+## v0.1 (2022-08-09)
+
+* Basic solving of diffusion problems with
+  - 1D regular and rectangular grids using BTCS scheme and Eigen SparseLU solver
+  - 2D regular and rectangular grids using 2D-ADI-BTCS scheme and Eigen SparseLU solver
+* Definition of boundary conditions via class `BTCSBoundaryCondition` on ghost nodes 
+* Boundaries types `CLOSED` and `CONSTANT` cells are provided for diffusion problem solving
+* Software testing of both `BTCSDiffusion` and `BTCSBoundaryCondition` classes
+* Description of both BTCS and 2D-ADI-BTCS schemes are provided in `doc`
+* Example applications are attached in `app` subdirectory
