+
+News
+----
+
+* Broker transports can be now be specified using URLs
+
+    The broker hostname can now be given as an URL instead, of the format::
+
+        transport://user:password@hostname:port/virtual_host
+
+    for example the default broker is written as::
+
+        amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//
+
+    Transport defaults to amqp, and is not required.
+    user, password, port and virtual_host is also not mandatory and
+    will default to the corresponding transport default.
+
+    .. note::
+
+        Note that the path component (virtual_host) always starts with a
+        forward-slash.  This is necessary to distinguish between the virtual
+        host '' (empty) and '/', which are both acceptable virtual host names.
+
+        A virtual host of '/' becomes:
+
+            amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//
+
+        and a virtual host of '' (empty) becomes::
+
+            amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/
+
+        So the leading slash in the path component is **always required**.
+
+   In addition the :setting:`BROKER_URL` setting has been added as an alias
+   to ``BROKER_HOST``.  Any broker setting specified in both the URL and in
+   the configuration will be ignored, if a setting is not provided in the URL
+   then the value from the configuration will be used as default.
+
+   Also, programs now support the :option:`-b|--broker` option to specify
+   a broker URL on the command line::
+
+        $ celeryd -b redis://localhost
+
+        $ celeryctl -b amqp://guest:guest@localhost//e
+
+    The environment variable :envvar:`CELERY_BROKER_URL` can also be used to
+    easily override the default broker used.
+
+* Adds :setting:`EMAIL_USE_TLS` to enable secure SMTP connections
+  (Issue #418).
+
+* The coloring of log messages didn't handle non-ASCII data well
+  (Issue #427).
+
+* The Cache, Cassandra, MongoDB, Redis and Tyrant backends now respects
+  the :setting:`CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER` setting (Issue #435).
+
+    This means that only the database (django/sqlalchemy) backends
+    currently does not support using custom serializers.
+
+* Logging calls no longer manually formats messages, but delegates
+  that to the logging system, so tools like Sentry can easier
+  work with the messages (Issue #445).
+
+* ``Task.request`` now contains the current workers hostname (Issue #460).
+
+* ``celeryd_multi`` now supports a ``stop_verify`` command to wait for
+  processes to shutdown.
+
+* New setting :setting:`CELERY_RESULT_DB_SHORT_LIVED_SESSIONS` added,
+  which if enabled will disable the caching of SQLAlchemy sessions.
+
+Fixes
+-----
+
+* Fixes case where the worker could become unresponsive because of tasks
+  exceeding the hard time limit.
+
+* Eventlet no longer crashes if autoscale is enabled.
+
+    growing and shrinking eventlet pools is still not supported.
+
+* [Windows] the multiprocessing pool tried to import ``os.kill``
+  even though this is not available there (Issue #450).
+
+* `purge/discard_all` was not working correctly (Issue #455).
+
+* Retries will no longer be performed when tasks are called directly
+  (using ``__call__``).
+
+   Instead the exception passed to ``retry`` will be re-raised.
+
+* All result backends now implements ``__reduce__`` so that they can
+  be pickled (Issue #441).
+
+* The ``task-sent`` event was missing from the event reference.
+
+* ``ResultSet.iterate`` now returns results as they finish (Issue #459).
+
+    This was not the case previously, even though the documentation
+    states this was the expected behavior.
