+
+Oh look! A new release of Hilbish! This time is the v2.1 release,
+with a small amount of features and mainly documentation changes and
+bug fixes.
+
+# Documentation
+There have been a few documentation enhancements for this release.
+This includes:
+- Adding the return types for all functions that need them
+- Documenting Hilbish types like job objects and timers properly.
+They now have a separate heading and listing of properties and methods.
+- Fixing outdated documentation
+
+# Features
+## Sinks
+A major addition is the new "sink" type for commanders to write
+their output to. This was the solution to pipes and other shell
+operators not working with builtins. If you wrote a commander
+and made it `print`, use `sinks.out:write` instead.
+
+This is also documented at the [commander docs](./docs/api/commander).
+
+## `doc` command
+Since API documentation has been moved to an API folder and also includes
+interfaces, a change has been made to get the module name from the
+passed from the requested page. This means that
+`doc api hilbish hilbish.jobs` is now shortened to `doc api hilbish.jobs`
+
+# Bug Fixes
+Small release, small amount of bug fixes. Even though, this is the main
+part of this release.
+
+## Completions and Symlinks
+Previously Hilbish completions did not work with symlinks properly.
+This can be tested in the previous 2.0 release by attempting to
+path complete to `/bin`. Since this is (or can be?) a symlink to
+`/usr/bin`, it was not marked as a directory and therefore did not
+automatically add the ending slash. This has been fixed.
+
+## Segfaults
+I found that when I updated my terminal of choice ([Tym]) for the new
+daemon feature, Hilbish would sometimes segfault on startup. This is due
+to it getting a resize event on startup while `bait` was not initialized
+yet.
+
+## API Fixes
+- The `hilbish.which` function works with aliases.
+- `hilbish.completion.files` and `hilbish.completion.bins` will no longer
+cause a panic with all empty arguments passed.
+
+# Next Release
+Stay tuned for the v2.2 release, which will have a bigger set of features
+and maybe some more bug fixes!
