 Bug Fixes
 ------------------------------
-* `let` should no longer re-evaluate default arguments.
-* Improved error messages for illegal uses of `finally` and `else`.
-* `match` should no longer re-evaluate subect.
-* `hy-repr` now properly formats bracketed strings.
+* In comprehension forms other than `for`, assignments (other than
+  `:setv` and loop clauses) are now always visible in the surrounding
+  scope.
+* `match` now only evaluates the subject once.
+* `let` will no longer re-evaluate the default arguments of a
+  function it's used in.
+* `hy.repr` now properly formats bracket strings.
+* The `repr` and `str` of string models now include `brackets` if
+  necessary.
 * When standard output can't accommodate Unicode, `hy2py` now crashes
   instead of emitting incorrect Python code.
 * Fixed a bug with self-requiring files on Windows.
-* The `repr` and `str` of string models now include `brackets` if
-  necessary.
-* Complex comprehensions are now always treated as inline expressions for
-  variable scoping, rather than creating a new block scope. Specifically,
-  assignments within comprehensions are now always visible to the surrounding code.
+* Improved error messages for illegal uses of `finally` and `else`.
 
 New Features
 ------------------------------
 * `hy.repr` now supports several more standard types.
-* the attribute access macro `.` now accepts method calls.
-* `as_model` checks for self-references in its argument.
-* New function `hy.model_patterns.keepsym`
+* The attribute access macro `.` now allows method calls. For example,
+  `(. x (f a))` is equivalent to `(x.f a)`.
+* `hy.as-model` checks for self-references in its argument.
+* New function `hy.model_patterns.keepsym`.
