 is made a short list of new features could be displayed.

 I think displaying all the text in the REST service might be difficult
 from an internationalization point of view as we'll be stuck with whatever
 phrases the server sends us. Perhaps having the rest output as "2.2.2,
 This version was released to fix a security problem" instead of just
 "2.2.2" might be useful. Then combine the version number, set phrases and
 messages together into something that can at least be partly translated by
 WordPress.
