-Release Notes
-=============
-
-0.2.3
-
-* Fix some throttling bugs.
-* ``X-Throttle`` header on throttling.
-* Support for nesting resources on related models.
-
-0.2.2
-
-* Throttling support complete.
-
-0.2.1
-
-* Couple of simple bugfixes over 0.2.0
-  
-0.2.0
-
-* Big refactoring changes since 0.1.0, ask on the discussion group if anything isn't clear.
-  The public API has been massively cleaned up.  Expect it to be fairly stable from here on in.
-
-* ``Resource`` becomes decoupled into ``View`` and ``Resource``, your views should now inherit from ``View``, not ``Resource``.
-
-* The handler functions on views ``.get() .put() .post()`` etc, no longer have the ``content`` and ``auth`` args.
-  Use ``self.CONTENT`` inside a view to access the deserialized, validated content.
-  Use ``self.user`` inside a view to access the authenticated user.
-
-* ``allowed_methods`` and ``anon_allowed_methods`` are now defunct.  if a method is defined, it's available.
-  The ``permissions`` attribute on a ``View`` is now used to provide generic permissions checking.
-  Use permission classes such as ``FullAnonAccess``, ``IsAuthenticated`` or ``IsUserOrIsAnonReadOnly`` to set the permissions.
-
-* The ``authenticators`` class becomes ``authentication``.  Class names change to ``Authentication``.
-
-* The ``emitters`` class becomes ``renderers``.  Class names change to ``Renderers``.
-
-* ``ResponseException`` becomes ``ErrorResponse``.
-
-* The mixin classes have been nicely refactored, the basic mixins are now ``RequestMixin``, ``ResponseMixin``, ``AuthMixin``, and ``ResourceMixin``
-  You can reuse these mixin classes individually without using the ``View`` class.
-
-0.1.1
-
-* Final build before pulling in all the refactoring changes for 0.2, in case anyone needs to hang on to 0.1.
-
-0.1.0
-
-* Initial release.
