 # Release Notes
 
+## 4.1.0 (2024-02-21)
+
+### Highlights
+- **New Interfaces:**
+    - Combines data and behavior into a single class, simplifying the understanding and usage of the system's models. Review the available [synchronous](./reference/oop/models.md) and [asynchronous](./reference/oop/models_async.md) models.
+    - **New Interface:** Introduced a revamped interface in the Synapse Python Client, shifting from a functional programming approach to an object-oriented one.
+    - **Enhanced Developer Experience:** This change highlights much needed quality of life updates for developers. Improved autocomplete, hoverdocs, and examples in docstrings provide a significantly better coding experience.
+    - **Asyncio Support:** Introduced support for asyncio, enabling more efficient use of system resources and enhancing performance for IO-bound tasks.
+    - **Extensibility:** Laying the foundation for an extensible platform, facilitating easier addition of new features, and improvements to the Synapse Python Client.
+
+- **synapseutils.walk Improvement:**
+    - Improved performance for [synapseutils.walk][].
+
+- **Pandas Range Expansion:**
+    - Expanded pandas range to `>=1.5, <3.0`.
+
+- **Version Notation Support:**
+    - Using `syn123.version` notation is now supported with [syn.get][synapseclient.Synapse.get], [synapseutils.syncFromSynapse][], and [syn.setProvenance][synapseclient.Synapse.setProvenance]. This enhances consistency in version management across various activities.
