+What's new in the next version of Tornado
+=========================================
+
+In Progress
+-----------
+
+* `.WSGIContainer` now calls the iterable's ``close()`` method even if
+  an error is raised, in compliance with the spec.
+* Fixed an incorrect error message when handler methods return a value
+  other than None or a Future.
+* `.xhtml_escape` now escapes apostrophes as well.
+* `.Subprocess` no longer leaks file descriptors if `subprocess.Popen` fails.
+* `.IOLoop` now frees callback objects earlier, reducing memory usage
+  while idle.
+* `.FacebookGraphMixin` has been updated to use the current Facebook login
+  URL, which saves a redirect.
