6* __new__: indicates new features,
7* __upd__: indicates updated features,

10Deprecation means that in the next version feature will be removed.

56The new parameter in `connection.Connection` is useful when operating with handles.
57As handle does not contain schema (`http`, `https`, etc.) `_setlogin()` would raise an
58unhandled exception -- `requests.exceptions.MissingSchema`.
59Now, however, `Connection` will catch the exception, add missing schema and try once more.
60This parameter is provided to give programmers ability to manipulate it.
61
62Also, now you can pass just `pod.example.com` as `pod` parameter. Less typing!

64When it comes to posts, we are now able to fetch comments.

70First edition of Changelog for `diaspy`.
71Developers should update their code as version `0.3.0` may not be fully
72backwards compatible depending on how the code is written.
73If you always pass named arguments and do not rely on their order you can, at least in
74theory, not worry about this update.
75
76Version `0.3.0` introduces few new features, fixes several bugs and brings a bit of
77redesign and refactoring od `diaspy`'s code.
