 Using field "titles" in multiple-field indexing is now disallowed, as is
 repeating a field name in a multiple-field index.
 
+``sign`` option added to ``np.setprintoptions`` and ``np.array2string``
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+This option controls printing of the sign of floating-point types, and may be
+one of the characters '-', '+' or ' ', or the string 'legacy'. With '+' numpy
+always prints the sign of positive values, with ' ' it always prints a space
+(whitespace character) in the sign position of positive values, and with '-' it
+will omit the sign character for positive values, and with 'legacy' it will
+behave like ' ' except no space is printed in 0d arrays. The new default is '-'.
+
+Unneeded whitespace in float array printing removed
+---------------------------------------------------
+The new default of ``sign='-'`` (see last note) means that the ``repr`` of
+float arrays now often omits the whitespace characters previously used to
+display the sign. This new behavior can be disabled to mostly reproduce numpy
+1.13 behavior by calling ``np.set_printoptions(sign='legacy')``.
+
+``threshold`` and ``edgeitems`` options added to ``np.array2string``
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+These options could previously be controlled using ``np.set_printoptions``, but
+now can be changed on a per-call basis as arguments to ``np.array2string``.
