 # Releases
 
+## Perceval 0.4 - (2016-11-03)
+
+** New features and improvements: **
+
+ * `category` field was added to items metadata to classify the type of
+   the item generated with each backend.
+ * The `tag` attribute added to the backends allows to mark the items
+   with a custom label.
+ * Two class methods, `has_caching` and `has_resuming`, are part now
+   of `Backend` class interface to notify whether a backend supports
+   caching and/or resuming of items.
+
+** Backend improvements: **
+
+ * **jenkins**
+   - support blacklist of jobs
+ * **mediawiki**
+   - use API pages methods by default
+ * **phabricator**
+   - fetch and include projects data assigned to each task
+ * **redmine**
+   - fetch and include users data
+ * **remo**
+   - support new version of the API
+ * **supybot**
+   - parse messages written by special bots
+
+** Bugs fixed: **
+
+ * Filepaths on merge commits were not captured on Git backend. This was
+   neccesary in those cases where merge commits only include data about
+   lines added and removed because the filepaths were not parsed and
+   included on the item data. (#63)
+ * The `url` argument on the Gerrit backend was set to optional. It is
+   mandatory. Thus, it was set to positional on the argument parser. (#60)
+ * Newer versions of Phabricator fixed a bug on API Conduit regarding
+   'constraints' parameter. The Phabricator client was modified to fix
+   this bug, too. (#80)
+ * Python's `requests` library decompresses gzip-encoded responses, but
+   in some cases is only able to decompress some parts due to encoding
+   issues or to mixed contents. This problem was fixed downloading and
+   storing the orinal/raw data (compressed or decompressed) for furthed
+   processing.
+ * Jira backend did not return items in order, from oldest to newest. (#89)
+ * Dates with invalid timezones were not parsed. In those cases, the
+   the dates will be converted usin UTC by default. (#73)
