   string. Use something like "filter_policy=ribbonfilter:10" instead.
   * Allow configuration string like "filter_policy=bloomfilter:10" without
   bool, to minimize acknowledgement of obsolete block-based filter.
-  * A `filter_policy` loaded from an OPTIONS file can read existing filters
-  but still does not support writing new filters.
+  * Made FilterPolicy Customizable. Configuration of filter_policy is now accurately saved in OPTIONS file and can be loaded with LoadOptionsFromFile. (Loading an OPTIONS file generated by a previous version only enables reading and using existing filters, not generating new filters. Previously, no filter_policy would be configured from a saved OPTIONS file.)
   * Change meaning of nullptr return from GetBuilderWithContext() from "use
     block-based filter" to "generate no filter in this case."
     * Also, when user specifies bits_per_key < 0.5, we now round this down
