+  * File scope is no longer used when there are no input files (i.e.,
+    when input comes from stdin).  Previously file scope was triggered
+    when the `json` reader was specified and input came from `stdin`,

+    thanks to Fedor Sheremetyev for calling the bug to our attention.)
+  * Improved documentation of templates (#2797).
