+If you use REST framework commercially and would like to see this work continue,
+we strongly encourage you to invest in its continued development by
+**[signing up for a paid&nbsp;plan][funding]**.

+
+## Improved schema generation
+
+Docstrings on views are now pulled through into schema definitions, allowing
+you to [use the schema definition to document your&nbsp;API][schema-docs].
+
+There is now also a shortcut function, `get_schema_view()`, which makes it easier to
+[adding schema views][schema-view] to your API.
+
+For example, to include a swagger schema to your API, you would do the following:
+
+* Run `pip install django-rest-swagger`.
+
+* Add `'rest_framework_swagger'` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting.
+
+* Include the schema view in your URL conf:
+
+```py
+from rest_framework.schemas import get_schema_view
+from rest_framework_swagger.renderers import OpenAPIRenderer, SwaggerUIRenderer
+
+schema_view = get_schema_view(
+    title='Example API',
+    renderer_classes=[OpenAPIRenderer, SwaggerUIRenderer]
+)
+
+urlpatterns = [
+    url(r'^swagger/$', schema_view),
+    ...
+]
+```
+
+There have been a large number of fixes to the schema generation. These should
+resolve issues for anyone using the latest version of the `django-rest-swagger`
+package.
+
+Some of these changes do affect the resulting schema structure,
+so if you're already using schema generation you should make sure to review
+[the deprecation notes](#deprecations), particularly if you're currently using
+a dynamic client library to interact with your API.
+
+Finally, we're also now exposing the schema generation as a
+[publicly documented API][schema-generation-api], allowing you to more easily
+override the behaviour.
+
+## Requests test client
+
+You can now test your project using the `requests` library.
+
+This exposes exactly the same interface as if you were using a standard
+requests session instance.
+
+    client = RequestsClient()
+    response = client.get('http://testserver/users/')
+    assert response.status_code == 200
+
+Rather than sending any HTTP requests to the network, this interface will
+coerce all outgoing requests into WSGI, and call into your application directly.
+
+## Core API client
+
+You can also now test your project by interacting with it using the `coreapi`
+client library.
+
+    # Fetch the API schema
+    client = CoreAPIClient()
+    schema = client.get('http://testserver/schema/')
+
+    # Create a new organisation
+    params = {'name': 'MegaCorp', 'status': 'active'}
+    client.action(schema, ['organisations', 'create'], params)
+
+    # Ensure that the organisation exists in the listing
+    data = client.action(schema, ['organisations', 'list'])
+    assert(len(data) == 1)
+    assert(data == [{'name': 'MegaCorp', 'status': 'active'}])
+
+Again, this will call directly into the application using the WSGI interface,
+rather than making actual network calls.
+
+This is a good option if you are planning for clients to mainly interact with
+your API using the `coreapi` client library, or some other auto-generated client.
+
+## Live tests
+
+One interesting aspect of both the `requests` client and the `coreapi` client
+is that they allow you to write tests in such a way that they can also be made
+to run against a live service.
+
+By switching the WSGI based client instances to actual instances of `requests.Session`
+or `coreapi.Client` you can have the test cases make actual network calls.
+
+Being able to write test cases that can exercise your staging or production
+environment is a powerful tool. However in order to do this, you'll need to pay
+close attention to how you handle setup and teardown to ensure a strict isolation
+of test data from other live or staging data.
+
+## RAML support
+
+We now have preliminary support for [RAML documentation generation][django-rest-raml].
+
+![RAML Example][raml-image]
+
+Further work on the encoding and documentation generation is planned, in order to
+make features such as the 'Try it now' support available at a later date.
+
+This work also now means that you can use the Core API client libraries to interact
+with APIs that expose a RAML specification. The [RAML codec][raml-codec] gives some examples of
+interacting with the Spotify API in this way.
+
+## Validation codes
+
+Exceptions raised by REST framework now include short code identifiers.
+When used together with our customizable error handling, this now allows you to
+modify the style of API error messages.
+
+As an example, this allows for the following style of error responses:
+
+    {
+        "message": "You do not have permission to perform this action.",
+        "code": "permission_denied"
+    }
+
+This is particularly useful with validation errors, which use appropriate
+codes to identify differing kinds of failure...
+
+    {
+        "name": {"message": "This field is required.", "code": "required"},
+        "age": {"message": "A valid integer is required.", "code": "invalid"}
+    }
+
+## Client upload & download support
+
+The Python `coreapi` client library and the Core API command line tool both
+now fully support file [uploads][uploads] and [downloads][downloads].
+
+---
+
+## Deprecations
+
+### Generating schemas from Router
+
+The router arguments for generating a schema view, such as `schema_title`,
+are now pending deprecation.
+
+Instead of using `DefaultRouter(schema_title='Example API')`, you should use
+the `get_schema_view()` function, and include the view in your URL conf.
+
+Make sure to include the view before your router urls. For example:
+
+    from rest_framework.schemas import get_schema_view
+    from my_project.routers import router
+
+    schema_view = get_schema_view(title='Example API')
+
+    urlpatterns = [
+        url('^$', schema_view),
+        url(r'^', include(router.urls)),
+    ]
+
+### Schema path representations
+
+The `'pk'` identifier in schema paths is now mapped onto the actually model field
+name by default. This will typically be `'id'`.
+
+This gives a better external representation for schemas, with less implementation
+detail being exposed. It also reflects the behaviour of using a ModelSerializer
+class with `fields = '__all__'`.
+
+You can revert to the previous behaviour by setting `'SCHEMA_COERCE_PATH_PK': False`
+in the REST framework settings.
+
+### Schema action name representations
+
+The internal `retrieve()` and `destroy()` method names are now coerced to an
+external representation of `read` and `delete`.
+
+You can revert to the previous behaviour by setting `'SCHEMA_COERCE_METHOD_NAMES': {}`
+in the REST framework settings.
+
+### DjangoFilterBackend
+
+The functionality of the built-in `DjangoFilterBackend` is now completely
+included by the `django-filter` package.
+
+You should change your imports and REST framework filter settings as follows:
+
+* `rest_framework.filters.DjangoFilterBackend` becomes `django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend`.
+* `rest_framework.filters.FilterSet` becomes `django_filters.rest_framework.FilterSet`.
+
+The existing imports will continue to work but are now pending deprecation.
+
+### CoreJSON media type
+
+The media type for `CoreJSON` is now `application/json+coreapi`, rather than
+the previous `application/vnd.json+coreapi`. This brings it more into line with
+other custom media types, such as those used by Swagger and RAML.
+
+The clients currently accept either media type. The old style-media type will
+be deprecated at a later date.
+
+### ModelSerializer 'fields' and 'exclude'
+
+ModelSerializer and HyperlinkedModelSerializer must include either a fields
+option, or an exclude option. The fields = '__all__' shortcut may be used to
+explicitly include all fields.
+
+Failing to set either `fields` or `exclude` raised a pending deprecation warning
+in version 3.3 and raised a deprecation warning in 3.4. Its usage is now mandatory.
