+
+## [0.1.09] - 2021-03-28
+- Fix and test suite for return statements
+
+### CHANGED
+- `Loxxy` reports an error when a return statement occurs in top-level scope 
+
+### Fixed
+- A return without explicit value genrated an exception in some cases.

+- Class `BackEnd::Resolver` implements the variable resolution (whenever a variable is in use, locate the declaration of that variable)
+
+### CHANGED
+- Class `Ast::Visitor` changes in some method signatures
