The change I made is supposed to prevent unrelated, already installed packages
from getting updated. So perhaps
"In unattended mode, if packages were selected on command line,
install only those, don't also upgrade all installed packages"

"Various improvements so progress bar shows progress during operations which
may take a long time with a large number of packages selected."

Also a few earlier changes you didn't mention:
(2.739)
- Canonicalize mirror URLs so they always end with a '/'
(2.740)
- Fix a bug which would lead to setup getting stuck on the dependency
checking progress page in unattended mode when a dependency of an already
installed package was not installed somehow.
(2.741)
Correct the description of the -K option in help text
