+---------------------------
 
-Lines will now be simplified according to the ``path.simplify`` RC parameter,

+Lines will now be simplified according to the ``path.simplify`` and
+``path.simplify_threshold`` RC parameters, as long as other conditions
+such as not using dashed lines are met. Simplification will only happen
+when drawing the line segment portion of a path, if you are also drawing
+markers you should consider using the ``markevery`` option to ``plot``.
