 Upgrading
 #########
 
+0.11.0
+******
+This release includes a major rehaul of MongoEngine's code quality and
+introduces a few breaking changes. It also touches many different parts of
+the package and although all the changes have been tested and scrutinized,
+you're encouraged to thorougly test the upgrade.
+
+First breaking change involves renaming `ConnectionError` to `MongoEngineConnectionError`.
+If you import or catch this exception, you'll need to rename it in your code.
+
+Second breaking change drops Python v2.6 support. If you run MongoEngine on
+that Python version, you'll need to upgrade it first.
+
+Third breaking change drops an old backward compatibility measure where
+`from mongoengine.base import ErrorClass` would work on top of
+`from mongoengine.errors import ErrorClass` (where `ErrorClass` is e.g.
+`ValidationError`). If you import any exceptions from `mongoengine.base`,
+change it to `mongoengine.errors`.
+
+0.10.8
+******
+This version fixed an issue where specifying a MongoDB URI host would override
+more information than it should. These changes are minor, but they still
+subtly modify the connection logic and thus you're encouraged to test your
+MongoDB connection before shipping v0.10.8 in production.
