 ### Added
 
 - Implementation of `LowerHex`, `UpperHex`, `FromStr`, `From<&[u8; N]>` and `TryFrom<&[u8]>` for `{derive,make}_bytes!`.
 - `ParseHexError` is moved from `dash-num`, superseding `dash_num::ParseHexError`.
 - `serialize::hex::serialize_as` and `serialize::hex::deserialize_as`, to permit caller-defined handling of
   human-readable encoding while sharing common machine-readable encoding.
-- `CompactSize::decode_unbounded`, which decodes a value read as a number rather than a size, such as service flags,
+- `CompactSize::decode_unbounded`, decoding a value read as a number rather than a size, such as service flags,
   without the `MAX_SER_SIZE` range check.
-- `CompactSize::decode_len`, which decodes a length or count prefix range-checked as by `CompactSize::decode` and
+- `CompactSize::decode_len`, decoding a length or count prefix range-checked like `CompactSize::decode` and
   bounded by a caller limit and the remaining input.
 - `Signable`, a trait for consensus types that hold a signature. `Signable::payload` returns the 32-byte digest the
-  key signs, `Signable::set_signature` stores a signature only if it verifies against the supplied key and
-  `Signable::reset_signature` removes it.
-- `CompactSize::decode_as`, with the sealed `CompactUint` trait, for CompactSize-encoded integer fields bounded by both
+  key signs, `Signable::set_signature` stores a signature if it verifies against the supplied key and
+  `Signable::reset_signature` drops the signature.
+- `CompactSize::decode_as`, with the sealed `CompactUint` trait, for `CompactSize`-encoded integer fields bounded by both
   `MAX_SER_SIZE` and their type.
-- `codec::decode_vec`, which reads a CompactSize-prefixed vector and rejects a count above a caller limit before any
+- `codec::decode_vec` reads a CompactSize-prefixed vector and rejects a count above a caller limit before any
   element is decoded or allocated.
 
 ### Changed
 
 - **The minimum supported Rust version is raised from 1.85 to 1.89.**
-- **Decoding a `CompactSize` rejects a value above `MAX_SER_SIZE`.** Callers reading a value as a number rather than a
-  size must switch to `CompactSize::decode_unbounded`.
-- `{derive,make}_bytes!`-defined types serialize as their raw storage bytes for machine-readable formats. JSON and
-  other human-readable formats retain hex in storage order for `fwd` and in reverse storage order for `rev`.
-- `derive_bytes!` emits `From<[u8; N]>` in place of `impl_bytes!`, and `make_sbytes!` emits the implementation itself.
-   Callers of `impl_bytes!` without `derive_bytes!` must now write the conversion manually.
-  - As a result, both `make_bytes!` and `make_sbytes!` carry it with `nocodec` tag and without the `codec` feature and
-    callers that wrote the conversion manually for those configurations must drop it.
-- The `serde` feature no longer implies `codec`. `impl_num!` is available without `codec` and emits its `serde`
-  implementation independently, as does `make_num!`. Callers that relied on `serde` to enable `codec` must enable it
+- **Decoding a `CompactSize` rejects a value above `MAX_SER_SIZE`.** Callers reading a value as a number (instead of a
+  size) must switch to `CompactSize::decode_unbounded`.
+- **Machine-readable formats receive raw bytes in place of hex or strings.** JSON and other human-readable formats are
+  unaffected unless noted.
+  - `{derive,make}_bytes!`-defined types serialize as their raw storage bytes. Human-readable formats retain hex in
+    storage order for `fwd` and in reverse storage order for `rev`.
+  - `serialize::hex` writes raw bytes instead of a hex-encoded string.
+  - `serialize::str_u64` writes a native `u64` to work around number-precision limitations in JSON and is now
+    confined to human-readable formats.
+  - `serialize::utf8_lossy` writes raw bytes, or a string only for human-readable formats and valid UTF-8, and reads
+    back in the same manner so round trips succeed.
+- **The `serde` feature no longer implies `codec`.** `impl_num!` and `make_num!` are available without `codec` and emit
+  their `serde` implementation independently. Callers that relied on `serde` to enable `codec` must enable it
   explicitly.
-- The `zeroize` export is moved from the crate root to `__deps`. Callers must switch to `dash_types::__deps::zeroize`.
-- Types using `derive_bytes!` that implemented `From<&[u8; N]>`, `TryFrom<&[u8]>`, `FromStr`, `LowerHex` or `UpperHex`
-  manually must drop those implementations, as `derive_bytes!` now emits them.
-- `serialize::hex` writes raw bytes for machine-readable formats instead of emitting a hex-encoded string.
+- `bool` decodes any non-zero byte as `true` instead of rejecting bytes above `1`. Encoding still writes `0` or
+  `1`, so a decoded byte above `1` **does not round-trip**.
+- Decoding `Vec<T>`, `String` and script buffers treats length prefixes differently.
+  - A prefix above `MAX_SER_SIZE` is rejected even when enough bytes remain.
+  - A prefix past the remaining input is reported as `DecodeError::Eof` instead of `CompactSizeExceedsLimit`.
+  - `Vec<T>` reserves each batch exactly rather than growing its capacity geometrically past the batch.
+- `derive_bytes!` emits `From<[u8; N]>` in place of `impl_bytes!`. `make_sbytes!` emits the implementation itself.
+  Callers of `impl_bytes!` without `derive_bytes!` must now write the conversion manually.
+  - `make_bytes!` and `make_sbytes!` therefore emit `From<[u8; N]>` even with the `nocodec` tag or without the `codec`
+    feature, where it was previously absent. Callers that wrote the conversion manually for those configurations must
+    drop it.
+  - `derive_bytes!` (and by extension `make_bytes!`) also emits `From<&[u8; N]>`, `TryFrom<&[u8]>`, `FromStr`,
+    `LowerHex` and `UpperHex`, while `make_sbytes!` does not. Types using `derive_bytes!` or `make_bytes!` that
+    implemented them manually must drop those implementations.
 - `serialize::hex::deserialize` returns any `T` built from a byte slice instead of `Vec<u8>`. Callers that relied on
   `Vec<u8>` as the fixed return type must now mention it explicitly.
-- `serialize::str_u64` writes a native `u64` to machine-readable formats. `str_u64` is a workaround for number-precision
-  limitations in JSON and is now contained only for human-readable formats.
-- Decoding `Vec<T>`, `String` and script buffers reports a length prefix past the remaining input as
-  `DecodeError::Eof` rather than as `CompactSizeExceedsLimit`.
-- Decoding `Vec<T>` reserves each batch exactly rather than growing its capacity geometrically past the batch.
-- **`bool` decodes any non-zero byte as `true` instead of rejecting bytes above `1`.** Encoding still writes `0` or
-  `1`, so a decoded byte above `1` does not round-trip.
+- The `zeroize` export is moved from the crate root to `__deps`. Callers must switch to `dash_types::__deps::zeroize`.
 
 ### Removed
 
 - The `codec::Checkable` and `codec::Hashable` compatibility aliases in favour of exports from the crate root.
 
-### Fixed
-
-- Decoding `Vec<T>`, `String` and script buffers rejects a length prefix above `MAX_SER_SIZE` even when enough bytes
-  remain.
-- `serialize::utf8_lossy`'s serializer and deserializer arms were not in sync, writing valid UTF-8 as a string for
-  machine-readable formats but expecting byte buffers when reading, failing round trips. This has since been resolved.
