+# Release Notes
+
+## To Do
+Move most string literals to config.json or strings.json for ease of editing.
+Make construction of the `data` element easier for the createEmbeds functions.
+
+## v2.1
+Changing the method to search for and save GIFs for later reuse. Previously the bot simply sent a message containing the link to a GIF which Discord would display in the chat. However the new code uses Embeds to make the messages look prettier. These Embeds require a *direct* link to the GIF, which isn't very user friendly. Now you can search for a GIF and NodBot will DM you with results for you to browse before choosing the GIF you'd like to save, then name it.
+Generic bug squashing, sanitizing of inputs, setting up some configs for deployment on Heroku.
