 0.1.2 (Current version)
 -----------------------
 
+API changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
 * :py:func:`impax.csvv.get_gammas` has been deprecated. Use :py:func:`impax.read_csvv` instead (:issue:`37`)
 * :py:meth:`~impax.csvv.Gammas._prep_gammas` has been removed, and :py:meth:`~impax.csvv.Gammas.sample` now
   takes no arguments and returns a sample by default. Seeding the random number generator is now left up to
   the user (:issue:`36`)
+
+
+Bug fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
 * fix py3k compatability issues (:issue:`39`)
 * fix travis status icon in README
+* add tests for :py:func:`impax.mins._minimize_polynomial`, fix major math errors causing a failure to find minima in :py:mod:`impax.mins` module, and clarify documentation (:issue:`58`)
