+# Release 1.9.1
+* Fixed bug related to `base`
+* Made some additions to ds_grid and ds_map
+
+# Release 1.9.0
+### Lambda Scripts
+You can now define inline scripts, also known as lambda functions or anonymous functions. The lambdas can capture variables defined in the surrounding scope. They can alos be assigned to variables, and those variables can be called like scripts. To define a lambda, use the following syntax inside of a a script: `script() {  }`. Note the lack of a script name. For more examples, check out the [test file](https://github.com/mystborn/TaffyScript/blob/master/Samples/TestSuite/Tests/lambda.tfs). In addition, you can also use global and instance scripts as first class objects. In other words, you can assign hem to variables (instance scripts will be bound to the instance), and the variables can be called like scripts.
+
+### Reworked Object Generation
+This feature isn't really a big change to TaffyScript code. It does provide a nice increase to runtime code and provides a base for future improvements. However any .NET code interfacing with TS will notice a large change. All TaffyScript types now get generated into real .NET objects. Certain parts are still strange, such as all methods being static, but it will make using these objects be a more natural experience.

+
+# Release 1.7.0
+### Temporarily Removed `with`; Permanently Changed it's Functionality
+TaffyScript instances are no longer bound to an id. Therefore, the way with originally worked is no longer valid. Removing id's from instances will make them work much faster (depending on the operations, sometimes up to a 300% increase), and allow them to be garbage collected. This means you no longer have to call `.destroy()` on every instance. It also makes the next major change much easier to implement.
+
+### Import C# Objects
+You can now import a c# object to be usable from within TaffyScript. When imported, a special wrapper class is created that allows the object to be used as any other TS object. There are two import modes: explicit and automatic. In the eplicit mode you layout what methods, fields, properties, and constructor to import. In the automatic mode, all methods/properties/fields that have valid TS types are imported, as well as the first valid constructor. Until the wiki page is created you can check out [this](https://github.com/mystborn/TaffyScript/blob/master/Samples/TestSuite/Tests/object_import.tfs) page which shows some example imports.
+
+### Object Indexers
+_This functionality is still under consideration and is highly subject to change._
+
+You can now define indexers on objects. This functionality was created to support accessors on c# objects. To define an accessor, simply define a combination of `get` and `set` events on an object. Then you can call those methods using array access syntax. The values inside the brackets will be passed to the respective method.
+
+### Deprecated ds_* Scripts
+These scripts were removed in favor of imported c# objects. The new c# objects are ds_list, ds_map, and ds_grid. More information will be added to the wiki soon.
+
+### Full Changelog
+* Made Binders more efficient
+* Fixed excluding files
+* Made all `ISyntaxElement`s have a `Text` property. Means less casting and more clear code during compilation phase.
+* Better errors when using an addition operator.
+* Added an `ITsInstance` interface that all instances must derive from
+* Made `TsInstance` inherit from `ITsInstance`.
+* Changed TsScript first argument to be `ITsInstance`.
+* Changed `TsDelegate` `Target` to be of type `ITsInstance`. 
+* All WeakMethod first arguments have been changed to use `ITsInstance` instead of `TsInstance`.
+* Removed `InstanceEnumerator` as it no longer functioned.
+* Temporarily removed variable_instance_* scripts.
+* Made `TsObject` wrap `ITsInstance`.
+* Added some timer related methods to the UnitTest library.
+* Added MemberAccessException.
+* Implemented types for ds_list, ds_map, and ds_grid.
+* Added the ability to import c# objects.
+* Temporarily removed `with` block.
+* Added the ability to natively import any type that inherits from `ITsInstance` in a fashion similar to importing `WeakMethod`s.
+* Allow objects to have indexer syntax with get and set scripts.
+* Fixed bug when resizing a 2d array.
+* Fully deprecated ds_* scripts
+* Removed indexer accessor tokens

 # TaffyScript
 ## What is TaffyScript?
-Taffy is a dynamic programming language based heavily off of Gamemaker language, 
-which is the scripting language used inside of the game engine Gamemaker. For more info, check out the [wiki](https://github.com/mystborn/TaffyScript/wiki).
+TaffyScript is a dynamic programming language designed to be embedded into .NET applications. The primary purpose of the language is to be used for implementing game logic, and for the easy addition of mod support. However, it can be used as a general purpose language if desired. Originally it was based off of the [GameMaker Language](https://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/001_gml%20language%20overview/), but it no longer bares much resemblance. For more info, check out the [wiki](https://github.com/mystborn/TaffyScript/wiki).
 
-_Psst. I've added something to the contributing section of this page. Please check it out._
+## Nuget
+Both the TaffyScript implementation and it's base class library are available via nuget:
+* https://www.nuget.org/packages/TaffyScript/
+* https://www.nuget.org/packages/TaffyScript.BCL/
+
+You can use these to use TaffyScript projects inside of .NET projects
+
+## Features
+* Built in C#
+* Compiles into a valid .NET assembly
+* Dynamic Typing
+* Does not use DLR
+* Accessable from existing .NET projects
+* Import external .NET methods and types
+* Basic Reflection
+
+## Sounds Great! How Can I Get it?
+You can now download a precompiled binary from the [releases](https://github.com/mystborn/TaffyScript/releases) page! Please note that TaffyScript is windows only. 
 
 ## Example Code
 ```cs
 script main {
-    show_debug_message("Hello, World!");
-    var user = new obj_user();
+    print("Hello, World!");
+    var user = new obj_user("Script");
+    print_user(user);
     user.name = "Taffy";
-    user.destroy();
-    show_debug_message("Closing...");
+    print_user(user);
+    print("Closing...");
+}
+
+script print_user(user) {
+    print("User: " + user.name);
 }
 
 object obj_user {
-    event create {
-        name = "";
+    script create(name) {
+        self.name = "";
     }
 
-    event destroy {
-        show_debug_message("Goodbye, " + name);
+    script greet {
+        print("Hello, " + name);
     }
 }
 
 // Output:
 // Hello World!
-// Goodbye, Taffy
+// User: Script
+// User: Taffy
 // Closing...

 ## Want to contribute?
-The easiest way to contibute is to look at issues with the `opinion wanted` label. These are issues asking about feature requests that I want some user input on. Otherwise, check out the contributing.ms file in the root of the repo. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
+Occasionally I'll add issues with the `opinion wanted` label. These are issues asking about new features or language changes that I want some additional feedback on. The easiest way to contribute is to comment on those.
+
+Alternatively, I have a very, _very_, rough draft of my plans for the language on [this](https://trello.com/b/suLDsBDJ/taffyscript) Trello board. If you want to pick anything up from that, it would certainly be a big help. If you have any further questions, you can ask me on Discord (I prefer this way, as I'm almost always online). My username is mystborn#0264. Alternatively, you can shoot me an email at ckramer017@gmail.com, but I don't check it as often as I should.
+
+## General Roadmap
+The following are some general things I'd like to add to the language at some point in the future. A slightly more detailed roadmap can be found on the [trello](https://trello.com/b/suLDsBDJ/taffyscript) page.
+
+* Documentation Website (High Priority)
+    * Just a general github pages site detailing how to use the language as well as major library documentation
+* Tests
+    * Currently the tests make sure certain things work, but a larger set of tests is needed to make sure things _break in the right way_.
+* Runtime Interpreter
+* Base Class Library
+    * The BCL is extremely barebones currently. For example, it doesn't have any file handling, date/time handling, or networking scripts.
