Is there a link to what this means we could put in? (Imagining reading these from a naive users point of view, and this line is pretty opaque :-))

It is opaque ;) The 1.8.0 release notes has a discussion and there is a brief mention in the 'Internal memory layout of an ndarray' section of the reference guide.

There's a missing space here: "datetimes with timeunits" -> "datetimes with time units" (yes, I wrote this section!) |

| * The datetime64 type is now timezone naive. | ||
| * A dtype parameter has been added to ``randint``. | ||
| * A new benchmark suite using `Airspeed Velocity`. |

The benchmark suite isn't user facing, so I would probably drop it as a highlight for the release notes.
FWIW, my favorite changes for the release (beyond your list) include:
- automatic bin width estimation for
np.histogram np.moveaxis(full disclosure: yes, this was mine!)- optimization for

Just as a reminder, it might be worth noting that |
| * The datetime64 type is now timezone naive. | ||
| * A dtype parameter has been added to ``randint``. | ||
| * Improved detection of two arrays possibly sharing memory. | ||
| * Alternative algorithms for ``np.histogram`` bin estimation. |

These aren't alternative algorithms -- they are the first options to make it in numpy. I would say simply "automatic bin size estimation for np.histogram"
