 - New and improved APIs for inter-task communication:
   :class:`trio.abc.SendChannel`, :class:`trio.abc.ReceiveChannel`, and
   :func:`trio.open_memory_channel` (which replaces ``trio.Queue``). This
-  interface uses separate "send" and "receive" methods, for consistency with
-  other communication interfaces like :class:`~trio.abc.Stream`. Also, the two
-  objects can now be closed individually, making it much easier to gracefully
-  shut down a channel. Also, check out the nifty ``clone`` API to make it easy
-  to manage fan-in scenarios. Also, the API has been written to allow for
-  future channel-like objects that send objects across process boundaries.
-  Also, it supports unbounded buffering if you really need it. Also, help I
-  can't stop writing also. See :ref:`channels` for more details. (`#497
