   (`#57081: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57081>`_)
-- Clang no longer emits inappropriate notes about the loss of ``__unaligned`` qualifier
-  on overload resolution, when the actual reason for the failure is loss of other qualifiers.
+- The note emitted when an ``operator==`` was defaulted as deleted used to refer to
+  the lack of a data member's "three-way comparison operator." It now refers correctly
+  to the data member's ``operator==``.
+  (`#63960: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63960>`_)
 - Clang's notes about unconvertible types in overload resolution failure now covers
   the source range of parameter declaration of the candidate function declaration.
