+### Fixed
+
+- Removed `numba` from dependencies altogether, should help fix
+- Added version cap to `ruamel`. This should prevent getting errors related to the yaml parser and avoid getting stuck in dependency hell during install
+- Removed unnecessary print statement in load functions.
 
 ### Changed
 
-- Made `numpy` an optional dependency, this should improve package compatibility across OS
+- Fixed reference to `numpy` in previous changelog to `numba`.

+## News
+
+I was notified of a few compatibility problems with the use of ORPL on non-linux systems. Most of the difficulties were traced back to making numba behave with MacOS and Windows. Starting with version v1.0.10a, I removed `numba` from the required libraries list. As such, it will no longer be installed on its own along `orpl`. However, if it is installed _explicitely_ (by running `pip install numba`), it will provide a significant boost for the performance of baseline removal filters. In the future I plan to find another library to handle JIT compilation to achieve the same benefits.
+
+In addition, I was also notified of an error that a few people encountered when trying load a spectrum file in ORPL GUI. The GUI would launch fine, but would crash when trying to load a spectrum. Part of the error message is as follow,
+
+```python
+"dump()" has been removed, use
+
+yaml = YAML(typ='unsafe', pure=True)
+yaml.dump(...)
+```
+
+This error is caused by a newer version that was pushed for the [ruamel](https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml/) library that I use to parse YAML. I will need to change a few things, but for now an easy fix was to limit this dependency to versions prior to 0.18. If you encountered this error, there are two ways to fix it.
+
+First, you can explicitely install ruamel with a version that does not cause this issue,
+
+```shell
+pip install "ruamel.yaml<0.18.0"
+```
+
+Or you can force an `orpl` update,
+
+```shell
+pip install --upgrade orplib
+```
