+  Moved some important public constants from :py:mod:`configmix` into
+  the :py:mod:`configmix.constants` module.
 
-      All YAML load functions got a new optional keyword `strict` to detect
-      and prevent duplicate keys within a single YAML document.
-
-      The top-level load function also understands this flag and provides it
-      to low-level-loaders that understand it.

-
-      Do not set "root", "self" and "here" variables any more. The old
-      behaviour hindered proper automatic configuration on some PyPy
-      configurations when using `genapplib`.
-
-      Only the INI-parser did set this variables automatically.
