+## 1.3.9 (September 03, 2020)
+* Breaking Changes
+    * `CommandSet.on_unregister()` is now called as first step in unregistering a `CommandSet` and not
+    the last. `CommandSet.on_unregistered()` is now the last step.
+* Enhancements
+    * Added `CommandSet.on_registered()`. This is called by `cmd2.Cmd` after a `CommandSet` is registered
+    and all its commands have been added to the CLI.
+    * Added `CommandSet.on_unregistered()`. This is called by `cmd2.Cmd` after a `CommandSet` is unregistered
+    and all its commands have been removed from the CLI.

 ## 1.3.8 (August 28, 2020)
 * Bug Fixes
     * Fixed issue where subcommand added with `@as_subcommand_to` decorator did not display help

 * Dynamically Loadable/Unloadable Commands - Command functions and CommandSets can both be loaded and unloaded
   dynamically during application execution. This can enable features such as dynamically loaded modules that

+* Events handlers - Four event handlers are provided in ``CommandSet`` class for custom initialization

 * Subcommand Injection - Subcommands can be defined separately from the base command. This allows for a more
   action-centric instead of object-centric command system while still organizing your code and handlers around the
   objects being managed.
