 * GIS-specific lookups have been refactored to use the
   :class:`django.db.models.Lookup` API.
 
+* The ``CacheClass`` shim has been removed from all cache backends.
+  These aliases were provided for backwards compatibility with Django 1.3.
+  If you are still using them, please update your project to use the real
