 * Changelog
   All notable changes in this project will be shown in this file.
+** v0.3.2 - [2021-12-02 Thu]
+*** Added
+    - Added lots more tests for the backend and utilities
+*** Fixed
+    - The UnitDatabase's unit map acted as if it were empty if it had units but no prefixes
+    - Non-exact LinearUnitValue instances had their value printed as "(", meaning "(5.0 ± 0.1) m" would be printed as "( m"
 ** v0.3.1 - [2021-08-26 Thu]
 *** Added
     - Created a user manual

-* 7Units v0.3.1
+* 7Units v0.3.2
   (this project uses Semantic Versioning)
 ** What is it?
    This is a unit converter, which allows you to convert between different units, and includes a GUI which can read unit data from a file (using some unit math) and convert between units that you type in, and has a unit and prefix viewer to check the units that have been loaded in.
