+## [3.4.0] - 2023-09-03
+### Added
+- Support for nested loops where the inner one is a parallel `parfor` loop. Thanks
+  @tunakasif!
 
 ## [3.3.0] - 2021-02-28
 ### Added
-- Optional switch to completely disable the bar's progress and printing functionality via `IsActive`. If `false`, the progress bar is disabled. The default is `true`.

 ## [3.2.0] - 2020-11-13
 ### Added
-- Optional switch to override default MATLAB font in Windows by `OverrideDefaultFont` property. If `true` and while the bar is not released, MATLAB's code font will be changed programmatically to `Courier New`

 - Proper unit testing as a test-case class
 
 ### Changed
 - Demos should now be a bit prettier
 
 ### Fixed
-- Progress bar in non-finite and iteration mode (not having a konwn total number of iterations) will now show correct unit string `it` instead of toggling wrongly between `it` and `s`

 ## [3.1.0] - 2019-11-03
+### Fixed
+- Moved setup-related method-calls to the setup phase of the object. In v3.0.0, the
+  timer object was initialized in the constructor, leading to potential issues in
+  computing the elapsed time and estimated time until completion. Also, user-set
+  properties (like, e.g., the bar's title) could have had no influence while calling the
+  step function due to the same reason.
 ### Changed
+- Renamed private properties
+- The class' version is now stated as a constant property
 - Made some properties constant and method static
 - Cleaned up comments
 - Updated README and CHANGELOG

 ## [3.0.0] - 2017-05-02
 ### Changed
 The whole class has been re-factored to be a **MATLAB System Object**
-- Since updating a progress bar is an iterative process with a setup/reset/release paradigm, this object type fits the purpose best
-- Due to the System Object class structure, multiple methods have been renamed and optional input arguments for the `step()` (formerly `update()`) method are now mandatory. See the example in `README.md`.
-- The bar's **title** is now mandatory and has a default string: `'Processing'`. Notable change is that if the title exceeds the length of 20 characters the title will act like a banner and cycle with a shift of 3 characters each time the bar is updated. This way, the progress bar can have a constant width (for now, 90 characters seem to fit many screens).
