   * {func}`jax.export.export` can be used for device-polymorphic export with
     shardings constructed with {func}`jax.sharding.AbstractMesh`.
     See the [jax.export documentation](https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/export/export.html#device-polymorphic-export).
+  * Added {func}`jax.lax.split`. This is a primitive version of
+    {func}`jax.numpy.split`, added because it yields a more compact
+    transpose during automatic differentiation.
