+# [NimbusML](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nimbusml/overview) 1.4.0
+
+## **New Features**
+
+- **Add initial implementation of DatasetTransformer.**
+
+    [PR#240](https://github.com/microsoft/NimbusML/pull/240)
+    This transform allows a fitted transformer based model to be inserted
+    in to another `Pipeline`.
+
+    ```python
+    Pipeline([
+        DatasetTransformer(transform_model=transform_pipeline.model),
+        OnlineGradientDescentRegressor(label='c2', feature=['c1'])
+    ])
+    ```
+
+## **Bug Fixes**
+
+- **Fixed `classes_` attribute when no `y` input specified **
+
+    [PR#218](https://github.com/microsoft/NimbusML/pull/218)
+    Fix a bug with the classes_ attribute when no y input is specified during fitting.

+
+    [PR#220](https://github.com/microsoft/NimbusML/pull/220)
+    Fixed a bug that prevented running TensorFlowScorer.

+    [PR#250](https://github.com/microsoft/NimbusML/pull/250)
+    Add support for data output in `scipy.sparse.csr_matrix` format.
 
     ```python
-    Pipeline([
-        DatasetTransformer(transform_model=transform_pipeline.model),
-        OnlineGradientDescentRegressor(label='c2', feature=['c1'])
