 Update Status 5.x-2.x-dev
   o #155450 by JoshuaRogers, dww: Moved cached data into a separate
     table in the database using a private (non-volatile) cache API.
+  o #267724 by dww: Fixed bug where update_status was not checking for
+    new data when the cache was cleared, until the set time was elapsed.
+    Now update_status checks on cron after the cache was cleared.
   o #314009 by igor.stamatovski: Added a Macedonian (mk) translation.
