     <h1>Agent-JS Changelog</h1>
 
     <section>
+      <h2>Version x.x.x</h2>
+      <ul>
+        <li>
+          Adds a public method "createReadStateRequest" that creates the request for "readState".
+        </li>
+        <li>
+          Add an extra parameter to "readState" to pass a created request. If this parameter is
+          passed, the method does the request directly without creating a new one.
+        </li>
+        <li>
+          Use the "createReadStateRequest" and the extra parameter when polling for the response to
+          avoid signing requests during polling.
+        </li>
+      </ul>
       <h2>Version 0.12.0</h2>
