+-   voicemeeter.NewRemote now accepts a delay int argument (milliseconds).
+-   vm.Sync() can now be used to force the dirty parameters to clear.
+
+### Changed
+
+-   higher level methods/functions now accept/return float64
+-   tests updated to reflect changes.
+
+## [1.5.0] - 2022-09-07
+
+### Changed
+
+-   changes to error handling.
+    -   functions that wrap capi calls now return error types.
+    -   higher level functions print error messages
+
+## [1.4.0] - 2022-08-22
+
+### Added
+
+-   midi type, supports midi devices
+-   midi updates added to the pooler
+-   event type, supports toggling event updates through EventAdd() and EventRemove() methods.

+-   [OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com/)
+-   [GOOBS Go Client for Websocket v5](https://github.com/andreykaipov/goobs)
+
+## About
+
+A simple demonstration showing how to sync OBS scene switches to Voicemeeter states. The script assumes you have connection info saved in
+a config file named `config.toml` placed next to `main.go`. It also assumes you have scenes named `START` `BRB` `END` and `LIVE`.
+
+A valid `config.toml` file might look like this:
+
+```toml
+[connection]
+Host="localhost"
+Port=4455
+Password="mystrongpass"
+
+```

+## About
+
+A simple voicemeeter-cli program. Offers ability to toggle, get and set parameters.
+
+## Use
+
+Toggle with `!` prefix, get by excluding `=` and set by including `=`. Mix and match arguments.
+
+You may pass an optional flag -kind to set the kind of Voicemeeter. Defaults to banana.
+
+You may pass an optional flag -delay to set a delay on the getters. Defaults to 20ms.
+
+for example:
+
+`go run .\main.go -kind=potato -delay=18 strip[0].mute=0 strip[0].mute !strip[0].mute strip[0].mute bus[0].gain=-8.8 command.lock=1`
+
+Expected output:
+
+```
+Logged into Voicemeeter potato
+Running command strip[0].mute=0
+Value of strip[0].mute is: 0
+Toggling strip[0].mute
+Value of strip[0].mute is: 1
+Running command bus[0].gain=-8.8
+Running command command.lock=1
