 # Version 1.1.0
 - WXF deserialization maps `List` to `tuple`, was `list` before for two reasons. `List` and tuple are immutable. `tuple` contrary to `list` are hashable object and as such can be keys in `dict`.
 - WXF deserialization maps numeric arrays to `NumPy` arrays. Numpy being a pre-requisite of the library, and lazily loaded, this change will boost performances while causing very little trouble, if any.
-- Use `black` code formatter.
 - Fix bug in `WolframLanguageSession` that was preventing Python interpreter from exiting.
+- Add new class `PackedArray`, a wrapper on top of NumPy `ndarray`. Instances of `PackedArray` are serialized as... WL packed array (!). This fixes the issue of having a WL packed array (say the output of `Range[3]`), being serialized to a `ndarray` (`arange(3)`), and send back to the kernel as a `NumericArray`. 
+- Use `black` code formatter.
 
 # Version 1.0.2
 - Add two new optional flags to `test` command called `-x` or `--xml` and `-d` or `--xml-dir`. It produces an xml output of the test results using the `unittest-xml-reporting` library. `-d` expects the filepath of the output directory, default is `test-reports`. Also add `-v` or `--verbosity` to control the `verbosity` option of the test suite. Check `python run.py test -h` for more info.
