+        <li>Changed NDArray so that some variables that were previously <code>int</code> are
+          now <code>size_t</code>. This allows areaDetector to handle arrays with more elements
+          than an <code>int</code> can represent. This is not backwards compatible with some
+          drivers and plugins, because for example, the <code>dims[]</code> argument to <code>
+            NDArrayPool->alloc()</code> has been changed from <code>int</code> to <code>size_t</code>.
+          All drivers and plugins in areaDetector have been modified to reflect this change,
+          but user-written drivers and plugins may need some minor modifications.</li>
