+## 1.9.0 (Thursday, 1 October, 2020)
+### Changes
+- Start database transaction much earlier and close it much later for ApiResource and Transformer strategies. Also set current route properly when resolving (https://github.com/knuckleswtf/scribe/pull/104)
+
 ## 1.8.3 (Thursday, 17 September, 2020)
