 # v0.4.8
 
+FEATURE: The `sdk` package now includes a `sdk.Overview` function, which returns a complete description of the account attached to the enabled environment. Useful for inventorying the deployed shares and environments (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/407)
+
 CHANGE: The title color of the header was changed from white to flourescent green, to better match the overall branding
 
 CHANGE: Tweaks to build and release process for logging and deprecations. Pin golang version at 1.21.3+ and node version at 18.x across all platforms
