 ## Unreleased
 
+### Changed
+
+- The description of the resize forms (`~sized<N>`, `~wordsized`) said that
+  their left-side padding and truncation match how Solidity resizes both
+  `bytesN` and `uintN`. That holds only for `uintN`. Solidity pads and
+  truncates `bytesN` on the right. The description now says so ([#402]).
+  - Schemas: **ethdebug/format/pointer/expression**
+  - Producers: no change needed. The resize forms work as before. To pad a
+    `bytesN` value on the right, concatenate it with zero bytes (`~concat`).
+  - Consumers: no change needed. The evaluation rules did not change.
