   hang on an otherwise ordinary termination.
 * Changed logging level to "INFO" on cases where the taskgraph was not
   precalculated since it's an expected path of execution in ``TaskGraph``.
+* Adding a ``hardlink_allowed`` parameter to ``add_task`` that allows the
+  attempt to hardlink a file in a case where a ``copy_artifact=True`` may
+  permit one. This will save on disk space as well as computation time
+  if large files are not needed to copy.
+* Adding a ``store_result`` flag to ``add_task`` that conditionally stores
+  the ``func`` result in the database for later ``.get``. This was added to
+  guard against return types that were not picklable and would otherwise
+  cause an exception when being executed normally.
 * Fixed issue that would cause the logger thread to continue reporting status
   after all tasks were complete and the graph was closed.
