-## UNRELEASED 9.0.0 (BETA) - 2017-03-01
+## 9.0.0 - 2017-02-28
+
+It's time for a new major version of `standard`! As usual, this release contains a
+bunch of awesomeness to help you keep your code in tip-top shape!
+
+We've added several new rules designed to **catch potential programmer errors**
+(i.e. bugs), as well as rules to make programmer intent **more explicit** in
+certain circumstances.
+
+This release continues our trend of tightening up rules so that, wherever possible,
+there's one "right" way to do things. This design goal is intended to reduce the
+time that teams and maintainers spend giving code review feedback in pull requests.
+
+When you upgrade, consider running `standard --fix` to automatically fix some of the
+errors caught by the new rules in this version.
+
+*Note: If you use the Chai test framework, you will need to make some changes to
+your tests to improve their robustness. [Read about the changes you need to make](https://github.com/feross/standard/issues/690#issuecomment-278533482).*
