* The new async/await keywords in Python 3.5 are supported. TODO: say more.
* The new async/await keywords in Python 3.5 are supported. In most cases,
``async def`` can be used in place of the ``@gen.coroutine`` decorator.
Inside a function defined with ``async def``, use ``await`` instead of
``yield`` to wait on an asynchronous operation. Coroutines defined with
async/await will be faster than those defined with ``@gen.coroutine`` and
``yield``, but do not support some features including `.Callback`/`.Wait` or
the ability to yield a Twisted ``Deferred``.

* Fixed an issue with the autoreload command-line wrapper in which
imports would be incorrectly interpreted as relative.

`tornado.gen`

* `.WaitIterator` now supports the ``async for`` statement on Python 3.5.

`tornado.httputil`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* `.HTTPHeaders` can now be pickled and unpickled.

`tornado.ioloop`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* ``IOLoop(make_current=True)`` now works as intended instead
of raising an exception.
* The Twisted and asyncio IOLoop implementations now clear
``current()`` when they exit, like the standard IOLoops.

present; for other encodings `.load_translations` has an ``encoding``
parameter.

`tornado.locks`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* `.Lock` and `.Semaphore` now support the ``async with`` statement on
Python 3.5.

`tornado.options`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Dashes and underscores are now fully interchangeable in option names.

`tornado.queues`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* `.Queue` now supports the ``async with`` statement on Python 3.5.

`tornado.template`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* `tornado.template.ParseError` now includes the filename in addition to
line number.
* Whitespace handling has become more configurable. The `.Loader`
constructor now has a ``whitespace`` argument, there is a new
``template_whitespace`` `.Application` setting, and there is a new
``{% whitespace %}`` template directive. All of these options take
a mode name defined in the `tornado.template.filter_whitespace` function.
The default mode is ``single``, which is the same behavior as prior
versions of Tornado.

`tornado.testing`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* `.ExpectLog` objects now have a boolean ``logged_stack`` attribute to
make it easier to test whether an exception stack trace was logged.

`tornado.web`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* The hard limit of 4000 bytes per outgoing header has been removed.
* `.StaticFileHandler` returns the correct ``Content-Type`` for files
with ``.gz``, ``.bz2``, and ``.xz`` extensions.
* Responses smaller than 1000 bytes will no longer be compressed.
* The default gzip compression level is now 6 (was 9).
