 ## [0.11.7] - TBD
-- The internal method `save_genome_mass` was added to facilitate the batch saving of genomes
+- Genomes are now saved in batches to the workspace
 - Unusable `export_genome_features_protein_to_fasta` function was removed
 - The `genbanks_to_genomes` method was added to allow users to upload multiple
 genome objects at once
