Ah, I copy-pasted that from the 1.3.1 announcement. It's supposed to mean that this section is "inherited" from the release notes 1.5.0.
Perhaps instead
In addition, like Scala.js 1.5.0:
?
Or just remove that section?

I think there is value in keeping that section, because it makes the release notes stand on their own: They define the compatibility guarantees w.r.t. any Scala.js version. "In addition, like Scala.js 1.5.0:" is good IMO.

| * It is *not* forward binary compatible with 1.4.x: libraries compiled with 1.5.1 cannot be used with 1.4.x or earlier. | ||
| * It is *not* entirely backward source compatible: it is not guaranteed that a codebase will compile *as is* when upgrading from 1.4.x or earlier (in particular in the presence of `-Xfatal-warnings`). |

If you put "In addition, like Scala.js 1.5.0:", maybe add "... backward source compatible with 1.4.x:" to be more explicit.

Why does it mention 1.5.0 in release notes for 1.5.1?
