+## [4.1.0] 2021-05-26
+Version 4.1.0 of the IDS Information Model
+
+### Added
+
+* `ids:ConfigurationManager` can refer to the configured App Resources, Brokers, App Stores and Clearing Houses represented as catalogs.
+* `ids:AppRoute` can refer to Broker and Clearing House instances (via `ids:appRouteClearingHouse` and `ids:appRouteBroker`), which are used for publishing and logging related communication.
+* `ids:GenericEndpoint` for non-IDS endpoints.
+* Catalog subclasses for Broker, AppStore, AppResource and ClearingHouse instances. Check the [Catalog.ttl](model/infrastructure/Catalog.ttl) class for details.
+* Additional properties for Participants for identification and classification, e.g., legal name, business identifier, legal form and VAT ID (addressing requirements to participants in Gaia-X)
+* Additional properties for `ids:DataApp` and `ids:AppRepresentation` to express supported usage policies as well as app-related runtime, configuration and deployment information.
+
+### Changed:
+* `ids:ParticipantRequestMessage` and `ids:ParticipantResponseMessage` are deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Using `ids:DescriptionRequestMessage` and `ids:DescriptionReponseMessage` is advised.
+
+
+### Removed
+* `idsm:` metamodel annotations, which were used to annotate cardinalities of properties. The property cardinalities and restrictions are now exclusively represented via the corresponding SHACL shapes found in the [testing subdirectory](testing/)
