+=========
+
+Enabling GDAL Python exceptions
+-------------------------------
+
+- QGIS now turns on exceptions in the osgeo.gdal, osgeo.ogr and osgeo.osr modules.
+  This may affect plugins that use the GDAL Python API. Typically gdal.Open,
+  gdal.OpenEx or ogr.Open() (non exclusive list) will now throw an exception
+  if the dataset cannot be opened.
