+
+Histogram
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The semantics of histogram has been modified to fix long-standing issues
+with outliers handling. The main changes concern
+
+#. the definition of the bin edges, now including the rightmost edge, and
+#. the handling of upper outliers, now ignored rather than tallied in the
+   rightmost bin.
+
+The previous behavior is still accessible using `new=False`, but is scheduled
+to be deprecated in the next release (1.3).
