+Description: Write statistical models in R and fit them by MCMC and optimisation on CPUs and GPUs, using Google 'TensorFlow'.
+  greta lets you write your own model like in BUGS, JAGS and Stan, except that you write models right in R, it scales well to massive datasets, and it’s easy to extend and build on.

-# greta (development version)
+# greta 0.3.1
 
-* mcmc now works with TensorFlow Probability version 0.5.0 (#248)
+This release is predominantly a patch to make greta work with recent versions of TensorFlow and TensorFlow Probability, which were not backward compatible with the versions on which greta previously depended. From this release forward, greta will depend on specific (rather than minimum) versions of these two pieces of software to avoid it breaking if more changes are made to the APIS of these packages.
 
+* greta now (only) works with TensorFlow 1.14.0 and TensorFlow Probability 0.7.0 (#289, #290)
+
+* behaviour of the `pb_update` argument to `mcmc()` has been changed slightly to avoid a bad interaction with thinning (#284)
+
+* various edits to the documentation to fix spelling mistakes and typos
