+## v0.3.1 - 2023-07-20
+### Changed
+* If an SSH session failed to be created, the command would fail. This would be caused when restarting the SSH host. The SSH connection is attempted to be created again. If successful, the command is executed normally.
+
+## v0.3.0 - 2023-01-07
+### Added
+* Getting environment variables and passwords from Vault (not tested yet)
+* Vault configuration to config (not tested yet)
+* Ability to run scripts from file on local machine on the remote host
+* Ability to get ouput in the notification of a list for individual commands or all commands
+### Changed
+* Make SSH connections close after all commands have been run; reuse previous connections if needed
+
 ## 0.2.4 - 2023-02-18
 ### Added
 * Notifications now display errors and the output of the failed command.
