+# WordPress Plugin Boilerplate Changelog
+
+## 2.2.1 (10 May 2013)
+
+* Updating the `.pot` file as it was resulting in a minor error in one of the translation tools.
+
+## 2.2.0 (10 May 2013)
+
+* Updating the README so the demo changelog is more accurate
+* Renaming the core plugin file to match the name of the plugin (specifically `plugin-boilerplate.php` from `plugin.php`)
+* Removing the default `.po` file and introducing the `plugin-boilerplate.pot` catalog
+* Removing all terminating code block comments
+* Adding braces around the `uninstall.php` conditional
+* Changing access modifiers from `private` to `protected`. See [this discussion](https://github.com/tommcfarlin/WordPress-Plugin-Boilerplate/issues/36) for more details.

+
+## 2.1.0 (9 May 2013)
+
+* Refactoring the ternary operator in the constructor to make the code more readable for developers and to avoid returning an orphaned object

+* Adding a note about POEdit and it being used as my preferred translations
