 News: January 2016
 ------------------
+__Version 1.5.0__ has been released. There are no code changes, but we now have http://packagist.org/ integration, hopefully this triggers it to start working. If you use packagist, you can now add the library to your project by just running `composer require globalcitizen/php-iban` (thanks to @acoulton for pointing the way)
+
 __Version 1.4.9__ has been released using the new Github-based release process. Hopefully this provides a solid anchor point for those bundling the library with other software. We also have a contributed composer metadata file to ease integration.
 New IBAN registry URLs integrated.
 Removed old SVN tag/trunk structure.
