 - Removed `bulkUserLookup` (please use `lookupUser` instead), removed `getProfileImageUrl` (will be completely removed from Twitter API on May 7th, 2013)
 - Updated shortenUrl to actually work for those using it, but it is being deprecated since `requests` makes it easy for developers to implement their own url shortening in their app (see https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython/issues/184)
 - Twython Deprecation Warnings will now be seen in shell when using Python 2.7 and greater
+- Twython now takes ``ssl_verify`` parameter, defaults True. Set False if you're having development server issues
+- Removed internal ``_media_update`` function, we could have always just used ``self.post``
