+    - Changed the default value of ``always_2d`` from ``True`` to
+      ``False``.
+    - Numpy is now optional, and only loaded for ``read`` and
+      ``write``.
+    - Added ``SoundFile.buffer_read`` and
+      ``SoundFile.buffer_read_into`` and ``SoundFile.buffer_write``,
+      which read/write raw data without involving Numpy.
