   Thanks, Danny Allen.
 
+- Plugins: third parties can write plugins to add file support for non-Python
+  files, such as web application templating engines, or languages that compile
+  down to Python.
+
+- Wildly experimental: support for measuring processes started by the
+  multiprocessing module.  To use, set ``--concurrency=multiprocessing``,
+  either on the command line or in the .coveragerc file (`issue 117`_). Thanks,

 Improvements:
 
+- Coverage.py now always adds the current directory to sys.path, so that
+  plugins can import files in the current directory (`issue 358`_).

 - The ``--debug`` switch can now be used on any command.
 
 - The XML report now contains a <source> element, fixing `issue 94`_.  Thanks

   regression, I apologize.  This was reported in `issue 235`_, which is now

+- The `coverage.process_startup` function now will start coverage measurement
+  only once, no matter how many times it is called.  This fixes problems due

 API changes:
 
 - The class defined in the coverage module is now called ``Coverage`` instead

 - You can now programmatically adjust the configuration of coverage by setting
   items on `Coverage.config` after construction.
 
+- If the `config_file` argument to the Coverage constructor is specified as
+  ".coveragerc", it is treated as if it were True.  This means setup.cfg is
