+S3 File Handling
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+pandas now uses `s3fs <http://s3fs.readthedocs.io/>`_ for handling S3 connections. This shouldn't break
+any code. However, since s3fs is not a required dependency, you will need to install it separately (like boto
+in prior versions of pandas) (:issue:`11915`).
+
+.. _whatsnew_0200.api:
 
 - ``CParserError`` has been renamed to ``ParserError`` in ``pd.read_csv`` and will be removed in the future (:issue:`12665`)
 - ``SparseArray.cumsum()`` and ``SparseSeries.cumsum()`` will now always return ``SparseArray`` and ``SparseSeries`` respectively (:issue:`12855`)
-- ``CParserError`` has been renamed to ``ParserError`` in ``pd.read_csv`` and will be removed in the future (:issue:`12665`)
