 What's new
 ==========
 
+Improvements to the "Image serve view"
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`using_images_outside_wagtail`
+
+This view, which is used for requesting image thumbnails from an external app, has had some improvements made to it in this release.
+
+ - A "redirect" action has been added which will redirect the user to where the resized image is hosted rather than serving it from the app. This may be beneficial for performance if the images are hosted externally (eg, S3)
+ - It now takes an optional extra path component which can be used for appending a filename to the end of the URL
+ - The key is now configurable on the view so you don't have to use your project's ``SECRET_KEY``
+ - It's been refactored into a class based view and you can now create multiple serve views with different image models and/or keys
