-- The ``ROW_LIMIT`` value to have the maximum number of rows is now -1. ``ROW_LIMIT = 0`` now
-  allows to retrieve an empty table with the output's meta-data [#2954]
+- The ``ROW_LIMIT`` value to have the maximum number of rows is now -1.
+  Use ``ROW_LIMIT = 0`` to retrieve the output's meta-data. [#2954]
 
-- ``ROW_LIMIT`` can now be set at instantiation (ex: ``simbad = Simbad(ROW_LIMIT=10))``) [#2954]
+- ``ROW_LIMIT`` can now be set at instantiation
+  (e.g.: ``simbad = Simbad(ROW_LIMIT=10))``). [#2954]
 
-- ``list_votable_fields`` now return an astropy Table with added fields information instead
-  of a list of strings [#2954]
+- ``list_votable_fields`` now return an astropy Table with added fields
+  information instead of a list of strings. [#2954]
 
-- ``list_votable_fields`` is now queried directly from SIMBAD instead of reading a file
-  in astroquery. This prevents it from being outdated [#2954]
+- ``list_votable_fields`` is now queried directly from SIMBAD instead of reading
+  a file in astroquery. This prevents it from being outdated. [#2954]
 
-- ``get_votable_fields`` now prints the table name and column name instead of just the
-  column name [#2954]
+- ``get_votable_fields`` now prints the table name and column name instead of
+  just the column name. [#2954]
 
-- The ``verbose`` and ``cache`` arguments are removed from all methods as they don't work
-  with the new query interface [#2954]
+- The ``verbose`` and ``cache`` kwargs have been deprecated from all methods
+  as they have no effect with with the new query interface. [#2954]
 
-- ``get_adql`` is replaced by ``get_query_payload`` in ``list_columns`` and ``list_table``.
-  The payload output contains the ADQL under the ``QUERY`` key [#2954]
+- ``get_adql`` is deprecated and replaced by ``get_query_payload`` in
+  ``list_columns`` and ``list_table``.
+  The payload output contains the ADQL under the ``QUERY`` key. [#2954]
 
-- all query methods except ``query_tap`` and ``query_criteria`` now accept a ``criteria``
-  argument to restrict the results with custom criteria [#2954]
+- all query methods except ``query_tap`` and ``query_criteria`` now accept a
+  ``criteria`` argument to restrict the results with custom criteria. [#2954]
 
-- ``query_objects`` outputs now have an additional column ``user_specified_id`` that contains 
-  the requested object's name as typed within astroquery. The ``votable_field`` option
-  ``typed_id`` is removed [#2954]
+- ``query_objects`` outputs now have an additional column ``user_specified_id``
+  containing the objects' name as specified by the user.
+  The ``votable_field`` option ``typed_id`` is removed. [#2954]
 
-- ``query_region`` does not accept ``equinox`` and ``epoch`` anymore, as this functionality
-  is handled by the astropy coordinates SkyCoord object [#2954]
+- The ``equinox`` and ``epoch`` kwargs are deprecated in ``query_region``,
+  use astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord directly instead. [#2954]
 
-- ``query_bibcode`` has a new option ``abstract`` that allows to also retrieve the
-  article's abstract [#2954]
+- ``query_bibcode`` has a new option ``abstract`` that allows to also

+- ``query_bibcode`` output is now in an astropy Table with distinct columns
+  instead of a single one in which all the information was a string. [#2954]
 
-- ``query_criteria`` is now deprecated and should be replaced by either custom TAP queries
-  of the ``criteria`` argument added in the other query methods. A helper method was added
-  ``astroquery.simbad.utils.CriteriaTranslator`` to translate automatically between the sim-script
-  syntax and the TAP/ADQL syntax [#2954]
+- ``query_criteria`` is now deprecated and should be replaced by either custom
