+## 2.1.2
+
+* Add optional `iPol` field to `txInfo` struct in JSON to override the default
+  behaviour (which is `iPol=true` when using LoRa modulation)

 ## 2.1.1
 
 * Do not unmarshal and marshal PHYPayload on receiving / sending

+Optionally, the field `iPol` (type `bool`) can be used to control the
