 # History
 
+## 1.7.0 - 2023-08-22
+
+This release adds 3 new transformers:
+
+1. `UniformEncoder` - A categorical and boolean transformer that converts the column into a uniform distribution.
+2. `OrderedUniformEncoder` - The same as above, but the order for the categories can be specified, changing which range in the uniform distribution each category belongs to.
+3. `IDGenerator`- A text transformer that drops the input column during transform and returns IDs during reverse transform. The IDs all take the form \<prefix>\<number>\<suffix> and can be configured with a custom prefix, suffix and starting point.
+
+Additionally, the `AnonymizedFaker` is enhanced to support the text sdtype. 
+
+### Deprecations
+
+* The `get_input_sdtype` method is being deprecated in favor of `get_supported_sdtypes`.
+
