  * **[BUGFIX]** Fixed login password prompt issue on windows (#485).
  * **[BUGFIX]** Fixed unicode user-agent issue (#483).
  * **[BUGFIX]** Fix duplicate request issue with comment and submission streams
    (#501).
+ * **[BUGFIX]** Stopped :meth:`praw.objects.Redditor.friend` from raising
+   LoginRequired when using OAuth.
+ * **[BUGFIX]** Stopped a json-parsing error from occuring in cases where
+   reddit's response to a request was an empty string. :meth:`request_json`
+   will now simply return that empty string.
  * **[CHANGE]** Added messages to all PRAW exceptions (#491).
+ * **[CHANGE]** Made it easier to send JSON dumps instead of form-encoded data
+   for http requests. Some api-v1 endpoints require the request body to be in
+   the json format.
+ * **[CHANGE]** Moved and deprecated
+   :meth:`praw.objects.LoggedInRedditor.get_friends` to
+   :class:`praw.AuthenticatedReddit`, leaving a pointer in its place.
+   Previously, `get_friends` was difficult to access because the only instance
+   of `LoggedInRedditor` was the reddit session's `user` attribute, which is
+   only instantiated if the user has the "identity" scope. By moving
+   `get_friends` to the reddit session, it can be used without having to
+   manipulate a :class:`praw.objects.Redditor` intsance's class.
+ * **[FEATURE]** Added support for adding "notes" to your friends. Users with
+   reddit Gold can set the ``note`` parameter of 
+   :meth:`praw.objects.Redditor.friend`. 300 character max enforced by reddit.
+ * **[FEATURE]** New :meth:`praw.objects.Redditor.get_friend_info` to see info
+   about one of your friends. Includes their name, ID, when you added them, and
+   if you have reddit Gold, your note about them.

Redditor.friend() raises LoginRequired through OAuth; doesn't use suggested URL
I decided to try playing around with reddit's Friend system today, and found that Redditor.friend() raises a LoginRequired when used through OAuth.

First, I found that internal.py [chooses a restrict_access decorator with scope=None](https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/c05bab70ff4b26967ca0b114436e0edad24aa6aa/praw/internal.py#L89) causing [all these checks](https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/31d4984fd66930dbc886dfedb27c835dc6609262/praw/decorators.py#L329-L342) to fail until it finally gets to `elif login` and raises the exception. I tried changing that to scope='subscribers', but this causes an OAuthException with the message *"praw.errors.OAuthException: Bearer realm="reddit", error="invalid_request" on url https://oauth.reddit.com/api/friend/.json"*

&nbsp;

At this point I looked at the [api docs](https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/oauth#POST_api_friend) and saw that they actually want you to use [PUT /api/v1/me/friends/username](https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/oauth#PUT_api_v1_me_friends_%7Busername%7D) instead (ostensibly so that /api/friend will one day control everything except adding friends). I tried this:

    @restrict_access(scope='subscribe')
    def friend(self):
        # friend_v1 = 'api/v1/me/friends/%s'
        url = self.reddit_session.config['friend_v1'] % self.name
        data = {'name': self.name, 'note': 'u'}
        method = 'PUT'
        self.reddit_session.evict(self.reddit_session.config['friends'])
        self.reddit_session.request_json(url, data=data, method=method)

But I'm still getting HTTPException 400 errors.

&nbsp;

I'd love to make a pull request, but I'm not sure what to try next. Any insight?
