-## Version 1.8: Sets and Flags (IN PROGRESS)
+## Version 1.8: Transformers, default strings, and flags
 
-Set handling has been completely replaced by a new backend that works as a Validator. This provides a single interface instead of the 16 different functions in App. It also allows ordered collections to be used, custom functions for filtering, and better help and error messages. You can also use a collection of pairs (like `std::map`) to transform the match into an output. Also new are inverted flags, which can cancel or reduce the count of flags, and can also support general flag types. A new `add_option_fn` lets you more easily program CLI11 options with the types you choose. Vector options now support a custom separator. Apps can now be composed with unnamed subcommand support. The final bool "defaults" flag when creating options has been replaced by `->capture_default_str()` (ending an old limitation in construction made this possible); the old method is still available but may be removed in future versions.

 * Replaced default help capture: `.add_option("name", value, "", True)` becomes `.add_option("name", value)->capture_default_str()` [#242]
 * Added `.always_capture_default()` [#242]
 * New `CLI::IsMember` validator replaces set validation [#222]
 * IsMember also supports container of pairs, transform allows modification of result [#228]
+* Added new Transformers, `CLI::AsNumberWithUnit` and `CLI::AsSizeValue` [#253]
 * Much more powerful flags with different values [#211], general types [#235]
 * `add_option` now supports bool due to unified bool handling [#211]
 * Support for composable unnamed subcommands [#216]

@@ -341,8 +341,8 @@ CLI11 has several Validators built-in that perform some common checks
 -   `CLI::IsMember(...)`: 🚧 Require an option be a member of a given set.  See [Transforming Validators](#transforming-validators) for more details.
 -   `CLI::Transformer(...)`: 🚧 Modify the input using a map.  See [Transforming Validators](#transforming-validators) for more details.
 -   `CLI::CheckedTransformer(...)`: 🚧 Modify the input using a map, and require that the input is either in the set or already one of the outputs of the set. See [Transforming Validators](#transforming-validators) for more details.
--   `CLI::AsNumberWithUnit(...)`: Modify the `<NUMBER> <UNIT>` pair by matching the unit and multiplying the number by the corresponding factor. It can be used as a base for transformers, that accept things like size values (`1 KB`) or durations (`0.33 ms`).
--   `CLI::AsSizeValue(...)`: Convert inputs like `100b`, `42 KB`, `101 Mb`, `11 Mib` to absolute values. `KB` can be configured to be interpreted as 10^3 or 2^10.
