+- Consolidation of ``AcceptEncoding`` header handling into a single class.

+- ``webob.acceptparse.AcceptEncoding``, methods ``best_match``, ``quality``, and
+  ``__contains__`` are no longer deprecated and are consistent

+- Remove ``AcceptEncodingValidHeader``, ``AcceptEncodingNoHeader`` and
+  ``AcceptEncodingInvalidHeader``. These classes are consolidated into
+  ``AcceptEncoding`` with a ``header_state`` attribute for users that need
+  to know the state of the header.
+  See https://github.com/Pylons/webob/pull/462
+
+- Remove previously-deprecated ``webob.acceptparse.AcceptEncoding.__iter__``.
+  See https://github.com/Pylons/webob/pull/462
+
+- ``webob.acceptparse.AcceptEncoding`` methods, ``best_match``, ``quality``,
+  and ``__contains__`` are now consistent with ``acceptable_offers``.
+
+  - A tuple can no longer be an offer containing server-side quality values.
+  - An offer will only match a ``*`` clause in a header if it does not match
+    any other clauses.
+  - The ``identity`` offer was not properly considered a match unless the
+    header explicitly it excluded via ``*;q=0`` or ``identity;q=0``.
