 CHANGELOG
 =========
 
+0.60.0
+------
+
+- Added `--accept-nth` for choosing output fields
+  ```sh
+  ps -ef | fzf --multi --header-lines 1 | awk '{print $2}'
+  # Becomes
+  ps -ef | fzf --multi --header-lines 1 --accept-nth 2
+
+  git branch | fzf | cut -c3-
+  # Can be rewritten as
+  git branch | fzf --accept-nth -1
+  ```
+- `--accept-nth` and `--with-nth` now support a template that includes multiple field index expressions in curly braces
+  ```sh
+  echo foo,bar,baz | fzf --delimiter , --accept-nth '{1}, {3}, {2}'
+    # foo, baz, bar
+
+  echo foo,bar,baz | fzf --delimiter , --with-nth '{1},{3},{2},{1..2}'
+    # foo,baz,bar,foo,bar
+  ```
+- Added `exclude` and `exclude-multi` actions for dynamically excluding items
+  ```sh
+  seq 100 | fzf --bind 'ctrl-x:exclude'
+
+  # 'exclude-multi' will exclude the selected items or the current item
+  seq 100 | fzf --multi --bind 'ctrl-x:exclude-multi'
+  ```
+- Preview window now prints wrap indicator when wrapping is enabled
+  ```sh
+  seq 100 | xargs | fzf --wrap --preview 'echo {}' --preview-window wrap
+  ```
+- Bug fixes and improvements
