 So {{{response.headers}}} has been renamed to {{{response._headers}}}, and {{{HttpResponse}}} now supports containment checking directly. You should now use {{{if header in response}}} instead of {{{if header in response.headers}}}.

+== Template tag loading respects dotted notation ==
+
+In [6289], template tag loading was altered to respect dotted paths, just like Python imports. So
+{{{
+{% load foo.bar %}
+}}}
+will now look for a file {{{foo/bar.py}}} under one of your templatetag directories.
+
+Previously, anything before the final dot was ignored. If you were using this for any decorative purpose (at least one package was, it turns out), you have to remove any unwanted prefix.
