 =====
 
-New features
-------------
-- `HistogramWidget` now shows individual histograms for RGB channels when
-  present.
-
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-- `HistogramWidget` now works properly with 2D images.
+Changes
+-------
+- The scatter widgets no longer use a LogNorm() for 2D histogram scaling.
+  This is to move the widget in line with the philosophy of using Matplotlib default
+  settings throughout ``napari-matplotlib``. This still leaves open the option of
+  adding the option to change the normalization in the future. If this is something
+  you would be interested in please open an issue at https://github.com/matplotlib/napari-matplotlib.
+- Labels plotting with the features scatter widget no longer have underscores
+  replaced with spaces.
