 # Ibex - Change Log
 
+## v1.3.2
+
+* Fixed inverted boolean condition check for `.EXP` models in `Ibex_matrix`
+
+## v1.3.1
+
+* Realign versioning again with Bioconductor release
+
 ## v1.1.1
 * Aligned version with Bioconductor release
 * Switched default branch to `devel` for Bioconductor compatibility
 * Updated CI workflows to target `devel` branch
 * Converted NEWS to NEWS.md format
 * Added automated GitHub Release workflow via tags
-
-## v1.0.0
-* Integration of Ibex with immApex
-* Updated Seurat object to v5
-* Updated support for SCE format for `runIbex()`
-* Update `CoNGAfy()` to function with all versions of Seurat
-* Updated `quietBCRgenes()` to use VariableFeatures() call for SeuratV5 and backward compatibility
-* Added `getHumanIgPseudoGenes()` to return a list of human Immunoglobulin Pseudo genes
-* Added new light and heavy chain models with encoding methods: OHE, atchleyFactors, crucianiProperties, kideraFactors, MSWHIM, tScales, zScales
-* Trained convolutional and variational autoencoders (architecture: 512-256-128-256-512)
-* Implementing GitHub action workflows
-* Adding testthat framework
-* Deprecated clonalCommunity
-* Added geometric encoding using the BLOSUM62 matrix
 * `Ibex_matrix()` now accepts character vectors of amino acid sequences directly
 * Removed rlang from Imports, added lifecycle
 * As per `basilisk` documentation:
