+## Highlights
+
+### Blog social icons
+
+In [#10222](https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/pull/10222), we added the possibility to associate social links to blog authors, for inline authors declared in front matter or global through the `authors.yml` file.
+
+```yml title="blog/authors.yml"
+slorber:
+  name: Sébastien Lorber
+  # other author properties...
+  # highlight-start
+  socials:
+    x: sebastienlorber
+    linkedin: sebastienlorber
+    github: slorber
+    newsletter: https://thisweekinreact.com
+  # highlight-end
+```
+
+![Author socials screenshot displaying `slorber` author with 4 social platform icons](./img/author-socials.png)
+
+Icons and handle shortcuts are provided for pre-defined platforms `x`, `linkedin`, `github` and `stackoverflow`. It's possible to provide any additional platform entry (like `newsletter` in the example above) with a full URL.
+
+### Blog authors pages
+
+In [#10216](https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/pull/10216), we added the possibility for [global blog authors](/docs/blog#global-authors) (declared in `authors.yml`) to have their own dedicated page listing all the blog posts they contributed to. This feature is opt-in and mostly relevant for multi-author blogs.
+
+```yml title="blog/authors.yml"
+slorber:
+  name: Sébastien Lorber
+  description: 'A freelance React and React-Native developer...'
+  # highlight-next-line
+  page: true # Turns the feature on
+```
+
+![Author page screenshot for  `slorber` global author](./img/author-page.png)
+
+An author index page is also created, listing all the global authors having the feature turned on.
