 # Changelog
 
-## [0.1.1][]
+## [0.1.2][]
 
 ### Changed
 
-- Bugfix: kill process now passes correct parameter
-- Refactory: abstract core workflow into one common function to reduce duplicates
-
-### Added
+- Refactory: [Issue #4](https://github.com/chaostoolkit-incubator/chaostoolkit-saltstack/issues/4) Salt API accepts eauth method as parameter in configuration
 
-- Network experiments now accepts device name to adapt different os
-- Add experiment action of kill processes by name
-- Add experiment action of kill process by PID
-- Add experiment probe to check process PID by name
