+# About this release
+
+This is the `aesophia` compiler version 2.0.0. The main changes compared to version 1.2.0 are:
+
+* Add `Crypto.ecverify` to the compiler.
+* Add `Crypto.sha3`, `Crypto.blake2`, `Crypto.sha256`, `String.blake2` and
+  `String.sha256` to the compiler.
+* Add the `bits` type for working with bit fields in Sophia.
+* Use native bit shift operations in builtin functions, reducing gas cost.
+* Add Namespaces to Sophia in order to simplify using library contracts, etc.
+* Simplify calldata creation - instead of passing a compiled contract, simply
+  pass a (stubbed) contract string.
+* Add a missig type check on the `init` function - detects programmer errors earlier.
+* Improve type checking of `record` fields - generates more understandable error messages.
+* Improved, more coherent, error messages.
+* Add the ACI (Aeternity Contract Interface) generator.
