-## Changes in v1.4.2
+## Changes in v1.5.0
 
+* Add `as.textmodel_lss()` for objects from the **wordvector** package.
+* Reduce dependent packages by moving **rsparse**, **irlba** and *rsvd* to Suggests.
 * Fix handling of phrasal patterns in `textplot_terms()`.
 * Improve objects created by `as.textmodel_lss.textmodel_lss()`.
