   as soon as possible before importing the rest of pyramid.

+- ``pserve --reload`` now uses the
+  `hupper <http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/hupper/en/latest/>`
+  library to monitor file changes. This comes with many improvements:
+
+  - If the `watchdog <http://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/>`_ package is
+    installed then monitoring will be done using inotify instead of
+    cpu and disk-intensive polling.
+
+  - The monitor is now a separate process that will not crash and starts up
+    before any of your code.
+
+  - The monitor will not restart the process after a crash until a file is
+    saved.
+
+  - The monitor works on windows.
+
+  - You can now trigger a reload manually from a pyramid view or any other
+    code via ``hupper.get_reloader().trigger_reload()``. Kind of neat.
+
+  - You can trigger a reload by issuing a ``SIGHUP`` to the monitor process.
