-What's this
+Deprecating encoding option
------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+encoding and unicode_errors options are deprecated.
+
+In case of packer, use UTF-8 always.  Storing other than UTF-8 is not recommended.
+
+For backward compatibility, you can use ``use_bin_type=False`` and pack ``bytes``
+object into msgpack raw type.
+
+In case of unpacker, there is new ``raw_as_bytes`` option.  It is ``True`` by default
+for backward compatibility, but it is changed to ``False`` in near future.
+You can use ``raw_as_bytes=False`` instead of ``encoding='utf-8'``.
+
+Planned backward incompatible changes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When msgpack 1.0, I planning these breaking changes:
+
+* packer and unpacker: Remove ``encoding`` and ``unicode_errors`` option.
+* packer: Change default of ``use_bin_type`` option from False to True.
+* unpacker: Change default of ``raw_as_bytes`` option from True to False.
+* unpacker: Reduce all ``max_xxx_len`` options for typical usage.
+* unpacker: Remove ``write_bytes`` option from all methods.
+
+To avoid these breaking changes breaks your application, please:
+
+* Don't use deprecated options.
+* Pass ``use_bin_type`` and ``raw_as_bytes`` options explicitly.
+* If your application handle large (>1MB) data, specify ``max_xxx_len`` options too.
