+# New Version (v2.9.1)
+
+## New packages added
+- **AOSP** : 1
+- **Asus** : 2
+- **Google** : 1
+- **Carriers** : 3 (AT&T)
+- **OnePlus**: 1
+- **Pending**: 24
+- **Samsung** : 9
+- **Xiaomi** : 1
+
+## Bugfixes
+- Bash version check not working as expected (#60)
+- Debloating/restoring not working if the script was run from the recovery
+- Package name typo (!3) (thanks @maximilian.overmeyer!)
+- "pm: command not found" when disabling packages (Android 7 [Nougat] and below) (#78)
+
+## Miscellaneous
+- Documentation improvement/update for many apps.
+- UI/UX improvement for the recovery version of the script
+
+
+# New Version (v2.9)
+
+**Note:** The `debloat_script.sh` is now in maintenance mode and won't receive any more features. The focus is on the developement of a GUI.
+
+### Magisk module and root support for Android 10+
+Root users can now systemlessly debloat their device. The script will create a flashable Magisk zip you'll need to flash from **TWRP** or **Magisk Manager** (recommended). Once installed the module will, on boot, replace the APKs folders with an empty folder (only containing a `.replace` file). 
+
+Systemless debloat is the only solution for Android 10+ users because *system* can't be mounted in read-write anymore.
+
+## New packages added
+- **Samsung** : 5 (thanks @j0taz)
+
+## Bugfixes
+- **Debloated packages (non root) reappear after a reboot (#48)**
+- Bad apks names when using root features (parsing issue)
+- Connection preferences settings won't open (AOSP list, Pixel 4a / Android 11) (#49)
+- Impossible to use a non-root feature after having used a root feature
+
+# Miscellaneous
+- App data is now cleared (`pm clear $package`) before root debloat
+
+# Hotfix (v2.8.4)
+
+- Error when remounting `/system` as read-only after a restore/debloat action (#46)
+- Package search feature now displays APK path along with the package name
+- The APK was not backed-up when you use the manual root debloat feature (`1 - debloat a package`)
+- `deleted_apks.txt` not found
+- Mounting error on Android 9+ (only fixed for Android 9)
+
+# IMPORTANT NOTE
+**Root features do currently not work for Android 10+**. Android 10 has introduced a new dynamic partitioning system
+which, in short, prevent to easily mount system filesystem in read-write (use of EXT4 dedup filesystem, which is not writable). 
+Fortunately, the awesome @topjohnwu (developer of Magisk) found a solution. I'll try to update my script to use the Magisk magic.
+
+# Hotfix (v2.8.3)
+
+- Fix a bug (bad variable name) which basically broke all the non root debloat/restore features.
+
+# Hotfix (v2.8.2)
+
+- Flashable debloat zip not removing anything (oversight on my part after debugging for the first hotfix)
+
 # Hotfix (v2.8.1)
 
 - Flashable zip was broken. I reworked all the generation logic. It is much simpler and correctly works now.
