+## CHANGES IN VERSION 1.15.1
+
+### New features
+*[FAQ Website](https://github.com/Al-Murphy/MungeSumstats/wiki/FAQ) added.
+* Non-bi-allelic filter switched to FALSE by default in `format_sumstats()`.
+Given the ever increasing number of non-bi-allelic SNPs in dbSNP, it no longer
+makes sense to simply remove these.
