 * You can now read and write the cursor of a `TextEdit` ([#848](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/848)).
 * Most widgets containing text (`Label`, `Button` etc) now supports rich text ([#855](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/855)).
 * When using a custom font you can now specify a font index ([#873](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/873)).
-* You can now read the plot coordinates of the mouse when building a `Plot` ([#766](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/766)).
+* You can now query information about the plot (e.g. get the mouse position in plot coordinates, or the plot
+  bounds) while adding items. `Plot` ([#766](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/766) and
+  [#892](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/892)).
 * Add vertical sliders with `Slider::new(…).vertical()` ([#875](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/875)).
 * Add `Button::image_and_text` ([#832](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/832)).
