The change is:

 -        For some types of relation, <literal>\d</> shows additional information
 +        For some types of relations, <literal>\d</> shows additional information

Isn't 'types' plural so 'relations' has to be plural. I saw this while
working on the release notes.

Yes, "types" is plural, but that doesn't mean that "relation" is
necessarily wrong here, AFAIK. I don't see why you can't have plural
types of a singular category. If you can cite a rule of English grammar
to the contrary I'd like to see it.

I was just guessing by how it sounded. Reverted.
