-# Giotto 4.1.0 TBD
-
-## Bug fixes
-* Fix error in `plotInteractivePolygons()` when providing a spatial plot with a continuous scale [#964](https://github.com/drieslab/Giotto/issues/964) by jweis3
-* Fix error in DWLS `find_dampening_constant()` when `S[subset, ]` produces only 1 gene.
-* Fix error in `interpolateFeatures()` where feature names with `-` or starting with numbers did not work
-
-## New
-* `read10xAffineImage()` for reading 10x affine transformed images
-* Several modular importer functions

 ## Breaking changes
 * Deprecated `detectSpatialCorGenes()` removed. Use `detectSpatialCorFeats()` instead
 * Deprecated `findInteractionChangedGenes()` removed. Use `findInteractionChangedFeats()` instead
 * Deprecated `findCellProximityGenes()` removed. Use `findInteractionChangedFeats()` instead
+* `createGiottoXeniumObject()` has been overhauled and parameters have changed.
