+        <releaseNotes>3.0.0
+  • Tons of bug fixes.
+  • Improved the way PortableRest handles parameters being sent over the wire.
   • Added constructor overload that accepts a custom HttpMessageHandler for all requests the HttpClient makes.
   • Added support for using the AsyncOAuth NuGet package for leveraging OAuth in your requests.
   • Added support for specifying the JsonSerializerSettings on a client-wide or per-request basis, with request-specific settings taking precedence.
   • Enhanced the SendAsync method to pass exceptions thrown by the serializer into the RestResponse.
-  • The serializer now strips namespaces from XML payloads before attempting to de-serialize. You may need to update your objects to [DataContract(Namespace="")].
+  • The serializer now strips namespaces from XML payloads before attempting to de-serialize. You may need to update your objects to [DataContract(Namespace="")] if you use XML-based Rest services.
 
 2.5
   • New generic and non-generic SendAsync() methods that return a RestResponse with more detailed information.
