- :doc:`URI Routing <general/routing>` changes include:
+ - Added possibility to route requests using HTTP verbs.
- Added possibility to route requests using callbacks.
- Added a new reserved route (*translate_uri_dashes*) to allow usage of dashes in the controller and method URI segments.
- Deprecated methods ``fetch_directory()``, ``fetch_class()`` and ``fetch_method()`` in favor of their respective public properties.

+Using HTTP verbs in routes
+==========================
+
+It is possible to use HTTP verbs (request method) to define your routing rules.
+This is particularly useful when building RESTful applications. You can use standard HTTP
+verbs (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH) or a custom one such (e.g. PURGE). HTTP verb rules
+are case-insensitive. All you need to do is to add the verb as an array key to your route.
+Example::
+
+ $route['products']['put'] = 'product/insert';
+
+In the above example, a PUT request to URI "products" would call the ``Product::insert()``
+controller method.
+
+::
+
+ $route['products/(:num)']['DELETE'] = 'product/delete/$1';
+
+A DELETE request to URL with "products" as first the segment and a number in the second will be
+mapped to the ``Product::delete()`` method, passing the numeric value as the first parameter.
+
+Using HTTP verbs is of course, optional.
