 # Changes
 
+* 1.13.0 TBD
+  - Fix the `<call>` tags not being executed on the left side of conditionals,
+    so that `<call>test</call> == true => Success` types of conditions should
+    work (bug #107).
+  - Fix trigger regexp processing so that if a `{weight}` tag contains a space
+    before or after it (or: a space between `{weight}` and the rest of the
+    trigger text), the spaces are also stripped so that matching isn't broken
+    for that trigger (bug #102).
+
 * 1.12.2 2016-05-16
   - Call the error handler on `loadDirectory()` when the directory doesn't exist
     or isn't a directory (bug #117).

-# Reply-async
+# replyAsync Example
 
 This example demonstrates using replyAsync function. You should use
 **replyAsync** instead of **reply** if you have subroutines that return
 promises.
 
+## Important Note About Conditionals
+
+Asynchronous object macros are *not* supported within the conditional side of
+`*Conditions` in RiveScript. That is, RiveScript code like the following will
+not work (where the `weather` macro calls out to an HTTP API and returns a
+promise with the result):
+
+```rivescript
++ is it sunny outside
+* <call>weather <get zipcode></call> == sunny => It appears it is!
+- It doesn't look sunny outside.
+```
+
+Conditionals in RiveScript require their results to be immediately available
+so it can check if the comparison is truthy. So, even if you use `replyAsync()`,
+the `<call>` tags in conditionals only support running synchronous object
+macros (ones that return a string result and not a promise).
+
+However, asynchronous object macros can be used in the *reply* portion of the
+conditional (the part on the right side of the `=>` separator). This is the
+text eventually returned to the user and it can return as a promise when you use
+`replyAsync()` just like if it were in a `-Reply` command.
