 ## Unreleased (but available on Github)
 
+- Added option to change the newLine character via `getNewlineCharacter()` and `setNewlineCharacter()` as suggest by [Roy](https://github.com/FunDeckHermit) in [#69](https://github.com/LennartHennigs/ESPTelnet/pull/69)
+
 **Note:** Unreleased changes are checked in but not part of an official release (available through the Arduino IDE or PlatfomIO) yet. This allows you to test WiP features and give feedback to them.

 ### Output and Input
 
-* Via `print()` and `println()` you can output text on the telnet server.
+* Via `print()`, `printf()` and `println()` you can output text on the telnet server.
 * To receive and parse input from the telnet client you can add a handler via `onInputReceived()`.
 * By default, the library waits for a newline character from the client, and sends data to the callback handler one line at a time. This behaviour can be deactivated by calling `setlineMode(false)`.
+* A default newline character `'\n'` is used to determine the end of a line. This can be overridden by by calling `setNewlineCharacter('\r')` where `'\r'` can be swapped with any character.
