+Changelog
+=========
+
+0.5.0 (2015-10-10)
+------------------
+
+- Add release script. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]
+
+- Refactor to both simplify codepath as well as follow PEP8 standards.
+  [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]
+
+- Retry 3 times when the connection times out. [Mathijs Jonker]
+
+- Made unicode output defalut. [Kirill Grushetsky]
+
+- Import alphabetised. [Kirill Grushetsky]
+
+- Preserve Unicode characters in the output file. [Kirill Grushetsky]
+
+  Added option to preserve Unicode characters in the output file
+
+- Josegonzales/python-github-backup#12 Added backup of labels and
+  milestones. [aensley]
+
+- Fixed indent. [Mathijs Jonker]
+
+- Skip unitialized repo's. [mjonker-embed]
+
+  These gave me errors which caused mails from crontab.
+
+- Added prefer-ssh. [mjonker-embed]
+
+  Was needed for my back-up setup, code includes this but readme wasn't updated
+
+- Retry API requests which failed due to rate-limiting. [Chris Adams]
+
+  This allows operation to continue, albeit at a slower pace,
+  if you have enough data to trigger the API rate limits
+
+- Logging_subprocess: always log when a command fails. [Chris Adams]
+
+  Previously git clones could fail without any indication
+  unless you edited the source to change `logger=None` to use
+  a configured logger.
+
+  Now a non-zero return code will always output a message to
+  stderr and will display the executed command so it can be
+  rerun for troubleshooting.
+
+
+- Switch to using ssh_url. [Chris Adams]
+
+  The previous commit used the wrong URL for a private repo. This was
+  masked by the lack of error loging in logging_subprocess (which will be
+  in a separate branch)
+
+
+- Add an option to prefer checkouts over SSH. [Chris Adams]
+
+  This is really useful with private repos to avoid being nagged
+  for credentials for every repository
+
+
+- Add pull request support. [Kevin Laude]
+
+  Back up reporitory pull requests by passing the --include-pulls
+  argument. Pull requests are saved to
+  repositories/<repository name>/pulls/<pull request number>.json. Include
+  the --pull-request-comments argument to add review comments to the pull
+  request backup and pass the --pull-request-commits argument to add
+  commits to the pull request backup.
+
+  Pull requests are automatically backed up when the --all argument is
+  uesd.
+
+
+- Add GitHub Enterprise support. [Kevin Laude]
+
+  Pass the -H or --github-host argument with a GitHub Enterprise hostname
+  to backup from that GitHub enterprise host. If no argument is passed
+  then back up from github.com.
+
+
+0.2.0 (2014-09-22)
+------------------
+
+- Add support for retrieving repositories. Closes #1. [Jose Diaz-
