-## Unreleased
+## [1.3.0]
 
 Better support for using composite primary keys:
 
 * New enum in this crate: `tables::PrimaryKey`
-    * Single(string): `let sng_pk: PrimaryKey = "hello world".into()`
-    * Composite(BTreeMap<String, String>: `let cmp_pk: PrimaryKey = [("evt_tx_hash","hello".to_string()),("evt_index","world".to_string())].into()`
+    * `Single(String)`: `let single: PrimaryKey = "hello world".into()`
+    * `Composite(BTreeMap<String, String>)`: `let composite: PrimaryKey = [("evt_tx_hash","hello".to_string()),("evt_index","world".to_string())].into()`
 
 Breaking changes:
 
-* The `Rows` struct now requires pks to be of that new `PrimaryKey` type.
-* create_row(), update_row() and delete_row() now require a `PrimaryKey` instead of a String.
+* The `Rows.pks` field is not public anymore.
+* `create_row()`, `update_row()` and `delete_row()` now require a `PrimaryKey` instead of a `String`. This should work directly with a `String`, `&String` or `&str`.
