 New Features
 ============
@@ -19,14 +19,16 @@ The Zernike module has completed its overhaul.  This brings the following change
 - - :func:`~prysm.zernike.fringe_to_n_m` for converting (arbitrary) Fringe index -> (n,m).  One based.
 - - :func:`~prysm.zernike.n_m_to_name` for retrieving the name from (n, m) orders.
 
+- New capability:
+- - :func:`~prysm.zernike.zernikefit` can fit from (n,m) indices, and fit isolated terms without fitting all of the lower order ones
+
 Breaking:
 - the list :code:`prysm.zernike.zernikes` no longer exists
 - the explicit functions such as :func:`~prysm.zernike.primary_spherical` now only include up to primary trefoil.  You must use another method (such as the caches) to access higher order polynomials.
 - all explicit zernike functions no longer have :code:`name` or :code:`norm` attributes.  Use the enumerated new functions above to get the name or norm of a term from its index
 - :code:`prysm.zernike.zcache` no longer exists.  :class:`~prysm.zernike.ZCacheMN` replaces :code:`ZCache`.  In 0.19, :code:`ZCache` will become an alias for :code:`ZCacheMN`.
 - :func:`prysm.zernike.zernikename` is deleted, use :func:`~prysm.zernike.n_m_to_name` and the various xxxx_to_n_m functions in its place.

+- the "base" kwarg to Zernike classes is deprecated and will be removed in 0.19

-For :class:`prysm._phase.OpticalPhase`s, the phase attribute is now a property that points to :code:`.data`.  This makes *all* prysm classes have a common location holding their primary data array, improving cohesion.  If you access the phase attribute directly, there is no change in your code or its behavior.
