+Here is a summary of the changes since 4.5.1:
+
+NEW FUNCTIONALITY
+-----------------
+
+- List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released)
+
+DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
+------------------------
+
+- List anything that's been deprecated since the last release
+
+CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
+---------------------------------------
+
+- List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior
+  wouldn't actually be considered a bug
 
 FIXES
 -----
 
-- Fix a problem in 4.5.0 where using something like the following code
-  will cause a Clone()'d environment to share the CPPDEFINES with the
-  original Environment() which was cloned. Causing leakage of changes
-  to CPPDEFINES when they should be completely independent after the Clone.
-      env=Environment(CPPDEFINES=['a'])
-      env.Append(CPPDEFINES=['b']) (or AppendUnique,Prepend,PrependUnique)
-      env1=env.Clone()
-      env1.Append(CPPDEFINES=['c']) (or any other modification, but not overwriting CPPDEFINES)
-  Now env['CPPDEFINES'] will contain 'c' when it should not.
+- List fixes of outright bugs
+
+IMPROVEMENTS
+------------
+
+- List improvements that wouldn't be visible to the user in the
+  documentation:  performance improvements (describe the circumstances
+  under which they would be observed), or major code cleanups
+
+PACKAGING
+---------
+
+- List changes in the way SCons is packaged and/or released
 
+DOCUMENTATION
+-------------
+
+- List any significant changes to the documentation (not individual
+  typo fixes, even if they're mentioned in src/CHANGES.txt to give
+  the contributor credit)
+
+DEVELOPMENT
+-----------
+
+- List visible changes in the way SCons is developed
