@@ -204,14 +204,20 @@ Improvements:
 
 ### 0.38.0
 
-#### 8-bit Lion, Load/Store 8-bit layers
+#### 8-bit Lion, Load/Store 8-bit Models directly from/to HF Hub
 
 Features:
  - Support for 32 and 8-bit Lion has been added. Thank you @lucidrains
  - Support for serialization of Linear8bitLt layers (LLM.int8()). This allows to store and load 8-bit weights directly from the HuggingFace Hub. Thank you @myrab
+ - New bug report features `python -m bitsandbytes` now gives extensive debugging details to debug CUDA setup failures.
 
 Bug fixes:
  - Fixed a bug where some bitsandbytes methods failed in a model-parallel setup on multiple GPUs. Thank you @tonylins
+ - Fixed a bug where cudart.so libraries could not be found in newer PyTorch releases.
+
+Improvements:
+ - Improved the CUDA Setup procedure by doing a more extensive search for CUDA libraries
 
 Deprecated:
  - Devices with compute capability 3.0 (GTX 700s, K10) and 3.2 (Tegra K1, Jetson TK1) are now deprecated and support will be removed in 0.39.0.
+ - Support for CUDA 10.0 and 10.2 will be removed in bitsandbytes 0.39.0
