+2.1.1 (2017-06-11)
+------------------
+ - Fix previous release, it contained an incorrect dependency (Mock 2.1.) due
+   to bumpversion :-(
+
+
+2.1.0 (2017-06-11)
+------------------
+ - Fix recursion error while creating the signature for a global element when
+   it references itself (via ref attribute).
+ - Update Client.create_message() to apply plugins and wsse (#465)
+ - Fix handling unknown xsi types when parsing elements using xsd:anyType (#455)
+
+
+2.0.0 (2017-05-22)
+------------------
+
+This is a major release, and contains a number of backwards incompatible
+changes to the API.
+
+ - Default values of optional elements are not set by default anymore (#423)
+ - Refactor the implementation of wsdl:arrayType too make the API more
+   pythonic (backwards incompatible).
+ - The call signature for Client.create_message() was changed. It now requires
+   the service argument:
+
+     ``Client.create_message(service, operation_name, *args, **kwargs)``
+
+ - Choice elements now only work with keyword arguments and raise an exception
+   if positional arguments are passed (#439)
+ - Implement initial multiref support for SOAP RPC (#326). This was done using
+   really good real-world tests from vstoykov (thanks!)
+ - Fix exception on empty SOAP response (#442)
+ - Fix XSD default values for boolean types (Bartek Wójcicki, #386)
+
+
+1.6.0 (2017-04-27)
+------------------
+ - Implement ValueObject.__json__ for json serialization (#258)
+ - Improve handling of unexpected elements for soap:header (#378)
+ - Accept unexpected elements in complexTypes when strict is False
+ - Fix elementFormDefault/attributeFormDefault for xsd:includes (#426)
+
+
+1.5.0 (2017-04-22)
+------------------
+ - Fix issue where values of indicators (sequence/choice/all) would
+   write to the same internal dict. (#425)
+ - Set default XML parse mode to strict as was intended (#332)
+ - Add support for pickling value objects (#417)
+ - Add explicit Nil value via ``zeep.xsd.Nil`` (#424)
+ - Add xml_huge_tree kwarg to the Client() to enable lxml's huge_tree mode,
+   this is disabled by default (#332)
+ - Add support to pass base-types to type extensions (#416)
+ - Handle wsdl errors more gracefully by disabling the invalid operations
+   instead of raising an exception (#407, #387)
+
+
+1.4.1 (2017-04-01)
+------------------
+ - The previous release (1.4.0) contained an incorrect dependency due to
+   bumpversion moving all 1.3.0 versions to 1.4.0. This fixes it.
+
+
+1.4.0 (2017-04-01)
+------------------
+ - Hardcode the xml prefix to the xml namespace as defined in the specs (#367)
+ - Fix parsing of unbound sequences within xsd choices (#380)
+ - Use logger.debug() for debug related logging (#369)
+ - Add the ``Client.raw_response`` option to let zeep return the raw
+   transport response (requests.Response) instead of trying to parse it.
+ - Handle minOccurs/maxOccurs properlhy for xsd:Group elements. This also
+   fixes a bug in the xsd:Choice handling for multiple elements (#374, #410)
+ - Fix raising XMLSyntaxError when loading invalid XML (Antanas Sinica, #396)
+
+
+1.3.0 (2017-03-14)
+------------------
+ - Add support for nested xsd:choice elements (#370)
+ - Fix unresolved elements for xsd:extension, this was a regression introduced
+   in 1.2.0 (#377)
+
+
+1.2.0 (2017-03-12)
+------------------
+ - Add flag to disable strict mode in the Client. This allows zeep to better
+   work with non standard compliant SOAP Servers. See the documentation for
+   usage and potential downsides.
+ - Minor refactor of resolving of elements for improved performance
+ - Support the SOAP 1.2 'http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/'
+   transport uri (#355)
+ - Fallback to matching wsdl lookups to matching when the target namespace is
+   empty (#356)
+ - Improve the handling of xsd:includes, the default namespace of the parent
+   schema is now also used during resolving of the included schema. (#360)
+ - Properly propagate the global flag for complex types when an xsd:restriction
+   is used (#360)
+ - Filter out duplicate types and elements when dump the wsdl schema (#360)
+ - Add ``zeep.CachingClient()`` which enables the SqliteCache by default
+
+
+1.1.0 (2017-02-18)
+------------------
+ - Fix an attribute error when an complexType used xsd:anyType as base
+   restriction (#352)
+ - Update asyncio transport to return requests.Response objects (#335)
+
+
+1.0.0 (2017-01-31)
+------------------
+ - Use cgi.parse_header() to extract media_type for multipart/related checks
+   (#327)
+ - Don't ignore nil elements, instead return None when parsing xml (#328)
+ - Fix regression when using WSA with an older lxml version (#197)
+
+
 0.27.0 (2017-01-28)

  - Add support for SOAP attachments (multipart responses). (Dave Wapstra, #302)
