 # Release Notes
 
-## v0.2.0 (Unreleased)
-
-- Add a cmake option that allows downloading/using xtensor development version
-  ({issue}`37`).
+## v0.2.0 (9 October 2023)
+
+A complete re-write of Fastscapelib with brand new features and API (note: the
+API of the previous version has been mostly removed). Some highlights:
+
+- A flexible grid system, including 1D profile grid, 2D raster grid (with
+  support of diagonals vs. non-diagonals connectivity) and 2D triangular mesh
+- Full support of looped (periodic) boundary conditions for uniform rectangular
+  grids
+- Flexible flow routing using a "flow graph" and "flow operators"
+- Support for both single direction and multiple direction flow (grid-agnostic
+  implementation)
+- Efficient resolution of closed depressions in the topography while routing the
+  flow paths, based either on explicit computation of a graph of basins or on
+  the priority flood algorithm (grid-agnostic implementation)
+- The current flow graph implementation graph based on fixed-size arrays is
+  extensible to alternative representations (e.g., sparse matrix, linked-lists)
+- First-class C++ and Python APIs
+- Detailed documentation (examples, user-guide, API reference, etc.)
+
+Thanks to the contributors to this release: Benoît Bovy, Adrien Delsalle,
+Guillaume Cordonnier and Hannah Sophia Davies. Thanks also to Johan Mabille and
+QuantStack (https://quantstack.net/) for their contribution and advice on the
+design of the library.
