 ## v0.2
-### v0.2.11 (Unreleased)
+### v0.2.11 (0201-)
+#### Features
+- fif can now traverse symlinks with the `-f`/`--follow-symlinks` flag
+- Extensions are no longer mandatory - running fif without `-e` or `-E` will scan all files, regardless of extension
+  (files without extensions are still skipped unless the -S flag is used)
+#### Bugfixes
 - Fixed compilation on big endian 32-bit architectures (see
   [here]https://github.com/bodil/smartstring/blob/v0.2.6/src/config.rs#L101-L103 for why that was a problem in the first
   place)
-- Fixed broken tests
+- Fixed broken tests for the [`infer`] backend
+#### Other
 - Better mime type detection:
   - Consider "some/x-thing" and "some/thing" to be identical
   - Use a patched version of mime_guess (which took a while to make 0u0;) with many more extension<->type mappings
