 NEW FUNCTIONALITY
 -----------------
 
-- Add support for Visual Studio 2026.
+- 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
 ---------------------------------------
 
-- Switch test framework from using profile to cProfile. profile
-  generates deprecation warnings starting with Python 3.15.
+- List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior
+  wouldn't actually be considered a bug
 
 FIXES
 -----
 
-- Enable membership tests on instances of Literal (non-substituting string).
-
-- In the SequenceTypes tuple used for dynamic type checks, include
-  the dict contents views, exclude the dictionary view itself as it
-  is not an iterable sequence type.
+- List fixes of outright bugs
 
 IMPROVEMENTS
 ------------
 
-- Internal: where the find method on a string was used to determine
-  if a substring is present, use the more readable "in" and "not in".
+- 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
 -------------
 
-- Improve documentation of builder methods and builder objects.
+- 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
+-----------
 
-- Make links clickable in the SetOption and GetOption manpage entries.
+- List visible changes in the way SCons is developed
