 # RMariaDB 1.1.1 (2021-04-12)
 
-- Remove BH dependency by inlining the header files (#208).
-- Map `NULL` to `NA` for `bit(1)` columns (#201, @dirkschumacher).
+## Features
 
+- `BIT(1)` columns are returned as `logical` (#84). `NULL` is mapped to `NA` for `bit(1)` columns (#201, @dirkschumacher).
+- `dbConnect()` now supports `timezone_out` argument. Explicitly setting `timezone` to `NULL` tries to detect the database time zone (#116).

+## Bug fixes
 
-- `dbConnect()` now supports `timezone_out` argument. Explicitly setting `timezone` to `NULL` tries to detect the database time zone (#116).
 - Timestamp values are now written correctly if the database connection uses a time zone other than UTC. Deviations still might occur at DST boundaries, therefore it is still safer to use UTC as the database connection (#116).
 - Timestamp roundtrip no longer fails on Windows i386 (#117).
-- `BIT(1)` columns are returned as `logical` (#84).
