+YANG Tools
+==========
+
+Overview
+========
+
+YANG Tools provides a set of libraries to deal with YANG models and data modeled using them.
+
+Behavior/Feature Changes
+========================
+YANG parser will no longer take into account ``extension`` statements it does not recognize
+through the appropriate support class. This may affect tools relying on our previous misguided
+attempts to interpret their meaning.
+
+YANG parser's memory efficiency has been improved by about 15% on service-provider-grade device
+models.
+
+New Features
+============
+No new features.
+
+Deprecated Features
+===================
+Code generation plugin APIs for ``yang-maven-plugin`` contained in the ``yang-maven-plugin-spi``
+artifact are deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. Their replacement live
+in maven-agnostic ``plugin-generator-api``.
