+
+4.0.1
+=====
+:release-date: TBA
+:release-by: Ask Solem
+
+- **Tasks**: Added new method to register class-based tasks (Issue #3615).
+
+    To register a class based task you should now call ``app.register_task``:
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        from celery import Celery, Task
+
+        app = Celery()
+
+        class CustomTask(Task):
+
+            def run(self):
+                return 'hello'
+
+        app.register_task(CustomTask())
+
+- **Tasks**: The ``task-sent`` event was not being sent even if
+  configured to do so (Issue #3646).
+
+- **Worker**: Fixed AMQP heartbeat support for eventlet/gevent pools
+  (Issue #3649).
+
+- **App**: ``app.conf.humanize()`` would not work if configuration
+  not finalized (Issue #3652).
+
+- **Utils**: ``saferepr`` attempted to show iterables as lists
+  and mappings as dicts.
+
+_ **Utils**: ``saferepr`` did not handle unicode-errors
+  when attempting to format ``bytes`` on Python 3 (Issue #3610).
+
+- **Utils**: ``saferepr`` should now properly represent byte strings
+  with non-ascii characters (Issue #3600).
+
+- **Results**: Fixed bug in elasticsearch where _index method missed
+  the body argument (Issue #3606).
+
+    Fix contributed by **何翔宇** (Sean Ho).
+
+- **Canvas**: Fixed :exc:`ValueError` in chord with single task header
+  (Issue #3608).
+
+    Fix contributed by **Viktor Holmqvist**.
+
+- **Task**: Ensure class-based task has name prior to registration
+  (Issue #3616).
+
+    Fix contributed by **Rick Wargo**.
+

+
+    Fix contributed by **Alli**.
+
+- **Worker**: Fixed :exc:`KeyError` in ``inspect stats`` when ``-O`` argument
+  set to something other than ``fast`` or ``fair`` (Issue #3621).
+
+- **Task**: Retried tasks were no longer sent to the original queue
+  (Issue #3622).
+
+- **Worker**: Python 3: Fixed None/int type comparison in
+  :file:`apps/worker.py` (Issue #3631).
+
+- **Results**: Redis has a new :setting:`redis_socket_connect_timeout`
+  setting.
+
+- **Results**: Redis result backend passed the ``socket_connect_timeout``
+  argument to UNIX socket based connections by mistake, causing a crash.
+
+- **Worker**: Fixed missing logo in worker splash screen when running on
+  Python 3.x (Issue #3627).
+
+    Fix contributed by **Brian Luan**.
+
+- **Deps**: Fixed ``celery[redis]`` bundle installation (Issue #3643).
+
+    Fix contributed by **Rémi Marenco**.
+
+- **Deps**: Bundle ``celery[sqs]`` now also requires :pypi:`pycurl`
+  (Issue #3619).
+
+- **Worker**: Hard time limits were no longer being respected (Issue #3618).
+
+- **Worker**: Soft time limit log showed ``Trues`` instead of the number
+  of seconds.
+
+- **App**: ``registry_cls`` argument no longer had any effect (Issue #3613).
+
+- **Worker**: Event producer now uses ``connection_for_Write`` (Issue #3525).
+
+- **Results**: Redis/memcache backends now uses :setting:`result_expires`
+  to expire chord counter (Issue #3573).
