 # Revision History
 ### Version 3.1.2 - work in progress
 - Added functions `getActualNeopixelLenghtSimple()`, `clearAndShow()`, `setMatrixPixelColorAndShow()` and `testMapping()`.
+- Improved `SNOW` pattern.
+- New handling for `USER_PATTERN1` and `USER_PATTERN2` and new UserPattern example.
+- Improved MatrixPatternsTest example.
 
 ### Version 3.1.1
 - Added parameter `aRepetitions` to pattern `RainbowCycle`.
 - Improved layout of character c.
- 
+
 ### Version 3.1.0
 - Added functions `printConnectionInfo()`, `fillRegion()`, `stop()` and `stopAllPatterns()`.
