+Major changes and news in Caesar.jl.
 
+## Changes in v0.13
+
+- Finally adding a NEWS.md to Caesar.jl.
 - Standardize all Manifolds.jl representations to use `SciML/ArrayPartition` instead of `Manifold/ProductRepr`.
 - Add `RobotOS / PyCall` based interface for writing bagfiles with `RosbagWriter`.
 - Add `_PCL` export functions to go from `Caesar._PCL.PointCloud` out to `PCLPointCloud2` and `ROS.PointCloud2` types.
-- Finally adding a NEWS.md to Caesar.jl.
+- Refactored `ScatterAlign` to support both `ScatterAlignPose2` and `ScatterAlignPose3`.
+- Improved `_PCL.apply` to now transform both 2D and 3D pointclouds using `Manifolds.SpecialEuclidean(2)` and `Manifolds.SpecialEuclidean(3)`.
+- Added more testing on `_PCL` conversions and transforms.
