   (thanks to Jeevan M R for the latter). (`#532`_, `#714`_)
 * Added support for `colorzero`_ with :class:`RGBLED` (this adds a new
   dependency). (`#655`_)
-* Added :class:`TonalBuzzer` class with musical notation API :class:`Tone`.

+* Added :class:`TonalBuzzer` with :class:`~tones.Tone` API for specifying frequencies
+  raw or via MIDI or musical notes. (`#681`_, `#717`_)
 * Added :class:`PiHutXmasTree`. (`#502`_)
 * Added :class:`PumpkinPi` and :class:`JamHat` (thanks to Claire Pollard).

+* Ensured gpiozero can be imported without a valid pin factory set. (`#591`_,

+* Reduced import time by not computing default pin factory at the point of

 * Added support for various pin numbering mechanisms. (`#470`_)
 * :class:`Motor` instances now use :class:`DigitalOutputDevice` for non-PWM
   pins.
