 ### Version 1.21.0-SNAPSHOT - TBD (javadoc [lib](https://diffplug.github.io/spotless/javadoc/spotless-lib/snapshot/) [lib-extra](https://diffplug.github.io/spotless/javadoc/spotless-lib-extra/snapshot/), [snapshot repo](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/diffplug/spotless/))
 
+* We now use a remote build cache to speed up CI builds.  Reduced build time from ~13 minutes to as low as ~3 minutes, dependending on how deep the change is ([#380](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/380)).

 ### Version 1.20.0 - March 11th 2018 (javadoc [lib](https://diffplug.github.io/spotless/javadoc/spotless-lib/1.20.0/) [lib-extra](https://diffplug.github.io/spotless/javadoc/spotless-lib-extra/1.20.0/), artifact [lib]([jcenter](https://bintray.com/diffplug/opensource/spotless-lib), [lib-extra]([jcenter](https://bintray.com/diffplug/opensource/spotless-lib-extra)))
 
 * Made npm package versions of [`prettier`](https://prettier.io/) and [`tsfmt`](https://github.com/vvakame/typescript-formatter) (and its internal packages) configurable. ([#363](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/363))
   * Updated default npm package version of `prettier` from 1.13.4 to 1.16.4
   * Updated default npm package version of internally used typescript package from 2.9.2 to 3.3.3 and tslint package from 5.1.0 to 5.12.0 (both used by `tsfmt`)
 * Updated default eclipse-wtp from 4.7.3a to 4.7.3b ([#371](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/371)).
+* Configured `buìld-scan` plugin in build ([#356](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/356)).
+  * Runs on every CI build automatically.
+  * Users need to opt-in on their local machine.
 * Default behavior of XML formatter changed to ignore external URIs ([#369](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/369)).
   * **WARNING RESOLVED: By default, xml formatter no longer downloads external entities. You can opt-in to resolve external entities by setting resolveExternalURI to true. However, if you do opt-in, be sure that all external entities are referenced over https and not http, or you may be vulnerable to XXE attacks.**
