 ## Upgrading
 
+ * Removed `SiteTree.MetaTitle` and `SiteTree.MetaKeywords` since they are irrelevant in terms of SEO ([1](http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/title-tag), [2](http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/keywords-meta-tag-in-web-search/)) and general page informancy
  * Deprecated `Profiler` class, use third-party solutions like [xhprof](https://github.com/facebook/xhprof/)
  * Removed defunct or unnecessary debug GET parameters: 
    `debug_profile`, `debug_memory`, `profile_trace`, `debug_javascript`, `debug_behaviour`
