 About
 =====
 MongoEngine is a Python Object-Document Mapper for working with MongoDB.
-Documentation available at http://mongoengine-odm.rtfd.org - there is currently
-a `tutorial <http://readthedocs.org/docs/mongoengine-odm/en/latest/tutorial.html>`_, a `user guide
-<https://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.org/en/latest/guide/index.html>`_ and an `API reference
-<http://readthedocs.org/docs/mongoengine-odm/en/latest/apireference.html>`_.

+
+Supported MongoDB Versions
+==========================
+MongoEngine is currently tested against MongoDB v2.4, v2.6, and v3.0. Future
+versions should be supported as well, but aren't actively tested at the moment.
+Make sure to open an issue or submit a pull request if you experience any
+problems with MongoDB v3.2+.
 
 Installation
 ============
 We recommend the use of `virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io/>`_ and of
 `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/>`_. You can then use ``pip install -U mongoengine``.
-You may also have `setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_ and thus

+and thus you can use ``easy_install -U mongoengine``. Otherwise, you can download the
 source from `GitHub <http://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine>`_ and run ``python
 setup.py install``.
 
 Dependencies
 ============
-- pymongo>=2.7.1
-- sphinx (optional - for documentation generation)
+All of the dependencies can easily be installed via `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/>`_.
+At the very least, you'll need these two packages to use MongoEngine:
+
+- pymongo>=2.7.1
+- six>=1.10.0
+
+If you utilize a ``DateTimeField``, you might also use a more flexible date parser:
 
-Optional Dependencies
----------------------
-- **Image Fields**: Pillow>=2.0.0
 - dateutil>=2.1.0
 
-.. note
-   MongoEngine always runs it's test suite against the latest patch version of each dependecy. e.g.: PyMongo 3.0.1
+If you need to use an ``ImageField`` or ``ImageGridFsProxy``:
+
+- Pillow>=2.0.0

 Upgrading
 #########
 
+Development
+***********
+(Fill this out whenever you introduce breaking changes to MongoEngine)
+
+This release includes various fixes for the `BaseQuerySet` methods and how they
+are chained together. Since version 0.10.1 applying limit/skip/hint/batch_size
+to an already-existing queryset wouldn't modify the underlying PyMongo cursor.
+This has been fixed now, so you'll need to make sure that your code didn't rely
+on the broken implementation.
+
+Additionally, a public `BaseQuerySet.clone_into` has been renamed to a private
+`_clone_into`. If you directly used that method in your code, you'll need to
+rename its occurrences.
+
+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.
+
+0.10.7
+******
+
+`QuerySet.aggregate_sum` and `QuerySet.aggregate_average` are dropped. Use
+`QuerySet.sum` and `QuerySet.average` instead which use the aggreation framework
+by default from now on.
