This release includes the following breaking changes, which are documented in detail in the README.rst file.

As a brief summary, the most broadly relevant changes are:

• Applications that currently import exceptions from the google-resumable-media library (google.resumable_media) should now import those exceptions from google.cloud.storage.exceptions.
• Applications that use positional arguments extensively should verify that the removal of "num_retries" from upload and download methods has not disrupted their argument order.
