@@ -6,8 +6,17 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.htm
 
 ### Added
 
+- `HostShortCircuit` variant for `WasmError`
+- moved a lot of memory handling to the `WasmerEnv` handling
+- added a simple `MODULE_CACHE` as a status
+
 ### Changed
 
+- Uses wasmer 1+
+- Uses latest holonix
+- Externs follow (ptr, len) -> ptrlen as (u32, u32) -> u64
+- all guest functions are `#[inline(always)]`
