 3.1.0 (2018-03-21)
 ==================
 
+Welcome to aiohttp 3.1 release.
+
+This is an *incremental* release, fully backward compatible with *aiohttp 3.0*.
+
+But we have added several new features.
+
+The most visible one is ``app.add_routes()`` (an alias for existing
+``app.router.add_routes()``. The addition is very important because
+all *aiohttp* docs now uses ``app.add_routes()`` call in code
+snippets. All your existing code still do register routes / resource
+without any warning but you've got the idea for a favorite way: noisy
+``app.router.add_get()`` is replaced by ``app.add_routes()``.
+
+The library does not make a preference between decorators::
+
+   routes = web.RouteTableDef()
+
+   @routes.get('/')
+   async def hello(request):
+       return web.Response(text="Hello, world")
+
+   app.add_routes(routes)
+
+and route tables as a list::
+
+   async def hello(request):
+       return web.Response(text="Hello, world")
+
+   app.add_routes([web.get('/', hello)])
+
+Both ways are equal, user may decide basing on own code taste.
+
+Also we have a lot of minor features, bug fixes and documentation
+updates, see below.
