+- When the WSGI app starts sending data to the output buffer, we now attempt to
+  send data directly to the socket. This avoids needing to wake up the main
+  thread to start sending data. Allowing faster transmission of the first byte.
+  See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/364
+
+  With thanks to Michael Merickel for being a great rubber ducky!
+
 - Add REQUEST_URI to the WSGI environment.
 
   REQUEST_URI is similar to ``request_uri`` in nginx. It is a string that
   contains the request path before separating the query string and
   decoding ``%``-escaped characters.

-Friendly Reminder

-
-This release still contains a variety of deprecation notices about defaults
-that can be set for a variety of options.
-
-Please note that this is your last warning, and you should update your
-configuration if you do NOT want to use the new defaults.
-
-See the arguments documentation page for all supported options, and pay
-attention to the warnings:

-Without further ado, here's a short list of great changes thanks to our

-Bugfixes/Features
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-- Fix a crash on startup when listening to multiple interfaces.
-  See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/332
-
-- Waitress no longer attempts to guess at what the ``server_name`` should be for
-  a listen socket, instead it always use a new adjustment/argument named
-  ``server_name``.
-
-  Please see the documentation for ``server_name`` in
-  https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/arguments.html and
-  see https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/329
-
-- Allow tasks to notice if the client disconnected.
-
-  This inserts a callable ``waitress.client_disconnected`` into the environment
-  that allows the task to check if the client disconnected while waiting for
-  the response at strategic points in the execution and to cancel the
-  operation.
-
-  It requires setting the new adjustment ``channel_request_lookahead`` to a value
-  larger than 0, which continues to read requests from a channel even if a
-  request is already being processed on that channel, up to the given count,
-  since a client disconnect is detected by reading from a readable socket and
-  receiving an empty result.
-
-  See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/310
-
-- Drop Python 2.7 and 3.5 support
-
-- The server now issues warning output when it there are enough open
-  connections (controlled by "connection_limit"), that it is no longer
-  accepting new connections. This situation was previously difficult to
-  diagnose.
-  See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/322
