+## [Zebra 1.0.1](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/releases/tag/v1.0.1) - 2023-XX-XX
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Zebra now detects subcommand name typos on the command-line. If you want to give Zebra a list of tracing filters, use `zebrad start --filters debug,...` ([#7056](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/pull/7056))

 ## [Zebra 1.0.1](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/releases/tag/v1.0.1) - 2023-07-03
 
 Zebra's first patch release fixes multiple peer connection security issues and panics. It also significantly reduces Zebra's CPU usage. We recommend that all users upgrade to Zebra 1.0.1 or later.
