+* Fixed Data Flow Optimizer not removing some superfluous variables when using `case` expressions
+  ([issue #133](https://github.com/cardillan/mindcode/issues/133)).
+* Fixed Data Flow Optimizer incorrectly applying common subexpression optimization in some cases
+  ([issue #133](https://github.com/cardillan/mindcode/issues/133)).
 
 ### Added
 
 * Added support for specifying processor code (both Mindcode and mlog) as a concatenation of multiple code snippets
   from various sources (string literal, string constant or external file). 
+* Added new Mandelbrot Generator schematics example.
+
+### Miscellaneous

 **Schemacode** is a specialized definition language designed for creating a complete Mindustry schematic as a text 
 file. [Schematics builder](doc/syntax/SCHEMACODE.markdown) can be used to turn these definition files directly into 
 Mindustry schematics, either as a binary `.msch` file, or as a text. Processors can be included in these schematics,

+It is also possible use the [command line tool](doc/syntax/TOOLS-CMDLINE.markdown) to compile your files, even copying 
+the compiled code into the clipboard automatically if desired. The command line compiler can be set up in the 
+following way:
+
+1. Download and install [Eclipse Temurin version 17](https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=17).
+2. Download `mindcode.jar` from the [releases page](https://github.com/cardillan/mindcode/releases) and place it in 
+   a directory on your computer.
+3. To run the command line compiler, use `java.exe --enable-preview -jar mindcode.jar <arguments>`. Provide full 
+   paths to the `java.exe` file from the Eclipse Temurin installation created in the first step, and to the 
+   `mindcode.jar` file downloaded in the second step. `<arguments>` are the command line arguments passed to the 
+   mindcode compiler.
+
+For example, the following command compiles `program.mnd` into `program.mlog` and copies the resulting mlog code 
+into the clipboard:
+
+```
+java.exe --enable-preview -jar mindcode.jar cm program.mnd program.mlog -c
+```

+Documentation for the command line tool is available [here](doc/syntax/TOOLS-CMDLINE.markdown).
