 ## **Unreleased**
 
+## 4.0.0-alpha.1 - 25/05/2023
+
+A new major release, with a few breaking changes and the removal of many deprecated functions. Also, some methods previously available from on `Engine` has been moved to the `NativeEngineExt` trait.
+Deserialize has changed, with the default version using artifact layout validation. The old function has been renamed to `_unchecked` variant. The speed impact is usually negligeable , but the old function are still present if needed
+Many bugfixes and improvements on `wasmer run` and `wasmer run-unstable` (that will be merged into just `wasmer run` soon). `--allow-multiple-wasi-versions` CLI flag is now removed that is now removed and active by default. Logic for `wasmer config set registry.url` that has been fixed to work with `localhost:1234`
