+=====================================
+Changes from 4.0.0 TP2 to 4.0.0 beta1
+=====================================
+
+New since TP2:
+
+- Previous always-appended code called default.vcl is now called builtin.vcl.
+  The new example.vcl is recommended as a starting point for new users.
+- vcl_error is now called vcl_synth, and does not any more mandate closing the
+  client connection.
+- New VCL function vcl_backend_error, where you can change the 503 prepared if
+  all your backends are failing. This can then be cached as a regular object.
+- Keyword "remove" in VCL is replaced by "unset".
+- new timestamp and accounting records in varnishlog.
+- std.timestamp() is introduced.
+- stored objects are now read only, meaning obj.hits now counts per objecthead
+  instead. obj.lastuse saw little use and has been removed.
+- builtin VCL now does return(pipe) for chunked POST and PUT requests.
+- python-docutils and rst2man are now build requirements.
+- cli_timeout is now 60 seconds to avoid slaughtering the child process in
+  times of high IO load/scheduling latency.
+- return(purge) from vcl_recv is now valid.
+- return(hash) is now the default return action from vcl_recv.
+- req.backend is now req.backend_hint. beresp.storage is beresp.storage_hint.
