+Rules
+=====
+
+Undefined argument default (#1144)
+----------------------------------
+
+New rule E0932 ``undefined-argument-default``.
+
+It is technically possible to define keyword argument default with empty string::
+
+    *** Keywords ***
+    My Keyword
+    [Arguments]    ${argument_name}=
+
+This syntax is unclear and it is better to explicitly state that the valeu is empty using built-in variable::
+
+    *** Keywords ***
+    My Keyword
+    [Arguments]    ${argument_name}=${EMPTY}
+
+New rule catches all occurrences where argument have empty default value and reports it.
+
+Undefined argument value (#1149)
+---------------------------------
+
+New rule E0933 ``undefined-argument-value``.
+
+Similarly to ``undefined-argument-default``, it is possible to pass value to argument with empty string::
+
+    Keyword Call    argument_name=
+
+It is recommended to use explicit value instead::
+
+    Keyword Call    argument_name=${EMPTY}
+
+Fixes
+=====
+
+Relative imports in custom rule folder (#1122)
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Custom rules directory is now automatically added to python path. It allows to use relative imports inside custom
+rules module.
