+* The `batch_size` argument to :py:meth:`Table.scan` is no longer propagated to
+  `Scan.setBatching()` at the Java side (inside the Thrift server). To influence
+  the `Scan.setBatching()` (which may split rows into partial rows) a new
+  `scan_batching` argument to :py:meth:`Table.scan` has been added. See `issue
+  #54 <https://github.com/wbolster/happybase/issues/54>`_, `issue #56
+  <https://github.com/wbolster/happybase/issues/56>`_, and the HBase docs for
+  `Scan.setBatching()` for more details.
