 Changelog
 ---------
 
+Siyavula Fork - 2018-06-04
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Chaussette has NO support for actually transferring the arguments captured (under `arguments`) to
+the webserver even though it appears exactly what it is intended for. This fork has been
+specifically tested with Waitress but the change should work for other backends as well. This fork
+assumes that those arguments (while still optional) are keyword arguments and then passes them in
+when creating the server.
+
+
 1.3.0 - 2015-06-01
