-# Version 0.4.0-rc.2 (Nov 30, 2018)
-
-## New Features
-
-This release includes the following new features:
-
-  * Introduced the [`SpaceHelmet`] security and privacy headers fairing.
-  * Private cookies are gated behind a `private-cookies` feature.
-  * Applications can launch without a working directory.
-  * `Option` and `Result` types can be used in `uri!` expressions.
-  * Added [`State::from()`] for constructing `State` values.
-
-[`SpaceHelmet`]: https://api.rocket.rs/v0.4/rocket_contrib/helmet/index.html
-[`State::from()`]: https://api.rocket.rs/v0.4/rocket/struct.State.html#method.from
-
-## Breaking Changes
-
-This release includes several breaking changes. These changes are listed below
-along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing
-applications when applicable.
-
-  * **Minimum required nightly is `2018-11-23`.**
-
-    Update to `nightly-2018-11-23` or later before updating to `rc.2`.
-
-  * **[`UriDisplay`] is parameterized by a [`UriPart`].**
-
-    When implementing `UriDisplay`, decide whether the value is to be displayed
-    in the path part, query part, or both of a URI. Implement `UriDisplay<Path>`
-    and/or `UriDisplay<Query>` appropriately.
-
-  * **[`UriDisplay`] derive was removed in favor of [`UriDisplayQuery`] and
-    [`UriDisplayPath`].**
-
-    To mimic the previous behavior, derive `UriDisplayQuery`.
-
-  * **[`Config::root()`] returns an `Option<&Path>` instead of an `&Path`.**
-
-    For the previous behavior, use `config.root().unwrap()`.
-
-  * **[`Config`] constructors return a `Config` instead of a `Result<Config>`.**
-
-  * **`ConfigError::BadCWD`, `Config.config_path` were removed.**

-[`Config::root()`]: https://api.rocket.rs/v0.4/rocket/struct.Config.html#method.root
-
-## Fixes
-
-Several issues in the first release candidate were addressed in this release:
-
-  * Characters in URIs are properly percent-encoded ([#808]).
-  * Generated variables are properly spanned and prefixed ([#817], [#839]).
-  * [`Client`] regained `Sync` ([#814]).

-
-## General Improvements
-
-In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following improvements:
-
-  * Console coloring uses default terminal colors instead of white.
-  * Console coloring is consistent across all messages.
-  * `i128` and `u128` now implement [`FromParam`], [`FromFormValue`].
-  * [`Form`] and [`LenientForm`] can be publicly constructed.
-  * Added ZIP (`application/zip`) as a known media type.
-  * The `base64` dependency was updated to `0.10`.
-  * Private, hidden `http` types are no longer visible in the rustdocs.
