-        Division-by-zero errors involving floating-point values were not
-        handled consistently by all math functions. Now such functions
-        return <literal>NULL</literal> whenever a division by zero is
-        attempted.
+        The <literal>-</literal>, <literal>*</literal>, and
+        <literal>/</literal> operators and the functions
+        <literal>POW()</literal> and <literal>EXP()</literal> could
+        misbehave when used with floating-point numbers. Previously they
+        might return <literal>+INF</literal>, <literal>-INF</literal>,
+        or <literal>NaN</literal> in cases of numeric overflow
+        (including that caused by division by zero) or when invalid
+        arguments were used. Now <literal>NULL</literal> is returned in
+        all such cases.
