+Rule changes
+============
+
+New unused-keyword rule (#1017)
+-------------------------------
+
+New I10101 ``unused-keyword`` community rule. This optional rule finds not used keywords defined in suites (robot files
+with tests/tasks) or private keywords (keywords with ``robot:private`` tag).
+
+For example::
+
+    *** Test Cases ***
+    Test that only non used keywords are reported
+        Used Keyword
+
+    *** Keywords ***
+    Not Used Keyword  # this keyword will be reported as not used
+        [Arguments]    ${arg}
+        Should Be True    ${arg}>50
+
+This rule will be developed in the future releases to cover other sources like resource files.
+empty-variable can be now disabled for VAR (#1056)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+I0912 ``empty-variable`` received new parameter ``variable_source`` which allows to enable the rule either only for
+variables from ```*** Variables ***``` section or only ``VAR`` statements. By default it works on both.
+
+New first-argument-in-new-line rule (#1001)
+-------------------------------------------
+
+New W1018 ``first-argument-in-new-line`` rule that checks if first argument is placed in the same line as
+``[Argument]`` setting.
+
+This rule covers Robot Framework Style Guide recommendation:
+
+https://docs.robotframework.org/docs/style_guide#line-continuation-for-arguments-in-keyword-definition
