 ### Changed
 
-*   If no log dir is specified `logging.find_log_dir()` now falls back to `tempfile.gettempdir()` instead of `/tmp/`.
+*   (logging) If no log dir is specified `logging.find_log_dir()` now falls back
+    to `tempfile.gettempdir()` instead of `/tmp/`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+*   (flags) Additional kwargs (e.g. `short_name=`) to `DEFINE_multi_enum_class`
+    are now correctly passed to the underlying `Flag` object.
