 # CHANGELOG
 
-## Next Release
+## v1.0.0 (2023-09-05)
 
 - Completely overhauls all routes to follow RESTful practices
 - Paginates and styles the comments on each post page
 - Added prompts before deletion on the admin page for categories and posts
 - Swap `updated_at` to `created_at` timestamps for posts and comments
 - Removes the unusable "Remember Me" checkbox on the login page
+- Updated routes
+  - Removes the `/blog` route
+  - Changes the `/posts/{category}` route to `/posts/category/{category}` to help distinguish what the slug is
+  - Adds a new `/posts/user/{user}` route so you can filter posts by author
+  - Adds a new `/posts/{user}/{slug}` route that works the same as the now legacy `/{user}/{slug}`
 - Fixes a 403 issue for the default image preview when editing a post
 - Fixes a bug that didn't properly validate reCAPTCHA on user registration
 - Fixes the styling of tables to properly show the theme colors (admin panel)
