 \item Added \code{registerReloadDelayedObjectFunction()} to allow extension developers to register reader functions for new classes.
 
-\item Added a \code{ReloadedArray.reuse.files="relsymlink"} option to create relative symbolic links to the original array files.
-This is more robust to movement of the original files, provided the new files are moved in the same manner.
+\item Added a \code{ReloadedArray.reuse.files="relsymlink"} option in the \code{saveObject()} method for ReloadedArrays.
+This creates relative symbolic links to the original array files, which is more robust to their movement provided the linked files are moved in the same manner.
 
 \item Enable deduplication of identical seeds across multiple calls to \code{storeDelayedObject()} within a single \dQuote{session}.
 This avoids making multiple copies of the same seed for different DelayedArray instances with the same seeds, e.g., in a SummarizedExperiment.

+\item Added an \code{external.save.args=} option to \code{storeDelayedObject()} to avoid conflicts in the method arguments of \code{saveObject()}.
