Please consider a format suggested by site [1].

Personally I like types of changes used in that format (like Added, 
Changed, Deprecated etc)

for better readability.

> +* `box.ctl.wait_rw()` could return even if the instance is not writable due to having foreign synchronous transactions. As a result, there was no a proper way to wait until the automatically elected leader becomes writable. Now `box.ctl.wait_rw()` works correctly (gh-5440).
