+== Passing advanced options
+
+The top level helper methods like RestClient.get accept a headers hash as
+their last argument and don't allow passing more complex options. But these
+helpers are just thin wrappers around RestClient::Request.execute.
+
+  RestClient::Request.execute(method: :get, url: 'http://example.com/resource',
+                              timeout: 10)
+
+You can also use this to pass a payload for HTTP verbs like DELETE, where the
+RestClient.delete helper doesn't accept a payload.
+
+  RestClient::Request.execute(method: :delete, url: 'http://example.com/resource',
+                              payload: 'foo', headers: {myheader: 'bar'})
+
+Due to unfortunate choices in the original API, the params used to populate the
+query string are actually taken out of the headers hash. So if you want to pass
+both the params hash and more complex options, use the special key
+<tt>:params</tt> in the headers hash. This design may change in a future major
+release.
+
+  RestClient::Request.execute(method: :get, url: 'http://example.com/resource',
+                              timeout: 10, headers: {params: {foo: 'bar'}})

+# 2.0.0
+
+This release is largely API compatible, but makes several breaking changes.
+
+- Drop support for Ruby 1.9.2
+- Respect Content-Type charset header provided by server. Previously,
+  rest-client would not override the string encoding chosen by Net::HTTP. Now
+  responses that specify a charset will yield a body string in that encoding.
+  For example, `Content-Type: text/plain; charset=EUC-JP` will return a String
+  encoded with `Encoding::EUC_JP`.
+- Change exceptions raised on request timeout. Instead of
+  RestClient::RequestTimeout (which is still used for HTTP 408), network
+  timeouts will now raise either RestClient::Exceptions::ReadTimeout or
+  RestClient::Exceptions::OpenTimeout, both of which inherit from
+  RestClient::Exceptions::Timeout. This class also makes the original wrapped
+  exception available as `#original_exception`.
+- Rename `:timeout` to `:read_timeout`. When `:timeout` is passed, now set both
+  `:read_timeout` and `:open_timeout`.
+- Change default HTTP Accept header to `*/*`
+- Use a more descriptive User-Agent header by default
+- Drop RC4-MD5 from default cipher list
+- Only prepend http:// to URIs without a scheme
+- Fix some support for using IPv6 addresses in URLs (still affected by Ruby
+  2.0+ bug https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9129, with the fix expected to be
+  backported to 2.0 and 2.1)
+- `Response` objects are now a subclass of `String` rather than a `String` that
+  mixes in the response functionality. Most of the methods remain unchanged,
+  but this makes it much easier to understand what is happening when you look
+  at a RestClient response object. There are a few additional changes:
+  - Response objects now implement `.inspect` to make this distinction clearer.
+  - `Response#to_i` will now behave like `String#to_i` instead of returning the
+    HTTP response code, which was very surprising behavior.
+  - `Response#body` and `#to_s` will now return a true `String` object rather
+    than self. Previously there was no easy way to get the true `String` response
+    instead of the Frankenstein response string object with AbstractResponse
+    mixed in.
+- Handle multiple HTTP response headers with the same name (except for
+  Set-Cookie, which is special) by joining the values with a comma space,
+  compliant with RFC 7230
+- Don't set basic auth header if explicit `Authorization` header is specified
+- Add `:proxy` option to requests, which can be used for thread-safe
+  per-request proxy configuration, overriding `RestClient.proxy`
+- Allow overriding `ENV['http_proxy']` to disable proxies by setting
+  `RestClient.proxy` to a falsey value. Previously there was no way in Ruby 2.x
+  to turn off a proxy specified in the environment without changing `ENV`.
+- Add actual support for streaming request payloads. Previously rest-client
+  would call `.to_s` even on RestClient::Payload::Streamed objects. Instead,
+  treat any object that responds to `.read` as a streaming payload and pass it
+  through to `.body_stream=` on the Net:HTTP object. This massively reduces the
+  memory required for large file uploads.
+- Remove `RestClient::MaxRedirectsReached` in favor of the normal
+  `ExceptionWithResponse` subclasses. This makes the response accessible on the
+  exception object as `.response`, making it possible for callers to tell what
+  has actually happened when the redirect limit is reached.
+- When following HTTP redirection, store a list of each previous response on
+  the response object as `.history`. This makes it possible to access the
+  original response headers and body before the redirection was followed.
+- Add `:before_execution_proc` option to `RestClient::Request`. This makes it
+  possible to add procs like `RestClient.add_before_execution_proc` to a single
+  request without global state.
