+
+Working with line-ends special symbols LF/CRLF
+----------------------------------------------
+
+*New in Cookiecutter 2.0*
+
+Before version 2.0 Cookiecutter silently used system line end character.
+LF for POSIX and CRLF for Windows. Since version 2.0 this behaviour changed
+and now can be forced at template level.
+
+By default Cookiecutter now check every file at render stage and use same line
+end as in source. This allow template developers to have both types of files in
+the same template. Developers should correctly configure their `.gitattributes`
+file to avoid line-end character overwrite by git.
+
+Special template variable `_new_lines` was added in Cookiecutter 2.0.
+Acceptable variables: `'\n\r'` for CRLF and `'\n'` for POSIX.
+
+Here is example how to force line endings to CRLF on any deployment::
+
+    {
+        "project_slug": "sample",
+        "_new_lines": "\n\r"
+    }
