+=======
+
+0.5.3 (TBD)
+-----------
+
+-   Added option of raising errors on missing tags/partials:
+    `Renderer(missing_tags='strict')` (issue \#110).
+-   Added a `parse()` function that yields a printable, pre-compiled
+    parse tree.
+-   Added support for rendering pre-compiled templates.
+-   Bugfix: exceptions raised from a property are no longer swallowed
+    when getting a key from a context stack (issue \#110).
+-   Bugfix: lambda section values can now return non-ascii, non-unicode
+    strings (issue \#118).
+-   More robust handling of byte strings in Python 3.
+
+0.5.2 (2012-05-03)
+------------------
+
+-   Added support for dot notation and version 1.1.2 of the spec (issue
+    \#99). [rbp]
+-   Missing partials now render as empty string per latest version of
+    spec (issue \#115).
+-   Bugfix: falsey values now coerced to strings using str().
+-   Bugfix: lambda return values for sections no longer pushed onto
+    context stack (issue \#113).
+-   Bugfix: lists of lambdas for sections were not rendered (issue
+    \#114).
+
+0.5.1 (2012-04-24)
+------------------
+
+-   Added support for Python 3.1 and 3.2.
+-   Added tox support to test multiple Python versions.
+-   Added test script entry point: pystache-test.
+-   Added \_\_version\_\_ package attribute.
+-   Test harness now supports both YAML and JSON forms of Mustache spec.
+-   Test harness no longer requires nose.
+
+0.5.0 (2012-04-03)
+------------------
+
+This version represents a major rewrite and refactoring of the code base
+that also adds features and fixes many bugs. All functionality and
+nearly all unit tests have been preserved. However, some backwards
+incompatible changes to the API have been made.
+
+Below is a selection of some of the changes (not exhaustive).
+
+Highlights:
+
+-   Pystache now passes all tests in version 1.0.3 of the [Mustache
+    spec](https://github.com/mustache/spec). [pvande]
+-   Removed View class: it is no longer necessary to subclass from View
+    or from any other class to create a view.
+-   Replaced Template with Renderer class: template rendering behavior
+    can be modified via the Renderer constructor or by setting
+    attributes on a Renderer instance.
+-   Added TemplateSpec class: template rendering can be specified on a
+    per-view basis by subclassing from TemplateSpec.
+-   Introduced separation of concerns and removed circular dependencies
+    (e.g. between Template and View classes, cf. [issue
+    \#13](https://github.com/defunkt/pystache/issues/13)).
+-   Unicode now used consistently throughout the rendering process.
+-   Expanded test coverage: nosetests now runs doctests and \~105 test
+    cases from the Mustache spec (increasing the number of tests from 56
+    to \~315).
+-   Added a rudimentary benchmarking script to gauge performance while
+    refactoring.
+-   Extensive documentation added (e.g. docstrings).
+
+Other changes:
+
+-   Added a command-line interface. [vrde]
+-   The main rendering class now accepts a custom partial loader (e.g. a
+    dictionary) and a custom escape function.
+-   Non-ascii characters in str strings are now supported while
+    rendering.
+-   Added string encoding, file encoding, and errors options for
+    decoding to unicode.
+-   Removed the output encoding option.
+-   Removed the use of markupsafe.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+-   Context values no longer processed as template strings.
+    [jakearchibald]
+-   Whitespace surrounding sections is no longer altered, per the spec.
+    [heliodor]
+-   Zeroes now render correctly when using PyPy. [alex]
+-   Multline comments now permitted. [fczuardi]
+-   Extensionless template files are now supported.
+-   Passing `**kwargs` to `Template()` no longer modifies the context.
+-   Passing `**kwargs` to `Template()` with no context no longer raises
+    an exception.
+
+0.4.1 (2012-03-25)
+------------------
+
+-   Added support for Python 2.4. [wangtz, jvantuyl]

+-   Decoupled template loading
+
+0.3.1 (2010-05-07)
+------------------
+
+-   Fix package
+
+0.3.0 (2010-05-03)

+------------------

+-   Bugfix: Methods returning False or None are not rendered
+-   Bugfix: Don't render an empty string when a tag's value is 0.
+    [enaeseth]
+-   Add support for using non-callables as View attributes.
+    [joshthecoder]
+-   Allow using View instances as attributes. [joshthecoder]
+-   Support for Unicode and non-ASCII-encoded bytestring output.
+    [enaeseth]
