+## 🚀 New Major Release (v0.1.2)
+Version 0.1.2 of **LinearBoost Classifier** is released. Here are the changes:
 
 - The codebase is refactored into a new structure.
+- SAMME.R algorithm is returned to the classifier.
 - Both SEFR and LinearBoostClassifier classes are refactored to fully adhere to Scikit-learn's conventions and API. Now, they are standard Scikit-learn estimators that can be used in Scikit-learn pipelines, grid search, etc.
 - Added unit tests (using pytest) to ensure the estimators adhere to Scikit-learn conventions.
 - Added fit_intercept parameter to SEFR similar to other linear estimators in Scikit-learn (e.g., LogisticRegression, LinearRegression, etc.).
