 ===== Breaking changes
 
 * Python 2.7 and 3.5 support has been deprecated. The Python agent now requires Python 3.6+ {pull}1021[#1021]
 * No longer collecting body for `elasticsearch-py` `update` and `delete_by_query` {pull}1013[#1013]
 * Align `sanitize_field_names` config with the
   https://github.com/elastic/apm/blob/3fa78e2a1eeea81c73c2e16e96dbf6b2e79f3c64/specs/agents/sanitization.md[cross-agent spec].
-  If you are using a non-default `sanitize_field_names`, surrounding each of your entries with stars (i.e.
-  `\*secret\*`) will retain the old behavior. {pull}982[#982]
+  If you are using a non-default `sanitize_field_names`, surrounding each of your entries with stars (e.g.
+  `*secret*`) will retain the old behavior. {pull}982[#982]
 * Remove credit card sanitization for field values. This improves performance, and the security value of this check was
   dubious anyway. {pull}982[#982]
 * Remove HTTP querystring sanitization. This improves performance, and is meant to standardize behavior across the
   agents, as defined in https://github.com/elastic/apm/pull/334. {pull}982[#982]

@@ -42,7 +61,7 @@ we renamed "tags" to "labels", and introduced limited support for typed labels.
 While tag values were only allowed to be strings, label values can be strings, booleans, or numerical.
 
 To benefit from this change, ensure that you run at least *APM Server 6.7*, and use `elasticapm.label()` instead of `elasticapm.tag()`.
-The `tag()` API will continue to work as before, but emit a `DeprecationWarning`. It will be removed in 6.0 of the agent.
