 # Rojo Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+* Added fallback method for when an Instance can't be synced through normal means ([#1030])
+ 	This should make it possible to sync `MeshParts` and `Unions`!
+
+ 	The fallback involves deleting and recreating Instances. This will break
+ 	properties that reference them that Rojo does not know about, so be weary.
+
+* Add auto-reconnect and improve UX for sync reminders ([#1096])
+* Add support for syncing `yml` and `yaml` files (behaves similar to JSON and TOML) ([#1093])
+* Fixed colors of Table diff ([#1084])
+* Fixed `sourcemap` command outputting paths with OS-specific path separators ([#1085])
+* Fixed nil -> nil properties showing up as failing to sync in plugin's patch visualizer ([#1081])
+* Changed the background of the server's in-browser UI to be gray instead of white ([#1080])
+* Fixed `Auto Connect Playtest Server` no longer functioning due to Roblox change ([#1066])
+* Added an update indicator to the version header when a new version of the plugin is available. ([#1069])
+* Added `--absolute` flag to the sourcemap subcommand, which will emit absolute paths instead of relative paths. ([#1092])
+* Fixed applying `gameId` and `placeId` before initial sync was accepted ([#1104])
