not necessarily the sample itself
+(cape/freeze/etc.) inputs are not actually the sample.
