 ## 4.0.0 (2025-06-10)
 
-Bump to version 4.0. New front page, file view, color scheme, event viewer (beta), map builder
+Bump to version 4.0. New look and feel for main page and file browsers should help you find your file and folders faster. All the same info, just better organized.
+
+New front page, file view, color scheme, event viewer (beta), map builder
 (beta), and updated Python (pip) package for running standalone or in server environments.
 
 
 ### Features
 
+* New front page, file view, and color scheme for easier navigation based on user testing and feedback
+* Event viewer (beta) -- event files can be directly opened to see vehicle animations (WIP)
+* Map builder (beta) -- layered map is starting to become useful with geojson, point, and arc views.
+  WIP, more to come!
+* Updated python/pip/uv command line tool makes it much easier to run simwrapper locally and view
+  local or network-mounted files. See [running SimWrapper locally](https://docs.simwrapper.app/docs/intro/running-locally) and [cloud storage docs](https://docs.simwrapper.app/docs/guide-cloud-storage)
