 ## v0.3.11
 
+There has been much more progress than anticipated, and most features needed to reach `v0.4.1` have been filled in already.  
+This release is to make sure `vs` can properly use the newly supported syntax in its code and examples.  
+Subsequent milestones have been rescheduled, and next new branch `v0.4.x` will be mostly for consolidation, documentation and to incrementally improve the quality of code.  
+As such, I am splitting this release here, leaving the two leftover commands for `v0.3.13`.
+
 ### New features
 
 - [x] Introduced `include` to load more template files. Please, notice that checks to avoid circular dependencies are to be performed externally.
 - [ ] All the remaining prop-based commands.
+  - [x] `value`
+  - [x] `prop`
+  - [ ] `for`
+  - [ ] `for-prop`
 - [x] Loading the environment of a preprocessor is now possible via `load_env`.
+- [x] Improved handling of some expressions making them less verbose.
+- [x] Better (and colourful) logging!
 
 ### Bug fixing
 
 - Fixed several broken maths operations like `*`.
 
 ### Breaking changes
 
-The interface of `preprocessor` was changed one again to support the loader function. Minimal changes are expected downstream.
+The interface of `preprocessor` was changed once again to support the XML loader function.
