 ----------------
 
 ### v1.16.7 "Edgy Guinea Pig"
+* FEATURE: The `@Builder` annotation has received many updates: It now generates `clearFieldName()` methods if `@Singular` is used, ..... [Issue #967](https://github.com/rzwitserloot/lombok/issues/967).
 * FEATURE: A `lombok.config` key can now be used to make your fields `final` and/or `private`... __everywhere__. We'll be monitoring the performance impact of this for a while. We'll touch every source file if you turn these on, and even if you don't, we have to call into the lombok config system for every file.
 * BUGFIX: `@Value` and `@FieldDefaults` no longer make uninitialized static fields final. [Issue #928](https://github.com/rzwitserloot/lombok/issues/928).
 * BUGFIX: When using delombok, a source file with only `@NonNull` annotations on parameters as lombok feature would not get properly delomboked.  [Issue #950](https://github.com/rzwitserloot/lombok/issues/950).

 				By annotating one of the parameters (if annotating a static method or constructor with <code>@Builder</code>) or fields (if annotating a class with <code>@Builder</code>) with the
 				<code>@Singular</code> annotation, lombok will treat that builder node as a collection, and it generates 2 'adder' methods instead of a 'setter' method. One which adds a single element to the collection, and one
