 **Fixes**
 
-- Fixed JSON pointers using negative indices. The JSON Pointer specification (RFC 6901) does not allow negative array indexes. We now raise a `JSONPointerIndexError` if a JSON Pointer attempts to resolve an array item with a negative index. See [#115](https://github.com/jg-rp/python-jsonpath/issues/115). For anyone needing JSON Pointers that support negative indexes, set `JSONPointer.min_int_index` to a suitably negative integer, like `JSONPointer.min_int_index = -(2**53) + 1`.
+- Fixed JSON pointers with negative indices.
+
+  Previously, negative indices were resolved against array-like values, but the JSON Pointer specification (RFC 6901) does not permit negative array indexes. We now raise a `JSONPointerIndexError` when a JSON Pointer attempts to resolve an array element using a negative index.
+
+  For users who require negative indices in JSON Pointers, you can set `JSONPointer.min_int_index` to a suitably negative integer, like `JSONPointer.min_int_index = -(2**53) + 1`.
+
+  See [#116](https://github.com/jg-rp/python-jsonpath/pull/116).
+
+- Fixed the JSON Patch `add` operation.
+
+  Previously, a `JSONPatchError` was raised when pointing to an array index equal to the array's length. Now we append to arrays in such cases. See [#117](https://github.com/jg-rp/python-jsonpath/issues/117).
