 Changes
 =======
 
+Beta 0.3.2
+----------
+Added functionality:
+* Default config file can now be overridden across a system by adding a config.conf file to the source directory. Specifying config file from command line trumps the override file.
+
+Changes:
+* Logging directory has been changed from `irida_uploader` to `irida-uploader` to match config directory naming.

 Beta 0.3.1

+###Admin Config Override
+
+In some workflows it makes sense to have a single irida user account uploading for any user signed in on the sequencer machine. In this case the config override can be used to avoid having to enter the credentials for each new user.
+
+You can add your config file to the source code directory and the uploader will prioritize it over the default user config file.
+
+Note: Specifying the config file with the `--config` option takes priority over the override config file.
+
+#### Windows file location
+
+First, when installing the uploader, make sure to install for all users.
+
+The config file can be placed in the install directories `pkgs` folder. The default is:
+
+`C:\Program Files (x86)\IRIDA Sequence Uploader GUI\pkgs`
+
+#### Linux file location
+
+The config file can be placed into the root directory of the source code: `irida-uploader/`

Optional global configuration file
## Describe your idea for a new feature
Nice to have an optional  global configuration file for sequencer that may have dozen of local users. It is time consuming for each individual user to create the same configuration file.

## Additional information
Add any other context, files, or screenshots about the feature request here.
