**Changes**:
- [195](https://github.com/alecthomas/voluptuous/pull/195):
`Range` raises `RangeInvalid` when testing `math.nan`.
- [215](https://github.com/alecthomas/voluptuous/pull/215):
`{}` and `[]` now always evaluate as is, instead of as any dict or any list.
To specify a free-form list, use `list` instead of `[]`. To specify a
free-form dict, use `dict` instead of `Schema({}, extra=ALLOW_EXTRA)`.

Change the encoding of keys in error messages from Unicode to UTF-8.

- [249](https://github.com/alecthomas/voluptuous/pull/249):
Update documentation.
- [262](https://github.com/alecthomas/voluptuous/pull/262):
Fix a performance issue of exponential complexity where all of the dict keys were matched against all keys in the schema.
This resulted in O(n*m) complexity where n is the number of keys in the dict being validated and m is the number of keys in the schema.
The fix ensures that each key in the dict is matched against the relevant schema keys only. It now works in O(n).
- [266](https://github.com/alecthomas/voluptuous/pull/266):
Remove setuptools as a dependency.
