+Empty History Ranges
+====================
+
+A number of magics that take history ranges can now be used with an empty
+range. These magics are:
+
+ * ``%save``
+ * ``%load``
+ * ``%pastebin``
+ * ``%pycat``
+
+Using them this way will make them take the history of the current session up
+to the point of the magic call (such that the magic itself will not be
+included).
+
+Therefore it is now possible to save the whole history to a file using simple
+``%save <filename>``, load and edit it using ``%load`` (makes for a nice usage
+when followed with :kbd:`F2`), send it to dpaste.org using ``%pastebin``, or
+view the whole thing syntax-highlighted with a single ``%pycat``.
