+* Table views refactoring : new `RsetTableView` and `EntityTableView`, as well as
+  rewritten an enhanced version of `PyValTableView` on the same bases, with logic
+  moved to some column renderers and a layout. Those should be well documented
+  and deprecates former `TableView`, `EntityAttributesTableView` and `CellView`,
   which are however kept for backward compat, with some warnings that may not be
   very clear unfortunatly (you may see your own table view subclass name here,
   which doesn't make the problem that clear). Notice that `_cw.view('table',
   rset, *kwargs)` will be routed to the new `RsetTableView` or to the old
   `TableView` depending on given extra arguments. See #1986413.
 
+* `display_name` don't call .lower() anymore. This may leads to changes in your
+  user interface. Different msgid for upper/lower cases version of entity type
+  names, as this is the only proper way to handle this with some languages.

+  for your instance before to be able to run migration, but then you should be
+  able to upgrade even a pre 3.6 database.
