 * Authors of alternative `.IOLoop` implementations should see the changes
   to `.IOLoop.add_handler` in this release.
+* `tornado.concurrent.Future` is no longer thread-safe; use
+  `concurrent.futures.Future` when thread-safety is needed.
+
+`tornado.concurrent`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* `tornado.concurrent.Future` is now always thread-unsafe (previously
+  it would be thread-safe if the `concurrent.futures` package was available).
+  This improves performance and provides more consistent semantics.
+  The parts of Tornado that accept Futures will accept both Tornado's
+  thread-unsafe Futures and the thread-safe `concurrent.futures.Future`.
+* `tornado.concurrent.Future` now includes all the functionality
+  of the old ``TracebackFuture`` class.  ``TracebackFuture`` is now
+  simply an alias for ``Future``.
+
+`tornado.gen`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* The internals of the `tornado.gen` module have been rewritten to
+  improve performance when using ``Futures``, at the expense of some
+  performance degradation for the older `.YieldPoint` interfaces.
+* Performance of coroutines has been improved.
+* Coroutines no longer generate ``StackContexts`` by default, but they
+  will be created on demand when needed.

   in addition to raw file descriptors.  Passing the objects is recommended
   (when possible) to avoid a garbage-collection-related problem in unit tests.
 
+`tornado.iostream`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* The ``callback`` argument to most `.IOStream` methods is now optional.
+  When called without a callback the method will return a `.Future`
+  for use with coroutines.
+
+`tornado.options`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* It is now possible to disable the default logging configuration
+  by setting ``options.logging`` to ``None`` instead of the string "none".
+
+`tornado.platform.asyncio`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Now works on Python 2.6.
+
+`tornado.stack_context`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* The stack context system now has less performance overhead when no
+  stack contexts are active.
+
+`tornado.testing`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* `.AsyncTestCase` now attempts to detect test methods that are generators
+  but were not run with ``@gen_test`` or any similar decorator (this would
+  previously result in the test silently being skipped).
+* Better stack traces are now displayed when a test times out.
+
+`tornado.web`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* When gzip support is enabled, all ``text/*`` mime types will be compressed,
+  not just those on a whitelist.
+
 `tornado.websocket`
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+* `.WebSocketHandler.close` and `.WebSocketClientConnection.close` now
+  support ``code`` and ``reason`` arguments to send a status code and
+  message to the other side of the connection when closing.  Both classes
+  also have ``close_code`` and ``close_reason`` attributes to receive these
+  values when the other side closes.
 * The C speedup module now builds correctly with MSVC, and can support
   messages larger than 2GB on 64-bit systems.
