 New modules
 ~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 * `tornado.gen`:  A generator-based interface to simplify writing 
   asynchronous functions.
+* `tornado.netutil`:  Parts of `tornado.httpserver` have been extracted into
+  a new module for use with non-HTTP protocols.
 * `tornado.platform.twisted`:  A bridge between the Tornado IOLoop and the
   Twisted Reactor, allowing code written for Twisted to be run on Tornado.
 * `tornado.process`:  Multi-process mode has been improved, and can now restart
   crashed child processes.  A new entry point has been added at 
   `tornado.process.fork_processes`, although
   `tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer.start` is still supported.
-* `tornado.netutil`:  To facilitate some advanced multi-process scenarios,
-  ``HTTPServer`` has a new method ``add_sockets``, and socket-opening code is
-  available separately as `tornado.netutil.bind_sockets`.
