-**Qgrid Events (as of 1.0.3)**:
-Qgrid has some new API methods which can be used to attach event handlers. Event handlers are callback methods that get called when certain events occur in the qgrid interface. In qgrid 1.0.3, event handlers can be attached with the ``on`` method and detached with the ``off`` method. There are ``on`` and ``off`` methods on both the ``qgrid`` module (see `qgrid.on <https://qgrid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#qgrid.on>`_), and on individual QgridWidget instances (see `qgrid.QgridWidget.on <https://qgrid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#qgrid.QgridWidget.on>`_).

+What's New
+----------
+**Column-specific options (as of 1.1.0)**:
+Thanks to a significant `PR from the community <https://github.com/quantopian/qgrid/pull/191>`_, Qgrid users now have the ability to set a number of options on a per column basis. This allows you to do things like explicitly specify which column should be sortable, filterable, editable, etc. For example, if you wanted to prevent filtering on all columns except for a column named `'A'`, you could do the following::
+
+ col_opts = { 'filterable': False }
+ col_defs = { 'A': { 'filterable': True } }
+ qgrid.show_grid(df, column_options=col_opts, column_definitions=col_defs)
+
+See the updated `show_grid <https://qgrid.readthedocs.io/en/v1.1.0/#qgrid.show_grid>`_ documentation for more information.
+
+**Disable editing on a per-row basis (as of 1.1.0)**:
+This feature can be thought of as the first row-specific option that qgrid supports. In particular it allows a user to specify, using python code, whether or not a particular row should be editable. For example, to make it so only rows in the grid where the `'status'` column is set to `'active'` are editable, you might use the following code::
+
+ def can_edit_row(row):
+ return row['status'] == 'active'
+ 
+ qgrid.show_grid(df, row_edit_callback=can_edit_row)
+
+**New API methods for dynamically updating an existing qgrid widget (as of 1.1.0)**:
+Adds the following new methods, which can be used to update the state of an existing Qgrid widget without having to call `show_grid` to completely rebuild the widget:
+
+ - `change_selection <https://qgrid.readthedocs.io/en/v1.1.0/#qgrid.QgridWidget.change_selection>`_
+ - `toggle_editable <https://qgrid.readthedocs.io/en/v1.1.0/#qgrid.QgridWidget.toggle_editable>`_
+ - `change_grid_option <https://qgrid.readthedocs.io/en/v1.1.0/#qgrid.QgridWidget.change_grid_option>`_ (experimental)

Previously the only way to listen for events was to use undocumented parts of the API. 
 
 Having the ability to attach event handlers allows us to do some interesting things in terms of using qgrid in conjunction with other widgets/visualizations. One example is using qgrid to filter a DataFrame that's also being displayed by another visualization.
