    perspective of C and C++, this is a non-change since array types in function signatures decay to pointer types.
    However, it allows autogenerated code to be aware of expected input shapes.
 
+#. Experimental stateless fluid interaction model. As described :ref:`here <gePassive>`, fluid forces use sizes computed
+   from body inertia. While sometimes convenient, this is very rarely a good approximation. In the new model forces act
+   on geoms, rather than bodies, and have a several user-settable parameters. The model is activated by setting a new
+   attribute: ``<geom fluidshape="ellipsoid"/>``. The parameters are described succinctly :ref:`here<geom>`, but we
+   leave a full description or the model and its parameters to when this feature leaves experimental status.
