 On systems where the grep command supports it, directories will be
 skipped.
 
-*** 'grep-find-template' now includes the 'find' option '-H'.
+*** Commands that use 'grep-find' now follow symlinks for command-line args.
+This is because the default value of 'grep-find-template' now includes
+the 'find' option '-H'.  Commands that use that variable, including
+indirectly via a call to 'xref-matches-in-directory', might be
+affected.  In particular, there should be no need anymore to ensure
+any directory names on the 'find' command lines end in a slash.
+This change is for better compatibility with old versions of non-GNU
+'find', such as the one used on macOS.
