+## 4.1.0-b1
+  * Speech Responder
+    * Fixed a bug that could prevent variables set with `set` from being available in some contexts. 
+    * Scripts
+      * `Blueprint make report` updated to fix a typo (stray letter).
+      * `Material discard report` updated to tidy context.
+      * `Material inventory report` updated to tidy context.
+      * `Mission check galaxy` updated to make `allmissions()` internal function pure.
+      * `Mission check system` updated to make `addstation()` internal function pure.
+      * `Star scanned` updated to fix a typo (missing comma).
+      * `System materials report` updated to fix an error with the `isSeleniumSpecialCase` helper function.
+  * VoiceAttack
+    * Variables set with SetState are now set to as types as possible (e.g. TXT, DEC, INT, SMALL, BOOL) in VoiceAttack.
+
+## 4.1.0-a2
+  * Speech Responder
+    * Increased the render cycle limit (<https://cottle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/page/04-configuration.html#render-cycle-limit>) from 10,0000 to 100,000.
+    * Scripts
+      * `System materials report` updated to more efficiently identify volcanic bodies.
+
 ## 4.1.0-a1
   * Events
     * `Cargo Transfer` added. (#2621)
+  * Speech Responder
+    * Update Cottle to latest available experimental version. Variables which are set in a script are now being stored in an immutable context. While these variables can still be passed to a child script / context, variables in a child script / context cannot be set and passed back to a parent script / context.
+    * Custom Functions
+      * A variable set with `SetState` can no longer be retrieved using `state` from the same script / context where it was set. 
+      * `GetState` has been added to allow retrieval of state variables in the same script / context where it was set. 
+    * Scripts
+      * `Blueprint make report` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `Blueprint material report` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `Galnet news` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `Material discard report` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `Material inventory report` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `Material required report` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `Material location report` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `Material use report` updated to simplify state retrieval.
+      * `System materials report` updated to use `factionState` variable name rather than reserved `state` variable name.
+  * VoiceAttack
+    * EDDI.vap commands updated to synchronize state variable names with updated scripts.
+    * Whole number variables set with SetState are now set as INT values rather than DEC values in VoiceAttack.
