 Release Notes
 -------------
+* 0.3.2 fixed https://github.com/fxa/uritemplate-js/issues/11 Problems with older IE versions. Thanks to anozaki!
 * 0.3.1 fixed https://github.com/fxa/uritemplate-js/issues/10 thank you, Paul-Martin!
 * 0.3.0 introduced UriTemplateError as exception, so the interface changed from string to UriTemplateError (as the rfc suggested)
 * 0.2.4 fixed double encoding according [RubenVerborgh] and some Prefix modifiers bugs
