+### Filter Response Using a Regular Expression (new in `v1.8.0`) 
+
+Version 1.3.0 included an overhaul to the filtering system which will allow for a wide array of filters to be added 
+with minimal effort. The latest addition is a Regular Expression Filter. As responses come back from the scanned server,
+the **body** of the response is checked against the filter's regular expression.  If the expression is found in the 
+body, then that response is filtered out.  
+
+**NOTE: Using regular expressions to filter large responses or many regular expressions may negatively impact performance.**

 ### Replay Responses to a Proxy based on Status Code (new in `v1.5.0`)
 
 The `--replay-proxy` and `--replay-codes` options were added as a way to only send a select few responses to a proxy.  This is in stark contrast to `--proxy` which proxies EVERY request.
