@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.htm
 - The option to use a half space cooling model for the temperature of an oceanic plate has been added to the oceanic plate feature. \[Magali Billen; 2021-07-15; [#317](github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/pull/317)\] 
 - Information about the depth of the reference surface in the PointDistanceFromCurvedPlanes structure. \[Menno Fraters; 2021-07-20; [#320](github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/pull/320)\]
 -The option for a smooth slab temperature structure that conserves mass with distance along the slab surface. \[Magali Billen; 2021-07-28; [#323] (github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/pull/323)\]
+-The option for a temperature model for an oceanic plate with a constant age using the plate model. \[Haoyuan Li; 2021-10-29; [#344] (https://github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/pull/344)\]
 ### Changed
 - The World Builder Visualizer will now use zlib compression for vtu files by default. If zlib is not available binary output will be used. \[Menno Fraters; 2021-06-26; [#282](github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/pull/282)\]
 - The return argument type of the distance_point_from_curved_planes function has been converted from a map to a struct, requiring a change in the plugin interfaces for 'fault_models' and 'subducting_plate_models', but significantly increasing the speed of the function and all functions that access its returned values. \[Rene Gassmoeller; 2021-06-27; [#289](github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/issues/289)\]
