 Deprecations and removed features
 ---------------------------------
-- Support for the terminfo database has been removed entirely, and its associated ``ignore-terminfo`` feature flag, introduced and enabled by default in fish 4.1, has been made read-only. This means fish no longer depends on the "ncurses" or "terminfo" package.
+- fish no longer reads the terminfo database to alter behaviour based on the :envvar:`TERM` environment variable, and does not depend on ncurses or terminfo. The ``ignore-terminfo`` feature flag, introduced and enabled by default in fish 4.1, is now permanently enabled. fish may no longer work correctly on Data General Dasher D220 and Wyse WY-350 terminals, but should continue to work on all known terminal emulators released in the 21st century.
