+### Dampening
+
+Since 0.3.0 the MINMAX library has experimental support for a linear dampening 
+of the minimum and maximum.
+
+In every call to **add()** the values of MIN and MAX are brought closer together.
+Therefore one does not need to reset them as these two are constantly adjusted
+towards each other. 
+The amount of dampening is a positive float and its value depends on the typical
+values one adds with **mm.add(value)**. 
+If the dampening value is too large, the min and max will follow the "signal"
+quite fast.
+
+Note: MIN is dampened first, and MAX is later. This might cause that MAX cannot
+be dampened anymore for the full amount. This is an arbitrary choice.
+
+- **void setDampening(const float value)** set dampening value. Default 0.
+- **float getDampening()** get the current dampening value.
+
+Note: The behavior might change a bit in the future e.g. both dampen for 50% of
+the dampening value seems to be a valid behavior. Also make the dampening for MAX and MIN different could be an option.
+
+
 ## Obsolete
 
 - **void autoReset(uint32_t count)** obsolete since 0.2.0
