         CELERY_LOADER = "myapp.loaders.Loader"
 
+* ``CELERY_TASK_RESULT_EXPIRES`` now defaults to 1 day.
+
+    Previous default setting was to expire in 5 days.
+
+*  AMQP backend: Don't use different values for `auto_delete`.
+
+    This bug became visible with RabbitMQ 1.8.0, which no longer
+    allows conflicting declarations for the auto_delete and durable settings.
+
+    If you've already used celery with this backend chances are you
+    have to delete the previous declaration::
+
+        $ PYTHONPATH=. camqadm exchange.delete celeryresults
+
+* Now uses pickle instead of cPickle on Python versions <= 2.5
+
+    cPikle is broken in Python <= 2.5.
+
+    It unsafely and incorrectly uses relative instead of absolute imports,
+    so e.g::
+
+          exceptions.KeyError
+
+    becomes::
+
+          celery.exceptions.KeyError
+
+    Your best choice is to upgrade to Python 2.6,
+    as while the pure pickle version has worse performance,
+    it is the only safe option for older Python versions.
