+    * relative_to_absolute_name or methods calling it will now raise
+      TooManyLevelsError when a relative import was trying to
+      access something beyond the top-level package.     
 
     * AstroidBuildingException is now AstroidBuildingError. The first
       name will exist until astroid 2.0.
