+## Version 4.1
+
+
+### Features
+
+[#77 PropertyMetadata should cache attributes](https://github.com/TortugaResearch/Tortuga.Anchor/issues/77)
+
+All attributes are now being cached by the `PropertyMetadata`.
+
+We still have dedicated attribute lists for performance senstive areas like validation.
+
+[#78 Expose the PropertyInfo class from the PropertyMetadata class](https://github.com/TortugaResearch/Tortuga.Anchor/issues/78)
+
+This is basically an 'esacpe hatch' for when someone needs additional information not exposed via the `PropertyMetadata`.
+
+[#74 ConstructorMetadataCollection needs a DefaultConstructor property](https://github.com/TortugaResearch/Tortuga.Anchor/issues/74)
+
+We often need to grab the default constructor. A lot of code in Chain duplicates this search, which is silly because the `ConstructorMetadataCollection` already knows that the constructor exists.
+
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+[#76 Test attribute inheritance on properties](https://github.com/TortugaResearch/Tortuga.Anchor/issues/76)
+
+If a property is virtual, and overriden by a subclass, the attributes on the base class's property were not being acknowledged up by the subclass.
+
+[#70 Column attribute doesn't handle missing column name](https://github.com/TortugaResearch/Tortuga.Anchor/issues/70)
+
+It is possible to construct a `Column` attribute in a way where it doesn't have a column name. This happens when you need to override another column-related value.
+
+
+
+## Version 4.0
+
+**Breaking Change** `PropertyMetadata.CanRead` and `PropertyMetadata.CanWrite` were incorrectly returning true for protected properties. It has been fixed to only return true for properties that are actually public. #61 
+
+To determine if you can read or write to protected/private properties, use one of:
+
+ * `CanReadRestricted`
+ * `CanReadIndexedAndRestricted`
+ * `CanWriteRestricted`
+ * `CanWriteIndexedAndRestricted`
+
+To actually perform the read or write, use `InvokeGet` and `InvokeSet`.
+
+`ClassMetadata.ColumnsFor` has been affected by this change.
+
+**Feature** A `MetadataCache.Clone` method has been added. The purpose of this is to make it easier to implement a clone method on a class. #28 
+
+**Feature** CollectionUtilities.BatchAsSegments is a lightweight LINQ batcher. #36
+
+In order to avoid memory allocations, this uses a `ReadOnlyListSegment` struct. 
+
+For more information on these changes, see these blog posts.
