+
+## Version 0.5.0
+
+This minor release completely overhauls the internals of Lumen by adding three new concepts:
+
+1. The `Pipeline` which encapsulates any data transformations and filtering applied to a table.
+2. `Variable` references which can be used to coordinate controls across a dashboard.
+3. `SQLTransform` components which allow pushing compute down to a SQL database.
+
+Additionally this release adds support for validating a specification without actually evaluating it and serializing all Lumen components to a spec.

+
+## Version 0.1.0
+
+This is the first public release of the Lumen project, which provides a framework to build dashboards from a simple yaml specification. It is designed to query information from any source, filter it in various ways and then provide views of that information, which can be anything from a simple indicator to a table or plot.
+
+For now the Lumen project is available only from conda and can be installed with `conda install -c pyviz/label/dev lumen`.
