The changelog for this release is:

### Added

* A plugin for performing DNS challenges using dynamic DNS updates as
defined
  in RFC 2316. This plugin is packaged separately from Certbot and is
available
  at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certbot-dns-rfc2136. It supports
Python 2.6,
  2.7, and 3.3+. At this time, there isn't a good way to install this plugin
  when using certbot-auto, but this should change in the near future.
* Plugins for performing DNS challenges for the providers
  [DNS Made Easy](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certbot-dns-dnsmadeeasy) and
  [LuaDNS](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certbot-dns-luadns). These
plugins are
  packaged separately from Certbot and support Python 2.7 and 3.3+.
Currently,
  there isn't a good way to install these plugins when using certbot-auto,
  but that should change soon.
* Support for performing TLS-SNI-01 challenges when using the manual plugin.
* Automatic detection of Arch Linux in the Apache plugin providing better
  default settings for the plugin.

### Changed

* The text of the interactive question about whether a redirect from HTTP to
  HTTPS should be added by Certbot has been rewritten to better explain the
  choices to the user.
* Simplified HTTP challenge instructions in the manual plugin.

### Fixed

* Problems performing a dry run when using the Nginx plugin have been fixed.
* Resolved an issue where certbot-dns-digitalocean's test suite would
sometimes
  fail when ran using Python 3.
* On some systems, previous versions of certbot-auto would error out with a
  message about a missing hash for setuptools. This has been fixed.
* A bug where Certbot would sometimes not print a space at the end of an
  interactive prompt has been resolved.
* Nonfatal tracebacks are no longer shown in rare cases where Certbot
  encounters an exception trying to close its TCP connection with the ACME
  server.
