It uses "STARTTLS" for TLS and "SSL/TLS" for SSL. The new terminology is better, the problem is that it doesn't match what most email providers document and existing users are used to the old terminology. There are no balloon tips to explain the difference, it is not covered by the online help, and it is not in the release notes. How is a typical user supposed to figure out what these settings mean? http://sial.org/howto/openssl/tls-name/ Reproducible: Always
It's too late for any additional tooltips in 3.0 (well past string freeze), but this should be noted in the What's New section of the release notes. I can't find a bug on those for final, thus just confirming and setting the keyword.

Removing relnote keyword from bugs that are no longer significant or not needing to be mentioned in the release notes.

No, this terminology is widely used now. E.g. Gmail on Android uses the same strings.
