-# 1.0.0.3
+See also http://pvp.haskell.org/faq
 
-* Made performance more robust 
+# 1.1.0.0
+
+* `joinWith` has been removed ([#32](https://github.com/haskell/base64-bytestring/pull/32))
+* Bugfix: `decode` formerly allowed for padding chars to be interspersed in a valid base64-encoded string. This is now not the case, and it is fully spec-compliant as of [#31](https://github.com/haskell/base64-bytestring/pull/31)
+* The default behavior for Base64url `decode` is now to support arbitrary padding. If you need strict padded or unpadded decode semantics, use `decodePadded` or `decodeUnpadded`.
+* Added strict unpadded and padded decode functions for Base64url ([#30](https://github.com/haskell/base64-bytestring/pull/30))
+* Added unpadded encode for Base64url
+  ([#26](https://github.com/haskell/base64-bytestring/pull/26)).
+
+----
+
+### 1.0.0.3
+
+* Made performance more robust
   ([#27](https://github.com/haskell/base64-bytestring/pull/27)).
 * Improved documentation
   ([#23](https://github.com/haskell/base64-bytestring/pull/23)).
 * Improved the performance of decodeLenient a bit
   ([#21](https://github.com/haskell/base64-bytestring/pull/21)).
 
-# 1.0.0.2
+### 1.0.0.2
 
 * Fixed a write past allocated memory in joinWith (potential security
   issue).
 
-# 0.1.1.0 - 1.0.0.1
+## 0.1.1.0 - 1.0.0.1
 
 * Changelog not recorded for these versions.
 
-# 0.1.0.3
+### 0.1.0.3
 
 *  Fixed: wrong encoding table on big-endian systems.
 *  Fixed: too big indices in encoding table construction.
 
-# 0.1.0.2
+### 0.1.0.2
 
 *  Changelog not recorded up to this version.
