+* Allow Element#store to accept an object containing several key/value pairs. (ZenCocoon, Andrew Dupont)
+
 * Change Element#retrieve to return the element itself (for chaining). (Andrew Dupont)
 
 * Add non-bubbling custom events. A new final argument to Element#fire defaults to `true`; pass `false` to prevent bubbling when firing a custom event. (Andrew Dupont)
