-    * Fix a false positive with string formatting checker, when
-      encountering a string which uses only position-based arguments.
-      Closes issue #285.
+    * 'dangerous-default-value' no longer evaluates the value of the arguments,
+      which could result in long error messages or sensitive data being leaked.
+      Closes issue #282
