@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
 - The uninstall now uninstalls packages in the correct order (so dependents before dependencies).
 - The `--exclude` flag for the `pit util package` command, to exclude certain packages when using the `--all` flag.
 - New and improved documentation.
+- The notice fields in the metadata to show a message before or after an installation.
 
 ### Changes
 - The build tests are now turned off by default and can be turned on with `--execute-build-test` (`--skip-build-test` is removed).
