 # Release Notes
 
+## 1.0.0
+
+It's finally here! <Emoji name="partying-face" height={28} fallback="🥳" />
+
+There are just a few breaking changes that have been introduced with this and one _very_ cool feature.
+
+### `isFetching` has been renamed to `fetching`
+
+This sounds big but we suspect that the fix should be relatively safe and quick. Just replace all instances of `isFetching` in your
+application with `fetching`.
+
+```diff
+- {#if $MyQuery.isFetching}
++ {#if $MyQuery.fetching}
+```
+
+### `error` and `redirect` are no longer attached to `this` in hooks
+
+We felt that these methods didn't offer a lot on top of SvelteKit's exports and were just complicating the situation. Now, you should just
+use the exported values from SvelteKit:
+
+```diff
++ import { error } from '@sveltejs/kit'
+
+  export function _houdini_beforeLoad({ params }) {
+    if (valueIsValid(params)) {
+-         throw this.error(400, "message")
++         throw error(400, "message")
+    }
+  }
+```
+
+### Query Inputs can now be inferred from route parameters
+
+For example, if a route is defined at `src/routes/users/[id]` and a query looks like this:
+
+```graphql
+query UserInfo($id: Int!) {
+    user(id: $id) {
+        ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Then the `Variable` function is not required. That being said, you can still define a `Variable` function for custom logic if you want.
+

 `v0.19.0` brings changes quickly after `0.18`. We're trying to get out as much as possible as quickly as possible
