     - the strategy format now has a `operations` set of keywords, including `stokesv` to drawn options from
     - naming format of output linmos files could contain the pol field
     - `stokesv` imaging will not linmos the cleaning residuals together, even if the `--linmos-residuals` CLI is provided
+- Capture `CleanDivergenceError` from `wsclean` and rerun with larger image size and lower gain
 
 # 0.2.5
 - added in skip rounds for masking and selfcal
