 # Release Notes
 
+## 1.10.0 / 2014-11-10 
+
+The following changes are required if you are upgrading from the previous version:
+
+- **Users:**
+  - No changes required
+- **Plugin Developers:** 
+  - Review `addChainableNoop` notes below.
+- **Core Contributors:** 
+  - Refresh `node_modules` folder for updated dependencies. 
+
+### Noop Function for Terminating Assertion Properties
+
+The following assertions can now also be used in the function-call form:
+
+* ok
+* true
+* false
+* null
+* undefined
+* exist
+* empty
+* arguments
+* Arguments
+
+The above list of assertions are property getters that assert immediately on 
+access. Because of that, they were written to be used by terminating the assertion 
+chain with a property access.
+
+```js
+expect(true).to.be.true;
+foo.should.be.ok;
+```
+
+This syntax is definitely aesthetically pleasing but, if you are linting your 
+test code, your linter will complain with an error something like "Expected an 
+assignment or function call and instead saw an expression." Since the linter 
+doesn't know about the property getter it assumes this line has no side-effects, 
+and throws a warning in case you made a mistake.
+
+Squelching these errors is not a good solution as test code is getting to be 
+just as important as, if not more than, production code. Catching syntactical 
+errors in tests using static analysis is a great tool to help make sure that your 
+tests are well-defined and free of typos.
+
+A better option was to provide a function-call form for these assertions so that 
+the code's intent is more clear and the linters stop complaining about something 
+looking off. This form is added in addition to the existing property access form 
+and does not impact existing test code.
+
+```js
+expect(true).to.be.true();
+foo.should.be.ok();
+```
+
+These forms can also be mixed in any way, these are all functionally identical:
+
+```js
+expect(true).to.be.true.and.not.false();
+expect(true).to.be.true().and.not.false;
+expect(true).to.be.true.and.not.false;
+```
+
+#### Plugin Authors
+
+If you would like to provide this function-call form for your terminating assertion 
+properties, there is a new function to register these types of asserts. Instead 
+of using `addProperty` to register terminating assertions, simply use `addChainableNoop` 
+instead; the arguments to both are identical. The latter will make the assertion 
+available in both the attribute and function-call forms and should have no impact 
+on existing users of your plugin.
