 ## Library Updates
 
+### [bevy_atmosphere] v0.5
+
+![bevy_atmosphere collage: colored skies](bevy_atmosphere.png)
+
+bevy_atmosphere ([crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/bevy_atmosphere),
+[docs.rs](https://docs.rs/bevy_atmosphere/latest/bevy_atmosphere/),
+[GitHub](https://github.com/JonahPlusPlus/bevy_atmosphere))
+is now compatible with Bevy 0.9.
+
+The focus of this update was decoupling the atmospheric model from the
+compute pipeline. What this means is that users can choose a different model
+or create their own using the `Atmospheric` trait. This sets the groundwork for
+having a variety of models to choose from, each for a different type of game.
+
+With the removal of the `Atmosphere` resource, comes the addition of the
+`AtmosphereModel` resource and the `Nishita` and `Gradient` models. `Nishita`
+is the same model that was used in previous version of bevy_atmosphere.
+`Gradient` is a new model that provides a simple gradient of three colors,
+making it ideal for stylized games.
+
+There is also the `Atmosphere<T>` and `AtmosphereMut<T>` system params,
+which can be used to work with a particular model
+without having to cast it from `AtmosphereModel`.
