 # Changelog
 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 
+## v2.1.0 -  2022-06-07  - new evaluation metrics and improved training
+
+### general:
+* new evaluation metrics, IOA and MNMB
+* advanced train options for early stopping
+* reduced execution time by refactoring
+
+### new features:
+* uncertainty estimation of MSE is now applied for each season separately (#374)
+* added different configurations of early stopping to use either last trained or best epoch (#378)
+* train monitoring plots now add a star for best epoch when using early stopping (#367)
+* new evaluation metric index of agreement, IOA (#376)
+* new evaluation metric modified normalised mean bias, MNMB (#380)
+* new plot available that shows temporal evolution of MSE for each station (#381)
+
+### technical:
+* reduced loading of forecast path from data store (#328)
+* bug fix for not catched error during transformation (#385)
+* bug fix for data handler with climate and fir filter leading to calculate transformation always with fir filter (#387)
+* improved duration for latex report creation at end of preprocessing (#388)
+* enhanced speed for make prediction in postprocessing (#389)
+* fix to always create version badge from version and not from tag name (#382)
