 Bug Fixes:
+* For plugin developers: Hot Deployment works as expected. When a plugin is re-compiled the OSGi runtime shuts it (and only it!) down and redeploys it automatically. All dependencies to other plugins are handled by the framework (#272, #274).
 * Pressing the Return key inside a (multi-line) text area, e.g. the CKEditor's source view, does not trigger the OK button (#206, #288).
 * The default Topic Renderer works with hidden many composite child topics (#283).
 
-Development Framework:
+Plugin Development Framework:
 * The core service now processes update requests where aggreagted composite child topics are involved (#30).
-* Simplified plugin development:
-    * A plugin's custom renderers are picked up automatically (#284) [19aca819]
+* Simplified plugin development (more Convention Over Configuration):
+    * A plugin's REST resources and Provider classes are registered automatically. Plugins must no longer provide (JAX-RS) Application classes (#272) [a39e39c1].
+    * All (JAX-RS) Provider classes are available to all plugins automatically [44d49e12].
+    * A plugin's client-side main file is picked up automatically (#276) [b30004d6].
+    * A plugin's custom renderers are picked up automatically (#284) [19aca819].
     * A plugin's CSS stylesheets are picked up automatically (#285) [2bee421c].
-    * All REST provider classes are available to all plugins automatically [44d49e12].
     * Plugin developers must no longer care about firing PRE_SEND events (#297).
     * A plugin is no longer required to have a main file (plugin.js). This is perfect for plugins whose only purpose is to provide custom renderers [3a4a0cbe].

 * Custom renderers:
     * New renderer type: Multi Renderer. A plugin can provide custom renderers for multi-value topics (cardinality "Many") (#270) [6c4d87ad][7fe0a806].
