 # master
 
-* **feat** add `sort` config option
+* **feat**: pass workspace name and path to Lua function hooks
+
+  If a hook is a Lua function, the workspace name and path will be passed as
+  arguments to the function. This allows hooks to respond differently depending
+  on the name and path of the workspace if desired.
+
+* **feat**: add `sort` config option
 
   Set to true by default. Sorts the list of workspaces by name after loading
   from the workspaces file. All lists of workspaces (commands, completions,
   .get() api) will be sorted.
 
-* **feat** add `global_cd` config option
+* **feat**: add `global_cd` config option
 
   This may be used to only change directory in the current window rather than
   for the entire neovim process.
 
-* **deprecated** `:Workspaces [add|remove|open|list]` commands
+* **deprecated**: `:Workspaces [add|remove|open|list]` commands
 
   use `:Workspaces[Add|Remove|Open|List]`. The old command will work until
   version 1.0, but it will warn each time it is called.
 
-* **feat** improved command completion
+* **feat**: improved command completion
 
   This introduces `:WorkspacesAdd`, `:WorkspacesRemove`, `:WorkspacesList`, and
   `:WorkspacesOpen` commands. See deprecation warning above. The new commands
   offer path completion, are more standard, and are easier to maintain.
 
-* **feat** add `workspaces.name()` api function to query the current workpace
+* **feat**: add `workspaces.name()` api function to query the current workspace
   name.
 
-* **feat** add `open_pre` hook support.
+* **feat**: add `open_pre` hook support.
