+API Changes for 3.10.1
+======================
+
+Behaviour
+---------
+
+*alpha* parameter handling on images
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When passing and array to ``imshow(..., alpha=...)``, the parameter was silently ignored
+if the image data was a RGB or RBGA image or if :rc:`interpolation_state`
+resolved to "rbga".
+
+This is now fixed, and the alpha array overwrites any previous transparency information.
