+# Release Notes for Nuts 3.0.2
+
+The latest 3.0.2 release for Nuts contains mainly fixes to the core and improvements to the documentation.
+
+* Add @lucmurer to the project maintainers (#42)
+* Add some diagrams describing the data flow through NUTS (#12)
+* Add more self-tests (#15, #16)
+* Refactor: Move implementation of method `nornir_filter()` up to `NornirNutsContext` (#51)
+* Fix several type annotations (#18)
+* Fix several dependency issues (#14, #43)
+
+Further upcoming Changes:
+* Sadly @bytinbit stops being a maintainer of the NUTS project by the end of the year. 
+  @lucmurer will take over as maintainer and main developer of NUTS.
+* @lucmurer and @bytinbit discussed the specifics of release 4.0 (fixing #19 aka "DINO") which will require 
+  breaking changes to the architecture of NUTS. Based on this, the issue raised by PR #34 will be much easier to 
+  integrate into NUTS, so the merge has been deferred until release 4.0.
