+## More flexible filtering
+
+The `FILTER_BACKEND` setting has moved to pending deprecation, in favor of a `DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS` setting that takes a *list* of filter backend classes, instead of a single filter backend class.
+
+The generic view `filter_backend` attribute has also been moved to pending deprecation in favor of a `filter_backends` setting.
+
+Being able to specify multiple filters will allow for more flexible, powerful behavior. New filter classes to handle searching and ordering of results are planned to be released shortly.
