+Each user requires a config entry, and there must be at least one user in the config (otherwise the default user is added). Each user has a username, a role for configuring access groups, and a password. By default there is one user, named 'admin', with role 'admin' and password 'admin'. To change this user's name, password or role, just modify the config entry's variables and press save. To add a new user, add another user config entry UNDER all existing user config entries. A user with role 'admin' must appear first in the config. Do not change the order of users in the config once they have been defined, otherwise their passwords will not match the next time the config is applied. When users are removed from the config, they are deleted and their cached password is also deleted when the config is applied.

+##### Updated to version 0.5!
+> In this version, I removed the need for database migrations by making the database 100% dynamic. Meaning when you run dashmachine your old site.db file will be deleted and a new one will be created using the data from config.ini. This will make adding features in the future easier and updates will break things less. To accomplish this you will notice that user management has been moved to config.ini. If you are upgrading from a previous version, your user table was deleted. Please login with default user/pass (which is now 'admin' and 'admin') and take a look at the users section in the readme to add users.
+
+**Changelog**
+- ui fixes
+- users are now managed through config.ini
+- no more alembic, completely dynamic database, created on startup
+- users can now override global settings
+- added update message
+- performance fixes
+- added setting for hiding sidebar by default
+- fixes #41
