CHANGELOG

 1.1 (unreleased)
 ----------------
 
-- Nothing changed yet.
+**Backward incompatible changes.**
+
+- Download views and response now use file wrappers. Most logic around file
+  attributes, formerly in views, moved to wrappers.
+- Replaced DownloadView by PathDownloadView and StorageDownloadView. Use the
+  right one depending on the use case.

 Several views are provided to cover frequent use cases:
 
-* ``PathDownloadView`` when you have an absolute filename.
 * ``ObjectDownloadView`` when you have a model with a file field.
+* ``StorageDownloadView`` when you manage files in a storage.
+* ``PathDownloadView`` when you have an absolute filename on local filesystem.
