+sshyp v1.0.0
+
+The Polished Trotters Update
+
+This release brings 'sshyp' in line with the original goals of the project.
+As such, it is being crowned "v1.0.0", and is considered a stable base for future expansions.
+
+Features:
+
+- sshyp has been modified to run on Haiku, an open-source re-implementation of BeOS
+    ^ new package formats have been added for Haiku, FreeBSD, and Red Hat distributions (such as Fedora)
+- the entry format has been changed to support entries created in pass/password-store
+    ^ this change requires existing entry libraries to be converted - see the sshyp v1.0.0 release page on GitHub for a conversion script
+- majorly overhauled visual experience for sshyp
+    ^ this includes a new entry list, a new entry readout, colored output, ascii art, and more!
+- entries can now optionally be passed as arguments, directly
+    ^ as opposed to the user being prompted for an entry name after running a command
+
+Changes:
+
+- corrected outdated licensing and copyright information
+- 'if __name__=="__main__":' convention is now used
+- help screens have been overhauled
+- improved password generator to guarantee more secure results
+- fixed errors when trying to sync with a multi-word entry on the server
+- sshync now uses 'scp' (via the sftp protocol), rather than 'sftp'
+- rename function now properly allows for renaming folders
+- renaming an entry/folder will now properly delete the old entry/folder from the server
+- entry previews at the time of entry creation/editing no longer require entering the gpg password more times than necessary
+- the clipboard now automatically clears after 30 seconds
+- sshyp server no longer needs to create copies of its libraries in ~/
+- added more and improved existing exceptions
+- the lock file is now decrypted to /dev/null
+- ...and lots of minor (under the hood) changes!
