-## New in Version 1.0.0
-* First release following the fork from [m0mchil/poclbm](https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm). ([diff](https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/compare/master...JustinTArthur:v1.0.0))
-* Migrated code to Python 3. Requires Python 3.5+
-* Fix kernel compilation error in clang-based OpenCL compilers like macOS OpenCL and
-AMD ROCm.
-* Fix for not submitting shares to stratum servers reporting pdifficulty when server-side pdifficulty is below 1. By [luke-jr](https://github.com/luke-jr).
-* Minor performance improvements

 ## Economy
 At the time of writing, on-chip implementations of the Bitcoin mining algorithm will outperform this
 software in both time and joules expended. Under most conditions, mining blocks on a Bitcoin chain where
 on-chip implementations are competing would be at a tremendous waste of expended resources.
 
+## New in Version 1.1.0
+This release focused on supporting the `getblocktemplate` call proposed in
+BIP 22 and BIP 23 and implemented by Bitcoin Core and btcd. This finally allows
+mining without a pool if you supply an address to mine coins to at the command
+line.
+
+HTTP work sources now default to using `getblocktemplate` instead of `getwork`.
+This feature is new and might have bugs that could lead to loss of potential
+mining rewards.
+
+It looks like the work sourcing threads run into i/o issues occasionally due to
+using the not-thread-safe Python http lib. I don't aim to address this as most
+of the threaded communication ought to be completely replaced by an event runner
+like asyncio or trio at some point.
+
+Thanks to @momchil for the original `getwork` code, @luke-jr @sipa and @vsergeev
+for helping me understand getblocktemplate.
