 # Changelog
 
+## [0.3.0] - TODO
+### Fixes
+- Fixed a off-by-one issue with `StarRng::out_of_*`
+
+### Changes
+- merged `Epoch::assert_assertions` and `Epoch::assert_assertions_strict`
+- many fixes for `Epoch` behavior
+- `LNode`s now have a `LNodeKind`
+- `StarRng::index` was renamed to `index_slice`, and a `index_slice_mut` and new `index` function
+  were added
+- Redid the error system
+
+### Additions
+- Added `Epoch::suspend`
+- Optimization now compresses allocations
+- Added many primitive versions of `retro_` and `eval` functions

- This crate is still a WIP, but it currently can describe most combinational

+ operations. `starlight` lowers high level operations down into a DAG of
+ simple lookup tables, and also adds on temporal structs like `Loop`s. It can
+ optimize, evaluate, and retroactively change values in the `DAG` for various
+ purposes.
