@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ Version counting is based on semantic versioning (Major.Feature.Patch)
 * Fix showing the go to flow bar asking for permission to control the computer on macOS. Moving the cursor into the bar now works without granting any accessibility permission, where before it was silently doing nothing.
 * Add a setting to control what the Escape key does. It can keep quitting the reader, as before, or instead cancel the topmost active mode: magnifying glass, dictionary, go to flow and then fullscreen.
 * Fix crash caused by changing reading direction while quickly turning pages.
+* Use pinch and ctrl+wheel mouse to change the zoom level.
 
 ### YACReaderLibrary
 * Add a library repair function to restore missing covers and rescan files that previously failed to be added.
