+## 2.0.4 (June 22, 2021)
+
+### Notable changes
+
+* Simplified the workflow and improved overall performance by running lesser in the process.
+* Added [`table`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/table) module to display summaries (Initially used [`cli-table`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cli-table) for its small size, however the issues in the repo concerns me in its display quality in other OS. Hence, chosen `table` module despite its package size is much bigger)
+* Added table display for security report
+* Added table display of exceptions from `.nsprc` file
+* Cleaned up test cases structure to be more straight forward and easier to maintain
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+* Renamed `--ignore -i` flag to `--exclude -x` for better clarity.
+* Removed `--display-full` flag that was used to ignore the maximum display limit. Now with the summary table it would be unlikely to display large size of information.
+* Removed `--display-notes` flag that was used for displaying exception notes. Now it is included in the exceptions table.
+* Renamed `ignore` field to `active` in `.nsprc` file for better clarity.
+* Renamed `reason` field to `notes` in `.nsprc` file for better clarity.
+
+### Others
+
+* Removed logging of flags used in the command
+* Added NPM audit into the CI pipeline
+* Added `.github/FUNDING.yml`
+* Updated `README.md`
+
+### Closed issues
+
+* [#20](https://github.com/jeemok/better-npm-audit/issues/20) Provide more output when parsing exceptions file
+* [#27](https://github.com/jeemok/better-npm-audit/issues/27) Hide excepted vulnerabilities from output

 # Better NPM Audit
 
-Made to allow skipping certain vulnerabilities, and any extra handling that are not supported by the default `npm audit` in the future.
+The goal of this project is to help to reshape npm audit into the way the community would like, by the community itself. Giving another option for everyone and encourage more people to do security audits.
