  * Type Checker: Address members are not included in contract types anymore. An explicit conversion is now required before invoking an ``address`` member from a contract.
  * Remove obsolete ``std`` directory from the Solidity repository. This means accessing ``https://github.com/ethereum/soldity/blob/develop/std/*.sol`` (or ``https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/std/*.sol`` in Remix) will not be possible.
  * References Resolver: Turn missing storage locations into an error. This was already the case in the experimental 0.5.0 mode.
+ * Syntax Checker: Disallow functions without implementation to use modifiers. This was already the case in the experimental 0.5.0 mode.
  * Syntax Checker: Named return values in function types are an error.
  * Syntax Checker: Strictly require visibility specifier for functions. This was already the case in the experimental 0.5.0 mode.
  * Syntax Checker: Disallow unary ``+``. This was already the case in the experimental 0.5.0 mode.
