@tseaver this is the current set of release notes

-   Implementing client in Pub/Sub, deprecating old
    implicit environment detection.
-   Fixing bug in `Blob.upload_from_file` where `os.fstat` is
    only called if the buffer object is a file.
-   Removing restriction of equality only filtering for
    `__key__` queries in datastore; also cleaning up filter
    checking in `Query` constructor.
-   Adding ability to sign URL from GAE.
-   Making `_BlobIterator` accumulate prefixes so that a
    storage list call that makes multiple requests can
    aggregate all the prefixes encountered.
-   Adding `namespace` to `datastore.Dataset` class (now
    called `datastore.Client`).
-   Adding HTTP method and URL to messages printed for
    exceptions caused by failed requests.
-   Renaming `datastore.Dataset` class as `datastore.Client`.
-   Removing `datastore.api` module and moving functionality
    into `datastore.Client`.
-   Implementing `storage.Client` class.
-   Removing `storage.api` module and moving functionality
    into `storage.Client`.

I'd like to wrap up #944 and #952 before cutting a release.

[tseaver]

Given the new features (clients, etc.) and the backward-incompatibilities, we should be bumping the version to something like 0.7.

[dhermes]

Good call. I'm going to try to wrap up client in storage first, then will bump it.

@dhermes I updated the notes:

• Use imperative voice for verbs.
• Add PR #s.
• Place bullets on single lines for markdown compatibility.

[tseaver]

Also, I dropped any mention of the ongoing BigQuery design activity. I think we could even create a release branch for 0.7 and delete the BQ docs entirely for it.

[dhermes]

@tseaver I don't like the idea of a release branch. If we want a custom branch, it should be for the BQ docs.

[tseaver]

We can ditch the release branch notion, but shouldn't mention BQ in the release notes (there is nothing of interest for a non-committer there).

[dhermes]

OK Cool
