 - `ipfs dns` deprecated in [April 2022, Kubo 0.13](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/commit/76ae33a9f3f9abd166d1f6f23d6a8a0511510e3c), use `ipfs resolve /ipns/{name}` instead.
 - `ipfs tar` deprecated [April 2022, Kubo 0.13](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/8849)
 
+#### Support optional pin names
+
+You can now add a name to a pin when pinning a CID. To do so, use `ipfs pin add --name "Some Name" bafy...`. You can list your pins, including their names, with `ipfs pin ls --detailed`.
+
 ### 📝 Changelog
 
 - Export a `kubo.Start` function so users can programmatically start Kubo from within a go program.
