 ## :bell: Changelog
 
+- **v0.5.7.0**: Rewritten templates - now with a function to notify when there's a new Dockcheck release.
+    - Manually migrate your current `notify.sh` settings to a new template for new functionality.
+- **v0.5.6.1**: Async xargs hotfix - due to errors `failed to request manifest head ... context canceled`
+    - Defaulted subprocess to 1 with `MaxAsync=1`, increase to find a stable value in your environment.
+    - Added `-x N` option to pass `MaxAsync` value at runtime.
+    - To disable xargs `-P` flag (max processes) all together, set `MaxAsync` to 0.
+- **v0.5.6.0**: Heavily improved performance due to async checking for updates.
+- **v0.5.5.0**: osx and bsd compatibility changes + rewrite of dependency installer
 - **v0.5.4.0**: Added support for a Prometheus+node_exporter metric collection through a file collector.
 - **v0.5.3.0**: Local image check changed (use imageId instead of name) and Gotify-template fixed (whale icon removed).
 - **v0.5.2.1**: Rewrite of dependency downloads, jq can be installed with package manager or static binary.
-- **v0.5.1**: DEPENDENCY WARNING: now requires **jq**. + Upstreaming changes from [sudo-kraken/podcheck](https://github.com/sudo-kraken/podcheck)
-- **v0.5.0**: Rewritten notify logic - all templates are adjusted and should be migrated!
-    - Copy the custom settings from your current template to the new version of the same template.
-    - Look into, copy and customize the `urls.list` file if that's of interest.
-    - Other changes:
-        - Added Discord notify template.
-        - Verbosity changed of `regctl`.
-- **v0.4.9**: Added a function to enrich the notify-message with release note URLs. See [Release notes addon](https://github.com/mag37/dockcheck#date-release-notes-addon-to-notifications)
