 ### v0.36.0
 
+#### Breaking changes
+
+Removes the `fs.add` and `fs.cat` functions, use `fs.read` and `fs.write` instead.
+
+#### Additions
+
 - Adds `program.recoverFileSystem({ newUsername, oldUsername, readKey })` shorthand method so apps will no longer have to implement the FS recovery flow manually.
 - Adds `program.accountDID(username)` shorthand method to retrieve the root DID of a given account username.
 
+
 ### v0.35.2
 
 Fixes issue with the types of the `path.appData` function. Now has the correct overloads.

 ## Basics
 
 WNFS exposes a familiar POSIX-style interface:
-- `add`: add a file
-- `cat`: retrieve a file
 - `exists`: check if a file or directory exists
 - `ls`: list a directory
 - `mkdir`: create a directory
 - `mv`: move a file or directory
-- `read`: alias for `cat`
+- `read`: read from a file
 - `rm`: remove a file or directory
-- `write`: alias for `add`
+- `write`: write to a file
