+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+Please consult the README for details on this major version release.
+
+* The default checksum strategy for uploads has changed from None to "auto" ([#1383](https://github.com/googleapis/python-storage/issues/1383))
+* The default checksum strategy for downloads has changed from "md5" to "auto" ([#1383](https://github.com/googleapis/python-storage/issues/1383))

+* Deprecated argument "text_mode" has been removed ([#1379](https://github.com/googleapis/python-storage/issues/1379))
+* Blob.download_to_filename() now deletes the empty destination file on a 404 ([#1394](https://github.com/googleapis/python-storage/pull/1394))
