+        Kill Instance Option
+        --------------------
+
+        If for some reasons you need to kill the location where the instance is
+        created and not called, for example if you create a single instance in
+        one place and debug in many locations, you can use the ``--instance``
+        option to kill this specific instance. Like for the ``call location``
+        killing an "instance" should work even if it is recreated within a
+        loop.
+
+        .. note::
+
+            This was the default behavior before IPython 5.2

   ``limit_to_all`` option of the completer. :ghpull:`10198`
 
 
+Changes of behavior to :any:`InteractiveShellEmbed`.
+
+:any:`InteractiveShellEmbed` interactive behavior have changed a bit in between
+5.1 and 5.2. By default ``%kill_embedded`` magic will prevent further invocation
+of the current ``call location`` instead of preventing further invocation of
+the current instance creation location. For most use case this will not change
+much for you, though previous behavior was confusing and less consistent with
+previous IPython versions.
+
+You can now deactivate instances by using ``%kill_embedded --instance`` flag,
+(or ``-i`` in short). The ``%kill_embedded`` magic also gained a
+``--yes``/``-y`` option which skip confirmation step, and  ``-x``/``--exit``
+which also exit the current embedded call without asking for confirmation.
+
+See :ghpull:`10207`.
