 Bugs Fixed
 ==========
 
+In release 0.5.0 the wrong edge mode was used for the following three
+deprecated modes: ``ppd``, ``sp1``, and ``per``.  All deprecated edge mode
+names are now correctly converted to the corresponding new names.
+
+One-dimensional discrete wavelet transforms did not properly respect the
+``axis`` argument for complex-valued data.  Prior to this release, the last
+axis was always transformed for arrays with complex dtype.  This fix affects
+``dwt``, ``idwt``, ``wavedec``, ``waverec``.
