 # Improved efficiency of many estimators
 # --------------------------------------
 # In version 1.1 the efficiency of many estimators relying on the computation of
-# pairwise distances was greatly improved for float64 dense input. In version 1.2,
-# the efficiency of these estimators was further improved for all combinations of
-# float32/float64 and dense/sparse input (for all metrics except euclidean). It
-# concerns essentially clustering, manifold learning and neighbor search algorithms.
