+------------------------------------
+Major change history for coverage.py
+------------------------------------
+
+These are the major changes for coverage.py.  For a more complete change history,
+see the `CHANGES.txt <http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/src/tip/CHANGES.txt>`_
+file.
+
+Version 3.0b3, 16 May 2009
+--------------------------
+
+- Added parameters to coverage.__init__ for options that had been set on the
+  coverage object itself.
+  
+- Added clear_exclude() and get_exclude_list() methods for programmatic
+  manipulation of the exclude regexes.
+
+- Added coverage.load() to read previously-saved data from the data file.
+
+- When using the object api (that is, constructing a coverage() object), data
+  is no longer saved automatically on process exit.  You can re-enable it with
+  the auto_data=True parameter on the coverage() constructor. The module-level
+  interface still uses automatic saving.
+
+
+Version 3.0b2, 30 April 2009
+----------------------------
+
+HTML reporting, and continued refactoring.
+
+- HTML reports and annotation of source files: use the new -b (browser) switch.
+  Thanks to George Song for code, inspiration and guidance.
+
+- Code in the Python standard library is not measured by default.  If you need
+  to measure standard library code, use the -L command-line switch during
+  execution, or the cover_pylib=True argument to the coverage() constructor.
+
+- coverage.annotate_file is no longer available.
+
+- Removed the undocumented cache_file argument to coverage.usecache().
+
+
+Version 3.0b1, 7 March 2009
+---------------------------
+
+Major overhaul.
+
+- Coverage is now a package rather than a module.  Functionality has been split
+  into classes.
+
+- The trace function is implemented in C for speed.  Coverage runs are now
+  much faster.  Thanks to David Christian for productive micro-sprints and
+  other encouragement.
+
+- The minimum supported Python version is 2.3.
