 # Changelog
 
-# $nap;
+# 4.4.0
 * `TextViewSpan` to obtain `TextView` in which markdown is displayed (applied by `CorePlugin`)
 * `TextLayoutSpan` to obtain `Layout` in which markdown is displayed (applied by `TablePlugin`, more specifically `TableRowSpan` to propagate layout in which cell content is displayed)
 * `HtmlEmptyTagReplacement` now is configurable by `HtmlPlugin`, `iframe` handling ([#235])
