+<p>This release revamps smart pointer support for <code>std::shared_ptr</code> and <code>std::unique_ptr</code>.</p>
+<p>Rice now always creates wrapper classes for smart pointers under the <code>Std</code> module (e.g., <code>Std::SharedPtr≺MyClass≻</code>, <code>Std::UniquePtr≺MyClass≻</code>). These wrapper classes expose methods like <code>empty?</code>, <code>get</code>, <code>swap</code>, and for shared_ptr, <code>use_count</code>. Methods defined on the managed type are automatically forwarded to the wrapper class using Ruby's <code>Forwardable</code> module.</p>
+<p>This change is backwards compatible for Ruby code but not C++ code. If you implemented your own Smart Pointer wrapper then please read the Smart Pointer documentation for more information.</p>
