 ### Added (new features/APIs/variables/...)
+- [[PR 578]](https://github.com/lanl/parthenon/pull/578) Add some profiling regions to tasks in particles example
 - [[PR 577]](https://github.com/lanl/parthenon/pull/577) Update invalid indices to allow for no-op loops
 - [[PR 564]](https://github.com/lanl/parthenon/pull/564) Add EstimateTimestep to particles example task list
 - [[PR 557]](https://github.com/lanl/parthenon/pull/557) Re-enable `InitMeshBlockUserData` so data can be set per-remeshing
