     * Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
-      Various globally-declared options removed.  Options are now required
-      to provide a help string and it must comply with the style guide
-      by being one or more sentences with an initial capital and final
-      period.  (Martin Pool)
+      Various globally-declared options have been removed, so plugins
+      that previously said ``takes_options=['message']`` must now
+      construct an Option object and provide appropriate help. Options
+      are now required to provide a help string and it must comply with
+      the style guide by being one or more sentences with an initial
+      capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
