+### Version 1.1.1 - February 11, 2016 ([Maven](http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cio.reactivex%7Crxjava%7C1.1.1%7C))
+
+#### The new `Completable` class
+
+  - [Pull 3444](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/pull/3444) Completable class to support valueless event composition + tests
+
+##### What is this Completable class?
+
+We can think of a `Completable` object as a stripped version of `Observable` where only the terminal events, `onError` and `onCompleted` are ever emitted; they may look like an `Observable.empty()` typified in a concrete class but unlike `empty()`, `Completable` is an active class. `Completable` mandates side effects when subscribed to and it is its main purpose indeed. `Completable` contains some deferred computation with side effects and only notifies about the success or failure of such computation.
+
+Similar to `Single`, the `Completable` behavior can be emulated with `Observable<?>` to some extent, but many API designers think codifying the valuelessness in a separate type is more expressive than messing with wildcards (and usually type-variance problems) in an `Observable` chain.
+
+`Completable` doesn't stream a single value, therefore, it doesn't need backpressure, simplifying the internal structure from one perspective, however, optimizing these internals requires more lock-free atomics knowledge in some respect.
+
+
+##### Hello World!
+
+Let's see how one can build a (side-effecting) Hello World `Completable`:
+
+```java
+Completable.fromAction(() -> System.out.println("Hello World!"))
+.subscribe();
+```
+
+Quite straightforward. We have a set of `fromXXX` method which can take many sources: `Action`, `Callable`, `Single` and even `Observable` (stripping any values generated by the latter 3 of course). On the receiving end, we have the usual subscribe capabilities: empty, lambdas for the terminal events, a `rx.Subscriber` and a `rx.Completable.CompletableSubscriber`, the main intended receiver for `Completable`s.
