  ([issue #245](https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/pull/245))

- Global variables referenced by functions pickled by cloudpickle are now
  unpickled in a new and isolated namespace scoped by the CloudPickler
  instance. This restores the (previously untested) behavior of cloudpickle
  prior to changes done in 0.5.4 for functions defined in the `__main__`
  module, and 0.6.0/1 for other dynamic functions.

- Stop using the deprecated `imp` module under Python 3.
  ([issue #207](https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/issues/207))

- Fixed pickling issue with singleton types `NoneType`, `type(...)` and
  `type(NotImplemented)` ([issue #209](https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/issues/209))


0.5.6
=====

- Ensure that unpickling a locally defined function that accesses the global
  variables of a module does not reset the values of the global variables if
  they are already initialized.
  ([issue #187](https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/issues/187))


0.5.5
=====

- Fixed inconsistent version in `cloudpickle.__version__`.

=====

- Fixed a regression: `AttributeError` when loading pickles that hold a
  reference to a dynamically defined class from the `__main__` module.
  ([issue #131]( https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/issues/131)).

- Make it possible to pickle classes and functions defined in faulty
  modules that raise an exception when trying to look-up their attributes
  by name.


0.5.1
=====

- Fixed `cloudpickle.__version__`.

0.5.0
=====

- Use `pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL` by default.

0.4.1
=====

  Most notably, this affected dynamic [namedtuples](https://docs.python.org/2/library/collections.html#namedtuple-factory-function-for-tuples-with-named-fields)
  in Python 2. (https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/pull/113)
- Cloudpickle now preserves the `__module__` attribute of functions (https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle/pull/118/).
