+New functions and others changes in scipy.linalg
+------------------------------------------------
+The functions `circulant`, `hadamard` and `cho_solve_banded` were added
+to `scipy.linalg`.
 
 The function `block_diag` was enhanced to accept scalar and 1D arguments,
 along with the usual 2D arguments.
 
+The function `solveh_banded` no longer returns the Cholesky factorization.  It
+returns just the solution.

 ARPACK-based sparse SVD
