 - Fixed #8704 Using Phoenix lambdas on top of custom Proto expressions
     This works for C++11 only.
     Test cmath applies to this.
+- Fixed #7730 Generic specializations of is_nullary for custom terminals are not possible
+    Define BOOST_PHOENIX_SPECIALIZE_CUSTOM_TERMINAL to use this.
+    Test bug7730 tests this.
 - Fixed #7624 Deduction failure
     This works for C++11 and has a workaround for C++03
     Test bug7624 tests both versions.
