+We're pleased to announce a new release of JBrowse Web!
+
+## Changed callbacks language from JavaScript to Jexl
+
+To allow users to safely and seamlessly share advanced configurations in sessions, we now use [Jexl](https://github.com/TomFrost/Jexl/blob/master/README.md) to express configuration callbacks. Note that this is a breaking change, `function()`-style callbacks will no longer work.
+
+For details, see the [callbacks section of our configuration guide](../docs/config_guide#configuration-callbacks).
+
+## Fetch intron and upstream/downstream sequences
+
+We also have several other improvements including the ability to get intron and
+upstream/downstream sequence in the feature details
+
+![](./img/upstream_downstream_details.png)
+
+## Interactive documentation using Storybook
+
+Another new update is the first release of our interactive Storybook docs for the embeddable React Linear Genome View.
+The docs contain live examples of how the LGV component can be used, along with source-code examples.
+The site can be found [here](https://jbrowse.org/storybook/lgv/v1.1.0).
+
+## Enhanced navigation to drawer widget stack
+
+We have added a dropdown to enhance navigation between stack of active widgets. The update also adds a minimize button to allow quick access to full screen JBrowse web.
+
+See below for demos of the new navigation UI.
