 Backward Incompatibilities
 ==========================
-- HCatalog no longer supports its own StorageDriver classes for data 
-  (de)serialization.  Instead it uses Hive's SerDe classes.
-- Rather than releasing rpms from HCatalog, we rely on the rpms provided by
-  Apache Bigtop.
-- The HCatalog binary distribution no longer includes Apache Hive.  We now
-  require that Hive first be installed.
-- The HCatalog source distribution no longer includes Apache Hive source.
-  It now pulls the required jars via maven.
-
+- HCatalog no longer publishes a monolithic jar with all classes. Instead,
+  per-submodule jars are published. This allows users to pull in just the
+  needed dependencies when integrating HCatalog with their system.
