 The _AppiumDriver_ class contains all methods shared by iOS and Android.
 _IOSDriver_ and _AndroidDriver_ both extend _AppiumDriver_ and provide more methods, and specific implementations for some methods.
 
+In the same way, _IOSElement_ and _AndroidElement_ both are subclasses of _MobileElement_

+You can instantiate and AppiumDriver with the class of element you want commands to return. For example
+`AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver;`
+and now when you call the Find functions, they return elements of class MobileElement.
+You can also instantiate drivers like this, to make things simpler:
+`AndroidDriver<AndroidElement> driver = new AndroidDriver(.......`

 ##Changelog##
 
+*3.0.0*
+- AppiumDriver class is now a Generic. This allows us to return elements of class MobileElement (and its subclasses) instead of always returning WebElements and requiring users to cast to MobileElement. See https://github.com/appium/java-client/pull/182
+- Full set of Android KeyEvents added.
+- Selenium client version updated to 2.46
+- PageObject enhancements
+- Junit dependency removed
+
 *2.2.0*
 - Added new TouchAction methods for LongPress, on an element, at x,y coordinates, or at an offset from within an element
 - SwipeElementDirection changed. Read the documentation, it's now smarter about how/where to swipe
