+ 
+         The "eq" and "ne" operators are no longer part of the list of
+         "associative" operators, while they remain considered to be
+         "commutative".  This allows an expression like ``(x == y) == z``
+         to be maintained at the SQL level with parenthesis.  Pull request
+         courtesy John Passaro.

 +
 +        The primaryjoin of a :func:`.relationship` construct can now include
 +        a :func:`.bindparam` object that includes a callable function to
 +        generate values.  Previously, the lazy loader strategy would
 +        be incompatible with this use, and additionally would fail to correctly
 +        detect if the "use_get" criteria should be used if the primary key
 +        were involved with the bound parameter.
