   IMPROVEMENTS:
 
+    * ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
+      history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
+      revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
+
     * ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.

       ``bzrlib.revision``  deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
       (Robert Collins)
 
+    * ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
+      ``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
+      the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
+      don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)

     * The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
       ``base`` parameter.  ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
       to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method.  (Andrew Bennetts)
