A couple of comments:

*) I think it would be helpful to also describe the change using API 
terms, so it is more clear to programmers who may not recognize all the 
crypto terminology. Perhaps: "... will now exclusively use the SunJCE 
Mac service for the underlying pseudorandom function (PRF)."

*) It's labeled RN-IssueFixed, but the text describes a change in 
behavior, not an issue. Maybe add a sentence like: "This change fixes an 
issue where..." Or perhaps use RN-Change, if the purpose of the note is 
to describe the change in behavior.
