-## 0.15.0-dev16
+## 0.15.0
 
 ### Enhancements
 
+* **Improve text clearing process in email partitioning.** Updated the email partitioner to remove both `=\n` and `=\r\n` characters during the clearing process. Previously, only `=\n` characters were removed.   
 * **Bump unstructured.paddleocr to 2.8.0.1.**
 * **Refine HTML parser to accommodate block element nested in phrasing.** HTML parser no longer raises on a block element (e.g. `<p>`, `<div>`) nested inside a phrasing element (e.g. `<strong>` or `<cite>`). Instead it breaks the phrasing run (and therefore element) at the block-item start and begins a new phrasing run after the block-item. This is consistent with how the browser determines element boundaries in this situation.
 * **Install rewritten HTML parser to fix 12 existing bugs and provide headroom for refinement and growth.** A rewritten HTML parser resolves a collection of outstanding bugs with HTML partitioning and provides a firm foundation for further elaborating that important partitioner.
