 Changes
 =======
 
+1.8 (2014-03-04)
+++++++++++++++++
+
+* Improved url parsing in ``urllib3.util.parse_url`` (properly parse '@' in
+  username, and blank ports like 'hostname:').
+
+* New ``urllib3.connection`` module which contains all the HTTPConnection
+  objects.
+
+* Several ``urllib3.util.Timeout``-related fixes. Also changed constructor
+  signature to a more sensible order. [Backwards incompatible]
+  (Issues #252, #262, #263)
+
+* Use ``backports.ssl_match_hostname`` if it's installed. (Issue #274)
+
+* Added ``.tell()`` method to ``urllib3.response.HTTPResponse`` which
+  returns the number of bytes read so far. (Issue #277)
+
+* Support for platforms without threading. (Issue #289)
+
+* Expand default-port comparison in ``HTTPConnectionPool.is_same_host``
+  to allow a pool with no specified port to be considered equal to to an
+  HTTP/HTTPS url with port 80/443 explicitly provided. (Issue #305)
+
+* Improved default SSL/TLS settings to avoid vulnerabilities.
+  (Issue #309)
+
+* Fixed ``urllib3.poolmanager.ProxyManager`` not retrying on connect errors.
+  (Issue #310)
+
+* Disable Nagle's Algorithm on the socket for non-proxies. A subset of requests
+  will send the entire HTTP request ~200 milliseconds faster; however, some of
+  the resulting TCP packets will be smaller. (Issue #254)
+
+* Increased maximum number of SubjectAltNames in ``urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl``
+  from the default 64 to 1024 in a single certificate. (Issue #318)
+
+* Headers are now passed and stored as a custom
+  ``urllib3.collections_.HTTPHeaderDict`` object rather than a plain ``dict``.
+  (Issue #329, #333)
+
+* Headers no longer lose their case on Python 3. (Issue #236)
+
+* ``urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl`` now uses the operating system's default CA
+  certificates on inject. (Issue #332)
+
+* Requests with ``retries=False`` will immediately raise any exceptions without
+  wrapping them in ``MaxRetryError``. (Issue #348)
+
+* Fixed open socket leak with SSL-related failures. (Issue #344, #348)
+
+
 1.7.1 (2013-09-25)

+* Added granular timeout support with new ``urllib3.util.Timeout`` class.
   (Issue #231)
