+Feel free to search/open an issue if something is missing or confusing from the changelog, since many things have been in flux.
+
+## TODO
+
+- moved widgets to `github.com/gizak/termui/widgets`
+- rewrote widgets (check examples and code)
+- rewrote grid
+  - grids are instantiated locally instead of through `termui.Body`
+  - grids can be nested
+  - changed grid layout mechanism
+    - columns and rows can be arbitrarily nested
+    - column and row size is now specified as a ratio of the available space
+- `Cell`s now contain a `Style` which holds a `Fg`, `Bg`, and `Modifier`
+- Change `Bufferer` interface to `Drawable`
+  - Add `GetRect` and `SetRect` methods to control widget sizing
+  - Change `Buffer` method to `Draw`
+    - `Draw` takes a `Buffer` and draws to it instead of returning a new `Buffer`
+- Refactored `Theme`
+  - `Theme` is now a large struct which holds the default `Styles` of everything
+- Combined `TermWidth` and `TermHeight` functions into `TerminalDimensions`
+- Added `Canvas` which allows for drawing braille lines to a `Buffer`
+- Refactored `Block`
+- Refactored `Buffer` methods
+- Set `termbox-go` backend to 256 colors by default
+- Decremented color numbers by 1 to match xterm colors
+- Changed text parsing
+  - style items changed from `fg-color` to `fg:color`
+  - added mod item like `mod:reverse`
+
 ## 18/11/29

 - Move Tabpane from termui/extra to termui and rename it to TabPane
