 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- `eo:cloud_cover` and `eo:snow_cover` can be used in bands
+- `eo:common_name`, `eo:center_wavelength`, `eo:full_width_half_max` and `eo:solar_illumination` can be used in Assets and Item Properties
+
+### Changed
+
+- `eo:bands` is now using the more general `bands` construct from STAC common metadata
+- The following fields in the Band Object have been moved/renamed:
+  - `name` was *not* renamed, but has been moved to STAC common metadata
+  - `description` was *not* renamed, but has been moved to STAC common metadata
+  - `common_name` has been renamed to `eo:common_name`
+  - `center_wavelength` has been renamed to `eo:center_wavelength`
+  - `full_width_half_max` has been renamed to `eo:full_width_half_max`
+  - `solar_illumination` has been renamed to `eo:solar_illumination`
+- The bands in Item Properties are not meant to be the union of the asset bands any longer
+  You usually don't list bands in Item Properties any longer unless all assets have the same bands.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `eo:bands` - use `bands` instead

-The `eo:bands` array is used to describe the available [spectral 
-bands](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/spectral-band) in an Asset. This enables clients to read  
-the file and understand which band is 'red' and which is 'nir' (near infrared) so that it can perform an 
-[NDVI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_difference_vegetation_index) operation, for example. Each Asset should specify
-its own band object. If the individual bands are repeated in different assets they should all use the same values and

-The `eo:bands` array may optionally be used in the Item Properties to summarize the available bands in the assets. This should
-be a 'union' of all the possible bands represented in assets. It should be considered merely informative - clients should rely

-a defined bands array.

-This is typically the name the data provider uses for the band. It should be treated like an 'id', to identify that a particular

 ## Best Practices
 
 One of the emerging best practices is to use [Asset Roles](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/tree/master/item-spec/item-spec.md#asset-roles)
-to provide clients with more information about the assets in an item. The following list includes a shared vocabulary for some common EO assets. 
+to provide clients with more information about the assets in an item. The following list includes a shared vocabulary for some common EO assets.
 This list should not be considered definitive, and implementors are welcome to use other asset roles. If consensus and tooling consolidates around
 these role names then they will be specified in the future as more standard than just 'best practices'.
