 # Changelog
 
+## 2.0.4
+
+- Fixed #179: sending empty string with utf8 serializer throws an exception
+
+## 2.0.3
+
+- Fixed #172: plugin does not respect user installed CA certs on Android
+
+#### Important information
+We've changed a default behavior on Android. User installed CA certs are respected now.
+If you don't want this for your needs, you can switch back to old behavior by setting SSL cert mode to `legacy`.
+
+## 2.0.2
+
+- Fixed #142: Plugin affected by REDoS Issue of tough-cookie
+- Fixed #157: Arguments are double URL-encoded on "downloadFile" (thanks TheZopo)
+- Fixed #164: Arguments are double URL-encoded on "head" (thanks ath0mas)
+
+## 2.0.1
+
+- Fixed #136: Content-Type header non-overwritable on browser platform
+
 ## 2.0.0
 
 - Feature #103: implement HTTP SSL cert modes

 Set SSL Cert handling mode, being one of the following values:
 
 * `default`: default SSL cert handling using system's CA certs
+* `legacy`: use legacy default behavior (< 2.0.3), excluding user installed CA certs (only for Android)
 * `nocheck`: disable SSL cert checking, trusting all certs (meant to be used only for testing purposes)
 * `pinned`: trust only provided certs
 
 To use SSL pinning you must include at least one `.cer` SSL certificate in your app project.  You can pin to your server certificate or to one of the issuing CA certificates. Include your certificate in the `www/certificates` folder. All `.cer` files found there will be loaded automatically.
 
-:warning: Your certificate must be DER encoded! If you only have a PEM enoceded certificate see this [stackoverflow answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16583429/3182729). You want to convert it to a DER encoded certificate with a .cer extension.
