 ### Unreleased Features
 * Changed the LRU caching algorithm so that referenced blocks (by iterators) are never evicted
 * By default we now optimize the compilation for the compilation platform (using -march=native). If you want to build portable binary, use 'PORTABLE=1' before the make command.
+* We now allow level-compaction to place files in different paths by
+  specifying them in db_paths along with the target_size.
+  Lower numbered levels will be placed earlier in the db_paths and higher
+  numbered levels will be placed later in the db_paths vector.
 
 ### 3.9.0 (12/8/2014)

 * New API LinkFile added to Env. If you implement your own Env class, an
   implementation of the API LinkFile will have to be provided.
 * MemTableRep takes MemTableAllocator instead of Arena
-* We now allow level-compaction to place files in different paths by
-  specifying them in db_paths along with the target_size.

 ### Improvements
 * RocksDBLite library now becomes smaller and will be compiled with -fno-exceptions flag.
