 ### Image renditions can now be prefetched
 
-When using a queryset to render a list of items with images, you can now make use of Django's built-in ``prefetch_related()`` queryset method to prefetch the renditions needed for rendering with a single extra query. For long lists of items, or where multiple renditions are used for each item, this can provide a significant boost to performance. This feature was developed by Andy Babic.
