 ## [0.3.0] - 2018-03-29
+
 ### Added
+
 - The bot now also handles submissions.
 - Added an option `--prosfile` to control where the bot stores the IDs of
   processed submissions. The default is `processed_submissions_SUBREDDIT.txt` in

   of 500 processed submissions.

 ### Added
+

   processed comments. The default is `processed_comments_SUBREDDIT.txt` in the
   bot's working directory.

   in case there is an API exception (default: 15 minutes).

   more than 600 processed comment IDs are stored, the procfile is pruned down
   to 500 comments.

 ## [0.1.1] - 2017-10-28
