 ## Includes
 
 This plugin leverages the following libraries for functionality delivered within certain blocks.
 
-- This plugin loads a copy of the SASS files from the [Bootstrap 4 library](https://github.com/ASU/asu-unity-stack/tree/dev/packages/bootstrap4-theme) within the ASU Unity design kit. It includes only the design tokens for easier SASS references and expects that the theme will load the remainder of the required BS4 files.

 ## Release Notes
 
+### Version 1.3
+This release contains several bigger refactoring efforts for performance and best practices.
+- CHANGE:  Refactored all blocks to use `block.json`, which is now [the recommended method](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-blocks-with-block-json/) for doing so as of ACF 6.0.
+- ADD: Several blocks now also take advantage of a dedicated ACF field for picking an icon from the Font Awesome library. This field is provided by the [ACF Font Awesome Field plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-font-awesome/) which is now bundled with the theme as a recommended plugin for the system.
+- FIX: Blocks now use WP styling engine to generate inline style declatations for margin/padding/colors.
+
+Additional small adjustments to individual blocks include:
+
+`acf/accordion`
+- FIX: Address block crash related to FA icon insertion/removal from block.
+- CHANGE: Implemented Font Awesome icon field for a better UX.
+- ADD: Unique block ID generated by dedicated field for the purpose. Removes dependency on block id generated by ACF.
+
+`acf/alert`
+- FIX: Removal of icon caused block rendering error in block editor. The icon is now not optional for this block. Consistent with Unity design component.
+
+`acf/banner`
+- ADD: Added option for user to select an optional icon for the banner.
+
+`acf/content-media-overlap`
+- CHANGE: Non-functional control for media size/zoom was removed. No matching option in Unity.
+
+`acf/uds-sidebar`
+- FIX: Nav walker class for items in a sub-menu produced an incorrect wrapper `<ul>` element. Removed unneeded wrapper.
+- CHANGE: Relocated nav walker class to main plugin file.
+
+`acf/subtitle block`
+- FIX: No longer produces markup of any kind if the block is unused.
+

+- NEW: Initial deployment of the `acf/hero-video` block.
 - IMPROVE: Options within the `acf/accordion` block failed when the block was nested within other blocks. Fixed so that the block can exist anyplace on the page.
-- FIX: Adjusted SASS for `acf/background-section` to add padding/margin on a mobile device. Content no longer stretches from edge to edge. 
+- FIX: Adjusted SASS for `acf/background-section` to add padding/margin on a mobile device. Content no longer stretches from edge to edge.
 - FIX: `.gitignore` excluded a required file fror the acf/breadcrumb block without a prior `composer install`. The plugin will now safely work "out of the box" again without further install steps.
