 ## Changes
 
+* v1.07 (23 August 2022)
+   * Image filenames will now never fill gaps in the sequence, but will be assigned the
+     next higher name in the chosen directory. This ensures that the alphabetic and chronological
+     sort orders are the same.

 * v1.06 (23 August 2022)
    * Added weighted prompt support contributed by [xraxra](https://github.com/xraxra)
    * Example of using weighted prompts to tweak a demonic figure contributed by [bmaltais](https://github.com/bmaltais)
