+======================
+
+Release: 2021-10-19 (rc1)
+
+* Add ``multistatement=True`` option. You can disable multi statement. (#500).
+* Remove unnecessary bytes encoder which is remained for Django 1.11
+  compatibility (#490).
+* Deprecate ``passwd`` and ``db`` keyword. Use ``password`` and ``database``
+  instead. (#488).
+* Windows: Binary wheels are built with MariaDB Connector/C 3.2.4. (#508)
+* ``set_character_set()`` sends ``SET NAMES`` query always. This means
+  all new connections send it too. This solves compatibility issues
+  when server and client library are different version. (#509)
+* Remove ``escape()`` and ``escape_string()`` from ``MySQLdb`` package.
+  (#511)
+* Add Python 3.10 support and drop Python 3.5 support.
