 # CHANGELOG
 
+## v0.5.0 - _TBD, 2018_
+
+    * Modified custom 'underscore-privates' rule, changing it to 'underscore-private-protected' requiring underscores to be prepended to private variable names
+    * Because our tools can be used in both a TS and JS environment, we want to make the private methods of any public facing interface show up at the bottom of auto-complete lists. Additionally, we wanted to remain consistent with respect to our usage of underscores in order to enforce this rule with a linter rule, rather then manual code reviews.
+
 ## v0.4.0 - _December 28, 2017_
 
     * Added custom 'underscore-privates' rule, requiring underscores to be prepended to private variable names
