+
+- The fifth section is now named `Events` (`5:Events`) at every width that shows
+  a name, in the tab bar, its view title and the help text. Narrow panes no longer switch it
+  to a different word (`Status`, earlier `Notices`). Full tab names now fit
+  in panes 7 columns narrower.
+- A wait that ends in under two minutes no longer counts toward the `Events`
+  unread badge. The view still lists it. Each wait is measured on its own, so
+  repeated short waits do not add up. Problems, causes that need action and
+  longer waits count as before.
