Changelog
=========
+* :feature:`394` Replace PyCrypto with the Python Cryptographic Authority
+ (PyCA) 'Cryptography' library suite. This improves security, installability,
+ and performance; adds PyPy support; and much more.
+
+ There aren't enough ways to thank Alex Gaynor for all of his work on this,
+ and then his patience while the maintainer let his PR grow moss for a year
+ and change. Paul Kehrer came in with an assist, and I think I saw Olle
+ Lundberg, ``@techtonik`` and ``@johnthagen`` supplying backup as well. Thanks
+ to all!
+
+ .. warning::
+ **This is a backwards incompatible change.**
+
+ However, **it should only affect installation** requirements; **no API
+ changes are intended or expected**. Please report any such breakages as
+ bugs.
+
+ See our updated :doc:`installation docs <installing>` for details on what
+ is now required to install Paramiko; many/most users should be able to
+ simply ``pip install -U paramiko`` (especially if you **upgrade to pip
+ 8**).
+
* :support:`729 backported` Clean up ``setup.py`` to always use ``setuptools``,
not doing so was a historical artifact from bygone days. Thanks to Alex
Gaynor.
