 # Changelog
 
+## v4.4.3
+
+ - Number and BigInt parsing has been fixed
+ - `/*#__INLINE__*/` annotation fixed for arrow functions with non-block bodies.
+ - Functional tests have been added, using [this repository](https://github.com/terser/terser-functional-tests).
+ - A memory leak, where the entire AST lives on after compression, has been plugged.
+
+## v4.4.2
+
+ - Fixed a problem with inlining identity functions
+
+## v4.4.1
+
+*note:* This introduced a feature, therefore it should have been a minor release.
+
+ - Fixed a crash when `unsafe` was enabled.
+ - An issue has been fixed where `let` statements might be collapsed out of their scope.
+ - Some error messages have been improved by adding quotes around variable names.
+
+## v4.4.0
+
+ - Added `/*#__INLINE__*/` and `/*#__NOINLINE__*/` annotations for calls. If a call has one of these, it either forces or forbids inlining.
+
 ## v4.3.11
 
  - Fixed a problem where `window` was considered safe to access, even though there are situations where it isn't (Node.js, workers...)

+### Annotations
+
+Annotations in Terser are a way to tell it to treat a certain function call differently. The following annotations are available:
+
+ * `/*@__INLINE__*/` - forces a function to be inlined somewhere.
+ * `/*@__NOINLINE__*/` - Makes sure the called function is not inlined into the call site.
+ * `/*@__PURE__*/` - Marks a function call as pure. That means, it can safely be dropped.
+
+You can use either a `@` sign at the start, or a `#`.
+
+Here are some examples on how to use them:
+
+```javascript
+/*@__INLINE__*/
+function_always_inlined_here()
+
+/*#__NOINLINE__*/
+function_cant_be_inlined_into_here()
+
+const x = /*#__PURE__*/i_am_dropped_if_x_is_not_used()
+```
