+## 0.97.1 "Gasification" (06 Aug 2021)
+
+We're updating NeoGo to make it compatible with the latest protocol changes
+made in 3.0.2 version of C# node. But that's not the only thing we do, this
+release also fixes one important bug, improves node's performance and adds CLI
+support to add group signatures to manifests.

+New features:
+ * `contract manifest add-group` command to add group signatures to contract

+Behavior changes:

+
+Improvements:
+ * memory store optimizations leading to substantial single-node TPS
+   improvements (#2102)
+ * various micro-optimizations across the board both for CPU usage and memory
+   allocations (#2106, #2113)
+ * optimized transaction decoding (#2110)
+
+Bugs fixed:
+ * ping messages created with wrong value used for node's height (#2115)
