+## [3.0.3] - 2018-01-08
+
+### Changed
+- Fixed issue where `Content-type` headers with directives (e.g. `Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8`) are processed correctly
+
 ## [3.0.2] - 2018-01-03
+
+### Changed
 - Added URI matching tests into `EndpointTestCases`. Updating to this version will result in existing passing tests using said trait being skipped until good and bad URI matches are added into the test case.
