 - `pm.LKJCholeskyCov` now automatically computes and returns the unpacked Cholesky decomposition, the correlations and the standard deviations of the covariance matrix (see [#3881](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/pull/3881)).
 - `pm.Data` container can now be used for index variables, i.e with integer data and not only floats (issue [#3813](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/issues/3813), fixed by [#3925](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/pull/3925)).
 - `pm.Data` container can now be used as input for other random variables (issue [#3842](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/issues/3842), fixed by [#3925](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/pull/3925)).
+- Plots and Stats API sections now link to ArviZ documentation [#3927](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/pull/3927)
 
 ### Maintenance
 - Tuning results no longer leak into sequentially sampled `Metropolis` chains (see #3733 and #3796).
